Something True

Personalised wedding ceremonies & vows that weave your unique story into your big day

I work with couples to write wedding ceremonies that feel specific and authentic to them, telling their love stories. Together, we craft your vows or a ceremony script that you can take to an officiant, friend or family member to perform.

These are some of the most important words you will ever say – and I can help you write them in a way that feels real and true to you.

Marriage is an ancient tradition, but each marriage is unique to the couple and everything they bring to it – separately and together. A wedding ceremony is an opportunity to reflect that unique alchemy, to weave your story into ritual, whether it’s in front of your community, or a private commitment between you and your partner.

It can be whatever you want it to be.

This is for you if:

• You want something a bit different to the standard wedding ceremony but aren’t sure where to start
• You’d like to select parts of a traditional ceremony but weave in words or rituals that are unique to your love story
• You’d like a traditional ceremony but would like help writing your own personal vows because it feels a bit overwhelming
• You value storytelling and want your wedding ceremony to feel personal and authentic.

If you work with me, I will:

• Guide you through all the puzzle pieces of your ceremony, helping you decide what feels like “you” as we hold each component up to the light
• Listen to the story of you, and ask you thoughtful questions to get a real sense of the unique magic of your relationship
• Honour your voice in the telling of your story or the writing of your vows so that your promises sound like you
• Craft something that you can take to the person (an officiant, family member or friend) who will perform your ceremony, so you can feel safe knowing that your wedding ceremony will feel like a true expression of who you are.

I am not:

• An officiant – I do not perform the ceremony, I help you create the structure and the script, which you then take to your chosen officiant to perform
• A wedding planner – I work with you to design a ceremony structure and script, I do not handle the other elements of a wedding
• A lawyer – I do not handle any of the legal aspects of your wedding.

I am a lover of love stories and the way they are told. I would love to work with you to create something true to you – an encapsulation of your story and your values that you will have forever.
