Hi! I'm Katy🕺
Storyteller, memory-maker, hopeless romantic, and celebrant, with a genuine passion for people and the moments that matter most.
Whether I'm standing beneath a canopy of woodland trees helping two people say "I do", marrying a couple in the place they first met, or celebrating decades of love through a vow renewal, my mission is always the same: to tell your story in a way that feels authentic, personal, and unforgettable.
There's nothing I love more than getting to know the people at the heart of a ceremony. I'll dive into your memories, your milestones, your quirks, your adventures, and all the little details that make you uniquely you. The result? A ceremony that feels less like a script and more like a story told by someone who's known you for years.
For me, celebrancy isn't just a job, it's a privilege. It's the chance to create laughter, happy tears, meaningful moments, and memories that stay with people long after the ceremony ends.
Every love story deserves to be celebrated. And I'd be honoured to help tell yours.
With Love Ceremonies, based in Toddington, Bedfordshire, offers professional and heartfelt wedding celebrant services.
Experience
Can we write our own vow's?
Absolutely! I love it when couples write their own vows – it’s such a personal and powerful moment. If you’d like to, I will be on hand to help you if you need some guidance. Once you’ve written them, just email them over to me so I can do a little read through (and check that they balance nicely). And don’t worry – I’ll also print them for you on the day.
What's included in your fee?
BEFORE THE DAY
- A no-obligation call before you book, so we can check we are a good fit for each other.
- A couples questionnaire - to get to know you a little better before we meet.
- An online or in person planning meeting.
- Advice or suggestions for readings / poems if needed.
- Support with writing vows, if that's something you have chosen to do.
- Writing a totally unique script for your ceremony, and working with you to make any edits or tweaks needed until you are completely happy with it.
- Final summary, tips and checklists in the week leading up to your ceremony.
What about on the day?
ON THE DAY
- Exclusive use! I only ever book one wedding a day, so that I can give it my full attention and can be flexible with timings.
- Travel to and from your venue (If under 50 miles).
- Helping out for an hour before and after the ceremony (arranging the ceremony space, shepherding guests, or dealing with anything else that crops up!)
- Conducting a heartfelt and completely unique ceremony which has you and your guests loving every single second.
- Including any alternative wedding rituals or symbolic actions that take your fancy.
- A certificate designed to fit your colour scheme to sign as part of the ceremony (if you would like that as a photo opportunity – not everyone does!)

And after our wedding?
AFTER THE BIG DAY
- Presentation copies of your ceremony script (printed and digital) as keepsakes
- A friend for life (if you want me!)
What’s the difference between a registrar and a celebrant?
At the moment Registrars handle the legal bit, and have to follow an official script. A celebrant, on the other hand, gets to make it completely personal, wonderfully flexible, and absolutely bursting with your story. A lot of couples do a quick legal signing at the register office, and then save the real magic (rings exchange, vows, announcing in front of friends and family) for their celebrant-led day.
This could be set to change in the future as the government are currently reviewing the marriage laws in the UK, and we hope sometime in the near future that celebrants will also be able to conduct legal ceremonies.
Can we include cultural or religious aspects?
Absolutely! – I love this. Maybe you’re not religious enough for a fully religious wedding, but you want to weave in those little nods to your heritage. From Hymns, to breaking the glass (*Mazel Tov!*), to a Celtic handfasting – I welcome it all! If it’s something I haven’t seen before, I’d be excited to learn. If it matters to you, let’s talk about how we can make it part of your ceremony!
How long does a celebrant ceremony usually last?
Generally most are around 30–40 minutes. Long enough to tell your story, laugh, cry and celebrate – but not so long that your guests get restless and thirsty! The length of the ceremony will always vary depending on additional elements, such as readings, symbolic actions and music choices.
Can we include family members, pets or children?
Yes, yes, yes! Whether it’s your dog trotting down the aisle as the ring bearer, a child doing an adorable reading, or your nan being part of the action – I love weaving in the people and pets! that matter most to you. When I get to know you, I also get to know everyone around you and everyone important to you and we’ll chat about all the ways we can include them.
what's a symbolic action, and how can we add to our day?
Symbolic actions are completely personal and can be tailored to suit a couple’s story and style.
Some popular symbolic actions include:
Handfasting – ribbons or cords are tied around the couple’s hands to symbolise unity and commitment. Family members, friends or children can easily get involved in this one!
Unity candle ceremony – two individual candles are used to light one larger candle together.
Ring warming – wedding rings are passed among guests so they can silently offer blessings or well wishes before the vows.
Tree planting – planting seeds or a small tree together to symbolise growth and strength.
Memory or tribute rituals – lighting candles, reading poems or placing flowers in honour of loved ones who have passed away.
Jumping the broom - The couple jump over a broom together to symbolise sweeping away the old and beginning a new life as one. It represents unity, commitment, and the start of a shared home and future.
