If you’re seeking unusual wedding ceremony ideas that stand out for all the right reasons then you’ve come to the right place. I can create various bespoke written ceremony elements, suitable for any wedding (Register office, venue or church), as well as a legally-compliant full script for your Registrar-led ceremony. On my site you’ll find details of my original wedding readings; bespoke ‘Story so far’ and ‘The Why’ sections; unique wedding declarations, vows and ring exchanges; symbolic act writing and personalised well-wishing wedding poems. I also offer a wedding ceremony consultancy service – all the wedding ceremony inspiration you need in one place.

Whether you’re wanting unique wedding toast and speech ideas for a groom, bride, best man, father of the bride or another loved one then I can help. My bespoke wedding reception range includes everything from personalised wedding toasts written with one contributor’s words; to a mirror-image pair of original wedding speeches for a newly married couple; through to multi-part performance pieces presented by more than one speaker, all created to complement each other perfectly. You can choose who contributes to our writing, either using all your own words or including nominated family and friends. Wedding reception inspiration doesn’t come more varied than this.

I’ve been a professional writer for 14 years now and currently run 3 small bespoke writing businesses: Words and Wisdom (the versatile wedding and reception writing you’re reading about on this page), Portraits in Prose (innovative bespoke photo book texts) and Your Three Days (one-of-a-kind humanist ceremonies). I am a seasoned wedding Celebrant as well as creator of personalised wedding writing and so all my original wedding ceremony ideas and unique wedding reception ideas are based on real wedding experience gained with hundreds of different clients. If you’d like to, you can find out more about my other writing in the final question below.

I don’t have to be physically present at any point in this very flexible process, which means I can create original wedding ceremony and reception writing for anyone, anywhere, based in the UK or abroad. In the last 14 years I have worked for the widest range of clients imaginable, based all over the world, each looking for wedding vow, toast and speech ideas with which to enhance their own day. So, no matter where you live, if you’re interested in unusual wedding readings, non-traditional wedding vows or alternative wedding poems, do let me know. All that matters is that the beauty of bespoke writing appeals.

That really depends on what kind of personalised wedding vows, toasts or speeches I’m creating. You’ll find guide prices for my full range of unique wedding writing on my site, but the best way to get an accurate figure is for me to create a tailored quote. It will be influenced by 3 key factors: the length of the writing, the complexity of its structure and how many people are contributing. If time allows, flexible payment is possible, including 25% deposits and monthly instalments. I pride myself on trying to offer the highest quality wedding ceremony and reception ideas at an affordable price.

Yes, I certainly do. I write engaging Portraits in Prose which are bespoke texts you can use to create a delightful photo book celebrating your engagement, marriage or any of your anniversaries. I also design, write and lead exceptional Your Three Days humanist wedding ceremonies and vow renewals across Yorkshire, the Peak District and North West. All 3 of my sites are linked so you can easily move between them to find out more. Even if you aren’t necessarily seeking wedding ceremony or reception inspiration, there may be some other kind of beautiful bespoke writing of mine that you fall in love with.
