Kelly Hawes

I am an independent celebrant based in Hertfordshire and I also cover the surrounding areas of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

After an initial telephone conversation and subsequent face to face meeting with you, I will create a truly bespoke and personal ceremony.  This can be based upon your love story, history and interests.  You are free to include religious content, poetry, music, in fact anything that is special to you.  Maybe you have a theme which we could incorporate into the wording too.

On the day I will arrive at least 1 hour before the start time in order to ensure the ceremony room is set up according to your instructions.  I will conduct the full ceremony and guide you both through your speaking parts.  Speaking in front of your friends and family can be a daunting thought but I will keep you calm and focused.  You can either read from a script or you could repeat your words after me.

You may have friends and family members who you would like to hold a significant part of your ceremony by either performing a reading or taking part in a symbolic action such as lighting candles. 

No doubt you have many of your own ideas and I look forward to hearing about them in order to incorporate these into your unique ceremony.

So, whether you are looking for something traditional or quirky we can work together to provide something memorable and amazing.
