If it’s essential that your ceremony is rooted in the natural world? Let’s talk.
I’m Rosie – specialising in life-affirming, multicultural and LGBTQ-affirming ceremonies that are rooted and full of meaning.
Writing personalised ceremonies full of story and flair, we work together to weave music suggestions, traditional and custom-made rituals, ancestry, storytelling and readings, that bring you, your loved ones and community closer together. I do this with warmth and love.
Outdoor ceremonies are my favourite, whether a wedding or a burial, and are heavily inspired by the season, the land we’re on and nature’s influence on our lives. Flowers, herbs or whole trees – I will always incorporate botanicals in a ceremony.
In the creative planning stages, we get to ask: What traditions feel right for you, and which ones don’t quite fit? What kind of atmosphere do you want to create? And fundamentally for full authenticity, what are you hoping this ceremony will change?
On the day: guaranteed ceremony full of meaning, colour, story, feeling, laughter and often tears.
Based in Bedfordshire, I travel nationwide and to destination locations. I would be thrilled to have a short 15-minute chat to see how I can help you. Just drop me a message.
I’m not even sure where to begin. If you are considering asking Rosie to support you in celebrating a special moment in your life then all I can say is – please do it! Rosie is an utterly wonderful human and glorious celebrant – she thoughtfully and lovingly put together a beautiful blessing ceremony to mark the arrival of our twin boys – blending together different faiths and cultures into something that was meaningful and special – no small feat. Every little detail was considered and Rosie gently guided us through the process with ease – it was actually a joy to work with her on the preparations and the end result was perfect for us. I didn’t feel any of the stress I do organising other occasions, and I was delighted by all of the little things Rosie had done to make it extra special and tailored to our children. Thank you so much Rosie – we are so lucky to have had your skill, wisdom and care for this beautiful ceremony.
