We met Bernie at a wedding fair, and both my (now) husband and I clicked with her immediately. Bernie offerred an obligation free chat to make sure we were a good fit and we are so glad she was available for the big day. Her calm and easygoing personality meant she interacted with the wide range of personalities with ease. Bernie's wedding script was perfectly tailored to us as a couple, and she made the process for all the legalities super simple. Bernie supplied the audio equipment, and went above and beyond liasing with other vendors and ensuring the ceremony ran smoothly. 100% recommend using Bernie as your celebrant if you get the chance.

When my now-husband and I began our journey to find the right person to stand by us on our big day, we scoured countless pages online, social media, and asked everyone we knew for their recommendations. One person kept getting mentioned time and time again: Bernie. So, we did what any newly engaged couple would do and took a blind leap of faith, meeting up to “check the vibes”… and Bernie absolutely smashed it. From the get-go, Bernie gave us the feeling of having known her forever. She quickly became more like a very close friend, almost family, rather than just another wedding vendor. She never once made us feel like any of our decisions were wrong or that our ideas were too much. In fact, whenever I came to her with an idea, Bernie was always, “Yes, let’s do it!” And if something wasn’t going to work, she would always find a way around it, never taking away from the original idea but incorporating it in a way that worked and flowed beautifully. Bernie was there through so much of our wedding journey, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be by our side. She brought so much warmth, reassurance, creativity and care to the entire process, and that meant more to us than she probably realises. Bernie will forever hold such a special place in both mine and my husband’s hearts. We are so incredibly grateful that our paths crossed and that we took that blind leap of faith. Thank you for everything, Bernie. We love and appreciate you more than words can say. 💞 Love, The Lances ❤️

Can we do funny vows

Bernadette Kersh Celebrant

Yes! You must do the legal vows as this makes your marriage legal but you can then add personal vows and I love this as it makes your ceromony personal and about you and your partner. Funny always makes the crowd laugh and makes a very happy vibe. Good luck

Writing vows

I'm so nervous can I use chatgpt

Bernadette Kersh Celebrant

Of course!! You can do whatever you want. But also lots of people are doing personal vows in private, so that is also an option. Whatever you write will mean the world to your partner, speak from the heart and it will be beautiful.
