Silver Bee Ceremonies Full Description
Silver Bee Ceremonies is all about creating memories for the most special events in your life. Each of my ceremonies is bespoke and personal focusing on the values and wishes of the couples I work with. They’re a celebration of love and empower people to celebrate in the way they want, whether that’s a festival style wedding or one at a stately home, or an intimate celebration for just a few close friends – together we can design your perfect ceremony. I love incorporating symbolic gestures in to my ceremonies that are right for each couple and family whether that is a hand fasting, Jewish breaking of glass, a sand blending or Bulgarian bread breaking. We can talk through the traditions you would like for your ceremony and I will include these in a way that is inclusive and memorable. Outdoor ceremonies, in a woodland copse or lakeside, are my favourites so if you are looking for a celebrant for your festival or boho style wedding I could be just the person you are looking for! I mainly conduct ceremonies in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and London but I’m happy to travel anywhere. So if you are thinking of getting married or having your naming in Dartmoor, the Dales or somewhere further afield such as vineyard in the Dordogne I’d love to help.

Everything we hoped for and more
The ceremony itself was everything we had hoped for and more; it really came together perfectly and that’s mostly down to Stephanie's expert guidance. She gave us total freedom whilst helping us keep a structure that flowed beautifully. Everyone at the wedding said how special, how unique and meaningful the ceremony was. For many of our guests it was their first experience of a Humanist celebration and we have received countless compliments! Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.

She made our day so special
Stephanie was absolutely sensational from the first day. There’s something so lovely about being able to tell your Love Story during your ceremony, and Stephanie did such an amazing job! She made our day so special. She listened to our own little stories, and anecdotes from our friends and family and turned them into something beautiful. I highly recommend choose Silver Bee Ceremonies. It’ll be the best decision you make while planning your special day! 💕

Calm, kind, professional, effective and perfect
Stephanie was the best. She gets you thinking about all the right things prior to your big day. I was a little unsure about our actual ceremony prior to meeting Stephanie and after discussing it with her, it all fell into place. In addition there were nice touches and flourishes that made the day special. We were congratulated by all our friends and family on the loveliness of our ceremony. If we had to do it all again Stephanie would be top of our list.

Surprise Wedding!
Stephanie performed our wedding ceremony in August 2020 in our neighbours back garden, as we were coming out of lockdown, and was simply amazing. Not just on the day but throughout the process especially as we could only talk via video as opposed to in person. However Stephanie managed to create a wedding script that captured our personalities perfectly. The added challenge we posed Stephanie was that no one attending would know they were coming for a wedding! The whole ceremony was planned to take place in our neighbours garden with Stephanie waiting to carry out our service and she managed and coordinated a very excited, surprised and shocked congregation with ease. We cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough, it's a shame the star rating doesn't go higher than 5.

She was fantastic from start to finish.
Stephanie performed our wedding ceremony in early January 2020. She was fantastic from start to finish. We spent weeks trying to find the right celebrant and once we had spoken to Stephanie we knew she was the one for us. We met for an initial chat to talk about our relationship and how we wanted our ceremony to be. A couple of weeks later Stephanie returned a beautiful draft script which we then worked on together to get it just right – it was a really special process. On the day Stephanie was calm and organised and made sure everything ran without a hitch, having answered countless questions from us and readers along the way. It was a magical ceremony which brought a tear to everyone’s eye and so many of our guests commented on how personal it was – exactly what we’d wanted to achieve. We couldn’t recommend Stephanie more as a wedding celebrant – thank you for helping to make our day so special.

This was the icing on the cake!
We wanted to convey our thanks for such a touching and personal ceremony. I know that all of my friends loved the fact that they were part of it, and have even mentioned that they would do a similar ceremony now that they have seen first-hand a celebrant hand-fasting. The whole day was magical, and this was the icing on the cake.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Warm, friendly, professional, fun, calm

Describe your typical process with a couple.

A Zoom call is a great way to start, we'll have an initial chat and discuss some ideas for your ceremony and from this I'll send you an Outline Wedding Ceremony Plan free of charge. Following this we'll have a longer meeting and from here I'll draft your wedding ceremony script for us to edit together until you're completely happy with it.

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

Rehearsals are a great way to help settle everyone's nerves. If possible I try to arrange this for the day before your wedding, and we can go through timings for entrance music and your vows and ring exchange so everything will be just right on your special day. My couples often say I have a calming influence so my presence helps keeps stress levels down too!

What do you love most about your job?

Helping couples create a ceremony that just as they want it to be so their day gets off to the best start possible.

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

When I invite the couple to exchange their vows, especially if they've kept their words a surprise from their partner!
