Vince made our day perfect!
We recently tied the knot and had the pleasure of having Vince as our celebrant. From the moment we first met Vince we knew he was the perfect person to officiate our ceremony.

Throughout the entire process Vince displayed professionalism, warmth and genuine care for making our day extra special. He took the time to understand our love story, our values and our vision for the wedding. This personal touch translated into a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored to us, and we were touched by his attention to detail.

One the big day Vince was cool and calm setting the perfect tone for the ceremony. He eloquently delivered a heartfelt and beautifully crafted script that left not a dry eye in the audience. It was evident that he invested time and effort into getting to know us as the air filled with love and emotion.

Vince also did an excellent job in involving our families and lives into the ceremony. He seamlessly weaved in anecdotes and stories that added a touch of humor and warmth to the proceedings. It truly felt like an intimate celebration of love and togetherness.

If you're on the hunt for a celebrant who will turn your wedding ceremony dreams into reality we whole heatedly recommend Vince. His passion, sincerity and ability to connect with people truly sets him apart. Our wedding day was made even more magical by his presence and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for creating a cherished memory that will live in our hearts forever.

I would like to thank Vince on a professional performance and going above and beyond for the brides and guests at the venue. Through difficult owners of the venue Vincent stayed professional and kept a smile and still made the day extra special. I would recommend Vincent anytime. Thank you

Top Celebrant
It was such a pleasure having Vince as our celebrant on our special day. We were living abroad when we first contacted Vince, and on our Zoom calls it felt like we knew Vince and Vince knew us for many years. Planning a wedding is obviously very busy, but when completing anything for Vince, was super easy and a pleasure to do. With all this planning, our ceremony was out of this world. Everything we ever wanted!Vince had us laughing, but more importantly our guests laughing with the unique specialised ceremony that he created for us. If we had to do it all over again Vince would be at the top of the list and we would recommend him to anyone who needs a celebrant.

Greatest Day Ever
I never seen a person more suited to a profession. Vince officiated at our wedding in Stratford Upon Avon. He was a total professional from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for him, all our guests loved him, we never stopped laughing and he made our wedding day so special and magical in every way. Every wedding needs a Vince! He is a lifelong friend for both of us.

Our Perfect Wedding Celebrant
Words cannot possibly begin to describe how wonderful our wedding ceremony was, Vince was unbelievable! He had only 8 weeks to plan and deliver our wedding due to a new beautiful lakeside wedding venue that became available. He absolutely loved the idea of a rustic outside wedding with a touch of boho, and wrote our ceremony accordingly. He produced bespoke reading especially written for us, customised vows and had no issues with us having our two gorgeous dogs involved in the wedding. He even wrote them in as best man and maid of honour, adding them to our ceremony certificate! He wrote some lovely words for my stepdad bringing him to tears, in a good way. Thank you so much Vince x. Laura & Brett

Themed weddings? Yes, absolutely! What would you like to do? Beam on board the Enterprise in full Star Trek glory, rub shoulders with both Jedi and Sith with a Star Wars wedding or marry in Winterfell with the House Stark in Game of Thrones? Then you shall! It is your day so don’t compromise, you can have whichever theme you’d like. Why not incorporate a symbolic ritual like jumping the besom and the broomstick could be a Nimbus 2000, if Harry Potter is your passion? I will craft the script with you capturing the all the important details, suggesting scenes, placing in those all important quotes and music ideas… it’s a big galaxy so why not embrace it! Let’s do this together! Where there is love there is life
