Photo of Patricia's Ceremonies Patricia's Ceremonies "Our wedding was not an easy one to orchestrate. We had been planning it from across the world, five hours behind, and putting a lot of trust in details that we had little control of until the day arrived. The celebrant for our traditional Scottish wedding was the area where our worries were the least. Patricia Millon was gracious, on-task, helpful, and thorough. No detail was too small, and she easily managed them with constant and clear communication. During the wedding we both felt calm, taken care of, and truly honoured by participating in such a sacred ceremony. It was everything we had imagined and more. Our guests found her charming and warm in nature. We even managed to knot our tartan correctly the first time with Patricia's steadfast coaching abilities! We highly recommend her for both her professionalism and good spirit. ​ Mr. & Mrs. Herzfeld - Kressler ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Against the stunning backdrop of the Meditteranean and the ombre pink arch, the wedding ceremony was conducted by Patricia Millon and included a sand ceremony with sand the couple had collected from areas they love, including of course Spain Photography The Love Hunters Santa Catalina in Malaga ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A beautiful service by Patricia Millon accompanied by the amazing voice of Lucy Faye. We loved Eoin's special entrance with his grandmother who was also the ring bearer and thankfully took charge of them! During 16 years of doing weddings having forgotten the rings was a first for me! Hushed whispers milled around and eventually I had to tell Emily we were running behind, she had already predicted Eoin would forget the rings and everyone was just enjoying the heat dying down as they mingled. Back on track 40 minutes later it was such a joy to see Emily and Eoin finally exchange their vows (complete with rings!). ​ Casa de la Era, Marbella. Photography Evergreens ​ Laura Reviva Weddings & Events ​ ​ ​ Patricia was absolutely brilliant in helping us plan and conduct our wedding. We wanted a small intimate wedding and she absolutely got it and delivered it perfectly on the day. We were planning our wedding from the south of England (wedding in pitlochry) so had little chance to talk to the venue in person. In visiting the venue to check up on preparations, Patricia was so so helpful in telling us what they had planned so far, and more importantly what they had missed out so we could chase the venue up to sort the final details. In this, she helped immensely! I would recommend Patricia to absolutely anyone looking to plan a wedding in the venue, I couldn’t think of a better celebrant. ​​" Based in Crieff, Scotland 22nd September 2026 F. Newberry - Wedding Celebrant Photo of Mark Your Occasion – Celebrant Mark Your Occasion – Celebrant "The day was magical in all ways, but one aspect sticks out the most, and that is Mark. He was so amazing." Based in Ilkley, England 20th March 2026 Paul & Steph - Wedding Photo of Kay the Celebrant Kay the Celebrant "lucy higgins 3 months ago Kay was the celebrant at our wedding at the end of August and she really made the wedding. Almost every single guest commented on how personal and lovely the ceremony was. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple prior to the big day and honestly we couldn’t have wished for a better person to lead our ceremony. Thank you Kay xx" Based in Oxford, England 31st December 2025 Kay Thompson - Unforgettable Ceremony Photo of Lucy Silous - Celebrant of distinction Lucy Silous - Celebrant of distinction "Lucy is simply the loveliest person you could meet. She is so kind, caring understanding and so much empathy with the families that I highly recommend her." Based in Bedford, England T Stack-Murray - Funeral Photo of Your Ceremony by Diana Your Ceremony by Diana "Had an amazing ceremony by Diana. Diana went above and beyond all the way up to and on the day, thus helping the day to be extra special." Based in Scarborough, England Cindy and Darren Photo of Italian Event Planners Italian Event Planners "I chose Italian Event Planners because I already knew Serena, and she planned the wedding of my dreams in October 2024. Throughout the whole planning journey I had a steady shoulder to lean on, a true professional who helped me choose the very best for my event. A special thank you to the rest of the team who were there on the day and supported me emotionally as well—each of you was fantastic. Andrea and I are so happy we chose you, and we would make the same choice a thousand times over." Based in Amalfi Coast, Campania, Italy 9th November 2026 Francesca & Andrea - Destination Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding officiants / wedding celebrants is £490, with prices from £280 to £850+. Cost depends on the officiant's experience, the length of the ceremony, the level of personalisation and travel distance. Many officiants offer consultations and rehearsal attendance as part of their package.

The wedding officiants / wedding celebrants lead and shape wedding ceremonies. They work with the couple to write a personalised ceremony that reflects their story, values and preferences. Some officiants are legally authorised to perform marriages, while others provide a ceremonial service alongside a legal registration.

Common events for wedding officiants / wedding celebrants include non-traditional weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies, commitment ceremonies and elopements. A celebrant-led ceremony usually allows more flexibility and personalisation than a standard legal ceremony, though the rules on what is legally binding vary by country.

Most wedding officiants / wedding celebrants need several meetings or calls with the couple before the ceremony to plan the content, so plenty of lead time is important. Popular dates fill up quickly, and six to twelve months of notice is ideal. Gig Heaven recommends making enquiries as early as possible.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
