Truly Grateful!

We would like to thank Richard for helping to create such a beautiful, unique and personal wedding ceremony and for officiating in such a calm, caring and relaxed way! It made our day so special and has been remarked on by so many of our guests. Richard was so easy to work with and took us from our initial thoughts and indecision to the creation of something that was more meaningful than we had ever imagined and we are truly grateful! Thank you!

Professional yet very personable

We wanted a very relaxed authentic wedding ceremony which Richard understood innately. He guided us through the ceremony ensuring we were happy with what was to be said well in advance, giving us time to amend or personalise what was suggested through years of experience. Professional yet very personable

David and Sallyann

Richard was so great in making the perfect ceremony for our wedding. He spent time with us, to get know us as a couple. As well as talk through all the different aspects we could include in the ceremony. Once crafted, we had multiple calls to ensure we were happy with the final result. We had so many compliments on the day about how great and personal the ceremony was.

Hannah and Dan

The perfect ceremony

We cannot thank Richard enough for being a part of our special day, and for contributing to make it so special. As soon as we met him, we knew he was the celebrant for us. Richard was warm and welcoming throughout and really took the time to get to know us, understand our story and crafted the perfect ceremony for us, that was the perfect blend of heartfelt and funny, and was completely us. I can’t understate how nice it was to have a friendly face at the end of the aisle guiding us through the ceremony. We got many compliments on the day and still weeks after the wedding how fantastic the ceremony was and that they’d never seen one like that that was so personal and engaging – Richard did a fantastic job. He was helpful throughout and helped us understand the process to get legally married as well. For anyone considering a celebrant led wedding, I can’t recommend it enough, it was the perfect experience for what we wanted. We also received a beautiful copy of the ceremony script, our vows and certificate from the day which is a lovely touch. Thank you again Richard!

Ben and Kelly 

Thank-you so much for giving us a great ceremony. It was just what we wanted – a nice simple mix of traditional and personal! Our guests really enjoyed it and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Jake and JoJo

Such a Gentleman

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 Debs

You’ve exceeded our expectations!
You really have made such a special and emotional day become more than we could ever of hoped for. You captured us so well and the ceremony was absolutely perfect. Everybody commented on what a lovely service it was and how well it went, all thanks to you.
Rachael and Robin

Thank you so much for your ceremony
We have had so many people compliment the ceremony and have you to thank for that – apparently it made a lot of people cry, including myself!
Jade and Declan

Richard is the perfect celebrant!
Richard was the perfect celebrant and we can’t imagine having chosen anyone else. From the first zoom call with his warmth and kindness, we immediately knew he was the right fit for us. He tailored our ceremony perfectly to be romantic, meaningful and funny. On the day, he went above and beyond to make our elopement special far beyond a celebrant’s duties and we can’t thank him enough. He now feels like family and we love him dearly. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Elanie and Jeffery

Richard was fantastic!
Richard was a fantastic celebrant for our wedding. He was very flexible and easy to communicate, and what he wrote delighted us and our guests. We would definitely recommend!
Renee and Josh

Richard 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.

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.
James

Phenomenal
We chose Richard as our celebrant within moments of speaking, he was so personal and professional. We knew he was the perfect person to guide our ceremony and propel us into married life. The quality of the ceremony was more than we ever expected, and our guests loved every funny moment within it. I honestly believe that our wedding day started right, because of how beautiful the ceremony was. There will never be enough thanks for the lasting memories Richard gave us ❤️

Professional and Diligent Celebrant
Richard was very professional and diligent. We left finding a celebrant quite late in the process of planning our wedding, but Richard worked with us on a tight deadline to deliver a wonderful ceremony. Not knowing what should be included and exactly how the ceremony should run, Richard made many great suggestions and helped bring it all together. On the day itself he was flexible and adaptable, and the ceremony went smoothly.
Jaime and Chenxi

Thank you Richard!
Thank you so much Richard. We absolutely loved having you a part of our day. You definitely made everything seem so simple for us when we felt a little overwhelmed! All our guests loved you too! If you are looking for a celebrant, do not hesitate with Richard! He is kind, incredibly talented and has a lovely energy. Thank you again.
Daisy and Harry

