Hello
I’m Catherine Kentridge
I have united hundreds of couples in tailor-made ceremonies in the UK and abroad.
My primary goal is to create a bespoke ceremony that you will treasure and that your guests will remember for always.
Each ceremony I design is one-of-a-kind and the cost depends on what you would like to include.

FAQs
Why choose a Celebrant?
Because a celebrant ceremony does not include legalities, it has no rules or regulations and you can have it anywhere, indoors or outside, any time – dawn, dusk, mid-afternoon.
There is no requirement for a licensed venue.
Beach, lakeside, mountain top, field, on a boat, garden or forest – whatever is your pleasure.
You can include children, pets, friends, family, music, rituals and readings, whoever and whatever is important to you to include in your ceremony.
Can we write our own vows?
Yes. Your own words for your vows will make them even more personal, meaningful and powerful.
Does it matter what culture, faith or religion we are?
No. I specialise in creating unique harmonised and beautiful ceremonies that weave together your respective faiths, heritage and languages. My ceremonies are interfaith, multicultural and multilingual, depending on your requirement.
How long will the ceremony be?
Ceremonies are usually 20-25 minutes from Procession to Introducing you to your guests as Newly Wed Again. They can be shorter if you decide not to have readings or special rituals. Or they can be longer; for example, if you have more than one language, guests participating in the ceremony, or other elements.
How does the process of creating the ceremony work?
1. The ceremony takes shape with exchanges of drafts that are fine-tuned as we go along, to ensure the ceremony reflects your wishes.
2. You send me as many of your firmed-up ideas for the ceremony as possible. I create a draft written ceremony incorporating those ideas for you to review together, and then you send me any revisions.
3. You receive a second draft, containing those revisions.
4. You review the revised draft, make any final changes to it and then send me an email containing your “Approved Ceremony”. That way you and I will know that on your day you will be hearing the words you want to hear at the ceremony you want to have.
How far in advance should be book our ceremony?
Whether it is a year in advance, a couple of weeks, or anytime in between, I will do my best to accommodate you. The further you book in advance, the more likely you are to receive the time and place of your choice.
How far are you willing to travel?
I’m based in London and Cumbria, and I do ceremonies across the UK and Internationally.
Wherever you need me, I will be there.
Do you charge extra travel and/or accommodation expenses?
Any fees for travel and accommodation are in addition to my ceremony fees. If the time and location of your venue require overnight accommodation and/or travel abroad, then that travel and accommodation will be charged extra, and agreed at the time of contract. If I can easily travel to and from the venue in a day, then the additional fee will simply be the train fare and a taxi to and from the venue.
