My ceremonies are all about flexibility and choice. To reflect this, I offer 4 different packages. There's no 'Basic' or 'VIP' package; my ceremonies are anything but basic, and all my couples are VIPs!
My 4 packages are all named after classic love songs (but which version of The Power of Love is your favourite? For me, it's Frankie Goes to Hollywood!)
Whichever package you choose, you can be assured of my undivided attention and a unique, personalised ceremony that you'll never forget.

Want to get away from all the wedding noise? Want to celebrate with just 'The One?'
If you're looking for a beautiful, intimate ceremony that's personal, not transactional, this package is just for you.
Whether it's on a clifftop, in a forest or your own back garden, I'll help you craft a ceremony where nothing else matters but you.
I'll hold space for you to speak from the heart. I'll help you share what you love about each other and, if you need it, give help writing vows and affirmations.

This package includes:

his package includes everything in option 1 but with 4-5 planning meetings, PLUS:

This package includes everything in option 2, PLUS:

This is a full handfasting ceremony for those interested in celebrating celtic, pagan and Wiccan traditions.
This package includes:
Please note: the handfasting ribbon is not included. It's best that you purchase this or make it yourself, to reflect your personal tastes.

All naming and welcome ceremonies include: 2-3 planning meetings, unlimited script revisions, ongoing telephone and email support, and a commemorative ceremony script and certificate.
A deposit of £200 is payable on booking, with the balance due 1 month before the ceremony.
This can take place around two to seven days before the ceremony and is a chance for you and any friends and family involved to 'walk through' key parts of the ceremony with me. It won't include everything; we'll save the magic for the big day! But it will help everyone involved to know their cues and where they need to be.
A rehearsal isn't essential, but it could be useful if you have a lot of people, or if any of the wedding party are nervous about the ceremony. It's also a good opportunity to practice using microphones if you've opted to. We can make last-minute revisions to my script and your vows at this stage.

I'll happily travel to venues around the country - Belinda Berlingo and I love a road trip! There will be a mileage charge of 45 p per mile for locations more than 30 miles from my home address in South Birmingham.
Certain destinations within the UK may incur an overnight B and B or hotel stay. If this is the case I will make it clear at your consultation and give you an estimated cost.
And I'll never turn down the chance to travel outside the UK! Travel and accomodation costs can be discussed at your consultation.

I offer flexible payment plans for couples ceremonies, either in 3 parts or by monthly instalments.
A deposit of 1/3 of the ceremony fee will secure your booking and enable me to start planning. I'll send you a draft schedule, questionnaires, and if you've opted for the 'Power of Love' or 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' package, I'll send ideas for vows, readings and music.
A second instalment of 1/3 of the ceremony fee is payable 3 months before the ceremony. After this, I'll send you the first draft of your script. If you want to make your second payment and see your script sooner, just ask.
The remaining 1/3 of the fee is payable 1 month before the ceremony.
If you prefer, you can spread the cost by monthly payments via Standing Order.
Payment can be made by bank transfer (preferred), debit or credit card. Please note that a 2% processing fee applies to card payments.
