About Fab Ceremonies

I create tailor-made wedding ceremonies to reflect and celebrate the story of your love and commitment to each other.
From the Fabulous and Traditional to the Fabulously Unconventional Wedding Ceremony.

I will create a ceremony that shouts out who you are. Weddings and Vow Renewals that have your stamp on them.
From religious in content through to fully non-religious celebrations of love. I have the knowledge, training, experience, and insurance to offer a whole range of fabulous ceremonies.

"I have been talking for a living for over 25 years" is what I say when asked what I do. I studied Theology at university, and I am very interested in all forms of spirituality and celebrating the human spirit in all of its expressions of love.
I have been a teacher and university lecturer. Working in places such as The House of Commons, Fleet Street, and Boarding Schools, and traveling all over the world to speak at events means I bring a rich wealth of experience and expertise to your ceremony.

I am a member of the Institute of Professional Celebrants and am fully insured to officiate at your ceremony.

Although I live in Liverpool, I am originally from the South East. I love traveling! So I will gladly travel to your venue wherever it is!
My website will give you an idea of my character and style. Whatever your style and personality, Fab Ceremonies will create a ceremony that is unique to you.

Typical Clients

Gary, at Fab Ceremonies, delivers bespoke wedding ceremonies that champion your love for each other!

My clients come from all over the UK and there is no 1 typical client or wedding style. I have been asked to officiate at very traditional style wedding ceremonies and, this year I was privileged to be the celebrant at a Harry Potter themed wedding! I love all styles of wedding ceremony.

Hand- fantastic!

Gary was amazing! The ceremony was perfectly written packed with humour, sensitivity and sentiment. His rapport with the "audience" of guests was great. He connected with everyone and the handfasting part of the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I would totally recommend Fab Ceremonies. My Bride & Groom were over the moon with their ceremony and a happy client makes a happy planner. So glad I found Gary for them.

Just brilliant

Gary and Fab ceremonies did the most amazing Job from first contact and sending out questionnaires for us both to fill In to a handwritten custom made speech that was delivered on our ceremony. Lots of jokes and added some humour which was funny. Thank you so much for everything, it was amazing, highly recommend!

An upbeat and personal service!

Our wedding day was outdoors and extremely windy! Gary made every effort to make sure that all of our guests were able to hear him. The service delivered was personal to our story, it was upbeat and got several laughs from the guests! We’re thoroughly happy with the service! Thanks so much Gary!

Brilliant Ceremony!

Gary gave an amazing ceremony at our wedding. It was personal, and professional and very memorable! Lots of wedding guests commented on how enjoyable it was. Gary was easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding. We would highly recommend him if you are looking for a celebrant.

Not much thought or effort went into our Ceremony.

Communication wise, he was sending all relevant info to the wrong email address even though I’d messaged him from mine previously. We spoke to him once via zoom, then a few text messages, and then I rang him the day before the wedding as we hadn’t heard from him to double check he had all the right information. This goes against the receipt of what we paid for which was two meetings over a coffee, a Skype call to go over the ceremony, and a rehearsal trip to the venue. This never happened. He never tried to organise this with us. And it showed throughout the Ceremony. Gary obviously didn’t put time or effort into our Ceremony as we received our script 4 days prior to the wedding. Everything was last minute. He didn’t make us feel special.

Thank you for your review, it has helped me to identify areas of Fab Ceremonies that can be improved. Like all reviews, positive as well as negative, it is very subjective, one sided and a bit polarised. It is worth pointing out that I spent as much time, thought and effort on your lovely ceremony as I do on all of my ceremonies, which receive 5* reviews. On reflection, I think booking me 5 weeks prior to your ceremony possibly made it seem rushed from your perspective and we did not build as much rapport as would normally be the case. Yes, the email issue was the major cause of delay, which was most regrettable, but you did mention that others had had similar problems with your email too. But once sorted everything was done with good time. Again, it is worth pointing out that you were both asked to read and agree everything prior to the ceremony and I have your emails in which you express your pleasure and agreement with the ceremony content, no clarification was necessary the day before as we had already clarified. Concerning meeting in person prior to the event, all ceremonies in 2020 and 2021 have had to be arranged remotely due to the pandemic. However, I have now added a clause to my terms and conditions to cover such circumstances in the future. Your ceremony was beautiful and it was a privilege to be with you all on your wedding day. I am so sorry that you were not 100% happy with your ceremony, but i am glad we were able to come to an agreement to resolve your displeasure. I do thank you both again for choosing me as your celebrant and I wish you all happiness for your future together.

What a wonderful celebrant!

Gary was an incredible celebrant who added so much to our Wedding. Planning a Wedding during Covid was always going to be a challenge, but throughout it all Gary was a joy to work with. Multiple Zoom conversations to produce the most perfect, personalised ceremony. Gary captured the perfect blend of humour and sentiment. He even got on board with our subtle theme. Our guests all loved him, but most important of all - he got us, knew what we wanted the day to be and knocked it out of the park. Thanks Gary - you are a star!
