I'm Claire - I'm English, I live in North West, France and I'm a fully trained Professional Wedding Celebrant. I perform bespoke, English-speaking wedding ceremonies anywhere in France, or much further afield. I am calm and friendly and I work hard to be the ultimate professional and meticulously organised.
My background:
Before training as a Celebrant I had a long successful career in Practice Management and teaching professional adults. Public speaking and handling sensitive situations have always been integral to my work.
A few years ago I was invited to write and deliver speeches at several glorious ceremonies. It was such an honour and privilege to do so - it was also the eureka moment for me! I realised that I'd love to write and perform wedding ceremonies as a professional Celebrant. So, I trained and qualified with the International College of Professional Celebrants.
When we meet for our informal, relaxed consultations I'll get to know you and your story. We can get to know each other and begin the fun process of creating your perfect ceremony. From that moment, I will consult with you regularly whilst creating and shaping your bespoke wedding ceremony. It will be as unique as you are, reflecting your personalities and your choices. Your wedding ceremony will be truly yours.
My Celebrant fee includes the following:
• Planning meetings online - and getting to know you - usually starting a few months before the wedding
• Ideas and suggestions for readings, poems, vows, music where applicable
• Unlimited communications
• Writing of the master script for the Ceremony
• Writing of the vows – if applicable
• Presentation copy of ceremony certificate and vows
• Presentation copy of your ceremony script
• Early arrival on the day (at least 2 hours before the ceremony)
• I can bring my own wireless PA system, microphones and lecturn if required
• Performing your bespoke wedding Ceremony on your big day!
Ceremony fees start at 700 euros plus travel expenses. Please contact me for a quote - every wedding has different travel implications.
On the big day I'll arrive early and check-in with the main wedding party to make sure everyone is relaxed and ready for action......... and then I'll perform your very personal, unique wedding ceremony.
I believe you'll feel your ceremony is in safe hands, we'll have fun planning it together and hopefully you'll feel confident that I've captured your vision.
You are the priority on your Wedding Day, surrounded by your family and friends sharing your love and joy. I will lead a meaningful wedding ceremony which I will perform in English, with warmth, sincerity and fun. It will be my absolute pleasure to help bring an extra sparkle to your perfect Wedding Day by ensuring the ceremony is something to surprise and delight. Together, we can create unforgettable memories for you and your guests.
Claire
