Elopements: Follow the Moon & Your Heart!

Elopement Ceremonies

For Couples Who Know What They Want

You don't need a hundred people watching. You don't need a venue with a minimum spend or a timetable booked out two years in advance. You need a moment that's completely and utterly yours, with all the meaning and none of the noise.

An elopement ceremony with me is exactly that.

Whether you're heading to a wildflower Welsh headland, a stone circle at dawn, a favourite corner of a forest or a beach you've loved for years, I'll create a ceremony that makes the most of every single moment.

What's Included

Elopements are intimate by nature, but that doesn't mean they're light on intention. Everything I create is as considered and personal as any full wedding ceremony.

  • A free, no-obligation initial meeting (video or in-person)
  • Complete flexibility on location: indoor, outdoor, coastal, ancient, remote
  • A personalised ceremony script built from your love story
  • Continued contact via email or WhatsApp group to keep ideas flowing
  • Your choice of ritual element
  • Coordination with any witnesses, photographer or other contributors
  • Script review and approval before the day
  • A digital copy of your ceremony script to keep forever

Where Can We Do This?

Anywhere you love. That's entirely the point.

South West Wales is extraordinary for elopements. We have ancient coastline, bluestone landscapes, magical waterfalls and remote moorland that feels like nowhere else on earth.

But the whole of the UK is yours. Cornish clifftops. Scottish highlands. A wild Welsh forest. A stone circle at dawn. If you've already found your place, I'm in. If you're still searching, I can help with that too.

Have you thought of eloping to your favourite festival? 

I also travel abroad. If your dream is to elope somewhere sun-soaked and spectacular, let's talk.

Why an Elopement Isn't the Easy Option. It's the Brave One.

People sometimes assume elopement is a shortcut. It isn't. It's a decision to put your relationship at the centre of everything, to strip away what isn't about the two of you, and to be completely present for each other in a way that a larger event can make harder.

That takes clarity. And it deserves a ceremony that honours it fully.

Booking Details

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    How far in advance should I book?

    As early as you can. Summer dates in particular fill quickly, and booking early means we can start the creative work together without any pressure. That said, I'll always do my best if you're working to a shorter timeline, so please do get in touch.

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    What's the payment process?

    Half the fee is due on booking to secure your date. The remaining half is due on receipt of your first ceremony draft, usually around six months before the event.

    Do you travel outside Wales?

    Yes. I cover the whole of the UK and I'm happy to travel abroad. I love all the rural and remote corners of this country, from Cornwall to Scotland, and I'm always excited by a destination ceremony. Travel costs over 30 miles from SA34 are 50p per mile, and accommodation may apply for longer distances. My campervan can be a wonderful option.

Working Together

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    What happens at the first meeting?

    We arrange a free, no-obligation chat (video call or in-person) to get to know each other, talk through your vision and see if we're a good fit. There's no pressure and no commitment. I genuinely love meeting people and hearing their stories.

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    How does the ceremony script get written?

    After you've booked, I'll send you a ceremony planning guide and a short questionnaire about your story. You fill it in, we have a follow-up conversation and from there I write your script. You'll receive a draft to review and approve, and we'll refine it together until it's exactly right.

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    Can we stay in touch throughout the process?

    Absolutely. I'm happy to create a WhatsApp group so we can share ideas freely and keep communication easy and fun all the way through.

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    What happens on the day?

    I arrive early, connect with your photographer and any other contributors, and make sure everything is ready and as stress-free as possible for you. I'll be present, focused and calm so you can simply enjoy every single moment.

Inclusion and Accessibility

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    Are you inclusive of all couples and families?

    Yes, without question. I celebrate all couples, all identities, all family structures and all backgrounds. Equality, diversity and inclusivity are core values in everything I do. You are welcome here exactly as you are.

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    Can you accommodate guests with accessibility needs or neurodiverse guests?

    Yes I'll always work with you to ensure your ceremony works for everyone attending. If there are specific needs to consider, please mention them early and we'll find the right approach together.

  • Logomark-Short-Golden-Earth

    What if we have a multicultural ceremony or mixed-faith families?

    This is very much where I thrive. My background in Comparative Religions means I have genuine respect for all traditions, and I love weaving elements from different cultures together thoughtfully and beautifully.

A Few Questions About Elopements

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need witnesses?

For a celebrant-led elopement, there are no legal requirements around witnesses (your legal marriage happens separately at the register office). If you'd like a couple of close people there, absolutely. It's entirely your ceremony to design.

Can we keep it completely private?
