Welcome to Ceremonies by Ruth — Bespoke Celebrant-Led Wedding Ceremonies, filled with, joy, personality and heart where your love story takes centre stage.
I’m Ruth, a multi award-winning Independent Wedding Celebrant based in Suffolk, but happy to travel wherever your “I dos” takes us.
I’m known for creating warm, personal and joy-filled celebrant-led wedding ceremonies that feels authentically you. Being an independent celebrant means we can throw out the rulebook and create a ceremony that’s uniquely yours, whenever, wherever, and however you imagine it.
From the moment you book me, I’m with you every step of the way. Through relaxed chats, emails and meet-ups, I get to know your story, your style and what truly matters to you. I then hand-craft a unique ceremony script that blends emotion, humour and heartfelt moments, before delivering it on your wedding day with a calm, friendly and inclusive presence your guests will love.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, vow renewal or commitment ceremony, my goal is simple: to create a #hellofabulousceremony you and your guests will remember forever.
Let’s have a chat — I’d love to hear your love story.

The Best!!
She was endlessly patient, supportive and went above and beyond to give us the best service possible. We made a few last minute changes and she handled everything so calmly, even helping us fit in a surprise I had planned for my husband. Our ceremony was truly beautiful and more special than we could have imagined. We are so grateful we met Ruth at a wedding fair because she played such a huge part in making our day magical.
Ruth is an incredible person, professional, passionate and so clearly dedicated to what she does.
Thank you, Ruth for giving us the most magical day ❤️
An incredible celebrant!!
The pacing of the process of getting to know each other was great, Ruth sends out some questionnaires which were hilarious to fill in, and she has a knack of picking up what's special and unique about your relationship, and the story starts to write itself. As we started to put together what would be the parts of the day it really felt special, Ruth was always warm, always creative and was able to put into words exactly want we wanted to say to each other and all our loved ones.
Our wedding day was fabulous, Ruth was there to meet and greet and really puts everyone at ease. The ceremony itself was all we hoped for and more, Ruth's delivery was excellent, we even managed to sail through a blunder while tying the knot.
Ruth brings to a wedding a perfect way to tell your love story, your way. If you are looking for a celebrant who will go the extra mile to create the most wonderful experience, look no further.
Thank you so much Ruth, you made our day!

Amazing day
Ruth made our wedding so special for us in everyway and we can not thank her enough.
The best celebrant!
Ruth made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Every detail in the script reflected who we are, our story and what mattered most to us. She checked in regularly in the lead-up to the big day and made sure we were happy with every part of the script. There was never any pressure to include things we didn’t want. Ruth made sure the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted.
The pre-wedding meet-up at the venue with Ruth was so helpful. She walked us through everything, answered every question and made sure we both entirely happy with the arrangements for our day.
On our wedding day, Ruth arrived in plenty of time and immediately got everything organised. She made sure all the little details were in place, spoke with our suppliers, groomsmen and the bridal party to ensure everyone knew what to do. The ceremony she delivered was heartfelt, seamless and truly unforgettable. So many of our guests commented on how personal and special it felt. It was exactly what we wanted.
Ruth is a wonderful lady and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. She made our vision of our wedding ceremony come true and we will always be grateful for the part she played in making our wedding day so perfect. Thank you Ruth!

The best celebrant in the UK!
Keeley & Tony Salisbury
On the day of the wedding herself and Ruth’s husband David (The unsung hero of the day) made us both feel at ease and we knew the day was going to be beautiful. David took the time to help all the grooms men get ready and offered last minute of advice to us all, was made us feel ready. He’s also just a great person to be around.
Once the ceremony was ready to start Ruth made sure, we both knew what we were doing, where to be and made sure we were ready before anything happened. Once she started the ceremony, she ensured the guest were engaged, laughing, confutable and that our script was personal to us. Which everyone loved and commented on how great she was!
We’re both pleased that Ruth done our ceremony and helped made our day perfect. We would recommend Ruth to anyone.
Incredible
Wonderful Ruth
Tarsha & Ian's Wedding 29.8.2025
but so much more than that Ruth kept in contact with us all the way through the planning with video chats and then the run through at Downhall just before our day.
On the Day of our Wedding Ruth looked stunning as she always does, her smile and friendliness has a way of resonating calm in people and her professionalism was key to a very smooth running Ceremony. Helen our lovely Photographer captured some of my favourite photos of Ruth which I will always treasure,
We had so many Guests Commenting on how they absolutely loved the fun and yet very touching words that Ruth spoke using the information she gathered from us about missing loved ones and our story bringing tears of remembrance and laughter throughout the ceremony.
Ruth conducted her part so passionately and captivated everyone in the room, some said it was the best wedding they've ever attended.
We still get people talking about the day and Ruth is in my Phone as Ruth ( Jane Fonda) but more than that a friend who made our day something we will never forget.
We love you Ruth and Thank you so much for being there for us...Tarsha & Ian Johnson 💜
