We meet each other.
It is important that you think I am the right person to work with for your ceremony. Our first chat is completely no obligation, I just want you to feel comfy with me.
We can initially “meet” over emails or calls and then we meet for a video call or in-person cuppa. Cake is not a problem either!
You book.
Ooh, you like Embrace? Great! Sorry to be a bore but I do have to send you a booking form to sign, then once you autograph it, the date is yours.
I will not work on any other ceremony for that date.
Your invoice is split into two 50% payments to help spread the cost.
We chat. Sometimes a lot.
To start off with, I ask you a lot of questions. Sorry about that! However, your answers really dictate what we include in the ceremony.
I need enough information to pull your words together to tell your story and include relevant elements that reflect who the ceremony is about.
It requires some chat, but isn’t all in one go.
I bring your story to life
Based on everything you have told me, your story is bought to life, and your ceremony is customised to tailor who it is for, whether yourself or a loved one.
ChatGPT can never replace our conversations or the personal ceremont writing skill.
No two ceremonies are ever the same, they’re created from scratch (genuinely this is one of the main reasons why I love my job).
You read
I do not perform any ceremony without you reading through it.
You will receive the final draft 5-14 days before the ceremony date. You need to be happy with everything, so this is your chance to do final tweaks.
If you are reading in your ceremony I encourage you to read your bits out loud in front of a mirror. Yes, really!
Sometimes we rehearse
If you would like to meet at your venue to rehearse we can do, ideally we will have arranged this at the booking stage to accommodate the rehearsal in the booking form.
We do not have to, this is about whether you want to.
If we do not rehearse, I will arrive on the day early just to quell any fears.
Your Ceremony takes place
The day arrives!
I understand that there may be a lot of emotions involved on the day, so will do my best to keep you calm and manage your ceremony to the ‘nth degree.
You will receive a copy of the ceremony on the day, along with any certificates issued, along with a hug, selfie request and my best wishes.
I then disappear into the ether as you carry on with your celebrations.
