The Life of a Wedding Celebrant

One of the great things about being a Wedding Celebrant is hearing & then retelling couples’ love stories.

Not all proposal stories are spectacular, they don’t have to be. However, when Darren told me how & where he proposed to Natasha, whose wedding ceremony I delivered in July this year, I was inspired.

Darren had whisked Natasha away to a treetop hideaway retreat in Lincolnshire, near Woodhall Spa in fact, which I knew from a 2021 wedding at The Dower House there.

Each of the luxury treetop cabins have their own boat onto a small lake. Whilst cooking Natasha tapas, the owner had conspired with Darren to lay a path of candles to the boat. When they went outside, to cook S’mores, the candlelit path led to the place where Darren proposed. After getting engaged in a treetop hideaway called “Pheasant’s Roost”, they had their wedding ceremony at the beautiful Pheasantry Brewery.

Inspired by the amazing accommodation, I booked a treetop hideaway for the end of September called Squirrel’s Drey to surprise my wife with a long weekend to mark our 27th wedding anniversary.

It was perfect!

I am so grateful to be a Wedding Celebrant.
