If the View Is Worth Travelling For, Take Me With You
An olive grove. A clifftop. A quiet stretch of beach at the point in the evening when everything turns gold. If you have found the place, I would love to be the person standing in front of you when you say it out loud.
Bringing your own celebrant means the ceremony crosses the border with you. Your words, your people, your story, told by someone who has spent a long time getting to know you, rather than by someone you meet an hour beforehand who has never heard your names before.
How the Legal Side Works Abroad
Most couples marrying overseas handle the legal marriage in the UK before they fly. A short statutory appointment at your local register office, two witnesses, done.
That leaves the ceremony abroad completely free. No foreign legal wording to satisfy, no residency requirements, no translated paperwork.
What a Bespoke Package Covers
Every destination wedding is quoted individually, because no two are alike. Your package is built around the ceremony fee plus the genuine costs of my travel and accomodation.
Everything is discussed and agreed with you before anything is confirmed, in writing, with no surprises later. I would far rather have an honest conversation about numbers early than a difficult one afterwards.
What I’d Need to Know First
- Where you are going, and roughly when
- The venue or the setting you have in mind, if you have chosen one
- How many people are travelling with you
- Whether you have handled, or plan to handle, the legal marriage in the UK
- Anything about the two of you that you already know has to be included in the ceremony
Once you have given me these details I will come back to you with a proposal.
Words That Mean the Most to Me
“If you are looking for someone who is full of love and has a beautiful way with words to celebrate your loved one, I would highly recommend Lorna as your celebrant. She will put everything she has into making your service incredibly personal and one which allows people the chance to not only remember, but also smile. Lorna cares deeply about ensuring your experience is as easy as possible, particularly in the hardest times. I have no doubt that she is the best person to choose for your special occasion.”
“Lorna is a great celebrant as she listens, has empathy and is a good public speaker. I would recommend her services to my family and friends.”
Let’s Go! I’ve Got This
I have crossed the Arctic on a husky sled for charity, so an aeroplane and a good pair of shoes hold no fear. Whether in an Arctic suit or sun dress and sandals, I will be ready for any climate.
