Wedding Celebrant Hire in Leigh on Sea

Amanda's Beautiful Ceremonies provides a modern award-winning quirky celebrant creating beautiful ceremonies that express your love in a way that says everything about you as a couple.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

For me to provide a comprehensive quote ideally I would need to know the year and date of the ceremony.
From this I can quote on the 3 different price packages I offer. Details of what type of ceremony a couple are looking for helps because there's flexibility to mix and match across packages.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Most importantly a couple needs to click or feel a connection with their celebrant as that relationship is key.
Make sure they understand the differences between independent celebrants and humanists because only independent celebrants offer both nonreligious and religious or interfaith ceremonies. Lastly ask about their professional training, insurance, and check out their reviews.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

I was inspired by an inspirational Celebrant at a family member's funeral. My why was to support families through all of life's celebrations and trained in all aspects. For various reasons I decided to specialise in weddings thus giving me the chance to give couples the personalised ceremonies they deserve on such a special moment in life. I create heartfelt, meaningful and sometimes funny quirky ceremonies based on the couple's right to choose exactly the sort of ceremony they dream of.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Wow! I've had so many great bookings here, ranging from a pirate-themed ceremony to some very traditional ceremonies. If I had to choose it would be a ceremony at the stunning Port Lympne Hotel and nature reserve, every wedding contributes to the work of the Aspinall foundation which I also support. A beautiful historic and unusual setting and the couple invited me to their pre-wedding meeting a few weeks before the ceremony and asked me to help them write their own vows. On the day it rained but we were able to delay the ceremony until it stopped, there were guest readers, and it was funny because at the start of the ceremony I had to warn the guests about what to do in case there was a wild animal escape. I often recommend Add to Event to fellow suppliers as it has been really beneficial for me to be a member!
