Aggie the Celebrant

Aggie the Celebrant is a London-based wedding celebrant who writes and leads bespoke ceremonies. Her starting point is that the ceremony is where the party begins, so each one is written from scratch around the couple, with no template in sight.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Aggie specialises in ceremonies for LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming and feminist couples. Another plus is that inclusion is built into her process from the first meeting: you will not be asked awkward questions or expected to explain yourselves. Every element of the ceremony is chosen with you and talked through for what it means to you, so traditions are kept, changed or dropped as you wish.

What they offer

• Fully bespoke wedding ceremonies, written and performed by Aggie
• Getting-to-know-you meetings in person or by video call
• A questionnaire for each partner and a private section of the script kept as a surprise
• Help with writing vows, plus an optional rehearsal
• A script-only option for a friend or relative to deliver, with coaching
• Speech-writing help, and a fuller package with vow and speech coaching and a printed keepsake booklet

How they work

It begins with a free consultation, which you book by email. From there Aggie gets to know you both, gathers your stories through meetings and questionnaires, and drafts a ceremony that sounds like you. She is open to the unexpected, from mountain settings to dogs in the aisle. On the day she arrives early to set up and then leads the ceremony.

Where they cover

Aggie is based in South London and works across the city. She also travels anywhere in the UK and overseas, and has links with suppliers in the South of France for couples planning a wedding abroad.
