Weddings, Renewal of Vows and Commitment Ceremonies

Wedding Ceremonies

Congratulations!

Well done on finding someone who thinks you are fab, and finding them fab too, and finding this page about Wedding Celebrants and what they offer.

Now as you decide between cakes and dresses, venues and dates, don’t forget the fundamentals: the actual ceremony!

Wedding Ceremony Details

 

Not sure what a Wedding Celebrant does? Go here and find out. Don’t worry, this page will be waiting when you get back.

Get the admin done, aka the legal part, at your local registry office and let us get chatting preferably over some sort of tea and cake.

There will be many questions, so I get to know you and your ceremony wishes. As soon as this is done, the writing begins.

Don’t worry about a thing as you check drafts of the ceremony along the way until we are all super pleased with it and can’t wait to share it with your family and friends.

My favourite bit is getting you two to give me secret info so I can help you write surprise vows for each other. That way, it isn’t just your guests that get the big ceremony reveal. You do too!

There are 3 main options for the ceremony, and each can be tweaked to your tastes. Prices for a Wedding Celebrant Ceremony start from £600.

Booking Sarah

Writing your ceremony is going to be great fun, but I can only get started once I have your ceremony details – especially the date – and your deposit so I can block out that day in my diary JUST FOR YOU.

Go on, Book Sarah. 

To book me for your Wedding Day and make sure that I am all yours that day, I need a £300 non-refundable deposit with an email detailing who’s getting wed, when and where, and your contact details – postal, phone, and email.
Once this has been received, I shall message you back and we can get to the serious planning and fabulous ceremony writing part.

Book Me

Have a peruse, then either use the Book Me button or MESSAGE ME HERE with your Wedding date, questions, and Wedding ceremony ideas. Don’t worry. I can help you if you are lost in choices.

 Vow Renewals

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.” And you have and that’s why you are still together – congratulations on a job well done!

Now, you have come to a point in your lives where you want to reaffirm your original wedding promises, maybe make them more fitting for how the two of you adventure through life together.

Couples often want a Vow Renewal Ceremony as an anniversary gift to themselves or after a challenging time. And what better way to celebrate and mark the occasion with the help of a Wedding Celebrant?

The Process

 

We will get together and I shall ask you many questions so I can get to know you as a couple, how you fit together, and what you want to emphasise in this ceremony that perhaps you didn’t get to focus on the first time around.

Then I scamper off to my writing den and get typing. You get to check the ceremony in its various draft forms until we are all very happy campers and the ceremony is finished.

Commitment Ceremonies 

For various reasons, people don’t want to or can’t get married but they are in a serious relationship that they would like to acknowledge. This is where a Commitment Ceremony comes in.

For example, maybe you feel you are too young or old for an actual wedding ceremony, but you are very much in love?

Maybe you are in a relationship with more than one person and are rocking the polyamorous flag? 

So, you have a Commitment Ceremony with a Wedding Celebrant and show the universe how committed you are to each other.

The Process

 

You get to share the love and show your nearest and dearest that this relationship is the real deal.

We meet up, share tea and cake, and you tell me how you got together and what you would like in your Commitment Ceremony.

I will, no doubt, ask a number of questions so I can understand how to shape your ceremony. Then I dash off and begin typing with earnest. From time to time you will check drafts of the ceremony to make sure you are happy bunnies. Once we are all happy, the ceremony is go!

Happy couples & families.

Wedding - Yew Tree Farm, Liverpool

Our celebrant, Sarah, was only able to speak to us via Zoom prior to conducting our wedding ceremony as we were still under covid restrictions at the time. Despite this, she was able to put together a 30-minute ceremony that perfectly reflected our relationship history. She conducted the ceremony with humour but was also sincere in her delivery. Sarah also produced an attractive certificate to commemorate our event.

All in all, the ceremony was of the perfect length and content. I would heartily recommend Sarah as a celebrant.

Wedding - The Cloisters, Bolton

Sarah at Moments To… was a brilliant celebrant for our wedding in early August 2021. We had to change our plans due to the pandemic and my husband was initially hesitant about a celebrant wedding.
We had our legal ceremony before our celebrant ceremony, and we are so glad we decided to use a celebrant. The legal ceremony was so impersonal and seemed rushed compared to the celebrant wedding.
Sarah was fantastic, she answered all our questions and took our story and made it into a wonderful celebration of our love including all the wedding bits. She incorporated our likes and hobbies, making the whole experience fun and light-hearted, which is just what we were looking for. Sarah was open to suggestions and was great at helping us find the right words to say.
We had so many comments about how brilliant Sarah and the ceremony were, from how engaging and personal it was, to how fun and completely unique.

