Weddings, Civil Partnerships and Vow Renewals: £450-£900

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.

Just the Two Of Us £450

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. 

All About You £600

This package includes:

  •  3 planning meetings, including at least one at your venue
  • liaison with your venue and other key suppliers (photographer,  musicians, venue dresser etc)
  • a personalised script, telling your story and letting your personalities shine
  • unlimited script revisions
  • ongoing telephone, WhatsApp and email support
  • A final Zoom call about a week before the wedding to check on the final script and make sure everything is OK ahead of the ceremony. 
  • a commemorative ceremony script and certificate 

The Power Of Love £750

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

  • Help with choosing readings and writing vows
  • a symbolic action such as handtying, candle ceremony or sand ceremony. Or we can go for something more creative, based on your own interests and passions! 
  • The chance for your friends and family members to add their memories and messages to the ceremony script by contacting me beforehand. 

I Don't Want To Miss A Thing £900

This package includes everything in option 2, PLUS:

  • Acting as MC for your reception/wedding breakfast, introducing speeches, first dance, cake cutting etc. 
  • Your ceremony script presented as a keepsake hardback book, with photographs. This will be sent after the ceremony. If your official photographer is happy to share photos to include in your book, I'll use those. Otherwise I'll use mine and/or photos shared by your guests. 

Take My Hand (full handfasting ceremony) £900

This is a full handfasting ceremony for those interested in celebrating celtic, pagan and Wiccan traditions. 

This package includes:

  • full planning and script writing services as detailed in the "Power Of Love' package
  • an assistant celebrant to help on the day
  • setting up the circle and equipment for symbolic actions
  • liaising with your elemental readers
  • a commemorative hand-crafted candle
  • jumping the broom
  • directing guests after the main ceremony

Please note: the handfasting ribbon is not included. It's best that you purchase this or make it yourself, to reflect your personal tastes. 


Naming and Welcome Ceremonies £450

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. 

Ceremony Rehearsal £75

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. 

Travel

 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.

Payment Plans

Payment Plans

I offer flexible payment plans for couples ceremonies, either in 3 parts or  by monthly instalments.

Part 1: Deposit

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. 

Part 2: 3 months ahead

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.

Part 3: 1 month ahead

The remaining 1/3 of the fee is payable  1 month before the ceremony.

Monthly instalments

If you prefer, you can spread the cost by monthly payments via Standing Order.

Payment methods

Payment can be made by bank transfer (preferred), debit or credit card. Please note that a 2% processing fee applies to card payments.
