Dorset’s only accredited Sacred Celebrant (IPHM), Ellie Brooks, has earned the prestigious title of ‘recommended celebrant’ at one of Dorchester’s most charming wedding venues.
The Wildflower Ceremonies founder, who won two titles at the Dorset Wedding Awards in November, specialises in creating stunning ceremonies for free spirits, and is renowned for her expertise in performing full, authentic handfasting ceremonies.
Ellie’s role as a recommended celebrant will see her offering both handfasting and civil ceremonies to Sunninghill couples who wish to blend enchanting rituals into both indoor and outdoor ceremonies.
Jacky Walker, Sunninghill’s wedding expert and events manager, said; “Ellie’s wealth of knowledge surrounding ancient wedding rituals and her passion for modern best-practice make her a perfect fit for the high standard of service we offer to couples getting married at Sunninghill.”
She went on to say, “Sunninghill has a number of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that are well-suited to handfastings and creative ceremonies, so we are excited to be able to offer Ellie’s stunning ceremonies to those who are looking for an alternative to a traditional wedding ceremony.”
Ellie said, “It is truly an honour to become one of Sunninghill’s recommended celebrants and the team’s specialist in handfastings. In recent years so many couples are looking for ceremonies that are truly heartfelt for them, so we are seeing a huge return to handfastings as a meaningful alternative to a traditional service.
“Many couples also wish to have their ceremonies outside in nature, so it will be an absolute privilege to assist couples looking to get married at this beautiful venue.”
We recently had the privilege of setting up an indoor handfasting ceremony for a stylised wedding shoot at Sunninghill, take a look at a few of the images below.
