The Full
wedding
MONTY
I am here to go all out on your wedding with you.
I’ll guide you through writing your own vows, write a ceremony script that authentically captures your relationship, hold ceremonial space that means something to you - and tell your love story with all the panache I can muster.
“I've never been to a ceremony where the celebrant has been so invested.”
~ Guest at Emma & Aoife’s wedding
You are not reading this because getting married is 'just something you do'. You are here because you are choosing to get married in a particular way that will give your marriage the best possible foundation for success.
Writing your original wedding vows requires you to deeply engage with what you are doing and go the distance.
Interviewing you and those closest to you will help me construct a ceremonial script that tells your story truthfully.
There is great power in meaningful ritual. Ceremonial spaces can be transformational spaces if we dare to go there.
I wish to give you the most transformational, enriching and enjoyable wedding ceremony possible. It is my service to hold your wedding ceremony and tell your unique story in a way that speaks to the minds, hearts and spirits of everyone present.
“I cannot recommend Alex enough; she has guided me through two of the most impactful periods of my life, on both sides of the emotional spectrum. I am eternally grateful for the love, respect and understanding that Alex offered and her skill in curating the experience we could have only dreamt of. I honestly consider Alex to be part of my family.”
~ Chris
Full Wedding Ceremony Service - £1600
This is a process that is usually spread out over a long period of time and takes about 33 hours. The fee reflects the energy, skill and experience that I invest in writing your wedding ceremony.
If available for your wedding date, I offer a 20 minute video call for you to ask any questions and feel out my energy (the chemistry is all important).
If you wish to book me then I ask for a deposit (usually 30%) to secure my services. I will then send you an agreement that lays out our terms and payment plan, and starting scheduling dates for our consultations.
-
4 x 75 min consultation calls with you, the couple (with accompanying prep & homework). Your celebrant can be involved in this process.
Session One | biography & initial vows writing

“So many people came up to us afterwards with praise and admiration for such a unique and emotive experience and one couple has even reconsidered marriage after attending our wedding because of how good Alex was in making the day so personal and special.”
~ Michelle
"If you want your wedding to be more about a joining of two people, as equals, a humanist ceremony is a powerful way to do so. As your celebrant, you could not ask for anyone more intuitive and professional than Alex."
~ A & D
"Alex was a fantastic celebrant. Her planning helped give us new ideas, really envision the ceremony and stay true to humanist principles. The ceremony was everything we wanted; fun, informal and a true reflection of who we are as a couple. Cannot recommend Alex enough."
~ Liz
"Thank you once again for the amazing job you did of our wedding ceremony! Perfect doesn't begin to do it justice, and we can't imagine it having happened any other way."
~ Matt & Lauren
"You made the whole process so easy, relaxing and fun and we trusted that you would create a ceremony that was true to us as a couple and one that we would never forget - you totally achieved this. The effort you put in was amazing.
I really did love the whole process and I have to say that everyone kept commenting to us throughout the day about how brilliant you were, and how very unique, fun and perfect the beach setting was and the ceremony as a whole - so from the bottom of our hearts thank you! We couldn't have asked for better and our guests loved you. We didn't realise till now how lucky we were to find you as our Celebrant!"
