⚡️C O B Y & S A M⚡️

Getting to know this pair was a dream - they bonded over food, are obsessed with Tiramisu and get super excited and ‘goofy’ - so I knew we’d get on well… 😍

Their big day didn’t disappoint. The heavens opened after the recent heatwave, but fortunately is as gorgeous inside as out, and helped by the amazing blooms from & live music from there was the most wonderful atmosphere.

During their ceremony we had belly laughs, happy tears, spontaneous clapping from guests 🤣 and their personal vows made sure there wasn’t a dry eye!

Afterwards the guests got to enjoy the talents of before the party really got started 🍾🎉

Thanks so much for having me, Mr & Mrs F - I had a ball! And so fab to work with & - can’t wait to see the pics and video! ❤️

🧚‍♂️ Della & Tom🧚‍♂️

Today I had the privilege of leading the lovely Della & Tom’s wedding ceremony in the heart of Sedbergh.

Many of my couples are choosing to move away from traditional venues to do things their way - and when Della said they were looking to hire a big house for their friends to stay in for the weekend and planned a ceremony on the lawn with a pizza van stopping by, I knew it was going to be my kind of wedding! 😍

And, well, it definitely didn’t disappoint ! There was such a relaxed, intimate feel with plenty of excitement from the 20 of their closest family and friends.

The beauty of a celebrant ceremony is it can reflect exactly who you are and can contain whatever you want - so D & T chose to incorporate three readings, one spiritual, one from the bible, and the groom read some very appropriate Shakespeare for good measure! 📖

During the ceremony they read heartfelt personal vows to one another, there were big belly laughs along with the odd tear as I told the story of how they fell in love, and they decided to conclude their ceremony with a handfasting and certificate signing, so they have momentos to keep forever.

DIY weddings are amongst my absolute faves - there’s so much personality and love poured into every detail. Our lovely bride Della worked her socks off making her own beautiful handmade fairy gardens as table decorations - and she even surprised me by gifting me my own as a thank you 🥹

On days like today I have to remind myself that this is an actual job. I bloody love it!

Thank you for choosing me guys! And fab to work with the lovely - can’t wait to see the pics ❤️

✨Erin & Mick left the wide skies of Texas behind to tie the knot in the most idyllic lakeside location beneath the Keswick hills ✨

So many of their family flew over from around the world to join them for their big day - which felt even more special thanks to stunning blooms from framing the beautiful gazebo and incredible music from .strings setting the tone for the proceedings (you can listen to them throughout this reel - they were an absolute treat!) 😍🎵

During E & M’s ceremony we told the story of how they first met (as colleagues…first impressions weren’t great, but thankfully got better!) and how they’ve built a life of adventure and laughter with their blended families both in Newcastle & the United States.

It was so brilliant to be a part of their story - and to work with again, along with a wider team of fab suppliers!

Thanks so much for having me, Mr & Mrs Austin 🎉 ###

✨Anna & Christian✨

When they first contacted me and said they hoped to hike up a hill after their legal ceremony to read their vows and exchange rings in the heart of the Lake District, I knew they were my kind of people!

We planned for all sorts of weather-related scenarios, but a heatwave was not on our bingo card! ☀️🤣

It was scorchio but I’ve never seen Gummers How or Lake Windermere look so beautiful (or so inviting). I can’t wait to see the professional pics, .photo ❤️

After a gentle walk up, we had a ceremony which shared their story, they read personal vows to each other, then their gorgeous Golden Retriever expertly delivered their rings 😍

It was rounded off by a glass of bubbly and photos, before they headed back to their posh home for the week for cocktails and some good food! Bloody perfect if you ask me.

Thanks so much for choosing me as your celebrant & . I loved it! ☀️ ###x

✨ Amy & Chris ✨

Boy did the sun shine for this pair on Friday! 🥰

Their big day was arranged on their family farm and my GOD was it gorgeous! Having their animals - and particularly their horses - surrounding us when they were saying their vows took us back to when they first met in those stables almost 10 years ago….

During the ceremony I told their story that involved a lot of laughs, horse shows, drunken antics - and the proceedings culminated with a shot of Jagermeister in honour of their horse baby ‘Jagerbomb’, named after their favourite drink! (You should have seen the guests’ faces after swigging….I can’t wait to see the professional pics! 🤣📷 )

After the bride’s best friend played the piano as she walked down the aisle, we had a wonderful reading, heard surprise personal vows and invited their mums to help them sign a certificate, before the jäger shot got everyone in the mood for the party afterwards!

I love all my weddings but I DEFINITELY could have stayed and partied all night… The vibe was epic! 🥂

Thanks so much for having me & - and big love to the amazing, professional suppliers I worked alongside who made my job so easy and enjoyable ❤️

✨Clare & Luke ✨

What a day at the gorgeous for this lovely pair!

Clare worked so hard on all the homemade decor and even made their beautiful handfasting chord which we used to conclude their ceremony, after they exchanged personal vows that made everyone cry (!), had two family members share readings that reflected their deep love for one other and for nature, and had their rings ‘delivered’ by their gorgeous Astrid 🐾

The rain showers held off long enough for us to be on the lawn under Lancrigg’s iconic tree with the dramatic backdrop of the Lake District hills behind us. It was perfect, and the odd gust of wind gave Clare’s dress the extra WOW factor 😍

Congratulations both and thank you for choosing me to be your celebrant ###x

So lovely working with such a fab team too:

✨Clare & Russell ✨

Today was spent lapping up the views with this lovely pair during their intimate elopement ceremony .

This couple deserve the world, so I was so thrilled they got the weather they wanted so we could be outside overlooking gorgeous Windermere for their ceremony.

Together we reflected on everything they’ve been through, all their dreams for the future and some funny (but true) readings that spell out the reality of marriage…!

They chose to incorporate a unity candle; we had a surprise air show with several of the lowest flying aircraft I’ve seen (!)…and they signed a certificate before sealing things with a kiss and a good G&T! 🥂

Bloody love my job! ❤️ thanks for having me & can’t wait to see the photographs from lovely 📷
