    Absolute Craftsman!

    We can't recommend Richard enough!
    From the first meeting we had with him, we knew he was going to be great.

    Richard spent time and effort getting to know us, asking questions and tailoring the most beautiful ceremony for our wedding.

    Practically every guest commented on how lovely the ceremony was. How personal it felt and how Richard wove the story of our relationship into the very fabric of the wedding itself.
    He was calm, prepared and engaging. Found all the right quotes, and made everything easy, fun and deeply connected to us as a couple.

    An absolute craftsman.

    Guests raved about him!

    Richard was an amazing celebrant and we were so happy to have him be a part of our wedding. Richard made planning for the ceremony very easy, and offered his support throughout the journey. Our guests all raved about him and couldn’t believe that he hadn’t known us for years due to the personal touches that he added to the ceremony. Thank you Richard

    Led a perfect, deeply moving ceremony

    Richard was everything we wanted in a celebrant!

    From the start, he guided us through a thoughtful process for shaping what kind of ceremony we wanted. He wrote a beautiful script, adjusting it to suit us in every way. He coordinated friends sending in writings, which was a high point of the whole wedding. He led the ceremony with grace and charm—our guests were delighted and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. As a lovely final touch, Richard had printed our vows and the ceremony script as a memento for us to keep.

    I'd recommend Richard to any couple planning any kind of ceremony—he was absolutely great.

    Stellar job!

    Hi Richard!
    Thank you so much, we had an absolutely wonderful day- it couldn’t have gone much better!

    There were so many of our guests who commented about how fab you were and your humour! The Wedding coordinator also said you were one of the easiest she’s ever worked with. You did an absolutely stellar job! Thank you

    More Than A Job

    Wedding planning is stressful, and when you push all details aside, the celebrant is the one person you need to depend on. This person gets to deliver your ceremony in front of all of your family & friends. This is the moment. We couldn’t have wished for a better celebrant for our wedding day. Richard was amazing from start to finish, from our first email contact, planning meetings right the way through to the ceremony - he was professional, reliable, quick to respond, attentive to detail, captured our story perfectly and was even in control of our ceremony on the day. He helped the groom make last-minute changes to the venue, kept him calm and collected, whilst his nerves built waiting at the altar. Richard addressed the room with confidence and style. He mixed the perfect level of humour with the significance of a ceremony. We’ve watched the video back time and time again and just love every second. We would not doubt in a heartbeat book Richard again, if we were to do it all over again. It’s more than a job for Richard; his heart is in it, and he cares deeply. He went above and beyond for us. Richard, thank you again for making our day perfect and everything we’d ever dreamed of. Ellen & Jordan

    Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.

    We wanted to let you know you were brilliant and exactly what we needed for our ceremony.
    Your humorous yet heartwarming words filled the brief perfectly. The Star Wars touch was amazing, and your retelling of our story had many of our guests talking about the ceremony for days!
    Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant, and we are so thankful you got to be a part of our special day! It was so great to have someone so calm and cheery!
    Hannah apologises for ambushing you in her pyjamas early in the day when we were starting- she was excited to have another chat again before the ceremony, haha!
    All the best.
    - Matthew & Hannah

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Dear Richard,

Your kindness, sensitivity, and thoughtfulness made our special day even more beautiful than we could have imagined.

    Your calm and warm presence helped create an atmosphere of love and joy that we will cherish forever. The way you personalized the ceremony made it feel so special and meaningful. We truly appreciate how you took the time to make sure everything was perfect and tailored to us.

    It was an absolute pleasure to have you as part of such an important occasion in our lives. Thank you once again for everything—you made our day unforgettable.

    Where to start!

    It’s hard to know where to start when writing this review. Our wedding day was incredible, and we are so grateful for the hard work that you put into it as our celebrant.
    It was so important to us that the day was bespoke to us and our story was shared with our loved ones. It was the perfect way to start our day.
    Throughout the process, we really enjoyed working with you. You made us feel comfortable and at ease enough to share our story.
    Thank you Richard :)

    Very highly recommended!

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you so very much for the wonderful job you did for us on Saturday, and for the way you cared for my poorly grandfather so well.

    Your professionalism and sense of humour shone throughout the ceremony, and all the guests commented on how great you were.

    We had such a fantastic day filled with love and support.

    Thanks again, Georgia & Ryan
