Wedding Ceremonies
and Vow Renewals
Bespoke, magical and guided every step of the way...
A Celebrant-led ceremony is an amazing upgrade that not only will wow your guests, but will give you a magical foundation for your marriage. Typically, lots of thought goes into the aesthetic and styling of the ceremony area but not so much the content. Here's where I come in!
My ceremonies share a gorgeous look into your lives, ups and downs along the way, key stories and people; weaved with visual elements and keepsakes for you to treasure forever.
First and foremost, I will get to know you both on this journey and you'll be greeted with a smiling and familiar face on your wedding / vow renewal day. Each and every couple of mine is unique and so their ceremonies reflect this.

Reasons to choose Laura Bell
"Laura made the whole process so calm and easy. We met with her prior to having our script written and she was so knowledgeable it really put us at ease and helped us with some options we had for the ceremony! Mostly including our little ones in the day which was so important to us. The script she wrote for us was beautiful, and so fitting for us both and on the day she put us both at ease knowing she was there to help with anything (even tissues for my husband and suncream!) The ceremony was so personal for us and our 2 little ones who were involved in it all, and we had so many comments of how lovely she was and how personal and special the whole ceremony was. I can’t recommend Laura enough and would never ever consider recommending anyone else to others. Thank you so much again, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding."

Legally Wed Process
Celebrants in England and Wales are not recognised by law (boo!) so you will need to go to your local registry office to do your legal part of your marriage. It costs around £48 and you can withhold your vows and rings and save the them for your bespoke wedding ceremony with me.
So you're interested in a bespoke ceremony laced with Magic & Adventure?
How does it all work?
Step 1 - Say Hello!
Let's chat all about your exciting ceremony plans! I can either meet in person (for tea and cake of course) or over Zoom, at your venue or we can travel to your home. This gives you an opportunity to see if i'm the Celebrant for you, but if you've made it this far you probably like my style!
Step 2 - You want to book me (wahoo!)
So you would love for me to deliver your ceremony? Amazing! Once you've chosen and we've chatted, you'll receive a copy of the terms. A 50% deposit is required (25% if 2 years ahead) to book your chosen date which is then firmly in the calendar.
Step 3 - Ceremony Planning Call
Six months to go you'll receive a questionnaire for you both to fill in which you can let me know all of your exciting ceremony plans so far. On return of this, I can book in a ceremony planning call and go through all of the details which will enable me to start work on your bespoke script.
Step 4 - First draft of your love story
Six weeks to go you will receive your first draft of your love story. This is your chance to read through and let me know any changes or amends. I can include anything extra at this point that you may not have thought of and make sure it's absolutely perfect for your day.
Step 5 - Rehearsal
If you require a rehearsal, this will will be at your wedding venue or ceremony location. We can walk through the logistics and make any changes to music or the script at this point. This will put you both at ease ahead of your big day knowing everything is taken care of and you can relax, and enjoy!
Step 6 - Your Bespoke Ceremony
The day has finally arrived! I will be at your venue 30 minutes before the start time with everything set up. I will supply a copy of your vows, any readings, ritual resources (if included), keepsake certificates and a copy of your ceremony script to treasure forever. Let's get you married!
