Renewal of Vows

The Ceremony
There are lots of reasons why you might want to have a ceremony to renew or celebrate the union with your partner. An anniversary, a life-changing event, or as an opportunity to have a party and tell everyone how much you love each other.  Whatever the reason, it is a chance to create a ceremony that is about your journey together, your life, and sharing your memories and love with your family and friends.

Working together
I'll work with you to help you tell your story, celebrate being together, and come up with ideas to make the event unique and personal, as well as participative if you want to involve others who play a special role in your lives.

Fees
My standard fee is £450 for a renewal of vows ceremony. We would agree any further fees when we meet, to ensure they reflect the work and time required. The fee is payable in instalments.  Included in the standard £450 fee would be: 

Initial meeting (1 hour) - to start to explore ideas, get to know each other and share key information, with the chance for both of us to ask lots of questions.Ongoing contact (by phone, email or online) so that I can help and guide you through the process of planning the ceremony and agreeing details.

The script - I will send you a draft of your story, script, and agreed vows and readings or poems so that you can check it and so that we can agree a final version. This may take a few revisions which is absolutely normal.

Ceremony (30 minutes) - I will arrive at your venue 30 minutes or so before the ceremony to check arrangements and help ensure everyone involved in speaking or with the ceremony is at ease. The ceremony itself will last about 30 minutes. I would stay until after the ceremony and hopefully get chance to take a few nice photos of you both before saying goodbye and leaving you to enjoy the rest of the event.

And after the ceremony......I'll send you a lasting keepsake of your ceremony in the form of a personalised folder containing a copy of your ceremony certificate, scripts, story, readings or poems, with a little treat to enjoy as you look through it!

Additional fees - are payable if we agree that I will provide additional services or items for the ceremony such as candles, witness book, ribbons, or other items. We can agree these as we develop the ceremony together. 

Travel & Accommodation - if you live more than 25 miles or your venue is more than 25 miles from my address, there will be an additional fee agreed. If an overnight stay is required for the ceremony, this will be agreed with you and recharged (together with the above travel costs) to you, after the ceremony.
