Initially, we will start with a phone call to explain a bit more about Kindred Ceremonies, my experiences and answer any questions you have. Choosing the right Celebrant is extremely important, and this way we can sense each others vibes, and you will know if I am the right Celebrant for you.
You will then be sent a list of questions to answer, to help me get to know you. Take your time answering these, there is no rush. We will then arrange to meet up, so I can get to know you both in person, and we can explore the questions further and discuss how you want the ceremony to be. Whilst completely open to any ideas you have, I can also offer guidance and ideas too if you want them.
The next step is for me to devise and write your ceremony, and I'll send you the script. We can edit and redraft the script via email and phone conversations, until you decide it is perfect. I'll be there at the rehearsal the day before if needed, and then of course on your wedding day to officiate your marriage.
Rituals - With experience in a variety of rituals, most popular being Handfasting (a Celtic ritual binding hands together with a ribbon or cord), Candle Lighting (in the memory of loved ones not able to attend), and Ring Warming (a ritual where each guest blesses the rings before they are exchanged), you can have your ceremony however you please. I have a vast knowledge of many rituals, and can include religious as well as non-religious rituals in the service too, and can help you to compose vows if needed.
Scripts - The script is a written document containing every part of your ceremony, from the moment you arrive until you leave as a married couple. My scripts are divided into titled sections, so you know exactly how the ceremony will run and what we will be doing in each part and why. I will send you a copy of the script via email, and we can re-draft if needed until it's perfect

Terms and Conditions
An initial deposit of $250 is required to secure the date and to start the process. This deposit is refundable at my discretion, depending on the amount of work that has already been carried out, and if any other loss of earning have occurred.
The full amount if $900 is required 2 weeks before the ceremony (and usually before the final draft of the script is sent out).
If people want a partial service rather then the full service listed above and on my website, we can negotiate the price depending on what you require.
