Five years, twenty years, fifty years—however long you've been together, a vow renewal is a beautiful way to recommit to each other and celebrate how far you've come.
Maybe you eloped originally and now want to celebrate with everyone. Maybe your first wedding was traditional and you want something that feels more "you" now. Perhaps you've overcome challenges together and want to mark your resilience. Or maybe you simply want to say "I'd choose you again" in front of the people who matter most.
What's Included
Vow renewal ceremonies follow the same format as wedding ceremonies:
-
Getting to Know You (Again)
We'll meet to talk about your relationship—your original wedding, your journey together, what's changed, what's stayed the same, what you want to celebrate now.
-
Your Bespoke Ceremony
I'll write a ceremony that reflects your story—not just the highlights, but the real journey of marriage. The growth, the challenges overcome, the deepening of love over time. This will include renewed vows (you can write your own or I can help), readings that resonate with this stage of life, and a personal poem about your journey.
-
Symbolic Elements
Perhaps a unity candle ceremony, this time lit by your children. A hand fasting with cords representing different chapters of your relationship. Honey tasting representing the accumulated sweetness of your years together. We'll choose something meaningful.
-
Final Review Meeting
We'll go through the ceremony together and refine it until it's perfect.
-
Conducting Your Ceremony
On the day, I'll create a warm, celebratory atmosphere and guide you through recommitting to each other.
Why Renew Your Vows?
-
Milestone Anniversaries
10th, 25th, 50th—marking significant milestones with a ceremony gives them proper weight and celebration.
-
After Difficult Times
If you've weathered serious challenges—illness, loss, financial struggles—and come through stronger, a vow renewal acknowledges that resilience.
-
Because You Want To
Honestly, this is reason enough. Your love deserves celebration whenever you want to celebrate it.
Vow renewal packages start from £595 (same as wedding ceremonies).
This includes everything outlined above, with optional extras available.
