On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: December 2025

A genuine and intrinsic passion for celebrating life's brightest moments with heart, originality, authenticity and fun makes Big Heart Ceremonies a great choice for designing and officiating your Wedding & Family occasions.

As a Celebrant, I'll work with you in whichever way is most comfortable for you, to get to know all about what you imagine for your ideal ceremony and offer all the advice, support and suggestions I can, to help expand beyond traditionally perceived restrictions. The World is your oyster with a Celebrant, as there are no restrictions on what must be included or excluded in your occasion.

Forget venue licenses, tired scripts, rules about what you must say or limitations to reflecting your personal beliefs and religions. I'll listen to who you are and what is important to you, then design a ceremony that captures exactly that! I'm an inertly intuitive people person, skilled in picking up on even the smallest of details as we work together in order to make tailored and empowering recommendations as you go through your planning process.

I'm determined to take the stress out of all things Weddings, especially and maintain the fun and excitement that we'll create on the day! I've worked in the Wedding and Hospitality industry most of my life, and it would break my heart to see couples arrive on their Wedding Day exhausted and drained, only to meet a Registrar for the first time & nod along through a personality-free ceremony, just daydreaming about the celebration to follow.

The alternatives are endless, and my belief is that at the heart of it all should be saying your Vows in the most meaningful, memorable & sincere way for YOU. It is my honour to help interpret what that looks like to you specifically, develop it together, then deliver just that - the first day of your happily ever after!

I'll be on hand, guiding you through the whole planning process for your occasion with warmth and reassurance and at your side on the big day, cheering you on! Whether it be in a fancy Hotel, on top of a mountain or in your back garden!

Please, please don't hesitate to get in touch with any queries you might have, and I'll do my best to help. Whether it be to do with the role of a Celebrant, the wider World of events, or any of my other services. My goal is to fill the shoes of a good friend with all the experience you need when organising an important life event for the first time!

The Geography

I am based in London and Hertfordshire, but happy to travel by train, plane or automobile to wherever you are!

The Legal Bit

I am frequently asked about the legal element of Weddings, and I am very happy to support with this. My website explains in more detail that, for now (2025), Celebrant Weddings are not legally binding in England or Wales, yet! We can still sign a commemorative Wedding Certificate within your Celebrant ceremony, but Marriage Licenses may only be obtained via the Council. There are a few approaches to this which can be achieved separately from your Celebrant Wedding day, from as little as £40!

Packages & Fees

I'll always aim to be competitively priced based on my passion & experience as well as transparent and focused on sustainability. So, don't hesitate to ask if you want to discuss tailoring a package to suit your needs.

Exceptional !!!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Victoria to create the wedding we wanted. Her professionalism care and attention to detail throughout the whole process ensured we had the best day. From zoom meetings to meeting at the venue, dealing with our never ending demands and ideas to liaising with suppliers, Victoria held our hands at all times. Would 100% recommend to create the personalized wedding you want

Victoria made our ceremony unforgettable ❤️

My husband and I were so lucky to meet Victoria at a wedding show, we instantly clicked and knew she was the one for us. Victoria completely understood our vision and made the whole process effortless. Our ceremony had lots of moving parts, from our dog being the ring bearer to announcing our new last name - but Victoria made everything flow seamlessly. She thought of every detail, kept our guests engaged, and told our story so beautifully.

Meeting with her always felt like catching up with a friend while planning something special. One of our guests even said, “The ceremony was so special, I didn’t want it to end.” We couldn’t recommend Victoria enough, she truly made our day unforgettable and absolutely perfect, going above and beyond anything we ever first envisioned. Thank you so much again 🩷

"Simply The Best" Big Heart Ceremonies

I cannot find words enough to justify how amazing Victoria is. Her work effic goes way above her call of duty. We met Victoria during a wedding Fayre in Chelmsford straight away my daughter and I felt a strong connection, we came out of the venue feeling as though we were guided to meet her as it wasnt a planned visit!
Victoria is a true professional , she was a delight to work with gave her full commitment from beginning planning through to the perfect wedding day.
Having Victoria was honestly like having a personal P.A who literally did everything for us even helping take our daughter to the "loo" while in her wedding dress on a few occaisions !!!
Once you meet Victoria you will instantly feel that she is the one for your perfect day.
One thing we feel she needs to do is put her prices up !!! She is worth every penny and more some....⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely Amazing

Thank you so much for all your work for our wedding. Before we even got to the ceremony, it was such a comfort to me to have you greet us and to guide the whole process providing the detailed logistics, & guiding us every step.


We loved our ceremony. We had so many comments on what a different ceremony it was and how good it was to hear our story. A few of our friends said they wished they’d known something like this was available when they got married.

You are a one of life's heros and have one of those warm, smooth voices you want to listen to always!

Victoria, we have no words - we are beyond grateful to you 🙏

It’s not a wedding if you don’t book Victoria!

What can we say about Victoria. We met at a wedding fair and instantly clicked. We never planned on having a celebrant and to be honest never knew what one was. But as soon as we met Vic I walked away from there and said to my then Fiancé “we NEED her”.
From that moment Vic was the absolute backbone of our wedding. She wasn’t just there for the day, she was there through the whole process.
We originally just booked her as our celebrant but then further booked her as our coordinator and it was the best decision we made.
Vic is absolutely outstanding at what she does. Our wedding day was catered to us in every way you could think of. Even down to the colour she decided to wear on the day.
She helped our day run as smoothly as possible which ensured me and my husband could enjoy every second of the best day of our lives.
Victoria became more than just our celebrant/coordinator but she is someone we will treasure as a friend and will always be remembered.
If you are planning a wedding I PROMISE you, you need Victoria.

