Wedding Ceremonies
Your wedding ceremony should be as unique as your love story. I specialise in crafting bespoke, compassionate ceremonies that reflect your values, personalities, and connection. Whether you envision a minimalist editorial vibe or a serene, natural celebration in the West Country countryside, I am here to help you weave love, humour, and heartfelt connections into a personal experience that you and your guests will cherish forever.
All legal formalities must be completed through the registration services. Currently, civil celebrants cannot legally marry couples. However, a wedding or a civil partnership ceremony can be held to personalise and reflect your love story and future plans together.
We can discuss ideas to include special ceremony elements. Ideas can include handfasting, jumping the broom, first kiss/last kiss with the Mums, ring warming - and many others. Let's discuss how to make your day unique and memorable!
Vow Renewal
A vow renewal is a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the journey you have shared and the strength of your enduring connection. Whether you are marking a significant anniversary or simply wish to reaffirm your commitment in a new season of life, I help you create a ceremony that honors your history and your future together.
I am also a fully qualified florist, having trained in wedding, event and funeral floristry with the British Academy of Floral Art. Some of my floristry work is on this page and more information is available at Caroline Rowe Floral Design.
Used to working with couples to bring your vision of your special day life, I work with other fantastic florists and wedding suppliers too, so love to chat all things wedding!
