The Ceremony Company Full Description
I set up The Ceremony Company in 2013, having previously worked as a Local Government Registrar and Celebrant for 9 years. I believe couples and families should have a choice of ceremony for their special day. Having listened to what is important to couples during my 9 years with Registration Services - these are the things which they wanted - meeting and choosing their celebrant, having a rehearsal, including their choice of vows, promises, music and readings with no restrictions. Including their story, hopes, beliefs, religion, traditions, personality and humour. As most couples work and can't make midweek 9-5 appointments - so the Ceremony Company was created to include all the above. Whether you live here in the UK or abroad we arrange a mutually convenient date and time to meet you, either face to face or via video call, it is important to listen to all your ideas and to see if we are the right fit for your special day. If you then wish to book, we ask for a deposit to secure your date and celebrant, then we guide you through the process making sure you have a relaxed and memorable day. What is important to you is important to us. Your ceremony can have any content whether it remain traditional or be something different like a Handfasting, Memory Box, Unity Candle, Sand, Flower Bouquet, Blessing style ceremony. We never take a booking without having met you - we encourage you to share all your ideas for your big day. We never say anything which has not been agreed. We arrive in person up to an hour before your ceremony, your ceremony can be held on any date anywhere in the UK (indoors or outdoors) and at any time. We only book one ceremony per celebrant - so if there are any unforeseen time changes these can be easily accommodated. We present you with a keepsake commemorative certificate which can be signed as part of your day. Please get in touch to arrange a free no obligation meeting.

Ceremony was amazing
Hiya Cate. Thank you so much for our ceremony x it was amazing. Everybody loved the ceremony. And it set us up for an amazing day and night. Everybody danced their arses off and had a great time. The honeymoon in Tenerife was fantastic, and I managed to slip a note to the cabin crew, and at 35,000ft we got a mention from the captain of the flight xx Thank you again. Phil and Tracy xxx

Wonderful Ceremony
Heather, We honestly can't thank you enough for presenting our wonderful ceremony! Every single guest commented on how personal it was and how much they enjoyed it. I have recommended the way we did it to everyone! It took so much pressure off! Which meant we could truly appreciate our day! I wish you all the best of luck! And I really hope this option becomes more popular than ever. You made it all about us instead of the scary legal, serious stuff! We're so glad we found you! Good luck! Mr & Mrs Brookes

She is made for this!
Within seconds of meeting Louise, she had us feeling so comfortable with her and planning our wedding ceremony. I'm American, and my husband Liam is English so we wanted to mash our traditions together. Louise was so interested in hearing us both out and making our dream day perfect. We are a few weeks past our wedding and we are still getting compliments about her and the ceremony she designed. Some of our family members feedback was how warm and inviting she was from the moment you entered the room through the ceremony. She came to our rehearsal night and took it completely off my hands, organizing everyone and taking on all the stress which was amazing the night before our big day! I would recommend her to anyone, for any kind of ceremony, she's made for this!

You made our day!
Dear Louise It is difficult to express our feelings of gratitude - you came into our lives at a significant moment and turned a situation around. This is small token of our appreciation but comes with heartfelt thanks. You have quite literally, made our day and we wish you continued success in this business that you are quite clearly made for! Love & Best Wishes Sue & Martin x

Friendly & Professional
We hired The ceremony company for our wedding in August. Heather was friendly and professional throughout. She got to know us and our preferences for the day very quickly. She created and delivered a personal and unique ceremony which many of our guests commented on. Heather was always happy to accommodate requests and answer any questions even at the last minute. Cannot recommend highly enough.

They are all very memorable. I am very lucky!

What about your business are you most proud of?

All of it - we are a great service.

Remember your wedding day is about you two, keep to budgets, most importantly keep everything fun.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

When couples create personal promises and keep them a surprise from each other. I love this!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Always respond to enquiries quickly and set out clearly the process, arrange a free no obligation meeting whether it is in person or via video call, then if the couple wish to proceed a deposit confirms their booking and a first draft ceremony is sent. This is then a work in progress until a final draft is agreed upon. A rehearsal or meeting during the week before the wedding ceremony. On the day, we arrive up to an hour before their chosen time, so that they have a relaxed, enjoyable, fun and memorable experience.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?

A ceremony which included a flower bouquet being made by guests bringing flowers forward and then the maid of honour creating a bouquet which was handed to the bride. It was lovely as I described the meaning of each flower being presented. It was an awesome and unique idea.

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

Being there to answer any queries the couple may have, from enquiry until their special day, we explain all the processes therefore expectations are met, a rehearsal or a meeting always helps with any last minute nerves. We arrive at the couples chosen place/venue in plenty of time, making sure the couple are relaxed, we never rush our couples on their special day.

What do you love most about your job?

I love everything about what I do.

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

When the bride or groom makes their entrance and it is the first time their partner sees them, this always gives me goosebumps.
