Delivering an utterly unique, stand-out ceremony - every, single, time...

Weddings

You’re here because you want your wedding to be elevated from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Goodbye ‘middle of the road’ and hello wow factor! I can deliver your stand-out ceremony through my creative writing, delivery and storytelling. Your wedding should be a reflection of you - both individually and as a couple.
 

Thinking of a destination wedding, but don’t know where to start?

I specialise in the gorgeous Garfagnana region of North Tuscany (often described as Italy’s hidden gem – see picture!) and can speak Italian... but wherever and whatever your dream ceremony entails, we can make it a reality. Have passport, can travel! We’ll chat through all the possibilities and I’ll also help you with the legals here within the UK. Let’s make it happen!.

What’s your vision of the big day?

Traditional or unconventional? Fun-filled or something a little bit out there?

Whatever it is, I’ll get to know your wants and wishes and will create something that perfectly reflects you. There are no limits to imagination. Let’s set the bar as high as the Eiffel Tower and make it memorable. Let it be ‘that wedding’ that friends and family talk about for years to come!

Hi, I’m Anita

For me, it’s an absolute privilege to play such an integral part on your special day - not just as your celebrant but also as a confidant, guide and problem solver! I’m friendly, professional, fun-loving, creative, compassionate, imaginative and generally unflappable! I’ll be your oasis of calm amidst what can be a stressful time.

I will listen to your needs, wishes and dreams and using my wealth of skills and experience, create a ceremony filled full of joy, humour and love. Want memorable? You’ve got it. Want something original? Yep, I’m on it. Want me to create a haka dance for your rugby-mad groom-to-be during the ceremony? No problem! The content of your big day is only bound by the stretch of imagination.

Working together we will create an unforgettable ceremony that reflects you and your world, and one that will be remembered for years to come.

Ceremony prices for 2024 start from £750 – please check for availability. Bookings for 2025 start from £795.

Rehearsals

We’re all different...and I appreciate that some of you may need a little reassurance before the big day by going through a rehearsal. This is also an opportunity to include other family members or friends who have a role within the ceremony. Sometimes a venue can’t accommodate a rehearsal, but that’s not a problem! We can come up with another solution and find somewhere else. The cost of a rehearsal is £75 plus mileage if over 15 miles away from Harrogate.

Framed Services

After the event...is your heart still fluttering over the Groom’s speech? Eye’s still watering over the words read by the Father of the Bride? Lovage Ceremonies have the perfect keepsake for you – your chosen speech printed and finished off in a classic white, wooden frame and finished off with a die-cut heart.

Framed Wedding Speech Print - £55 or x2 for £95

If you have included hand-tying as part of your wedding ceremony, we can also frame your hand-tying cord, together with your names and the date of your ceremony.
Framed Wedding Hand-tying cord - £75
