Weddings

Although I am not able to legally marry you I can provide a bespoke celebration of your union. Perhaps you want a wedding that reflects your favourite fandom; maybe you would like to formalise your relationship whatever form that takes. I will write and perform a ceremony that is as unique as you are.

Namings

Would you like a formal ceremony to welcome your child into the world but do not belong to a church? A naming ceremony can provide your child with Life Mentors and introduce them to their family and community.

Naming Days are not just for babies! You may have fostered or adopted an older child and wish to formally welcome them to your family. Perhaps you would like to celebrate the blending together of two families.

Maybe you are transitioning into your true self and would like a Naming Day to celebrate and to formally introduce who you are to those closest to you.

Other occasions

If you have an occasion that you would like to celebrate I will write and perform it for you. Renewal of vows, recovery from illness, opening a new business, even divorce, whatever you want. Just ask.

Script Writing

If you would like a private occasion with just your friends and family present but don’t know where to start, don’t worry, I can write the ceremony for you. I will provide you with a script unique to your celebration with easy to follow instructions. That way anyone of your choice can officiate for a more intimate feel.

Funerals

Funerals should reflect who the person really was, what they did and enjoyed. There is no reason not to have a celebration of someones life that is as bespoke and individual as any other ceremony.

handfasting

An ancient Celtic tradition, it was originally used to symbolise a betrothal, during which a druid priest would declare that the couple would be bound together. This engagement would last a year, as a sort of 'trial marriage'. In later times, it was used in a marriage ceremony, in lieu of the presence of a priest.

Ribbons or cords of different colours will be used to bind the hands together as a sign of the couple’s commitment to one another.

Handfasting can be used to signify many things not just marriage. It is popular with larping and cosplay communities as a way of celebrating the bonds between characters. Perhaps you are blending families and would like a way of strengthening your commitment. It can be a way of celebrating the joining of more than two people.

There are many different ways that a handfasting can be carried out. There is also no limit on what can be used to fasten the hands - if you met online you may like to choose computer cables, dogowners may use leads, whatever is important to you can become part of your special day.

I am willing and able to make any cords that you desire for your ceremony.
