PERSONALISED WEDDINGS FOR COUPLES WHO WANT A CEREMONY THAT COULD NEVER BELONG TO ANYONE ELSE
One of a Kind Celebrant Wedding Ceremonies
COVERING YORKSHIRE & THE NORTH EAST
If you haven't guessed by now, I love colour. I bring all the joy of colour and my creativity into every ceremony I write. Your story isn't the same as everyone else's, and your ceremony shouldn't be either. I show a genuine curiosity about every couple I work with, noticing the little details which are actually significant, and I bring a personality that immediately makes you feel at ease. My creative style runs through everything I write, but never in a way that's louder than your story deserves.
None of my ceremonies are built from a template. They're not a standard script with your names added in. Whichever package you choose, your ceremony is built entirely around you, your story, your relationship, and what matters most to you both.
If you're the kind of couple who wants your ceremony to feel unmistakably yours, not borrowed, not templated, one of these packages is for you. Written entirely around you, with the freedom to shape every part of it your way.
Because when you look back years from now, I want you to remember not just the words, but the feeling of expressing your love and commitment to each other in a way that's true to you and your relationship.
Three ways to work together
Every couple is different, so here are three ways we can work together, whatever level of support feels right for you.
The Statement Bouquet, from £750. The full experience. I'm with you from our first hello to your final word, and I deliver your ceremony myself.
The Hand-Tied, from £650. The same heart and craft, with a slightly smaller scope.
The Seed Packet, from £450. A celebrant-written script for you, or someone you love, to deliver yourselves.
Whichever package you choose it includes as standard: an enquiry call, no pressure, just a chat to see if we're the right fit and a planning meeting to get to know you and your story.
A professional celebrant on the day. I'll liaise with your other suppliers and deliver your ceremony.
A fully personalised ceremony script, written entirely around you.
Unlimited edits, until it feels exactly right.
One to one support writing your personal vows (as much or as little as you'd like), including my Vow Writing Workbook, part of Wildflower Words.
Vocal coaching to give you confidence to say your vows on the day and manage any nerves, part of Wildflower Words.
Professionally designed and premium printed presentation copy of your ceremony script, vow cards and certificate to keep.
A planning meeting to get to know you and your story (face to face if you're within 40 miles of Great Ayton, virtual if you're further away).
A pre-wedding rehearsal, in person if your venue is within 40 miles of Great Ayton, virtual if further away.
Ideas and inspiration for symbolic elements, rituals, and readings.
My commitment that I only book one wedding per day. If you need to delay the start of the ceremony for any reason, you can be assured I'll still be on the premises.
Because your ceremony deserves the full arrangement, every element, every detail, nothing held back.
from £750
Includes ceremony day mileage within a 40 mile radius of Great Ayton, North Yorkshire. Additional mileage charged at 0.55p per mile. For venues more than three hours from Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, please note an accommodation fee will be requested. International venues will require an "away from home" per day fee.
£250 non-refundable deposit payable to secure the date, and for me to begin work on your ceremony. Balance due three months before the wedding day. Upon receipt of the balance, your script will be sent through for approval.
The Statement Bouquet includes:
The Statement Bouquet:
This is the full, top to toe experience: from our very first enquiry call right through to the moment I stand up and deliver your ceremony myself. I'll get to know your story properly, write a script that could only ever belong to you, and give you unlimited edits until every word feels right. You'll have one to one support writing your own vows, vocal coaching to help you say them with confidence, and a proper rehearsal before the big day itself. Every reading, ritual, and detail is considered, and you'll walk away with a premium, printed copy of your ceremony to keep forever
Still entirely handcrafted, just gathered a little differently.
from £650
Includes ceremony day mileage within a 40 mile radius of Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, on the same terms as above.
A professional celebrant on the day to deliver your ceremony.
A fully personalised ceremony script, written entirely around you.
Unlimited edits.
Vow writing guidance, including my Vow Writing Workbook, part of Wildflower Words.
A presentation copy of your ceremony script, vow cards and certificate to keep.
A planning meeting to get to know you and your story (face to face if you're within 40 miles of Great Ayton, virtual if you're further away).
A pre-wedding virtual rehearsal.
Ideas and inspiration for symbolic elements, rituals, and readings.
My commitment that I only book one wedding per day. If you need to delay the start of the ceremony for any reason, you can be assured I'll still be on the premises.
The Hand Tied
A genuine mid-tier choice: some, not all, of the Statement Bouquet's elements, still completely yours.
The Hand-Tied gives you the same handcrafted care as the Statement Bouquet, just in a slightly smaller scope. You'll still get a fully personalised ceremony script, unlimited edits, and guidance (plus my workbook) for writing your own vows, along with beautifully designed vow cards and a virtual rehearsal so you feel properly prepared. It's the right choice if you want a script and a ceremony done properly, without needing every single extra.
The Hand Tied includes:
Everything you need to grow your own ceremony.
from £450
The Seed Packet includes:
A celebrant-written ceremony script, with prompts and direction to help whoever's delivering it feel confident on the day.
Two rounds of script edits.
My Vow Writing Workbook, part of Wildflower Words.
A virtual planning meeting to get to know you and your story.
Ideas and inspiration for symbolic elements, rituals, and readings.
An optional call with whoever's delivering the ceremony, so they feel fully prepared.
Want me there in person? An optional add-on is available for £150 plus travel, which includes an in-person visit and a virtual rehearsal.
The Seed Packet
A celebrant-written script, ready for you (or someone you love) to deliver on the day.
If you're planning your own ceremony, or having someone close to you deliver it, The Seed Packet gives you everything you need to do it beautifully. I'll write your script exactly as I would for any couple, full of your story and your voice, complete with prompts and direction to help whoever's reading it feel confident on the day. You'll get two rounds of edits, my Vow Writing Workbook, and an optional call with whoever's delivering it, so they walk in feeling fully prepared.
How it works
It starts with a conversation, a relaxed chat (in person or online) to talk about you, your story, and what you're hoping for. No pressure, no sales talk.
1. Say Hello
Complete your booking form, contract, and deposit to lock in your day. The remaining balance is due 12 weeks before your ceremony. (Payment plans available).
2. Secure your date
3. Getting to know you
5. Vow writing support
4. Ceremony writing
Through questionnaires and conversations, I get to know you, your relationship, your people, and the moments that matter most.
I write your ceremony and share a draft well ahead of your wedding. You can tweak, refine, and shape it until it feels exactly right.
I provide one to one support using my practical workbook to help you write & refine your vows. We have a pre-ceremony run-through and you get to breathe.
6. On the day
I arrive early, brief everyone involved, and lead your ceremony while you relax and enjoy. Post-ceremony, a printed keepsake of your script, vows, and readings is yours to keep.
The legal bit - what you need to know
Celebrant-led ceremonies aren’t currently legally binding in the UK but for most couples, this isn’t the barrier it might seem. Many simply complete the legal paperwork at a register office before or after the day (a short, simple appointment with two witnesses). That leaves your ceremony free to be exactly what it should be: personal, meaningful, and entirely your own.

We cannot recommend Dawn highly enough!
From the moment we met Dawn at The Croft open day, we knew she was someone special. Her warm personality, positive energy, and genuine passion for what she does immediately put us at ease.
Throughout the planning process, Dawn took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our story, ensuring our ceremony felt completely personal and authentic. She guided us every step of the way, from helping us write meaningful vows to suggesting beautiful ceremony elements such as hand fasting, a sand ceremony, and a shot ceremony, all of which made our day even more memorable.
