Richard The Celebrant Full Description

More and more couples in the UK are discovering that they have options in respect of their wedding ceremony. For many, the formal and limiting registrar-led ceremony isn't the answer for them. A celebrant-led wedding allows them to overcome the strict, traditional restrictions that are found in religious and civil ceremonies. A celebrant ceremony gives them the opportunity to inject personality and heart into their special day, creating something that is truly unique and captures the essence and love of your relationship. As a qualified (I mention that because it's not a requirement in the UK!) and experienced celebrant, my goal is to get to know you, then create a lovely ceremony that is completely personalised, relaxed and fun.

Sincere, professional and trustworthy

I knew exactly who I was looking for when I reached out for a celebrant. I wanted someone with presence, who would speak clearly and with feeling and someone who could manage a potentially feisty crowd. That is exactly who I got in Richard. But I also got someone who was 100% trustworthy, who made the effort to understand what we wanted, who wrote a beautiful, sincere service that totally reflected who we are and our 20 year journey. Our guests all commented on how personal, sincere, touching and funny our service was. And Richard had a total grip of the proceedings from the moment he arrived to the moment he left. He made sure everyone knew what they were doing beforehand so the service was flawless. Thank you Richard.