Thank you again for everything Vic. So much love

Highly Recommend Victoria at Big Heart Ceremonies!!

From the moment we connected with Victoria, we knew we were in the best hands. She was engaging, proactive, and brought an infectious energy to every interaction. Her attention to detail was unmatched - she created thorough project plans, day-of schedules, and contingency strategies that kept everything running like clockwork.

Victoria didn’t just coordinate, she immersed herself in our journey. She joined us on venue visits, offered thoughtful advice, and was always available to help us navigate any pre-wedding hiccups. Her ability to stay calm and composed while calming our nerves - especially in the final days and on the wedding morning, was a gift in itself.

On the day, she arrived early and immediately took charge, ensuring every element of the venue setup was executed flawlessly. She seamlessly stepped into multiple roles: decorator, MC, coordinator, and behind-the-scenes problem solver. Her versatility and grace under pressure were nothing short of remarkable.

Victoria liaised with venue owners and vendors with professionalism and warmth, making sure everyone knew their roles, cues, and setup locations. Her communication skills and leadership ensured that every moving part of the day came together beautifully.

She’s a woman of many talents! Organised, intuitive, and deeply committed to making your day extraordinary. Her presence was a source of calm and confidence, and her dedication went far beyond what we ever expected.

We highly recommend Victoria and Big Heart Ceremonies, who will not only help your day run smoothly but elevate it to something truly unforgettable. She’s the kind of person who makes magic happen and does it all with a big heart.

Simply amazing

My mum and stepdad booked Victoria for their wedding and in August. I’m in the wedding industry myself and this was the only thing I left them to book as I really didn’t know much about the kind of service they wanted. Now I get it! Victoria was incredible and as soon as I met her i understood why they booked her. The bottom line is she actually cares and you can tell she has a real genuine love for what she does. She really really takes the time to get to know her couples and that results in the most beautiful and personalised ceremonies. Nothing was too much for Victoria, even taking the time to help my mum and stepdad with their vows. I’ve seen and been to a lot of weddings but this was the first time I experienced not only a beautiful, personalised service but also one that was fun, interesting and entertaining for all the guests. Wedding ceremonies can often be short, very formal and kind of boring. But not if you book Victoria, and your guests will remember your wedding service and comment on how special it was for years to come I’m sure.

Victoria is Incredible!!

Me and my husband had the pleasure of working with Victoria for our elopement in London. We come from Texas and found her during our search and I knew the moment we met on a call that we would be a perfect match!! It was our first time in London and we wanted to make it as intimate and special as possible. Victoria delivered to us nothing short of that. She went above and beyond for us and gave us the best experience of our life. I am so grateful to have found her all the way across the world and to have been able to work with her for our ceremony. She recommended all sorts of places for us to go to during our time, spent lots of time on calls with us getting to know us and she even visited the location we were getting married at. She not only delivered us a beautiful ceremony but we now always have a friend across the ocean♥️. I don’t know what I would have done without her guidance and help. She truly is one of a kind and you will not be disappointed one bit by the wonderful work she does. She poured so much of herself into every aspect and took the time to get to know us on video calls, messages and constant detailed emails even thousands of miles away. Her patience, and support goes such a long way. I wouldn't of wanted anyone else to do our ceremony. We are so so grateful to have met her and you will be too!! - Mr. And Mrs. Silver

Amazing celebrant for perfectly personalised ceremonies!

Victoria is a sensational celebrant who truly made our wedding unforgettable. We met at a wedding open day and immediately felt her warmth and expertise. From our very first call, she got to know us deeply and helped tailor every detail of our ceremony. Her thoughtful guidance and clear written advice eased our wedding planning—and she even recommended a brilliant pianist to play for the ceremony as the big day drew near.

On the wedding day, Victoria’s caring presence shone through. She met us individually to check in, ensured the layout matched our vision, and supported everyone behind the scenes. Her flawless delivery, complete with gentle humor and heartfelt personalization, left our guests raving about how special the ceremony was.

We couldn’t be happier with Victoria and highly recommend her for anyone seeking a perfect, personalised ceremony to enhance their wedding day.

Victoria is the best of the best!!

Words can’t describe how grateful we are have Victoria help us with our ceremony. She handled everything with so much grace and class. Thank you Victoria for going above and beyond for me and Lexi and giving us such an unforgettable experience. Not only is she amazing at her job but she’s just an all-around great person and a good time! We’d recommend her 10x to anyone looking to get married. When we decide to do vow renewal you’re the one we will be calling. Thank you for everything you’re an angel!

Vicki is amazing!

So it turns out that planning a wedding is actually blooming stressful! I had my wedding reception at my family home so we had to do everything ourselves for 150 guests. There was so much to think about and organise and I would not have had a clue to where to start! Thanks goodness for Vicki who was by my side the whole time ready to help and advise and offer her endless wisdom, knowledge, contacts and general support. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She is such a warm, friendly person who I absolutely would recommend to anyone. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have someone by your side who you can trust and knows what they are doing to ensure your special day runs smoothly! Book Vicki!!

A carefully crafted wonderful ceremony!

We first met Victoria briefly at the House wedding fair and it was from there we got in touch to get the ball rolling. From the beginning, Victoria was thorough, easy to work with and made the process so fun. We discussed things we would like in the ceremony, things we didn’t want and Victoria even introduced things we hadn’t thought of, which we ended up including.
We met a few times before our final run through of the big day and it was all perfect. Every time we met, it was so easy going and enjoyable to catch up.
On the day, we had so many of our guests asking whether Victoria was my friend or John’s friend, because they thought Victoria knew us so well! The ceremony was beautiful, meaningful and had some great anecdotes along the way!
I could not recommend Victoria enough, she is truly a wonderful, gifted celebrant and brought even more love and happiness to our day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
