A Wedding Celebrant can allow you the flexibility you want for your wedding ceremony, so that you can have your wedding wherever you choose, reflecting your personal beliefs and lifestyle without restrictions of a more traditional ceremony.
We spoke to Louise Goode from No Ordinary Celebrant to find out more about her company
We spoke to Sutton Coldfield-based celebrant, Louise Goode from No Ordinary Celebrant to find out more about her company.
"It's been an amazing year with perhaps the highlight being my trip to Crete to do a pirate-themed wedding on a ship in the Bay of Heraklion. It was wonderful to create a themed script full of laughs and guest participation and add all the finishing touches, like a treasure map certificate and ancient-style ceremony script. I loved taking on a role and dressing up, the only thing missing was Johnny Depp, but perhaps that was a good thing or I might have died of joy!
"I'm looking really forward to working with more couples and planners who have concepts for weddings that require a celebrant that isn't afraid to get stuck right in."

With official guidance looking to change in the not too distant future, giving celebrants more legal power to actually marry couples - removing the need for a pre- or post-blessing registry office date - here at County Wedding Magazine HQ we think this is a trend that will continue to soar.

Margaret Mulholland, a celebrant based in Staffordshire, is offering one lucky reader her services, worth £650, for free. We spoke to Margaret to find out more about her: "I have a background in drama and education, and am an accomplished public speaker. I've had a varied career to date – everything from counselling and acting to teaching and management but this is the first time I really feel that I have found my niche. I was still wondering what I was going to be when I was in my 50s, and now at long last, I know! I'm a lover of life and a fosterer of hedgehogs and a curious vegan with a quirky worldview. I love to create and deliver joyful ceremonies for all of life's key events. Whether it's saying goodbye to a loved one, welcoming a new life into your family or an affirmation of love, I will write something unique, just for you.
