Belinda (Bel) Robey of Ceremonies by Bel is a fully trained and qualified celebrant with a long and established background in bringing love stories to life in words. As former Assistant Editor of HELLO! magazine, she specialised in celebrity weddings, interviewing famous brides and grooms, such as Rochelle and Marvin Humes, Kimberley Walsh and Tina Turner, about love and romance, attending their big days and capturing every moving, memorable moment in her writing.
Warm, friendly and perceptive, Bel now uses her love of words and nose for a great exclusive line to create sparkling tailor-made ceremonies for couples who say "I do" to throwing away the rule book and same ol', same ol' scripts heard countless times before in favour of a true and authentic reflection of them and their vision.
No two love stories are the same. This is your moment to really celebrate what makes yours unique and special. So whether you're going all out with a big, elaborate extravaganza, or keeping things small and intimate, Bel will work closely with you to craft the ceremony your love story deserves. One that incorporates all those wonderful, sweet, quirky little details that sets it apart. A ceremony that sets the tone for the rest of your big day and keeps your guests fully engaged.
Offering weddings, civil partnerships, vow renewals, and more, Bel embraces the opportunity to celebrate love in all its glorious forms. Free spiritually, she is happy to incorporate elements from all faiths and religions - or none at all. As with everything about your ceremony, that's your call. From readings, poems, and song choices, to symbolic rituals and bespoke surprises, she loves nothing more than helping her couples find their perfect match.

Hello again! Thank you so much for checking out my profile. Ceremonies by Bel isn't just my business, it's my passion, and creating ceremonies for couples that truly encapsulate their personalities, values and emotions in a way that’s authentic and unique to them is a just a joy. So what else can I tell you about myself ...?
- I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Naming and Couples Ceremonies - the highest qualification of its kind available in the UK - from OFSTED outstanding-rated Civil Ceremonies Ltd.
- "Elegant" and “classy” are words that have kindly been used to describe my ceremony style.
- I am Mum to a wonderful grown-up daughter - and personal servant to a tiny but mighty rescue Chihuahua-Pom who’s always looking for trouble.
- I met my husband in the street. I thought he was trying to steal my bag!. A year to the day later, on the very spot in Waterloo where he gave me his business card, he asked me to marry him. Kismet!
- I'm a big fan of thrillers, bubble baths, chilled rose wine, sunshiney walks, red velvet cake (actually, pretty much all cake) and US dog rescuer Lee Asher.
- *In my 14 years writing and interviewing for HELLO!, I attended some truly beautiful and amazing celebrity weddings, both here and abroad. But I think my favourite destination was Barbados. (Thank you, Kimberley Walsh!)
- *I'm a social creature, who thrives on being around people. So let's meet! I'd LOVE to help you plan your dream ceremony.
