One of life’s biggest and most joyful milestones

Civil or a religious wedding ceremony are not the only options and what better way to personalise your special day with a ceremony that’s truly unique to you and your partner. Hiring a celebrant is a fantastic way to put your own stamp on the wedding ceremony.

Hello, my name is Gem Watson, and I have been a professional Marriage and Family Celebrant and Member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants since 2020.

It is real joy to be a part of your special occasion as Weddings are probably one of life’s biggest and most joyful milestones. You’re marrying your best friend – your story is totally unique. Using your ideas and my experience, we will create a wonderful day full of all the special moments that you and your guests will treasure.

I can include religious/spiritual and other rituals in the ceremonies, making them truly meaningful, romantic, elegant and yet relaxing so you fully enjoy your wonderful day.

Advice on Writing
A CEREMONY

If you are looking to write your own ceremony, but just need some pointers or guidance we can arrange a skype call or meet up and I will look over your draft script.

WE DO!

I am available to conduct weddings, civil partnerships and renewal of vows. We can plan on how you can celebrate your love in a ceremony that is bespoke to you.

Ceremonies and rituals can include lighting of candles, sand ceremonies, handsfasting, music and readings. As a parent I am at ease at including children into your family union and making them as much part of the services as you would like. Older children may feel comfortable enough to give a reading, younger children may just be happy to join in a sand ceremony showing the blending of families, or you and your partner may even have a beloved pet that will even join in your special day!
