Jade is truly one above the rest - she created the most incredible, perfect ceremony for us that ran without a hitch. In the weeks/days prior, Jade kept in touch with us, helped us with anything we needed and made the process so unbelievably easy.

When the day arrived, she had everything and everyone organised, calm and content. Jade told our story perfectly, and we couldn't have asked for anything or anyone better to marry us.
​
​Jade, your personality and nature are so easygoing, and it is obvious that you love what you do. Thank you so much; Paul and I will always be the first to recommend you to anyone wanting to tie the knot.

Have a ceremony as unique as you are!

"Your ceremony is an essential element of your celebration. Whether it is a celebration of new beginnings or endings, you want it to ​represent the person or couple I have crafted it for.

No two love, life stories or celebrations are the same.​​
I welcome people from the LGBTTQIA community, all walks of life, religions, ethnicities, and beliefs, and I will make your celebration memorable!"

​Love, Jade x

I finally married my husband Rob on 25th April 2021.  Like many other couples across the world, we had to postpone our original wedding date because of Covid-19.

I know first hand what it is like to plan, and have a wedding in today's market, so I fully understand what is involved!
