FAQ

What experience do you have as a marriage celebrant?

As an independent family celebrant, I have been performing weddings for over 10 years. I have experience with various types of ceremonies, including religious, non-religious, interfaith, and same-sex weddings.

Are you willing to customize the ceremony to our preferences and beliefs?

Absolutely! I believe that every couple is unique and deserves a personalized ceremony that reflects their love story. I work closely with my clients to create a ceremony that is tailored to their preferences, beliefs, and values.

What is your policy on pre-marital counseling?

While I don't require pre-marital counseling, I do highly recommend it. Pre-marital counseling can help couples to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and prepare for the challenges of marriage. I can provide recommendations for licensed counselors in the area.

How do you ensure that the ceremony runs smoothly and on time?

I am a detail-oriented professional who takes pride in ensuring that everything runs smoothly on the big day. I arrive early to ensure that everything is set up correctly, and I work closely with the wedding coordinator and other vendors to ensure that the ceremony runs on time. I also conduct a rehearsal to ensure that everyone knows their role and feels comfortable with the ceremony.

What is your fee, and what does it include?

My fee varies depending on the type of ceremony, location, and level of customization. However, I am transparent about my fees and will provide a detailed quote upfront. My fee includes an initial consultation, unlimited email and phone support, a personalized ceremony script, a rehearsal, and the wedding ceremony itself. I also offer additional services such as vow writing assistance and ceremony enhancements at an additional cost.

    Shelley was our celebrant for our wedding in Suffolk. She was wonderful! She helped us plan a ceremony that suited us perfectly and had lots of ideas and suggestions. She made everyone feel very welcome on the day. The ceremony went very smoothly and she created a relaxed atmosphere. I would not hesitate to recommend Shelley for anyone looking for a celebrant who is kind, fun and super organised. Natasha and Gary xxx

    I really don’t know where to begin! I booked Shelley for my sons naming ceremony Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family, from the 1st time I ever messaged you to the build up to my sons naming ceremony to the day of the naming ceremony you was brilliant! Quick at replying to my messages and quick at changing anything that needed to be changed on the script, you was brilliant with the kids as any normal 2 year old doesn’t know how to stay still and quite but Shelley didn’t let that bother her and carried on with the beautiful ceremony. There was tears of happiness and kindness from your well worded script! Every single person commented to me how special the day was because of Shelley, Words will never express how appreciative we are of you💗 A million percentage will always recommend Shelley Bell x

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When five stars just isn’t enough! Shelley made our Wedding celebration the perfect day we dreamed of. We were legally married in 2021 with COVID restrictions, so when we had the chance to work with Shelley to renew our promises we couldn’t have asked for more from her. Not only did Shelley take the time to get to know us as individuals, she wanted to hear about our entire journey as a couple. We felt totally comfortable with Shelley from the start and this resulted in her writing us the most personal and heartfelt script we could have hoped for. We had so many guests remark just how special and loving our ceremony was, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. If you’re looking for someone to host your perfect day with passion and professionalism, Shelley is your Celebrant. She done all of this for us on her Birthday too! Thank you Shelley…you absolutely made our celebration perfect!!

    Shelley made our wedding ceremony perfect. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid but we kept the town hall legal part in 2021 and I hated this rushed, no personal legal transaction of a marriage. I told Shelley my memories and feelings about the day and she has completely transformed them. Last weekend a year on celebrating our first anniversary with all our close family and friends we had an intimate ceremony which was beyond my imagination. She wrote a personal script telling our love story and helped us write our own vows. Our guests told us it was such a beautiful ceremony and they could feel our love in the room. This was all purely down to Shelley’s hard work and creativity. During the morning Shelley was a helping hand for logistics and keeping us on time. She felt like part of the wedding party due to her comfortable and friendly manner which comes across as soon as you meet her! I highly recommend using Shelley to make your celebrations perfect.

    We booked Shelley for our wedding at Little Tey Barn, and she was just great from the first time we met. The script she wrote for the ceremony was so unique and specific to us, and really made it all feel so special. On the day, it just couldn't have been easier, she ensured everything ran to perfection. We couldn't recommend Shelley enough - such a lovely person to share your special moment with!
