After years spent planning other people's weddings, I now focus on the part I always loved most: the ceremony itself. I meet you, listen closely, and write your love story the way it actually happened, in English, Spanish, or both, with the warmth and the humour that's really yours.
Legal or symbolic, on a beach, in a finca courtyard, or in a town hall garden, the setting matters far less than the words. Years of working in weddings and events taught me the same lesson again and again: nobody remembers the paperwork. They remember the moment you both started crying, or the story about how you met that had the whole garden laughing. That's what I spend my time getting right.
This covers weddings of every shape, a first wedding, a vow renewal after years together, a quiet elopement for just the two of you, or a big family celebration with all the trimmings. If it's a chance to stand up and say your love out loud, I'd love to help write it.
Eighteen years in weddings and events means the ceremony was never the only part of the day I learned to run well. If you'd like an experienced pair of hands looking after the practical side too, not just the words at the centre of it, I also offer on-the-day coordination: keeping suppliers to schedule, managing timings, and being the calm point of contact so you and your family can actually be present, rather than fielding questions.
Most couples find it simplest to combine the two. I write and lead your ceremony, then stay on quietly through the rest of the day to keep everything moving as it should.
None of these are required, and I'm just as happy writing a ceremony with no ritual at all. However, if you'd like a moment with a bit of visual or symbolic weight, here are a few couples often ask for.
Two coloured sands, often representing each of you (or your families), poured together into one vessel, a simple, visual way to mark two lives becoming one.
Your hands bound together with ribbon or cord while vows are spoken, the origin of "tying the knot," and a lovely nod to Celtic tradition.
Earth, air, fire, and water each represented in turn, often through readings or small objects, a gentle way to bring nature into the vows themselves.
Two individual candles lighting one shared flame, simple, classic, and easy to include even in a small or short ceremony.
Letters to each other and a bottle of wine sealed away, opened on an anniversary, or if things ever get hard. A beautiful, private ritual within the public one.
Roses exchanged with each other, or given to parents and family, as thanks or as a promise. Flexible, warm, and easy to personalise.
Have something else in mind, a family tradition, a religious or cultural ritual, something you've seen and loved? Tell me about it and I'll help build it in.
If your guests don't share one language, the ceremony shouldn't either. I write bilingual ceremonies from the first draft, not translated word for word in the moment, so every guest, on every side, follows every word.
For mixed British and Spanish, Irish and Spanish, or entirely international guest lists, this is often the detail couples thank me for afterwards.
"She seamlessly conducted our ceremony in both English and Spanish, making all of our guests feel included and connected, while nicely adding in the humor we requested throughout."
