Our ceremony co-ordinators will be on hand to help you to select your ceremony choices and any extras. From flowers and photography to wedding cars, we can help you to organise it all. Sparkling lanterns, a personalised table decoration and dressed chairs are just a few of the options you can choose for your tailor-made ceremony.
When all the decisions are made, your personalised ceremony script will be produced. We will send you a copy so you can check it through and retain as a keepsake.
Our ceremony co-ordinator will run through the ceremony with you so that you know exactly what to expect on the big day. She will talk you through the process step by step.
You can book a ceremony rehearsal and have a trial run. There is a fee to pay for this additional service.
Include family and friends in the ceremony by adding a reading or two. A short poem or piece of prose read by a close friend or family member is just another way of making your ceremony personal to you.
You can even pen your own poem!
Music plays an important part for most couples. We offer a choice of ten playlists to enhance your ceremony, however with a tailor-made ceremony you have the option to add a personalised playlist. Select this option and we will create your own ceremony playlist with songs and music selected by you. The choice is yours!
Adding a sand ceremony to your celebration is another way of making the event unique and personal to you.
It forms an integral part of your ceremony and creates a unique keepsake for you to take away and cherish. The gradual blending of the coloured sands symbolises the blending of two individual lives into one couple as time goes on.
An additional fee is payable for a sand ceremony.
