Hi, I'm Emma

I love meeting people and hearing their stories – I think that’s the psychologist in me! Your wedding ceremony is really important, it's the moment you go from being an engaged couple to being legally married and I think that part of your day deserves to be the best it can be. I adore getting to know my couples and working with them to deliver a memorable, meaningful and personal wedding ceremony. It's all about having your wedding, your way - making you both feel comfortable and confident. As an avid fiction and poetry reader, one of my favourite parts is finding a reading that completely sums up the couple or the sentiment they want to get across. I have amassed quite a collection and continue to do so! I also love dogs so any ceremony that features them is a bonus for me!

I would say my ceremony style is relaxed and fun with laughter and heart felt moments in equal measure. I've been told I'm a good story teller!

I call myself a realistic romantic. Sure, the big romantic gestures are nice, but love for me is all the little things that your other half does on a daily basis and the happiness of just being together, through all the ups and downs and loop de loops in this wonderful rollercoaster of life that we are all on.

So, if I sound like your cup of tea, please get in touch!

Everyone has said how lovely the ceremony was and how personal it was. You made it sooooo easy for us and we couldn't be more grateful!

— Jason and Rebecca

Can I just say how amazing you were yesterday. The whole day everyone was talking about the ceremony and how personalised it was and how good you were. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, you were amazing and you made our day amazing.

— Michael and Yvonne

All the guests were talking about how amazing you were and how great the service was the whole night.
