People often ask me how do you choose a celebrant and I always reply look at their website and social media posts but most importantly meet them in person because that is the only way you will know if they are the person you want to create your ceremony, to be with you through all of those precious moments and to share your story with your famoly and friends!

Thats one of the reasons that wedding fairs can be so helpful as you get chance to talk you people and get a feel for them.

Every so often you get the opportunity to wear something a little different to conduct a ceremony because it really reflects the life and passions of the person.

Please respond to the ‘Tying the Knot’ government proposals - Consultation closes on THURSDAY!!

Hopefully many of upi have seen and read the consultation document on reforming marriage law in England and Wales that was published by the Ministry of Justice at the end of July.

If not then please do read it on this link:

The proposals seem to very well considered, and an excellent framework has been produced, based on the research carried out by the Law Commission. If the proposals are carried through, it will bring much needed choice to weddings, making the option to marry more attractive and flexible for couples. The role of the independent celebrant is discussed fully so please look carefully at sections 6 and 7 in particular!

This is your chance to tell the government what you would like to see happen and suggest ideas directly to them. Please ask your family and friends to respond as well. Whether you are engaged and wanting options, already married and wish there had been more flexibility or just want your children and grandchildren to have the possibility of having a wedding ceremony which feels personal and meaningful to them or if you don't want change then now is your chance to make a difference. Thank you!

Felt like we had all versions of the weather this morning until the gods came out on our side and blew the clouds away leaving a gorgeous day for L&D to have their fabulous wedding ceremony with in the beautiful walled garden on the estate, so the marquee could provide shade rather than shelter! What wonderful family and friends all happy to help and offer their skills in whatever way they were needed to bring this fabulous couple's dream to reality! What a pleasure to be a part of!
