Frequently asked questions

Will you write the service for me?

Yes of course!! I love writing personalised, bespoke ceremonies based on your love story. You can have as much input as you want and I will add my own special touches as well!

Can we write our own ceremony or vows?

Yes of course!! I encourage my couples to write their own vows and promises, and I can give expert guidance if you prefer to write the whole darned thing (I did this at my wedding and my celebrant loved it!).

Do you cater for LGBTQ+ weddings?

Absolutely!! I cater for all types of wedding and I look forward to helping you create the most amazing LGBTQ+ wedding!

Do you cater for multi-faith weddings?

Heck YES I do! The beauty of having a celebrant lead your wedding ceremony means that we can intertwine any and all faiths and beliefs.

Do you need to meet us before the wedding day?

It's always useful for us to meet in person to get a celebrant / couple connection vibe type thing that will be evident on the day of the wedding and make the ceremony seem more laid back and fun... As if I'm marrying friends of mine. I offer face to face chats and telephone chats.

What do your prices start at?

My prices start from £450 during the winter/autumn months and start from £550 during the spring/summer.

How far in advance should I book you?

I can be booked as far in advance as you'd like and I'm usually also available should you require a celebrant at the last minute.

About Beth Whaley Celebrant & Ceremonies

I have conducted weddings all over the country and abroad and have a great passion for my work, and those that I meet. Your personalised ceremony is delivered in a heartfelt, sincere manner and is filled with love, laughter, and sentiment.

Being a celebrant is the most rewarding job I have ever had and I'm committed to making sure your day goes exactly the way you want. With my guidance, your ceremony will not only be beautiful, but it will also be memorable and unique. Unlike traditional ceremonies, each ceremony I write is exclusive to YOU! There are no restrictions in terms of the content, format or style of a wedding, and can be completely personalised.

If you are getting married (CONGRATS!), I will be on hand to guide you every step of the way and ensure that your day is the best, most magical, chilled, unique and fun, yet remaining perfectly choreographed and exactly the way you want it.

I currently offer a bespoke package from £450 which includes:

• No obligation initial chat over the phone or facetime to see if you like me first!
• A face to face meeting to get to know you both and plan your ceremony (or online if preferred)
• Preparation of your ceremony and chance for you to view the draft/s
• Provision of all materials – poems, readings etc – including a selection of vows, wording & ideas
• Wedding ceremony rehearsal (add. fee)
• Provision of materials such as sand, candles or rope for rituals (add. fee)
• Coordination and control of your ceremony on the big day
• Use of my professional PA system and microphone for your ceremony (if outside)
• Your own copy of the wedding script and commemorative certificate as a keepsake

We hit the jackpot when Beth agreed to conduct our wedding ceremony. Beth's kindness, warmth and energy shone through every step of the way. We felt completely informed in the build up to the big day, and we didn't stop smiling throughout the entire ceremony.

It was so apparent how much Beth truly cared about us and our love story and worked tirelessly to ensure every single detail was included in some way (including a beautiful heartfelt tribute to my late mum with a candle-lighting moment of reflection).

Beth is - hands down - the best celebrant you could ever wish for. She is gentle, warm, caring and compassionate and EXACTLY the type of person you would want to stand by you on some of the biggest and most emotionally-charged days of your life. Beth has the biggest heart, and we are so grateful that she agreed to marry us.

I was totally wowed by Beth when I photographed a wedding in Didcot. It was a rainy grey day but Beth lit up the room with her upbeat tone and wonderful accent. I have witnessed so many services in my 19 years as a wedding photographer but hands down hers was the best! Everyone could feel she loved her job and she brought joy to the whole service :-)

Beth made both of us feel at ease from the word go. Her relaxed approach and instant charisma had us laughing together within minutes and the fun never stopped all the way through.

After deciding to go for a celebrant within weeks of our wedding, we assumed it would be a tall order to get everything organised and to have a really personalised ceremony which we were happy with would be a tall order - we couldn't have been more wrong.

Beth made it easy for us to share with her all about the story of how we met and how we got engaged, with all sorts of details finding their way into the words said on the day.

Although there wasn't even time for us to meet in person before the day itself, we knew we were in good hands even after our first call, and having a good vibe with someone is what it's all about.

It only took a couple of calls and emails to share further details, and Beth was very accessible, whatever the medium, for any further questions we might have had.

On the big day her warm smile and reassuring words ("It's going to be fun!") was a great comfort when we met only a little while before the big moment, certainly helping with the nerves.

Not only do you get a fantastic, bespoke service, but there are thoughtful and beautiful momentos as part of it, including a record of what was said.

Overall, Beth is everything we could have hoped for in a celebrant, and after getting to know her it's clear she does what she does for the love of bringing people together and sharing their stories.

You couldn't find a better person to make your big day as special as it should be, and if that isn't enough, she has a fantastic accent.
