Monday evening saw many of the industry's best professionals gather in the stunning Millbridge Court for the first of two Wedding Industry awards ceremonies for the London and South regional finals.

Congratulations on your milestone anniversary! It is such a great achievement and a wonderful excuse to celebrate.

I was delighted to have been nominated for this years awards, and over the moon to find out today that I had been selected as a finalist!

Today was a lovely day. I got to see my great friend get married, and then I got to conduct her personal ceremony too.

This week I conducted my final outdoor wedding of the season, and what a corker it was!

As a celebrant, I have had the pleasure of working in some truly wonderful venues, but it's the ceremony area, or 'altar' that I find most fascinating.

As recommended celebrant at Gildings, I witness many different weddings and all planned with different themes and detailing.

My lovely couple originate from Singapore, but now live and work in Geneva, and their wedding was created with lots of personal touches throughout.

Today's couple are an absolute inspiration to me, they are just wonderful and I was absolutely privileged to work with them on their big day.

My lovely couple today have such an amazing story, and I was honoured to be able to tell it as part of their bespoke and personalised ceremony.
