About

My ceremonies have been described as "traditional with a twist" - a heartfelt, relaxed, modern ceremony where contemporary style and content meets traditional structure. A bespoke ceremony with all the things you love about a wedding, and none of the things you don't!

Imagine an individually-written wedding ceremony at the heart of your day, rather than just a standard script with your names dropped in. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Together, we will create your bespoke ceremony, which tells your story, and includes anything else you like: any song, poem, reading, or symbolic element, such as hand fasting, or a unity candle. I can provide advice and guidance on appropriate readings, songs etc., as well as helping you to write your own vows, if you wish. It's not everyone's cup of tea to write their own vows, and that's absolutely fine, too! I'll be here to suggest something for you, which is still personal and true to who you are.

You'll be able to stand in front of your family and friends and say some of the most important words you will ever say to each other, knowing that those words are heartfelt and carefully chosen to reflect your relationship. In the words of one of my couples: "just the way every marriage should start."

Just how every marriage should start! The professionalism and eye to detail that you gave us in our ceremony was second to none. A truly memorable day made perfect by someone who cares as much about the day as we did. Words really can’t say how much we loved it.

Frances & Henry

Tanya, you were unbelievable on the day, and the ceremony was so beautiful! You’ll get endless recommendations - we are so happy and over the moon about everything! xx

Camilla & Malcolm

We would highly recommend Perfect Promises to conduct your ceremony! Tanya gave us the perfect ceremony at our wedding and it was everything we hoped for and more. We wanted a more traditional ceremony but one that was personal to us. And that is exactly what we got. We even incorporated hand fasting which was such a special touch. All our guests commented on how loving and personal our ceremony was, how lovely Tanya was and how it felt like she really knew us. And we totally agree! Tanya is such a lovely person and very easy to get on with. She took the time to get to know us and really understood what we wanted. Thank you Tanya! It really was perfect!

Tanya was absolutely amazing! From the moment we first spoke I knew she would be the perfect person to conduct our ceremony. She is warm, kind, friendly, personable and so understanding of how important it is to have a ceremony which reflects YOU as a couple and a family rather than the traditional (and very impersonal) registrar led approach. My husband and I were not only getting married but also bringing his three sons into a new ‘modern family’ so we wanted to ensure they were acknowledged and made to feel part of our union. Tanya orchestrated this perfectly, with a ceremony that included every element of what we described being important to us. We laughed and cried in equal measure and we will honestly remember this small part of the day as being not only emotional and heartwarming, but as the moment that we truly became husband and wife. We cannot speak highly enough of Tanya’s skills, from creating such a well balanced ceremony which our guests loved as much as we did to her immaculate presentation and articulation which just made us feel so at home and comfortable in her presence. Every detail was planned out and it ran so smoothly, from leading our guests to take their seats to inviting the boys up to sign our certificate (which was just one of her fantastic ideas) to telling guests when to throw the confetti! We wanted a ceremony that reflected us, was informal, fun, refreshing, non-traditional and included our wonderful boys and Tanya achieved that and so much more! We are truly grateful to have found someone who understands how important those moments are to you and we both reflect on our wedding ceremony with so much joy and happiness, it honestly was the best part of our wedding day and that is all due to Tanya. I would recommend anyone who wants their ceremony to be memorable and unique to contact Tanya and let her plan it with you. It was whole heartedly the best decision we made and we are so so thankful to have found her! Lots of love to you Tanya ❤️

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday. You have been absolutely amazing from the day we first spoke, up to delivering the best ceremony we could have wished for. You are so fantastic at what you do, and we couldn’t be more pleased that we chose you for our big day. You made us feel so comfortable from the moment we first met and having you explain everything to us and keeping in touch in between the initial call, the meeting and the day itself has been so invaluable and the loveliest personal touch. You wrote the perfect ceremony for us which was so true to who we are - it was everything we could have wished for and more.

We had an EXCELLENT experience from start to finish with Tanya for our Wedding day. Everything from the first email, initial meet up- to the actual Wedding day. I suffer quite badly with anxiety, but Tanya put me at ease instantly and explained to me exactly how the process would work from start to finish.Tanya was extremely calm and made us all feel at ease- at no point did I worry that Tanya was not on top of everything! The way we were able to personalize our ceremony made it so intimate and romantic- exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend Tanya, as a wedding can be stressful enough and Tanya takes all of the stress out of the Ceremony part!

Louise & Bruce

Tanya beautifully personalised our ceremony. We really appreciated the little touches and the booklets of our vows which we can keep and re-read. She made the process really easy and we had a beautiful ceremony :)

Sandra & Adam

Tanya was recommended through a friend to be our celebrant for our special day. After a few phone calls we met her a couple of months before the wedding and she was nothing but friendly and comforting from the day we met. After the chat she sent us a draft for the vows and they were perfect. She really got the feel of how we wanted the day to go. On the day she really put our nerves at ease which made everything a lot easier. I so happy Tanya was part of our day. Thank you so much Tanya!

Shona & Raoul

Thank you, Tanya, for making our day so fantastic: liaising with the manager of the venue to make sure everything ran smoothly; making us feel comfortable; organising the ceremony and tailoring it to how we wanted our special day to be. We would recommend you to everyone!

Laura & James

Tanya was very easy to work with and made us feel at ease throughout the process of writing and reviewing the vows and the ceremony. Tanya is a warm and lovely person, she speaks in a gentle yet assured way. We would highly recommend her as a wedding celebrant.
