Hi, I'm Brigid

Weddings mark the start of a joyous new chapter for a couple as they make their vows in front of family and friends – or maybe not if they opt for an elopement! I love to help couples plan their special day and then write and deliver a ceremony that uniquely fitting for them.

My ceremonies

Are warm, flexible and unique – written with and for you

Are inclusive, dignified and honest

May include music, ritual and readings if you wish (I can advise)

Can be held wherever you wish

Are all about you as a couple and celebrate your love story and your values.

Contact me for an initial, no obligation chat to see if I’m the right person for you.

If you decide that I am, then I will work with you both to craft a beautiful ceremony that is entirely personal to you. It can include any of the following: your story, what marriage means to you, any symbolic acts you would like, exchange of rings, readings and so on. It can involve your family and friends, even your pets!

I will support you all the way in your marriage journey.

On the big day I will deliver the ceremony and give you a paper and an electronic copy of the script to keep as a memento of your special day.

More about me

Living near the Gower Peninsula with its stunning scenery, I make the most of the great outdoors. I am a keen walker and I help with the annual Gower Walking Festival. I love my garden and volunteer regularly in Swansea's beautiful and historic Singleton Park. I love to read, cook, and go to the cinema.

Brigid has been fantastic in the planning and delivery of our wedding. Caring, extremely patient and supportive throughout. She gave both of us the best day in keeping with our secular beliefs and values. Thank you, Brigid, for everything!

Thank you so much. We had the best day ever, so many people said was a fab ceremony & day. Thank you.
