Meeting with a happy couple to plan their wedding ceremony is such a meaningful and joyful part of being a celebrant. It’s a time to listen, connect, and learn about their unique journey together. From the moment I sit down, the conversation is about them—their story, their vision, and the elements that will make their ceremony truly unforgettable.
We begin by exploring the different options they might want to include, such as symbolic rituals like handfasting, wine ceremonies, sand blending, or lighting a unity candle. Each element has its own beautiful significance, and I guide them in choosing the ones that resonate most with their love story and values.
One of my favorite parts of this process is hearing how they met and the story of their courtship. Every couple’s journey is special, and these personal details add so much richness to their ceremony. I encourage them to write their own story—their memories, milestones, and the moments that define their love. Once it’s written, I share this with them before the big day to ensure it feels perfect and authentic to their journey. This collaboration is so rewarding, as it allows their voices to shine through every word.
