Yes, we can! In fact, we are often asked this, and we would be delighted to! We do make a charge of £60 per witness to cover our time and travelling, and we also add mileage expenses. But we are happy to provide two lovely witnesses you can rely on to be there at your register office* in good time and then observe your ceremony, sign the schedule, throw confetti, take photos - whatever you need!

*Cornwall only!

The beauty of a ceremony led by a celebrant is – there is no such thing as typical ;-)

We've had short ceremonies, long ceremonies, informal ceremonies held in relaxed outdoor settings, more formal ceremonies held in gorgeous venues - ceremonies with surprise sing-a-longs, ceremonies with handtyings involving all the family - ceremonies with a Mr and Mrs game, ceremonies with readings delivered by video - ceremonies with lots of guests, ceremonies with no guests - ceremonies with the dog as the ringbearer or best man - ceremonies with witness bingo - BASICALLY - your ceremony will be completely UNIQUE TO YOU. And we love it that way!

We are down-to-earth, super-friendly, girl-next-door types with deeply happy souls!

Relaxed but professional, we try not to take life too seriously, but when it comes to your ceremony we will plan it meticulously, with maximum effort and attention to detail, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

We will be perfectly suited if: - You want a fun, heart-felt celebration that isn't boring, very formal or religious - You love the idea of making your ceremony personal and meaningful - You want your ceremony to be the best bit - not the boring bit - of the day

- You recognise this is a bespoke service - no templates here!

Yes, our ceremonies are usually humanist in style, however we decided to train with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants, not The Humanist Society. As independent celebrants, we believe this gives our couples more choice than adhering simply to a humanist approach. Humanist celebrants can only conduct exclusively non-religious ceremonies, while independent celebrants have the freedom to include religious elements or spiritual references if the couple desires, because we are not bound to a specific belief system. Put simply, being an independent celebrant means just that - we have a lot more flexibility than a celebrant who trained as a humanist.

How involved would you like to be?

We usually find that couples have some outline ideas, but want some support in shaping them and making them happen. Other couples will start with a blank piece of paper and it's completely up to us to create the ceremony that best reflects their personalities.

It's our job to to listen, get to know you, respond to elements you know you want, and throw in other suggestions that we think might particularly suit you. Whatever happens, you're in charge - but the end point is the same however we get there: a beautifully bespoke ceremony that you are delighted with.

It's no coincidence that most couples describe their ceremony with us as 'perfect' :-)

Again - it's your call!

There's no template, so it's completely dependent on what we create together.

But if you want a ball park figure, then a ceremony is usually between half an hour and 45 minutes long. Have a read of this for more info!

Generally, we don't offer rehearsals because we want to keep the magic for your big day and believe they are often unnecessary. We cover all logistics in advance to ensure you feel calm and prepared. On the day, we arrive early to ensure everything runs smoothly. However, if your ceremony is complex and a rehearsal is deemed beneficial, it can be arranged for an additional cost.

That depends on your venue, your guest numbers and sometimes even what the weather might be like!

But if we do, you have two options: If you are hiring a speaker system to play your music, or mics for the speeches later in the day, then we are always happy to use your system, as long as there is someone with the technical know how to look after it during the ceremony! We prefer a wireless mic and a mic stand - but are happy to discuss options. (Make sure you have public liability insurance for any equipment you hire or borrow!)

The other option is that we bring our own system - covered by our own PL insurance - which includes a 100W wireless speaker mounted on a stand (suitable for up to 300 guests indoors), two wireless microphones plus two mic stands, our own tech support for set up and duration, plus the option for you to play (via Bluetooth) music for your ceremony. We also bring back up cables, batteries and anything else you might need! There is a hire charge for this to cover the tech support - ask us for more info.

Well, as the name suggests, we are based in beautiful Cornwall - but we regularly and happily travel to ceremonies in Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. We charge a little extra for ceremonies outside our home county as travel can really impact on time - and of course there is a mileage fee to factor in.

Nearly ALL of our clients are from outside Cornwall, so while we love to have face to face meetings with clients, inevitably a lot of the preparation is done over video calls and email. So it’s not an issue if you’re mega busy or if you live further afield - but if you're ever bombing down the A30 on your holidays, feel free to stop just after Bodmin Moor and we can catch up over a cuppa at Celebrant in Cornwall HQ!

'Fraid so! Unless you are on our doorstep, we charge 45p per mile, and very occasionally we also charge for accommodation if your ceremony is beyond a certain distance, meaning one of us would need an overnight stay.

But this is all made clear before you book – there are no surprise costs!

