On Hitched.co.uk since 2026

Last update: August 2026

It all starts with your story - how you met, when you knew you'd fallen in love, your journey so far and your hopes and dreams for the future you plan to build together. I will create a ceremony centred around what is unique about the two of you, like a golden thread that will weave its way through every aspect. Your guests wil be taken on a magical journey and the ceremony will be the best part of your day - not the boring part before the drinks!

I am Verity, owner of Life Ceremonies by Verity. I am a wedding celebrant from Halesowen working in the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcstershire and Shropshire.

By choosing a celebrant-led ceremony, you open the door to something completely personal, memorable, and uniquely yours. Every element can be shaped around who you are and what matters most to you.

So why choose me as your celebrant? Here are just a few reasons:

  • I am professionally trained through the International College of Professional Celebrants
  • I’m a true romantic — I take the time to understand your love story and thoughtfully weave it throughout your ceremony
  • I work closely with your wedding planner and venue to ensure everything runs seamlessly and reflects your wishes
  • I have a deep love of language and can support you in writing your vows — or create something bespoke just for you
  • I can suggest and guide you in incorporating meaningful rituals into your ceremony
  • I’ll help you find the perfect readings, poetry, stories and songs to beautifully express your love
  • I deliver ceremonies with warmth, calmness, and clarity — holding space for you both while bringing your personalities to life
  • Whether you’d like to include religious elements or prefer a completely non-religious ceremony, I will tailor everything to suit you.

I am excited to get started on our ceremony planning journey and am always happy to answer any questions that you may have. Here's to love!

Thank you Verity

We approached Verity to be our wedding celebrant as we knew we wanted to do the legal part as a small ceremony with just close family and friends prior to our big day and we loved her website and Hitched profile. We were not disappointed. Verity replied to our initial enquiry within the hour and helpfully arranged a Google Meet online for the next day so that both my partner and I could meet her properly. She was so helpful, listening to our ideas and making suggestions to make our ceremony really special. We had a face to face meeting a few months before our wedding where we solidified our ceremony. Her writing was amazing. I felt she truly knew us. On the day itself, she was there to guide and support. My partner was incredibly nervous but Verity eased his nerves with kind reassuring words and a few giggles. The ceremony was everything we’d asked for and more- personal, magical and fun. The keepsake that she gave to us means the world- what a wonderful momento. We would recommend her to any couple looking for a ceremony that all of their guests will remember for years to come.

Just perfect

Wow, what can I say? Professional but so approachable, Verity made our ceremony dreams come true from start to finish. We had a cocktail ritual personalised to us which was her suggestion and we were supported by her in writing our own vows. Nothing was too much trouble. Many of our friends have asked for her contact details since the service to use her for their future events. Thank you Verity!

A wonderful ceremony

Verity is a brilliant celebrant. She took the time to really get to know us and wrote a ceremony that was entirely appropriate for us, our family and our friends. Verity is warm, friendly and just how you’d want a celebrant to be. I would highly recommend her for your occasion.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

I followed my heart into becoming a celebrant after being deeply moved as a guest at a beautiful ceremony. That experience inspired me to offer the same sense of meaning and care to others through personalised celebrations.

I trained with the International College of Professional Celebrants, completing the course feeling inspired by the creative possibilities celebrancy offers. Unlike more traditional formats, celebrancy allows for truly bespoke ceremonies—shaped by your choice of music, location, timing, rituals and words.

I have always worked in caring and supportive roles, beginning as a Careers Adviser guiding young people and later as a Primary School Teacher. I take pride in my ability to build genuine relationships, stay open-minded, and foster authenticity and connection.

My most important role to date is being a Mum to my daughter, a role that has taught me patience, love and adaptability.

When I'm not working, I enjoy watching a good series, reading a book with an interesting plot twist, eating all the delicious food, cocktails with friends, dancing and holidays chasing the sun. I can also be found at the gym pretty regularly, but I would call this a habit rather than a hobby as I mostly hate it!

I look forward to meeting you and exploring how I can best support you, your family, and friends during life’s meaningful moments.
