Paul Cochran - Your Celebrant

As your marriage celebrant, my promise to you is that from our first casual meeting, (over a coffee), until the conclusion of your wedding ceremony, I will confidently guide you both through the planning, preparation and presentation of a ceremony that is all about you. Together we will create a ceremony that is relaxed, fun, & truly about the both of you but with just the right amount of formality to emphasise the significance of this moment in your lives. Couples love my relaxed, easy going style and my attention to detail, both as we plan your wedding and as I lead you and your guests through your personalised ceremony. Your wedding ceremony is an iconic moment in your life when, before your family and friends, you declare your love for your soul mate and celebrate your commitment to this amazing lifelong partnership called marriage. A wedding ceremony can be either formal or relaxed, but its most important attribute is that it should reflect the personalities of the couple being married. A well designed wedding ceremony has a clear structure. It flows smoothly, maintains everyone’s interest and remains very personal and intimate throughout. I have many ideas that I can outline to you as we plan the ceremony together. The music and reading selections should complement the promises and the setting, The leadership provided by the celebrant must be warm and inclusive. Symbolic inclusions, perhaps reflecting the cultural heritage of the families, can enhance the ceremony.