If you like what we offer but we are a long way away from you, and the cost of the ceremony, travel and accommodation is likely to be too much, then we provide a ceremony writing service - so if you have someone in mind who can deliver your ceremony, we can create the perfect script for them. Drop us a line for more details.

Yes, we have insurance coverage with an indemnity level of £4,000,000, including professional, public, and products liability. A copy of our certificate can be provided upon request, as some venues require it for their booking process.

Sure! Here is a copy of them (updated in August 2025): we always ask you to look at them BEFORE you book, and when you confirm your booking, we will send you a personalised copy to sign and return. Even if you do not sign and return, the inference is that you have read and agreed to these terms before booking.

"The following forms a contract of agreement and is subject to the terms and conditions included within it. In signing, all parties are bound by these terms and conditions.

This agreement is made between:

Lisa Flahant of Celebrant in Cornwall and (your names go here!) For the ceremony at (venue, date and time) The fee quoted for this ceremony is £xxx and at the time of booking, you have paid £xxx. (The fee quoted is based on information available at the time of quotation. Later changes to your requirements e.g. change of ceremony location or date, significant additional content, a rehearsal not previously agreed, or additional travel may all incur additional costs to us and will be discussed with you and any increase in price will be agreed with you and requested before your ceremony takes place. Please note a mileage fee of 45p a mile from Bodmin to your venue and return will be normally be added to the final payment unless stipulated otherwise.)

Considerations before booking:

We feel incredibly lucky to do what we do and are fully invested in making our couples’ day as they want it. Couples book us for a smiley, thoughtful, confident, and experienced celebrant who delivers a beautifully personalised, professional, and creative ceremony. We do not cater to fussy, formal, showy weddings with couples who have rigid ideas about their ceremonies. If this describes you, we suggest looking for other celebrants who promote themselves as 'high end' or 'luxury' celebrants.

Ceremony amendments: -Normally, two drafts of your ceremony are expected, possibly three in exceptional circumstances. Further amendments will be charged at £50 per hour. - Amendments will not be accepted within the last week before your ceremony. - For personal vow writing support, we need the first drafts of your vows at least three weeks before the ceremony, and finalised one week before.

1. Fees and refunds

- A 50% deposit secures your date and is normally non-refundable if you choose not to proceed, as the date will have been blocked out and will be highly difficult to fill again. Your balance payment plus any agreed additions (mileage, etc.) is due when we are ready to send you the first draft of your ceremony. - Full payment is also normally non-refundable. If a refund is deemed appropriate, the maximum refund is 50% (equal to the deposit); however, this will be judged on a case by case basis and is dependent on how much work has been undertaken to date. - Please note that 75% of services are undertaken before the ceremony day, which includes research, advice, meetings, writing, revisions, supplier liaison and ceremony preparation. 25% of services are delivered on the ceremony day.

2. Payment

Payment is requested by bank transfer; should you require payment by Paypal, then an admin fee of 10% applies, and all payments will need to have cleared in advance of sending your ceremony. 3. Cancellation and postponement

- Cancellations are normally non-refundable once paid. All cancellations must be made in writing/by email. - If we must cancel due to exceptional circumstances, we will attempt to secure another professional celebrant at no additional cost to you. - If you need to postpone, we will offer to reschedule within a year at no extra cost. Dates beyond a year may incur a price increase.

4. Copyright

The written ceremony is our intellectual property. It cannot be used without our written permission, and legal action may be taken for unauthorised use.

5. Legality of ceremony

This is not a legal ceremony. To complete legal marriage requirements, contact your local Register Office or church.

6. Personal beliefs

We reserve the right to decline bookings conflicting with our beliefs, such as ceremonies with butterfly or bird releases. Please ask if unsure.

7. Miscellaneous

- We share our work on social media (Facebook, Instagram, website). You can opt to keep your ceremony private by advising us.

- We are an easy-going, happy, relaxed, and highly professional team. However, if clients are rude, aggressive, or display disrespectful behaviour, the contract will be terminated, and only reasonable monies will be refunded."

Sign and date - and we are good to go!

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy in accordance with GDPR. We collect and process your personal data solely to create your ceremony. You have the right to access, update, correct, and request deletion of your information. We do not sell or rent your personal information, nor share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

Let’s chat! Drop us a line, give us a call or we can set up a video meeting.

Once we’ve chatted, if you think you would like to proceed, we will send you an online booking form and ask for a (non-refundable) booking fee of 50% to secure your date and enable us to start working with you. (Note that this fee acts as a down payment to your final bill - it's not extra!). If you are booking a ceremony that is within 6 weeks, full payment will be required at the time of booking,

We'll also drop you a contract - and then we can get cracking on your ceremony! Happy days!
