Vow Renewals

Bespoke vow renewal ceremonies filled with soul, joy and connection

What to expect

01

Your love, celebrated all over again

A vow renewal is a chance to reconnect with the love that started it all and honour the beautiful journey you’ve shared.  Every detail of the ceremony will reflect your unique story, the values you hold dear and the love that’s continued to grow and flourish between you.

02

A heartfelt, intentional planning process

We’ll meet, talk and thoughtfully weave together the elements that speak to your hearts. Together, we’ll design a ceremony that’s deeply personal and meaningful, so that when the day comes, it will feel as natural and beautiful as the love you’re celebrating.

03

A ceremony filled with love, warmth and devotion

On the day, I’ll guide the ceremony with heartfelt warmth and reassuring energy, allowing you to be fully immersed in the moment and rediscover the magic of the vows you once shared.  It will be a time to reflect, honour and enjoy each other’s company.

A deeply meaningful opportunity to celebrate the love that’s only grown stronger over time. Whether it's a quiet, intimate moment or a grand celebration, I’ll help you create a ceremony that reflects the depth of your journey and commitment.

This isn’t just about repeating vows - it’s about celebrating everything you’ve built together, the challenges you have overcome together and the love that continues to blossom between you.

    Step 1: Getting to know you

    The first step is for me to hear your story - what your renewal means to you and how you would like to celebrate this incredible milestone.   We can chat face to face, online or over the phone and I will give you an indication of how much it will cost.

 FAQs

  • Absolutely! A vow renewal ceremony is all about you!  You can include whatever feels right for you, whether it’s personal vows, meaningful readings, special music or a symbolic action.  Why not plant a tree together somewhere meaningful?

  • Your vow renewal ceremony can take place anywhere that feels meaningful to you - from a beautiful outdoor location to the comfort of your home or a special venue.  A favourite beach, a leafy glen or the place you originally made your vows?  And when it comes to timing, we can choose any part of the day that works best for you - whether it’s a quiet morning or a golden hour celebration.

  • Don’t worry!  I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your love story.  We can explore all the options and I’ll guide you through the process to make sure it’s just right for you.

  • Of course!  If your furry friends are part of your journey, they can absolutely be included in the ceremony.  Whether it's walking down the aisle with you or something more creative, we can make it happen.  And did you know that dog chaperones are all the rage at ceremonies and I just happen to know a lovely one!

  • A vow renewal ceremony typically lasts between 30 and 40 minutes but we can adjust the length based on your preferences, your audience and what you would like to include.  It’s your day, so it should feel comfortable and perfect for you.
