While vow-renewal ceremonies have gained more visibility in recent years, this sacred recognition of love and commitment has been celebrated by couples for decades in Italian culture, and even the Church of England offers a service called “Thanksgiving for marriage” for couples wanting to renew their vows.
“Tell me a story of who you are, and see who I am in the stories I live. And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice.”
The journey of a marriage is something so deeply intimate; the richness of your stories meshing and intertwining in a history so vast and intricate it creates entire worlds. This then, is your time to stand and behold all you have brought into existence, together pulling the warp and weft of life, weaving the extraordinary into the everyday, choosing one another through trials and triumphs, over and over again.
In light of all you have shared, a vow-renewal can carry even more gravitas than the vows you first made in marriage – to know someone truly, and to celebrate your commitment to them in full knowledge of both their shadow and their light, is a profound expression of love.
Our vow-renewal packages range from £598 – £849.

In recent years, many couples choose to renew their vows in celebration of an anniversary – and some choose to renew their vows every year in an intimate ceremony between themselves, or themselves and a celebrant.
There are no legal restrictions or necessities for couples who want to renew their vows, so together we are free to create a ceremony that resonates with your heartfire and truly honours the paths you have chosen to tread.
For those who feel a strong connection to nature, I am one of seven celebrants in the world to first receive training in Avalonian handfastings, at the Sacred Celebrants Academy in Glastonbury. The Avalonian handfasting is rooted in ancient pre-roman Celtic traditions, and the sacred nature of this ceremony means it is unscripted – I have been put through my paces to earn the right to perform this stunning ceremony, and it has been worth every second.
This ancient rite of handfasting is offered by Wildflower to those of all faiths and none, and can be as spiritual as you would like to make it. Even if you are of no spiritual inclination at all, this meaningful ceremony, steeped in joyful tradition, is a stunning way to honour the pledges you made in love, witnessed by your friends and family.
The Avalonian handfasting ceremony invites beloveds on a journey around the wheel of the elements – earth, air, fire and water – the building blocks that make up all life in the universe and a mirror to the journey of a long-term relationship. During this ceremony, couples can renew their vows by way of being handfasted with a ‘hoop and wand’, inviting blessings of the wisdom you have accumulated and the excitement of the years to come.
Whether you would like to choose a completely bespoke ceremony, or the Avalonian handfasting, it would be my honour to create you the service that brings you joy and paves the way for your future prosperity.