October wedding
Richard took the time to get to know us both and ensured our vision of our ceremony came to life. Richard crafted every word of our ceremony; it was personalised to us as a couple and even gave us a copy as a keepsake. We would highly recommend Richard.
Zoie and Ewan

Beautiful September Ceremony. Thank you!
We were so happy with our wedding ceremony! So many of our guests and vendors commented on how brilliant Richard’s service was. He was funny, easy to talk to, and included everything we could of wanted. We can’t recommend Richard enough! If you want a personalised and beautiful ceremony with a fantastic natural speaker, book The Wessex Celebrant. We also got a keepsake copy of our ceremony in the post which was so beautiful. Our ceremony was my (brides) personal highlight of the day! Thank you for making our ceremony perfect!
Emma and Conor

We could not have been more delighted with the ceremony you conducted and I’m overjoyed to say that the rest of the day continued on that theme. Every time that you went the extra mile to understand what we wanted from our day it helped shape it into the best experience we could have ever dreamt of. Thank you

Sophie and Tom

Perfect start to our wedding celebration
We weren’t really sure what we wanted for our wedding ceremony, just something simple and unfussy, something fun and relaxed. What we got from Richard was all of those things and way more.
From our first phone call, FaceTime calls right through to the end of our ceremony Richard has been amazing to work with.

We’re both now so glad that there were no registrars available for our day and instead chose Richard to conduct our ceremony (an absolute blessing in disguise or fate maybe).

Our guests all said the same thing…. That our ceremony was a perfect, intimate and touching reflection Craig and my relationship. It was different to normal wedding ceremonies but in the absolute most positive and beautiful way.

So thank you so much for kicking our day off so wonderfully.

Dani and Craig

Fantastic man and a fabulous service
Richard was fantastic from start to finish.
Professional, relaxed, reliable and amazing at reading who we were and what we needed to relax into the experience. Being people who don’t really enjoy standing in the spotlight or discussing emotion publicly we were a little bit nervous about the whole experience but it turns out there was no need.
Richard took our nerves and squashed them and by our second encounter we were we thoroughly confident that he was the celebrant for us.
We shared many laughs through the process and on the day he was so calm and professional ever guest we spoke to has mentioned how amazing they thought he was, how funny, warm and heart felt our service was.
We really cannot thank you enough Richard. Thank you for helping us to create “our day our way”

Clare & Gavin

Perfect personal service!
Richard was the perfect celebrant for our special day. His communication and service was impeccable throughout the process. From our meetings with Richard and the Q&A we completed for him, he crafted a very personal ‘love story’ for our ceremony which we loved. We would very highly recommend Richard to any couple looking for a celebrant-led wedding. Our guests absolutely loved the story and many had said that they had never been to a wedding where the ceremony was so fun and special. We really appreciate the time and thought that went into preparing the speech and loved that it was so personal to us.

Nick and Rachel

Thank you!
Richard, all we can say is the biggest thank you. You were incredible from start to finish, and massively put us at ease for our big day. Richard took the time to get to know us, and wrote the most beautiful words for our ceremony to our guests, whilst also putting my partner Harry at ease! Thank you so much for everything!

Daisy and Harry

Made our big day extra special!
Richard was a calming presence for our bespoke personalised ceremony at our wedding. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease in his company and knew we were in safe hands with creating an order of service personal to our love story as a couple. Richard was flexible with any ideas we came to him with, communication was clear and consistent throughout, and he was so professional, but also with a great sense of humour that meant the whole process was less stressful for us. He made us feel less nervous during the ceremony and after the ceremony, all our friends and family were singing his praises and asking us how we found a celebrant that knew us so well! It felt so special having a ceremony tailored to us as a couple, so we would highly recommend Richard for anyone looking for a unique wedding ceremony.

Hannah & Dom

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 number of guests that complimented Richard was too many to count. 100% recommend!
Ed and Elena

Made our wedding Day
Thank you so much Richard, you made our wedding day! The whole process has been really relaxed and easy ☺️ We would recommend you to anyone!
Lauren & Michael