Sarah is such a friendly person we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant for our wedding!

Wedding - Holmes Mill, Clitheroe

I honestly couldn’t ask for a better person to help guide us through this process. Sarah made our whole ceremony so personal not knowing how a celebrant lead wedding looked or how it went, she really took the time to get to know us as a couple on a personal level and that really shone through her lovely words on our big day!

Thank you so much Sarah x

Wedding - Llandegla Forest, Wales

Having a celebrant led wedding allowed us to have a tailored ceremony for both our personalities. Sarah worked with us as a couple on the ceremony and individually on a set of vows that reflected exactly how we feel about each other but in our own individual ways. Our vows were a surprise to each other on the day.

Sarah was approachable from the start and instantly understood where we were coming from. It was like Sarah took our thoughts and turned them into words in ways we couldn’t have done ourselves and we wouldn’t change a thing.

Sarah was supportive throughout and on the day was a calming influence. Thank you for helping make our big day so special!

Naming Ceremony - Leeds

We couldn’t have been happier with the service that Sarah provided. Sarah tailored it beautifully to make it personal and able to reflect our family’s personality. She’s so kind and calm which is perfect in the midst of the panic that comes with organizing any event. The ceremony went perfectly, and everyone commented on how wonderful Sarah was.

Thank you for making our day so special.

Vow Renewal - St Helens, Merseyside

Sarah from the start was friendly, meeting with us a couple of times to understand us as a couple to be able to write our ceremony, and gave us the chance to change anything we were not happy with.

On the day Sarah was lovely, she came to see how we were and talked us through what was to happen.

Our ceremony itself which she had written was absolutely perfect, we couldn’t have asked for anything better, and we have a treasured copy she gave us to keep.

I would 100% wholeheartedly recommend Sarah.

Wedding - Knowsley Hall, Merseyside

 

We found Sarah by chance and immediately appreciated her self-description and values. Sarah was so easy going yet attentive to detail and supported us from start to finish. Considering all the preparation was done at a distance and our wedding was postponed over two years due to the pandemic, we really appreciated Sarah’s patience and availability. The ceremony she wrote for us perfectly summed up what we are about. On the day all our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it through laughter and tears. We chose to include a sand ceremony too which Sarah organised and took us and our children through. As a bride I appreciated especially the tissues she had on hand for me!

We can’t recommend Sarah enough and are very grateful to her for making our day so special.

My partner and I got warm vibes from Sarah’s profile and decided to hire her for our big day.

At first, we weren’t really sure how we wanted the ceremony to go or what content to include. Sarah had a brief introductory call with both of us and was immediately firing out ideas. Afterwards, she asked us to fill in some questionnaires (one together and one separately). Once completed, we had another more in-depth meeting to discuss our responses.

Using these raw materials as a guide, Sarah crafted a beautiful, contemporary, personalised ceremony for us. She wrote this up and delivered it in advance of the wedding, with plenty of time for reviewing and suggesting amendments.

On the big day, Sarah arrived in good time, and was immediately a calming influence on me – the slightly nervous groom. There was no need to be nervous though as the ceremony went perfectly!

Afterwards, we received so many positive comments about the day, and the ceremony in particular. It was described as ‘modern’ and ‘refreshing’. My cousin – soon to be married herself – even declared she wanted her ceremony to be exactly like ours.

Overall, my partner and I couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Sarah. We found exactly the right person for such a significant and memorable day.

Thank you Sarah!

After deciding that we wanted to renew our vows, trawling the Internet to find out how we did that, we came across Sarah’s website. Sarah was so helpful and supportive. Sarah responds to emails quickly and answered all questions we had. We met up with Sarah and had a lovely chat filling her in on all our past 10 years of marriage so she was able to put together the best service and ceremony that was so moving and light-hearted, just what we wanted. Sarah support led us to write our own vows (I didn’t know where to start) I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is thinking of renewing vows, or any other service that she provides. I can safely say that you’re in good hands!

Thank you Sarah, you made our renewal so special ❤️
