​
Mileage is charged at 50p/mile if over 10 miles out of Harrogate. I If extensive travelling is required, then train/taxi and accommodation costs may incur.
​
Rehearsals are not usually needed, as my scripts are loaded with stage directions, and I will be there, smiling and guiding you through everything, effortlessly on the day. However, if your ceremony is complicated in any way, or you just want some practise to alleviate any nerves, then I am happy to go through a full rehearsal with you either on site at the ceremony venue, or somewhere else if the venue can't accommodate a rehearsal.. The cost of a rehearsal is £50 plus mileage if over 15 miles away from Harrogate.
Script Writing
​
If your wedding is overseas and you don’t have the budget to take me with you, I can offer a bespoke wedding script writing service, which is £700. This includes all of the above apart from officiating the actual ceremony, and the script - which will be delivered in digital format for you to print.

​
Will you travel?
I live in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, so mainly conduct humanist wedding ceremonies in and around Harrogate, Knaresborough, Wetherby, Ripon, Leeds, York, Skipton and Bolton Abbey, Ilkley and The Yorkshire Dales. I'm also happy to travel to Northumberland, up to around the Durham and Newcastle areas. There are some amazing venues - so many to choose from and I never tire of finding fabulous new venues to work at - whether they are indoor or outdoor! In fact, have a look at my links page, where I have listed some of my favourites in Yorkshire.
If you like the look of what I am offering but live outside of Yorkshire, it's no problem at all. I am used to traveling all over the UK and overseas for work, so would be happy to chat through your plans and give you a quote.

This is what Beccy and Olly said about their ceremony:
"What can I say? We had the absolute best day of our lives and you started it all! From our first meeting we knew you would do a good job after watching you take so many notes and asking questions to really make us think. When we received the script we were blown away by how well you'd captured us as individuals but also our relationship.
You were absolutely amazing on the day despite blenders breaking down and a power cut, you kept everyone calm and stayed in control. Olly said you helped descramble his brain and you prepared us both so well for the occasion.
You delivered the ceremony so beautifully, directed us well and even rolled with the heckles from the guests - this absolutely made it for us that they felt so involved and comfortable enough to do so!
Everyone has said how wonderfully personal the ceremony was and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. Thank you for all of your suggestions, the unity candle, sharing the drink and the readings were perfect!
​
Rachael, you're a credit to your profession and we honestly can't thank you enough!" - Beccy and Olly, Hooton Pagnell Hall wedding, Doncaster, 2022
