What types of ceremonies do I perform? I have written and performed weddings of all types from the most formal occassions to casual weddings, sometimes with only the couple and their witnesses. Some different ways you can personalise your ceremony include- - Candle-lighting ceremonies
- Medieval ceremonies
- Sharing of wine
- Dove release
- Handfasting
- Sword ceremony
- Inclusion of children of the couple
- Use of symbols which are personal to the couple
Whatever you want, together we can craft a ceremony to include your ideas and wishes. Committment ceremonies for those couples who want to publicly declare their relationship. Without the formality of the traditional legal vows, these can include many creative ideas from the couple involved, and take place in varied settings- from your own home to a place that is special to you as a couple. Often couples on a signifigant wedding anniversary wish to recommit themselves to honour their relationship. These often include readings and memories from children and other family and friends. Photos and other symbols from your shared life may be included. A time to formally welcome a new life into your world and give friends and family a chance to show care and concern for a new child. Vows from parents and others involved in the child's life, symbolic welcoming gifts from other children, naming candles; there are so many ways to personalise the naming ceremony. Saying goodbye to a loved one, celebrating their life and achievements, grieving for your loss. Music, photos, memories from friends and relatives often form part of this service. - Celebrations of all types-
Maybe a special commemoration, or a celebration of a new phase of your life- any of these can have a special ceremony created to mark these milestones in your life. Some occasions may include- healing ceremonies, transition ceremonies, celebration of special occassions such as graduations, divorce, anniversary, new job, return from overseas.. and many more occasions.
