Full Description
If you are looking for a fun and creative celebrant who is on a mission to create authentic, memorable personalised wedding ceremonies then you are in the right place!
Sam loves helping couples who want to inject their distinctive personalities into their wedding ceremonies, and wants to empower couples to be able to escape the restrictions of a dull civil ceremony.
She wants to make wedding ceremonies fun, personal and unique, one ceremony at a time.
Celebrant wedding ceremonies are all about personalisation and finding what is important to you both. The ceremony can be light-hearted or serious, can mention religion or films and have song lyrics as readings. It really can contain whatever you want, and Sam is very flexible with her style. After all, all love stories are unique so why shouldn’t all ceremonies be?
Outside wedding ceremonies are her favourite to conduct. Whether they be in fields, woodlands, vineyards or back gardens. Sam loves being surrounded by nature, but to be honest loves ALL weddings!
Sam makes friends with her couples and captures the heart of their love story. Which she weaves into a heartfelt, emotional and unique wedding script following the same structure as traditional wedding ceremonies but with the added bonus of personalisation.
Bringing love, laugher and all the feels to your wedding ceremony.
Leaving your guests laughing out loud, understanding you more as a couple, and asking how long you have all been friends.
Join Sam on this creative journey to make your wedding ceremony individually unique to you, and proudly stand out from the crowd.
Additionally, as Sam is also a wedding planner it is possible for her to advise on all aspects of the wedding and order of the day. She is able to do On the Day Coordination, lead a celebrant led ceremony and then go back to coordinating the wedding day. This makes SDCelebrations pretty unusual.

The best money spent on our wedding
The best money spent on our Wedding was the services of Samantha at SDCelebrations! She is a perfectionist who ensured our day went without a single hitch from making sure all the candles were lit at dusk to ensuring the bride & groom had bottles of water in the car for after the service. Things that you wouldn’t consider that make a huge difference on the day. If you are having a marquee wedding you WILL need help & I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you for everything & for making our Wedding perfect.

What is your most memorable wedding?
I once had a bride on roller skates!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Sam is professional, supportive, calm under pressure, & will take the time to ensure that everyone involved in the wedding is comfortable within their role.
What about your business are you most proud of?
That I get to help couples celebrate their love in whatever way is important to them.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Listen to the advice from the experts who have done this before and let them help guide your decisions.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
For one outside wedding that I conducted. The bridesmaids didn’t carry flowers. They carried the couples tiny dogs down the aisle instead! They looked so cute!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Many of my couples start with saying that they have no idea when to begin so are looking for direction, advice and support. Reassurance is key that even if you are unsure of what to do that I have it all in hand, and I will support and advise you both during the lead up to the wedding day with as much guidance and suggestions as you need.
I initially talk through the rough structure of a ceremony and then am on hand to encourage you to share with me your personal story for me to compose into your unique script. I choose to do this in the style of a questionnaire that can be filled out in your own time. I only need one questionnaire in order to get started on your ceremony, so don’t feel that you have to wait for your fiancé to finish theirs!
Further down the planning line I am also that all important impartial party who can read each person’s personalised vows and help coach them until they balance in length and content.
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
You may not have gotten married before, but trust in my experience and knowledge to support you on this exciting journey, I’ve worked on hundreds of weddings.
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
For me its when the bride walks down the aisle, it's a goosebump moment every time!
