Where is that special somewhere that you are both drawn to? Or would you like a change of location to create a joyful, memorable and an amazing experience?
If the answer to all those questions is yes then why not have a destination wedding. Telling your family and friends that you are engaged, and you are going to an idyllic destination…… Now that makes for a fairytale wedding. Just imagine all the excitement - your wedding and honeymoon all taken care of!
In my humble opinion a destination wedding gives a sense of freedom. There are no expectations only the ones that you have of what you want your wedding to look like. So, whether that's in a castle in Spain, on a cliff in Portugal or one of those French Chateaux you have seen on Emily In Paris, the location will become a part of your story.

Is there a destination in the world
Is there a destination in the world that resonates with you?
I'm extremely lucky to have conducted destination weddings in (so far) France, India, Italy, Kenya, Portugal, Spain and Wales and I'm also a recommended celebrant at the Mandarin Oriental Canouan, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Working with those couples it was clear to me that they wanted their ceremony to be authentic, meaningful and beautifully aligned with their surroundings. Every destination carries it's own charm and nuance, it's own heart and rhythm. Your story will bring your own elements of these attributes and together we can create a ceremony that honours both you and your chosen destination.
I always advise my couples to complete the legal formalities in their home town. That way, when you get to your idyllic location, you can enjoy your celebrant-led ceremony to the full without any worries or constraints of legal requirements.
So, whether you are planning something small, something understated or something bigger, I'll ensure that you have the ceremony of your dreams, in the location of your dreams, surrounded by those you love.
It will be a day that you, and your guests will treasure long after the journey home.

I’m often asked many questions by couples who are looking for a personalised and memorable destination wedding ceremony.
Below are some of the most common questions I receive, along with answers to help you understand how I can make your wedding day as special and unique as your love story.
A destination wedding is a wedding that takes place away from your home location, often in another country or region that holds meaning for you. For many couples, it’s an opportunity to combine their wedding and travel into one unforgettable experience, surrounded by their loved ones.
Yes, and this is one of the most popular and stress-free options for couples planning a destination wedding.
My advice to couples is to complete the legal formalities at home and then enjoy a fully personalised, celebrant-led ceremony abroad. This approach offers complete creative freedom and removes the need to navigate unfamiliar legal systems while overseas.
A celebrant-led destination wedding ceremony is usually symbolic rather than legal, which is why many couples complete the legal registration in their home country first. This allows the destination ceremony to focus entirely on meaning, emotion, rituals, and celebration.
- Less stress and fewer logistical constraints
- Freedom to choose any location they love
- More time to be present and enjoy the experience
- A ceremony that truly reflects who they are
It also allows couples to create an intimate legal moment, followed by a joyful destination celebration with family and friends.
- Crafting a bespoke ceremony script
- Incorporating rituals, readings, and music
- Ensuring the ceremony flows beautifully within the setting
- Collaborating with wedding planners and suppliers
My role is to hold the emotional centre of the day, so everything feels grounded, meaningful, and natural.
I have conducted destination weddings in France, India, Italy, Kenya, Portugal, Spain, Wales, and beyond, and I regularly work with couples planning weddings across Europe and internationally.
Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with wedding planners who specialise in destination weddings. Working together ensures the ceremony complements the wider vision for the day and fits seamlessly into the overall schedule and guest experience.
Planners value having a celebrant who understands destination logistics, timelines, and the importance of creating an emotionally resonant moment within a larger celebration.
It’s ideal to book your celebrant once you’ve chosen your destination and date, even if the finer details are still evolving. This allows time to thoughtfully shape the ceremony and ensure it reflects both the location and your story as a couple.
Very much so. For many couples, the destination ceremony becomes the most emotionally powerful part of their wedding experience. Without legal constraints, you have complete freedom to focus on connection, intention, ritual, and joy.
The best place to begin is a conversation. We’ll talk about your destination, your vision, and what matters most to you. From there, we’ll shape a ceremony that feels authentic, personal, and completely you.
