Can't recommend Richard enough. Such a gentleman. Nothing was too much trouble. He put together our couple's story beautifully and definitely captured us both.
Richard gave us ideas for our ceremony and performed a ring warming element together with a handfasting.
He made our day and ceremony very personal.
We received a beautiful folder with the full ceremony and our pledges typed out as a lovely keepsake.
We couldn't have wished for anyone better to carry out our ceremony and if we ever need a celebrant again, Richard would be our first and only choice
Graham and DebsThe Wessex Celebrant's reply:
Thank you both so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It was an absolute privilege to share in your day and to help tell your story. I’m really pleased the ceremony felt personal and meaningful for you both too. I wish you plenty of happiness together, and thank you again for trusting me with something so special. Take care and kind regards, Richard -

First Class!
Richard was superb! From initial communication to the big day itself. Responsive, adaptable, knowledgeable and most importantly, a joy to work with.
Everything was planned, initial face to face meeting then regular catch ups before the day. On the day the ceremony was perfect, delivery was spot on. The amount of guests that complimented Richard was too many to count.
100% recommend!
The Wessex Celebrant's reply:
Hi Ed, thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of such a special day. I'm so glad everything came together just as you'd hoped, and it means a great deal to hear that both you and your guests were happy with the ceremony. Wishing you all the very best for the future and thank you again for the recommendation!

Thank you Richard!
I am so glad we chose Richard as a our celebrant! Straight from the get go, he was friendly, understanding and supportive. Everything about the planning process was straight forward and nothing was ever too much for Richard . Richard listened to who we are as a couple and crafted the perfect personalised ceremony script. We have had so many people talk about how emotional it was (apparently it made a few people cry!!). We appreciate it so much Richard - we have loved working with you and we wish you all the very best in the future. Jade and Declan xThe Wessex Celebrant's reply:
Thank you Jade and Declan, likewise it was an absolute pleasure to get to know you and craft your ceremony together. Seeing you stood there both so happy makes me appreciate how lucky I am to do the role I do.
Your personlised script truly reflected what a wonderful couple you are and I'm pleased it was recieved so well.
I also wish you and you georgous little daughter all the very best for the future, Take care Richard

Matthew Sent on 07/08/2025We booked Richard to be our Wedding Celebrant, and he was amazing!
Richard was very easy to get along with. He worked closely with us to create the perfect ceremony. All the communication, reminders, and adjustments went so smoothly, and Richard was very organised and friendly throughout.
On the day, he was fantastic! He arrived with plenty of time, was highly professional, and his tone and delivery were exactly as we had requested.
Everyone loved the ceremony, we received a lot of positive feedback and couldn’t have asked for anything more.
We’re very happy with our choice and wouldn’t have changed a thing. It was perfect.
We highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a Celebrant!The Wessex Celebrant's reply:
Hi Matthew, thank you so much for your kind words and your recommendation, it was such a pleasure to get to know you both and so pleased you recieved so much positive feedback :)
I wish you both all the very best for your future together, thank you again, Richard -

Perfect ceremony
Well, what is not to love about the Wessex Celebrant! Very personal, friendly and most importantly can deliver a ceremony that was just lovely. Funny, engaging, well timed, personal and beautiful. It set our day off perfectly. Thank you Richard, we feel like we found a friend in you, you know just so much about us and pitched the ceremony perfectly!
Value for money? I’d have paid double if I knew how perfect it would have been! Thank you.The Wessex Celebrant's reply:
Thank you James, that's such kind words which are very much appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your day and to tell your story in a way that truly reflected you both. I’m really pleased that the ceremony hit the right notes and set the tone for such a special celebration, but to be called a friend is the greatest compliment — thank you. -

Tia Sent on 08/07/2025Richard created the most perfect ceremony for us!
We requested Richard’s services for our wedding this month and he couldn’t have done a more perfect job. From the first interaction we could feel how immense the ceremony would be, myself and my husband talked and talked about how special it was going to be.
Richard always made sure that we were happy with what was going into the drafts and truly wanted it to be special for us and we cannot thank him enough.
The ceremony was perfect and we got so many compliments on how awesome it was and said how much more special it was compared to a registrar. For us it was the perfect choice as Richard got to share our story with all of our close family and friends.
We have now been sent a commemorative copy of our ceremony and certificate and we will cherish this forever.The Wessex Celebrant's reply:
Hi Tia
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was truly an honour to be a part of your special day and to help bring your story to life in front of your closest family and friends.
It was a joy getting to know you both to make your vision a reality and I'm so grateful to hear how much the ceremony meant to you and your guests.
I wish both of you and your lovely children a future filled with happiness and laughter.
Thank you again
