FAQs

Mainly, the people we trained with to be honest and that independents will perform religious elements if you ask them to. I will absolutely include any religious or cultural elements if important to you, and can introduce a loved one to lead the religious element.

£650 for my script-only package. I have 3 packages and all pricing is transparently placed on my website.

Yes I get to know you, your relationship and what’s important to you to then be able to write your ceremony service from scratch. We design the ideas and structure of what to include together and I guide you the whole way to make the decisions that feel right for you.

You can absolutely write your own vows (which I encourage) and parts of the ceremony as you wish. I can guide you with my experience and knowledge of what tends to work best to get the outcome you want and have particular guidance I can share for shaping personal vows. The script is yours so whatever I write you have full ownership of any I will redraft until you’re happy.

Nothing ‘has’ to be included in a celebrant ceremony - it’s a creative canvas of your choosing!

Absolutely, I'm passionate about every human being getting the ceremony, treatment and service they deserve. You can see my diversity, equality and inclusion policy in the footer on my website.

Yes. Although I’ll never lead an act of worship, I can absolutely design the ceremony to include elements of your faith or culture to be led by members of your friends, family, or community.

Yes we need to spend time together so I can get to know you well enough to design a write your personal ceremony. We can do this by video call if easier for you, but where possible, I enjoy meeting you in person and having a good giggle :)

I get booked up 12-18 months in advance, so the sooner the better!

Not at the moment, although keep an eye on the law reform which is being discussed by government currently.

Our Sustainability Commitments

At Ceremonies by Zadie, sustainable practices are prioritised wherever possible, including digital-first planning, minimal printed materials, and encouraging eco-friendly ceremony choices. We happily support venues and suppliers with strong sustainability values and welcome couples who want to create celebrations that tread lightly on the planet.

Commitment to LGBTQIA+ Couples

At Ceremonies by Zadie, I believe every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that feels completely and unapologetically like them. Love doesn't come in one shape, one story or one tradition, and neither should your ceremony. My role is to get to know you, understand what matters most to you as a couple, and create a celebration that reflects your relationship, your personalities and your values. Every ceremony is written from scratch, so there are no templates, assumptions or one-size-fits-all approaches. From our very first chat, I want you to feel relaxed, listened to and genuinely excited about the process. This is your space to be yourselves, share your story and celebrate your relationship in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. Whether you're planning something joyful and playful, deeply emotional, beautifully understated or completely outside the box, I'll work alongside you to create a ceremony where you feel welcomed, supported and celebrated for exactly who you are. At the heart of everything I do is creating one-of-a-kind ceremonies that are undeniably you, and that will always include making sure every couple feels respected, valued and able to celebrate their love with confidence.
