I never set out to deliver baby naming ceremonies. It just wasn’t really on my radar, devoting all my time instead to promote my wedding ceremony services.

what a privilege it turned out to be. From our first tentative chat on the phone, to email exchanges, zoom planning meetings, voice notes and texts, the whole process was utter joy.

Congratulations on embarking on this exciting journey towards planning your perfect wedding day.

If you are considering me as your wedding celebrant or have already booked me for your special day, you’ve probably already heard me mention my couples questionnaire. That’s because it's a huge part of my process; it forms the basic foundations of my script, it helps you to gather your thoughts ahead of writing your personal wedding vows and it helps me to get to know you and your love story better.

Put simply-my questionnaires are not just another to-do on your wedding checklist; they really are a valuable and insightful tool that can add a sprinkle of magic to your special day and make your ceremony completely bespoke.

In this blog post, I'll explore the reasons behind my personalised couple questionnaires and how they will contribute to curating your unique wedding celebration.

It’s an exciting prospect. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers that little bit extra, then look no further than the staggeringly beautiful Camblesforth Hall. This Grade 1 listed, Georgian home and wedding venue, in the heart of North Yorkshire, dates back to 1690. Hidden behind some beautiful gates in a little village outside of York, this stunning property has an air of historic elegance. You might say it sort of bridges the gap between more traditional and more modern wedding venues.

Handfasting can be traced back to ancient Celtic traditions, where couples would publicly declare their intention to marry by binding their hands together with ribbons or cords. This act symbolised their commitment, unity, and the joining of two families. Over the years, handfasting has evolved and adapted to different cultures and beliefs, and today it remains a cherished ceremony in many modern weddings.

Arriving by car on Sunday afternoon, we immediately wound down the windows to soak up the party-like atmosphere welcoming us from inside and outside the barn. Live music with a fabulous singer and saxophonist, a welcome glass of prosecco and fairy lights which adorned the lake and its sitting ducks, were a glorious sight. Not to sound too dramatic, but with the trees bursting with new leaves, spring flowers in full bloom and the sound of Paul Simon blasting from the speakers, it felt as if Yorkshire had been reborn!

I recently started reading Michelle O’bama’s book: The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times. As she states herself, it’s part self help (I am a sucker for a self help book) and part memoir (I devoured her first memoir Becoming, during lockdown) and I’m already hooked. Michelle offers words of wisdom and encouragement on daily struggles we will all encounter at some point and quite frankly, I’m keen to become her BFF.

Quite early on in the book, she talks about feeling nervous when embarking on a new adventure-she talks candidly about how she wanted to say no, when Barak asked if he could stand for president. In the early chapter she says:

‘There’s no getting around the fact that our nerves will ride shotgun with us pretty much any time we approach the unfamiliar, anytime we move into a new frontier and feel the stakes get bumped as a result…who doesn’t bring a spoonful of fear to the first day of a new job? … Or on a first date?’

She goes on to say: ‘These are moments of distinct discomfort…but they can be thrilling too.

Why? Because we don’t know what lies on the other side of that initial experience. The journey to get to it might just be transformative….How will you meet your soulmate if you don’t go on that date?

Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, but let’s be honest, it can also be one of the most stressful! With so many details to manage and emotions running high, it's easy to get overwhelmed and lose your sense of calm (word of advice-stay away from the mimosa’s before you walk down the aisle). However, with a little bit of planning and preparation, it is possible you can stay calm and relaxed on your wedding day.
