Want a wedding ceremony that actually feels like you — not a script you’ve heard before?
I’m Richard Jansen — a wedding celebrant creating ceremonies for the curious, the stylish, and the quietly rebellious.
I work by commission, not template. Every ceremony is shaped around your story, your energy, and the atmosphere you want to create — elegant, relaxed, playful, or somewhere in between.
Before becoming a celebrant, I spent years working at the highest level of live events and communications — including within a Royal Household, on the Olympics, and on the West End stage (The Phantom of the Opera). It taught me how to hold a room, read the moment, and help people feel at ease when emotions run high.
I’m often chosen by couples who care about words, tone, and how a moment actually feels — and who want something natural rather than over-performed.
Fee: £750 for a fully bespoke ceremony (including travel across Oxfordshire & surrounding counties).
If this feels like your kind of energy, the first step is a short, relaxed call to see if we’re a good fit.

Reviews for Richard Jansen Celebrant
Thank you from the whole family!
From our very first conversation, we felt completely looked after. Richard was calm, reassuring and beautifully polished — the kind of presence that makes you instantly relax and think, this is in safe hands.
On the day, he struck the perfect balance between warmth and lightness, guiding the ceremony with ease and just the right touch of humour.
One of the most meaningful suggestions he made was to include our grandparents in the readings. It was done with such sensitivity and care, and it meant more to them — and to us — than we can easily put into words. It became one of the moments people still talk about.
Thank you - Charlotte & Jude XX

No regrets in booking Richard
My wife and I, still getting used to saying that :) wanted something simple and smart , and he nailed it. The ceremony felt warm, relaxed and completely us. Marc and Jasmine
Effortless, emotional, and so us
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.
