About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: October 2025

If you’re here, you’re probably planning a ceremony and wondering who will understand your style, your story and the atmosphere you want to create.

I’m Richard Jansen — a wedding celebrant crafting ceremonies for the curious, the stylish and the quietly rebellious.

My fee for a fully bespoke ceremony is £550 inclusive of travel within Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Buckinghamshire, and London’s surrounding areas.

I take commissions, not bookings, because every story deserves to be created with intent — not copied and pasted. My work blends elegance, authenticity and imagination to shape ceremonies that feel personal, poetic and entirely your own.

Whether it’s a Bridgerton-worthy stately home, a warehouse in East London or a festival-style celebration on a Cotswold farm, I design ceremonies that feel intentional and completely unborrowed.

My background includes more than a decade working within a Royal Household, arranging private and official events around the world. Before becoming a celebrant, I was also Director of Communications for an Olympic governing body, working across numerous Olympic Games and major international sports ceremonies. Those experiences taught me the importance of discretion, atmosphere and getting every detail right — qualities I bring to every wedding ceremony I create.

Before that, I began my career in London’s West End, including Phantom of the Opera, where I learned the power of presence, timing and emotion. Those instincts now sit quietly behind everything I do.

Based in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, I also work across Buckinghamshire, London and further afield — shaping ceremonies that are poised, personal and unmistakably yours.

If you’d like to explore the possibilities, we can begin with a relaxed conversation — no obligation, just connection.

Reviews for Richard Jansen Celebrant

Effortless, emotional, and so us

Richard just got us from the start. He made us feel calm, kept us grounded, and somehow turned all our ideas into something that felt totally effortless on the day.
The ceremony was emotional, stylish, and completely us — every word hit the right note, and our family and friends are still talking about it. He held the space with such warmth and quiet confidence that we could just be in the moment together.
We said afterwards that we’d love him to do our vow renewal in 20 years — though honestly, we’d relive it all tomorrow if we could.
