What’s your process with couples like?

If you’re interested in Gordon for your wedding, the first step is to reach out to him with your details, including your wedding date (if booked), and theme. From here, Gordon will reach out to you for a no-strings-attached chat (this can be over a nice glass of Riesling or cup of coffee if you wish!) about your preferences, vision, and needs. If you’ve decided after this informal consultation that you’d like to work with Gordon, you can book him for your wedding. From here, he will gather as much information about your journey as possible, and create your wedding ceremony script from this. He will then send this to you for approval. Next up? Your wedding rehearsal! This is the time to fine-tune your ceremony so it’s exactly how you want. Then, you get married!

“Gordon, I can't begin to thank you enough for the beautiful Celebration of Mum's life you put together. Even to the point of waking at 5am the day before to advise me that you'd had a 'thought' come to you and created a beautiful ditty which you even then went on and sang. Mum would absolutely have loved that. Thank you again” Jacqui
