Maxine Ward - Celebrant

I have always loved a traditional wedding ceremony and think that you can have this without being constricted with the surroundings, order and words that are dictated by it. I specialise in taking the foundations of your traditions, those parts of it that you want to embrace, and explore how you can make it your own. There are no rules. Traditional words, hymns and prayers can be combined with ritual. You can choose to throw the rule book out of the window, have a small nod to your traditions or go fully traditional. Who says you can’t have a Japanese tea ceremony after a making traditional vows, a hand tying ceremony followed by a traditional reading or the bride and groom wearing something different whilst using the same words that were spoken at their parents ceremony? In one of my most memorable weddings the bride and groom were wed in their hunting jackets, made very traditional vows, before leaping on to their horses. Another was where the bride was driven up the aisle the back of a 2CV and the groom arrived in a Porsche. With a celebrant led ceremony you can have your wedding your way.
