Gwen Inglis Marriage Celebrant

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a marriage celebrant. I enjoy working with couples to achieve a common goal and would love the opportunity to create a unique and memorable ceremony for you.

I am passionate about working with you to create your very own ceremony celebrating your special day, your special way, be it your wedding, a renewal of vows, commitment ceremony or a naming ceremony.

I have collected a wide range of readings, poems and vows. Some couples source their own while still others write their own. With plenty to choose from we work together to create your special ceremony.

There is one thing that works particularly well for me. I ask my brides and grooms how they met and how he proposed. There are some wonderful stories out there that invariably reflect a part of the personality of the bride, her groom or both. With my Toastmasters training, I mould it into an entertaining little anecdote which I use in the introduction to the ceremony. This does two things. Firstly, it makes the ceremony unique to that couple. It also lightens it up a little at the beginning of the ceremony when a lot of people are feeling a bit tense. I always get a few smiles and often a titter of laughter as the guests recognize the behavior as typical of their friend or relative.

Please give me a call to discuss your requirements.
