All Your Love - Wedding Celebrant Claire Vickery | Berkshire & UK-wide
🏆 Hitched Wedding Awards 2026 Winner
✨ The ceremony you and your guests are still smiling about, years later.
Hi. I’m Claire Vickery - a professionally trained, qualified and award-winning Berkshire wedding celebrant creating completely bespoke, celebrant-led wedding ceremonies across Berkshire, Oxfordshire and the UK.
Couples choose me when they want a ceremony that feels meaningful, relaxed and genuinely personal - not something lifted from a standard script.
Whether you’re planning an outdoor wedding ceremony, a barn celebration, an elegant country house gathering, a village hall reception or something entirely your own - I’ll help you shape a ceremony that fits the setting and, most importantly, fits you.
🖋️ Completely original scripts
Every ceremony is written from scratch after in-depth conversations with you both. No templates. No recycled lines. Just your story, thoughtfully woven into something that flows naturally and feels effortless on the day.
💛 A safe pair of hands
From our first chat to the moment you walk back down the aisle, I guide you clearly through the process. We shape the structure, timings and tone together so you feel confident, calm and completely prepared. On the day, I’m the reassuring presence who keeps everything steady, warm and seamless.
🌿 Freedom to do it your way
With a celebrant-led wedding ceremony, you’re not restricted by licensed venues or rigid formats. Indoors or outdoors. Symbolic rituals, cultural elements, pets, surprises - it’s your ceremony.
🌍 Inclusive and welcoming
All love is celebrated here. I work with couples of all genders, backgrounds and beliefs, and I’m always happy to include meaningful family or cultural elements.

Woodland Ceremony
From our very first conversations, Claire completely understood that we
didn’t want a conventional ceremony. We wanted something joyful,
relaxed, meaningful, a little bit magical and completely personal to us -
and that is exactly what she created.
The ceremony began in the woods before moving out into the field, and
Claire brought together the bagpipes, handfasting, our daughters,
readings from friends, confetti and a final Circle of Love with more than
140 guests. It was ambitious, but it never felt over-complicated.
Everything flowed beautifully and everyone involved knew exactly what
they needed to do.
Claire had briefed our friends, family and other suppliers so thoroughly
beforehand that nobody felt flustered or unsure. It meant we could
simply enjoy the ceremony, knowing she had everything under control.
She also balanced our very different personalities perfectly. I was happy
to be at the centre of everything, while Mark wanted a quieter
experience. Neither of us had to become somebody we weren’t, and
both our roles still felt equally meaningful.
Our daughters and so many of the people we love were given genuine,
important parts to play, which made the ceremony feel even more
special.
Guests kept telling us they had never seen anything like it - that it was
beautiful, memorable and completely “us”. Claire turned a collection of
ideas into an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. We
could not recommend her more highly.

Unforgettable, unique and full of love - even our dog had a starring role!
From the moment we met Claire, she just got us. We wanted a small, personalised ceremony that was full of warmth, laughter and heart - and she delivered it perfectly. She guided us through everything with calm, humour and so much care.
Our wedding took place in a stunning field surrounded by nature in rural West Berkshire, and Claire used the setting so beautifully in the ceremony itself. She even helped us plan a wet-weather Plan B (which, thankfully, we didn’t need!).
Claire came up with the brilliant idea of adding an Irish twist for my wife’s family - ‘locking the door behind the groom’ - which we recreated in the middle of the field with a set of double doors and used at the start of the ceremony for a quiet blessing with our parents. Everyone loved it.
We also had our dog, Atlas, as the Ring Bearer, and a handfasting where our family and friends helped to tie the knot - literally. Before that, Claire invited everyone to take part in a ‘cord warming’, passing the ribbons down each row so every guest could hold them and make a warm wish of love for our future. It was incredibly moving and set the tone for the whole ceremony.
The whole day was relaxed, emotional and exactly what we wanted. My mum and every single guest commented on how amazing the ceremony was. It was small, personal and stress-free - a day we’ll never forget. Even the photographer said he’d never witnessed such a unique and beautiful ceremony.
Claire is fantastic at what she does - she has this gift for turning ideas into moments that feel effortless and completely yours.

Simply the best
Claire wrote the most beautiful and personal vow renewal ceremony. It was full of love, laughter and sentiment. Claire just got us and understand who we were as a couple instantly. She is so friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble. On the day Claire was amazing and everything ran smoothly. We had so many compliments on the ceremony and Claire as a celebrant.
If you are looking for a celebrant look no further as Claire really is your lady for the job. We can’t thank her enough.
Claire - Thank you for everything. Still on a high now. You are flipping amazing xx

A rock ’n’ roll LOVE story like no other - the ceremony of our dreams!🤘💛
Our sweetest, amazing Claire - what an unforgettable day! The ceremony was absolutely perfect, hilarious, heartfelt and completely us. We still cry (happy tears!) thinking about it.
To anyone thinking about booking Claire to create your wedding ceremony - do it!
From the very first chat about our plans she understood exactly what we wanted and what mattered most. She created a wedding that was both fun and deeply emotional, blending our love of rock ’n’ roll with moments that had everyone - even the toughest leather-and-stud-clad rockers - wiping away tears behind their designer sunglasses.
The wedding started with us both - separately - walking down the aisle to our own theme tunes and that set the tone for the rest of the ceremony.
Our wedding took place at a local venue without a marriage licence, which gave us complete freedom to design the ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Claire wrote and delivered the most incredible Love Story that had our guests laughing out loud one minute and reaching for tissues the next. And the Cocktail Mixing Ceremony she dreamed up was pure genius - resulting in our very own 'Lady Annica & Sir David' Cocktail. Guests still talk about it!
Everyone said it was the most original and entertaining ceremony they’d ever been to, yet still full of heart, humour and love. In fact, one guest was so blown away that she later booked Claire for her own daughter’s wedding - saying no one else could possibly do a better job.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who will make your wedding unforgettable - one who listens, gets your vibe and brings your story to life - Claire’s your woman. She made our day the BEST, and we’ll never stop recommending her.

