Hi, I'm Laura

Marriage is so much more than a wedding and I believe that it's imperative to start your marriage with a ceremony that celebrates you and your own unique love story. Something that you can share with your loved guests, but also reflect back on so that when you're sitting years down the line, you can be reminded of who you were in that moment of time, and that foundation upon which you built your lives together.

I work closely with couples to get to know them and create a ceremony that celebrates their relationship and commitment to each other, and tells their love story. Each ceremony is unique, authentic and deeply meaningful, just like your relationship. It reflects your personalities and interests, and can incorporate any personal elements you choose to make the day uniquely yours.

I was also lucky enough to plan weddings during a previous career, so you can bet I'll have a few tips up my sleeve both inside and outside the realms of the ceremony that I'm only too happy to share!

Laura!!!!!!!!! We are over the moon, you got it so perfect. A few tears last night reading this. You got us to a tee!

We absolutely loved having you as our celebrant and received so many comments that the ceremony you put together was one of the best, and most personal wedding celebrations our guests had ever been to!

The script is so unreal, we are crying! It is more amazing than I ever thought, you are brilliant at this!
