Weddings
My Service
Standing by your side through your journey, Kindred Ceremonies will help you create your perfect ceremony. Anything goes. Whatever reading, ritual or practice you want to have, however sleek, stylish, bold or bright you want it, however complex or simple you choose, we can create it together. From the flicker of an idea right through to the moment you say I do, Kindred Ceremonies will be with you. I want to get to know you both, and discover exactly what makes you unique so your ceremony will reflect you both as people individually, and together as a couple.
Your
Journey
- Initially, we will start with a phone call to explain a bit more about Kindred Ceremonies, my experiences and answer any questions you have. Choosing the right Celebrant is extremely important, and this way we can sense each others vibes, and you will know if I am the right Celebrant for you.
​
- You will then be sent a list of questions to answer, to help me get to know you. Take your time answering these, there is no rush. We will then arrange to meet up, so I can get to know you both in person, and we can explore the questions further and discuss how you want the ceremony to be. Whilst completely open to any ideas you have, I can also offer guidance and ideas too if you want them.
​
- The next step is for me to devise and write your ceremony, and I'll send you the script. We can edit and redraft the script via email and phone conversations, until you decide it is perfect. I'll be there at the rehearsal the day before if needed, and then of course on your wedding day to officiate your marriage.
Rituals
With experience in a variety of rituals, most popular being Handfasting (a Celtic ritual binding hands together with a ribbon or cord), Candle Lighting (in the memory of loved ones not able to attend), and Ring Warming (a ritual where each guest blesses the rings before they are exchanged), you can have your ceremony however you please. I have a vast knowledge of many rituals, and can include religious as well as non-religious rituals in the service too, and can help you to compose vows if needed.
Scripts
The script is a written document containing every part of your ceremony, from the moment you arrive until you leave as a married couple. My scripts are divided into titled sections, so you know exactly how the ceremony will run and what we will be doing in each part and why. I will send you a copy of the script via email, and we can re-draft if needed until it's perfect.
Unique
to you
What is most important throughout this process is making sure your day is exactly how you want it to be. Each couple is unique, and I want to capture these unique qualities and implement them into your ceremony. Whatever idea you have, and however you want to express your love for each other, we can make it happen.

Elopement
Just the two
of you
Want to escape, just the two of you? Perhaps a couple of friends as well? The Elopement service is a condensed version of the above which allows for a personal and private ceremony, but with a quick turnaround. Everything is discussed and planned over the phone or via video call before we meet on the big day.