Unforgettable, heartfelt and full of love – a ceremony that had everyone laughing and crying
We wanted a ceremony that was personal, heartfelt and a true reflection of our story – and Claire delivered that and so much more. From our very first conversation she understood exactly what we wanted and guided us through every detail with warmth, humour and care.
Our wedding took place in the beautiful Temple of Peace in Cardiff, straight after our small legal ceremony, and Claire made the transition into our full celebration seamless. Every guest felt part of the day. She included a ring warming so everyone could hold our rings and pass on their love and blessings while she told our Love Story – a story that had the entire room laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next.
Claire also came up with a wonderful way to honour loved ones we’ve lost, inviting us to light a candle quietly at the beginning and giving their photos pride of place so they could “watch” the ceremony with us. My sister read a Welsh poem, and both my husband and I walked down the aisle to our own music – it truly felt like our ceremony belonged to us and our families.
So many guests said it was the most moving, personal and unique wedding they’d ever attended. It was everything we hoped for and more: beautiful, emotional, funny and full of love.
We can’t thank Claire enough for helping us create a ceremony that will stay with us forever.

A wedding that we - and our guests - will never forget!
Claire came very highly recommended and certainly did not disappoint! Claire exceeded every dream and expectation and helped us to create the most beautiful, perfect, personalised wedding ceremony. Guests have since told us that "It was the best wedding they had ever been to". We had the ceremony filmed and have watched it many times already, still laughing and crying throughout.
Having sadly lost my Dad - I wanted to honour him in a special, memorable way. But no sadness ... just joy. We had a cocktail-making mini ceremony, a strong drink to help us calm the nerves and a moment to remember Dad with some very warm words from Claire.
Our ceremony also included a wedding time capsule, promise ring/jewellery for my children, a heartfelt Love Story written by Claire, handfasting/tying the knot .. and hidden wedding rings and a very special secret ring-bearer.
You wouldn't fine this kind of EXCEPTIONAL anywhere else. Claire is unique and magnificent & will hold a special place in our hearts, forever!

Our Love Story was told with so much care
From the very start, we told Claire we wanted a ceremony that felt adventurous, full of humour and love (and beer!), and completely personal to us. She absolutely delivered. Our Love Story was told with so much care – from the light-hearted moments (Hello, Wetherspoons) that made everyone laugh to the words that had us both in tears, it was everything we’d hoped for and more. The handfasting ribbons, our loved ones' surprise at being invited to step up to place them, and the closing 'summit' moment under the willow tree with confetti flying made it unforgettable. Guests told us they’d never experienced a ceremony so personal, heartfelt and fun. Claire struck the perfect balance – laughter, happy tears, and words about our relationship that felt exactly right. Right after the ceremony I told Claire, "I always knew it was going to be good - I had no idea it could have been that good!". We’ll always treasure the memories of that day, and we’re so grateful to Claire for giving us a ceremony that felt like ours and ours alone.

Absolutely amazing ❤️
If you’re looking for an officiant who can gracefully steer a ship through beautiful, hilarious madness – look no further than Claire. She pulled together our full ceremony in just 11 days (her record, apparently!) and made it look like it took months. Claire was not just our officiant; she was the calm in the storm, the glue holding it all together, and honestly, the MVP of our wonderfully chaotic wedding day. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to get to know us, understand our story, and somehow translated our barely-organised thoughts into a ceremony that was heartfelt, hilarious, and 100% us. The handfasting under the Pride flags was the most beautiful symbol – a moment we and our guests will never forget. And thank goodness for her composure, because let’s be real – nothing went according to plan. One bride arriving too early, a groomsman without the cords… through it all, Claire didn’t miss a beat. She rolled with every twist with a smile, cracked the perfect jokes at just the right moments, and made everyone feel the magic in the chaos. She struck a beautiful balance between sentiment and humour, and somehow made our ceremony feel like it was meant to be that way all along. Guests are still talking about how personal and real it felt – and we have Claire to thank for that. We cannot recommend her enough. Claire, thank you for your grace, your humour, and for being the steady hand in the most delightfully unpredictable day of our lives.

The fastest in the west
Claire is amazing. She somehow pulled together our whole ceremony in 11 days and made it feel like it had been planned forever. When I turned up too early, Claire quickly organised a Human Wall to hide me so I didn’t ruin the surprise for Magda. She also did some last-minute stage setting to make the most of the field we were in. She got to know us so well and gave us exactly what we wanted – even the bits we didn’t realise ourselves at the time. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Claire is absolutely amazing!!
Claire was amazing every step of the way. We had a steampunk wedding theme and Claire was immediately on board with so many amazing ideas! We had much more of a relaxed plan as we weren't sure what to expect with a wedding ceremony and Claire took her time to explain what to expect and all the different important aspects of the ceremony we would need to look at. She took so much time getting to know us and what we wanted for our ceremony and the end result was absolutely perfect. We had telegrams, a handfasting, and even my amazing nan was included in our ceremony.. so many factors that made it perfectly us! Thank you so much for making our day so fabulous Claire! All of our guests were so emotional and set the mood for the rest of our day, and everyone we've spoken to says it was the best ceremony and wedding they had been to due to it being so personalised... So if you are looking for a more alternative theme, Claire will definitely ace it!
