A PERSONAL CEREMONY, LED BY SOMEONE YOU LOVE Award-winning Essex wedding celebrant Amanda Wheal has launched a Signature Ceremony Writing service for couples who would love a friend or family member to lead their ceremony, with a professionally written script. Amanda gets to know each couple before creating their bespoke ceremony. The script includes pauses, prompts, movements and guidance for a natural, confident delivery. As Amanda was already booked on their wedding date, Deborah and Kevin chose the service so that a close friend could lead their ceremony. After completing Amanda’s couple’s questionnaire, they refined it with her until it felt completely personal. A few weeks before the wedding ceremony, they met Amanda at the venue with their friend to walk through the ceremony and finalise the practical details. The marked-up script guided him throughout, including when to pause and move aside for photographs, while keeping the ceremony warm, personal and beautifully structured. “It was as if Amanda was delivering the ceremony on the day—it was beautiful.” Deborah and Kevin recall. The service is ideal for UK and destination weddings where couples want someone special to lead their ceremony, with professional support behind the scenes.
