Jenny & Will Hemsley (Chateau Wedding)
"We found it hard at first to decide whether or not we wanted to use a celebrant at all for our service in France, but we have to say that we are certainly very glad that we did. You helped to create exactly the right structure and level of formality for our ceremony, with almost everyone at the wedding commenting on what a lovely service it was and how it was perfect for us as a couple. Being able to write our own vows and help form our own ceremony meant a lot to us, and your advice and guidance from France helped to keep us on the right track - we couldn't have asked for anything better for our day".

Claire & Lee (Vow Renewal in a beautiful French Village)
"Thank you for making us feel that we were in the hands of an experienced celebrant who gave our small gathering the shape and form we wanted to formalise our feelings. Your suggestions and small, personalised surprises helped make the day so moving. All our guests commented that they felt a connection to the ceremony and that they were part of it. Because of your sensitivity, genuine sense of romance and understanding of the flow of events, our day was everything we hoped for. For that we will always be greatful and think of you."

A few more of our couples .......
Rachel & Paul Summers
A couple who decided to revisit the French chateau where Paul proposed to Rachel, to share a relaxed wedding blessing ceremony with just their closest family and friends.
" Having left ourselves only about a month to make arrangements, Colin made the process very easy, as we were able to arrange our French blessing from the UK via email. His relaxed manner and his options of a variety of poems and readings meant that we felt our service was tailored to us specifically. He made time to find out about us as a couple and our history together, personalising the celebration ceremony further. We had a very relaxed and happy day in beautiful surroundings with great weather to top it off.... We don't think you could have done any better ".
Ksenia Khramova & Maxim Khramov
This adventurous young Russian couple wanted a unique ceremony that they could one day tell their grand children about. They travelled over 3000 km from Moscow for their wedding ceremony, which took place on the Great Dune du Pylar (the largest sand dune in Europe).
Planner: Jarretiere in the Air
"Hope you're fine. So we're at home at last... to begin our married life :-) Maxim and I would like to thank you for your commitment to our wedding day! ... The ceremony was exactly what we wanted!!!! ... Once again thanks for everything!"
Jason & Kerry Crockford
A couple who have travelled the world wanted a wedding with true French style. They entertained guests in a stunning French chateau, had a non-religious wedding in the spectacular setting of the Abbey Church of St Marie and departed their wedding ceremony in a romantic horse and carriage.
Aimee & Steven Taft
A truly romantic wedding ceremony held in a private chapel in the grounds of one of the Dordogne's finest chateaux. The thought of this moving personal ceremony will evoke strong emotions and leave lasting memories for years to come.
Charlotte & Liam Lyne
A perfect wedding experience. Family and friends travelled from Ireland to enjoy a few days relaxing in the sunshine and getting to know each other better before the wedding day. The ceremony was held outdoors in the beautiful gardens of the chateau. The couple walked down a red carpet to a stunning flower arch, whilst the guests waited in the warn afternoon sunshine. A cocktail reception followed the ceremony and the evening wedding feast was set in the open air, against the backdrop of the chateau, with soft music, candles and moonlight. ..What could be more romantic?
