Right from the initial phone call we knew Ruth was our lady, with her energy, enthusiasm, understanding, and wish to meet our needs.  She had great ideas, holding our hand every step of the way in thinking what we might like in the ceremony, and wrote a beautiful bespoke wedding ceremony script which was really personal to us, but also was really engaging with all the guests.  We had many comments afterwards from people saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to, and as a couple in our late 40's, our friends and us have been to many.  Thank you Ruth for making it so special!
Here's a picture of Ruth taking it her stride as the heavens decided to open 30 minutes before our ceremony. If you can't stop the rain, you might as well dance in it!

Ruth will give you a really personalised and unhurried experience to remember for the rest of your lives.

From the moment of booking she is there to guide you and trust me, with her attention to detail, you will be leaving nothing to chance.

She will personally write your wedding script which isn’t genetic, it’s about you as a couple. She liaises with all suppliers involved in the ceremony to ensure everyone knows exactly what they are doing and when.

We told Ruth how we would like our service to run and she ensured that everyone worked together to deliver it and I have to say it was perfect!

Thank you Ruth, our day wouldn’t have been the same without you, you obviously love what you do and that shines through.

A day we will never forget 💜

Love Beverley and Dave xxx

Ruth is an absolute delight and we felt an instant connection with her and knew she would be absolutely perfect to help us plan our vow renewal ceremony. Nothing was ever too much trouble or a silly question and this lovely lady thinks of every aspect of your big day, things you wouldn't even have thought of. Right down to the font type and font size of your vow card! She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple to help make your ceremony as personal as it can be. All our guests said how wonderful the ceremony was and we're so glad we found her.

We got so much more than just someone to preside over our ceremony, she stayed in contact throughout the planning process, liaised with all our suppliers to ensure a trouble free day and worked closely with us to craft a beautifully worded wedding script.
If you’re considering a celebrant for your big day, look no further, we got so much more than we ever expected and it made our day so much more special having the ceremony so personal. Thank you Ruth for helping to make our day so wonderful, you clearly love what you do and it shows. Truly wonderful experience.

Choosing Ruth to be our celebrant at our wedding 3 weeks ago was the best decision we ever made! She is simply the best! Planning our wedding from the states wasn’t easy but she made the process seamless! After countless FaceTime calls we finally met in person less than a week before the wedding and she immediately felt like family! She personalized our wedding ceremony beautifully with so many special moments that my husband and I will remember forever. Her words and her presence are truly magical! We will be forever grateful to have met such a beautiful person!

So many of our guests remarked at how personal our ceremony was and how it felt like Ruth had known us for ages, and that really is a testament to her dedication in getting to know her couples and their love story. She was always available to talk through any ideas, concerns, and questions we had, and had many suggestions to give when we were unsure and needed guidance. We would 100% recommend Ruth if you are looking for a celebrant for any occasion if you are looking for that personal touch.

Thank you so much, Ruth, for making our day so special!

From the moment we met her we knew she would make our day the most special and memorable experience. She has so much love, care and attention to detail that we felt completely relaxed and excited for everyone to witness our personal ceremony. Her ability to entwine both our lives, families and love into words was beautiful. All our guests loved the uniqueness and fun that came with a personalised ceremony and Ruth’s energy on the day (despite the heat!) was contagious! We could not have asked for anyone better, she is the best and we would encourage everyone to snap her up whilst you can! We will treasure her words and memories of our day forever. Thank you so much Ruth for making our day far more beautiful than we ever imagined. Love the Wests xx

From the moment we met you at Martels, flying off on your broomstick, we knew that we had met a very special lady. The time you spent getting to know us was invaluable and your humour and passion for making our day unique was overwhelming. Your ability to make us feel relaxed throughout, from our first meet up through to the day itself, was such a support, which every couple on their Wedding Day would wish for.

We knew already how you would make our day wonderful and this was confirmed by all our friends and family commenting that “they’d never experienced a wedding service quite so extraordinary”; with not a dry eye in the gardens of Leez Priory!

As well as being utterly professional in every way you could feel how passionate she was about making our day as magical as could be. Her personality is infectious and everyone at our wedding waxed lyrical about how amazing she was. From our very first meeting to our wedding she guided us every step of the way and created the perfect script for our ceremony, she honestly made our day so special. Thank you Ruth!

We found her so easy to work with & she was happy to deal with our quirky requests. The ceremony was fantastic & we could not have wanted more from her. All our guests were delighted by her & many thought we had been friends for a number of years. She made us all relax and conducted a wonderful ceremony with audience participation. We could not have asked for more. We would love to use her again if we had a chance
