An Industry award-winning wedding celebrant described by his clients as a lovely, friendly, professional celebrant, passionate about his couples.

Richard is based in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, he is fully qualified and was trained by the leading Celebrant training organisation in the UK. Not all celebrants obtain the qualification, it's not a requirement in the UK, and it takes time, effort and significant cost. However, Richard believes it was worth it to be able to deliver the very best service to his clients.

You will see from Richard's outstanding reviews, he is described as a friendly, professional celebrant, who is lovely with his clients, quickly putting them at ease. He is passionate about creating a beautiful ceremony which reflects his couple's lives and their love for one another. Ceremonies are delivered with style, confidence and grace along with a healthy dose of humour. Relaxed but structured.

Richard likes to keep his fees very affordable and it includes:

• Initial intro meeting and any subsequent Zoom meetings.
• Unlimited time devoted to creating and perfecting your ceremony.
• Advice, ideas and guidance on logistics, music, readings, writing vows, props and symbolic acts.

• Commemorative Wedding Certificate to sign during the ceremony.
• Use of any of my fabulous props - eg unity candle sticks, loving cup, handfasting ribbons, sand ceremony vases etc.
