“Bespoke ceremonies for modern times”
Hello and welcome.
You are here because you want a ceremony that is special and memorable. I can help you set the right tone of the ceremony, choose the right words to say, and deliver them with the right amount of humour, gravitas and eloquence. I can deliver a ceremony that recognises the importance of you being happy and fulfilled on your special day, and that recognises the importance of ritual to the wider community and the attendees.
My offer is to guarantee that whatever ceremony is planned, the preparation will be rigorous and comprehensive. The writing will be of a high quality, and the day will run smoothly in a relaxed manner. I will be available at all times through the process via email, and from our meetings will guarantee a full understanding of the wishes of your wishes. When we agree, we can do whatever we want.

“Smiles, Cries and Laughter” The Marriage of Thinh and Claire
“We spent ages looking for the right person to marry us and we were so happy we chose Bernie! Right from the off Bernie took the time to find out what our ideas and hopes were for the ceremony. He was able to tailor the whole ceremony to our expectations while delivering it in a humourous and moving way. Fond memories of smiles, cries and laughter!”

The Marriage of Liz and Mark
Bernie, our celebrant, brought humour, light-heartedness and deep understanding of love to our wedding. With his great public speaking skills, wonderful voice, and outgoing personality, he delivered our ceremony with elegance, style and beauty. Bernie was exceptionally well-organised and truly understood the significance of our event, making our wedding day incredibly special.
We are both deeply grateful to Bernie and highly recommend him.
Lot’s of love, Liz and Mark
