Inspiring Love Stories Through Meaningful Ceremonies
Hello, I'm Rita
I'm a modern independent celebrant who creates meaningful, heartfelt ceremonies that reflect the lives, love, and stories of the wonderful people I get to work with. Based in Cheam Village, Surrey, I bring over 30 years of experience in working with people from all walks of life to craft ceremonies that are truly one of a kind.
Whether you're planning a wedding, celebrating a vow renewal, or welcoming a new family member with a naming ceremony, I'm here to support you with warmth, professionalism, and a touch of creative flair. Your ceremony should feel like you—in every way.
Services Overview
Weddings - A Ceremony That Reflects You
Big and bold or small and intimate—your wedding ceremony is all about celebrating who you are as a couple. From intimate country house hotels to destination celebrations, we'll design a ceremony that feels authentically yours.
Vow Renewals - Celebrating Love, Again and Always
After 40 years together or celebrating any milestone, a vow renewal honours your journey and looks forward to what's still to come. Let's create a celebration that reflects both your history and your next chapter together.
Naming Ceremonies - Welcoming New Beginnings
A joyful way to welcome a child, celebrate a new name, or mark a family milestone such as adoption. These ceremonies are entirely personal and can be held anywhere that's meaningful to you.
