Hello there, I’m John, the Southville Celebrant, a Bristol-based wedding celebrant who loves to help create tailor-made uniquely memorable wedding ceremonies.
The best wedding ceremonies really set the tone for the day and absolutely get the celebration started. With a celebrant ceremony there are no restrictions as to what is included, the shape and content is completely up to you. Your wedding day is one of those huge days in life and I'd love to support you and help create a ceremony which reflects you and your personalities.
You may have some firm ideas, you may want guidance and suggestions, either way I’ll work with you to help create an unforgettable ceremony. Let's work together to create your big day, exactly the way you want it.
Getting to know each couple, so that we can create a ceremony to truly reflect who you are, is the best part of my job. The more we get to know each other the better the ideas start to flow back and forth. There are so many ways to involve family and friends, and I love exploring weddings traditions and rituals, suggesting elements so that you have a ceremony to remember.
We're really lucky as we have so many great wedding venues on the doorstep, Whether you're looking for a funky city-centre setting, an elegant Georgian backdrop or a rustic countryside location there is such great choice in and around Bristol.
I've worked with quite the variety of venues - glamping in Somerset, villas in Clifton, converted churches, even a Cornish clifftop - and love to create a ceremony to really make the best of the setting.
We loved having John as our celebrant! We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to officiate our wedding
Not only did he do a fantastic job on the day, but from the first consultation we felt listened to and in good hands. From the first phone call to the day itself, John was knowledgeable, professional and personable.
The ceremony was beautifully delivered - touching, funny and personal in all the right places. He has an excellent way with words and wonderfully captured the story of our relationship. All our guests commented on what an excellent job he did, and how skilfully he communicated to such a diverse congregation of guests.
We genuinely cannot recommend John enough, he is brilliant.
Including a handfasting as part of wedding ceremony allows lots of creative scope to include family and friends and give them an active role in your celebration. Take two minutes and find out more...
I'll be delighted to find out more about your wedding plans, whether you're in Bristol or further afield. Drop me a line and we'll find a time for an initial chat about things.
