Penny Bayley Celebrant
Let me captivate you and your guests
By creating an amazing ceremony, filled with love and laughter. One that is utterly personal, thoughtfully reflective and above all memorable.
Lets share your story, how and where you met, what you both admire, respect and love about each other.
We can make your ceremony as long or as short as you’d like. We can include readings, or poems, vows and ring exchanges. We can include members of your family or friends, even pets if that’s what you want!
The sky really is the limit. Or we can make it super simple, elegant and romantic.
“Penny made our ceremony completely about us in the way we wanted”
“Penny managed to balance the joy, love, fun and excitement that we wanted to share with our guests”
Why choose me...
Your wedding ceremony is one of the most important parts of your day – I can help make it one of the most magical and memorable parts of your day.
I can help you choose your music – don't forget to match the beat to your pace as you come up the aisle, and the quicker beat for the whoop whooping pace as you go back down the aisle!
I can also help with your readings or poems, and even your vows.
We can include your family or friends, we can add in a symbolic ritual – we can even blow bubbles instead of confetti – you name it and together we can make it happen.
And don’t forget I will be there with you on the day, giving a warm welcome to your guests, settling a few nerves, leaving you both free to relax and simply enjoy your day and make some magical memories.
The words we use will speak from the heart, they will stay with you entwined in your wonderful memories of your day.
Hello, I'm Penny
My favourite ceremony is where you feel relaxed, chilled and are simply focused on enjoying your special day. I love working with you to create a ceremony that reflects your personalities and blows the socks off your guests!
I am professional, reliable, the most organised person I know and I love a list!
I pay attention to all the little details that can make the big difference. I can help you plan, and on the day will be there to help steady your nerves and make sure your ceremony goes without a hitch.
"Penny is so easy to talk to, she listens and picks up on key words, and then works her magic to design and create such wonderful suggestions"
I will craft your story inspired by what you have told me.
Your ceremony is written exclusively for you, you choose what makes it perfect for you.
I will translate your words into a ceremony that is stylish and elegant full of carefully chosen words that will delight and stay with you.
So what happens when you book me?
Want to decide if I'm the right celebrant for you? No worries.
Before you make any commitment, lets catch up either over zoom, face to face, or email - whatever works for you.
Once you've decided, lets meet up at your venue if we can - the coffees on me. If not zoom can work as well.
This is where we will work through your ceremony structure and style. We will chat through all your details, what you'd love to include and what you want to leave out. Who you'd like to include and perhaps who you wouldn't!
What ever it takes to make your ceremony truly amazing, you can make it as elaborate as you want or we can keep it super simple.
Then comes the extra fun bit - I will send you a questionnaire that tells me everything about you as a couple, where you met, how your proposal happened. You can throw in some funny stories, some heart warming tales about your adventures, anything that will help make your love story come to life.
I'll use all of that lovely information to create a ceremony draft that you can tweak to your hearts content, until you are completely and utterly happy that together we have captured your love story just the way you want.
If you are struggling with your vows, I will support you with some suggestions. If you need some guidance with finding the right readings, I can help you think of poems, song lyrics or quotes from films that will help.
You have unlimited access to me right up until your special day. I only ever book one ceremony per day, so I'm completely focused on you.
Then on the day, I will arrive well ahead of your guests. I'll check in with the venue host, liaise with other suppliers if need be and make sure your music is ready. I'll see you both before the ceremony for a final check in, and if all the wedding preparation is taking longer than planned - don't worry, I'm not rushing off anywhere.
I'll be there to give a warm welcome to your guests, and then its the bit you've been waiting for.
I'll deliver your dream ceremony, with all the personalised elements we have created together. And don't worry about where to stand or what to say, I will be guiding you through it all.
Leaving you worry and stress free to relax, be chilled and just enjoy making those magical moments that you and your guests will treasure.
And then, big breath, the magic starts..
