David Hodgson, Wedding Celebrant in Kent

About David Hodgson

I specialise in conducting wedding, renewal of vows and civil partnership ceremonies. My approach involves working closely with couples to create personalised ceremonies that reflect their interests and personalities. Each ceremony is crafted to ensure a unique and memorable event for the couple and their guests. Working with couples from the outset, we collaborate on creating a ceremony which reflects who they really are including personal music, readings & even religious elements if desired.

I am an inspirational, experienced and reliable independent wedding celebrant who has the vision and track record of transforming ideas into a unique, personal & never to be forgotten wedding ceremony that will live forever in the memories of couples and guests alike.

I meet with couples either online or in person in a series of sessions to get to know each other and share ideas. I listen to existing ideas and discuss how these can be further developed also adding my own insights gained from designing and delivering hundreds of wedding ceremonies.

I develop a first draft of a wedding ceremony script which is further refined during subsequent meetings. During this part of our collaboration, we can work on drafting any individual vows you may wish to make. I aim to meet couples online and in person if possible to build up the content of the ceremony, discuss options and length and mark out how it will look on the day.

On the actual day of the ceremony, I arrive at the wedding venue in good time, liaising with the events team, Registrars (if present) and sound people to ensure the event will run seamlessly and am available to mingle with wedding guests both before and after the ceremony if that is desirable.

Achieving a never to be forgotten experience for couples and guests alike is my primary mission; enabling couples to experience the magic of a personalised wedding ceremony is truly an honour and a privilege.
