Renew

Your Vows

Re-affirm your commitment to each other. Celebrate an anniversary or a new chapter in your lives together. Be thankful for having come through a tough time.

“ Thank you SO much for everything on the day, it was absolutely perfect and we cannot thank you enough. I lost count of the amount of guests that said it was the best ceremony they had ever attended! “ L

Don’t want a Traditional Ceremony?

If what you want is to affirm your relationship sitting on horseback, or in a rowing boat, or wearing a wetsuit, or in a cottage by the sea dressed as Star Wars characters, you can. From gardens to beaches, meadows and niche spaces- we’ve got you covered! Photo- evedunlopphotgraphy.co.uk

“ We wanted to say thank you for a wonderful ceremony, you hit just the right note with your lovely words, tone and approach. Your calming presence on the day made all the difference and helped A and I convey what we wanted with our vows. So many guests commented on the ceremony-especially tying the knot and how special and unique it felt, which is all down to your imagination and great judgment. Thank you again for being a special part of our big day “

Elopements.

Intimate and so, so romantic. Just the two of you and that’s just how it should be. There’s no fuss and no big dramas, just joy and emotion. You can of course rely on our complete discretion to not breathe a word…….

Handfasting.

The ancient Celtic ceremony of Handfasting has been practised by couples for over a thousand years. Rich in romance, it symbolises the binding of two lives. You can choose to have a Handfasting at anytime, perhaps for an Engagement or Renewal of Vows or include it in your Wedding ceremony.

“We decided to renew our wedding vows at short notice, however it didn’t mean we felt the service we received was rushed. Charmian communicated with us via email and phone in the lead up to the day continuously until we were completely satisfied. It was such a lovely day and Charmian made it just perfect. It felt nothing was too much of an effort.

Thank you for everything. See you again for our 20 year anniversary!”
