Sense of Occasion
Hi, my name is Paula and I am an Independent Celebrant working in the South East of England, although I can travel to a venue outside of this area if you are absolutely sure that I am the celebrant that you want for your ceremony.
Tell me all about your love story and let me weave strands of your dreams through it and I will handcraft you a ceremony which truly lets you sparkle on your special day.
If you are looking for a wedding ceremony that truly reflects the couple you are, then you need a celebrant.
If you have the perfect spot in mind for that ceremony and it isn’t licensed, then you need a celebrant.
If you want a ceremony that mixes and shares your cultural heritage or allows you to combine your doctrines into the ceremony, then you need a celebrant.
We celebrate you as a couple, and we can do all of this because we are not providing a legally binding service (but we can also advise you on how to achieve that). We are able to bring fun, romance, originality and uniqueness to your wedding, because you deserve a day that celebrates you.
I arrive without judgement and I leave behind memories. Pop over to my website to see more.

Dodmoor House
Dodmoor House is a romantic converted barn wedding venue in Northamptonshire. Our award winning venue is exclusively yours for your wedding day, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere for you and your guests.
We pride ourselves on helping you create your perfect wedding by doing things your way, with the flexibility to book your choice of suppliers.
We are a family-run wedding venue in Northamptonshire and passionately believe in giving your wedding the personal touch it deserves. Exclusive use of the barns is always guaranteed, and we can provide you with an extensive list of local suppliers to contact if you choose. Alternatively, we offer the flexibility of sourcing all of your own suppliers if you wish (including caterers), and we would be happy to offer site visits to discuss their plans in more detail.
We offer as much help as you want throughout the planning of your day, and your personal wedding coordinator will hold an in-depth planning meeting with you two months before the wedding to go through everything in detail, so that nothing is left to chance on the big day. We also hold a number of Open Events throughout the year, giving you the chance to chat about ideas with us, meet potential suppliers and show your venue off to your family and friends!
The barns at Dodmoor House date back just over 400 years, are Grade II listed and were stylishly converted by Mark and Louise Bradley in a two year renovation project. The wedding venue opened to the public in 2006 and now hosts more than 100 weddings per year, but our team of wedding coordinators ensure that each wedding is given the personal touch it deserves!
Dodmoor House is licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, enabling you to host your wedding at exactly the same venue as the reception and evening party, and is also the perfect place to host your celebrations after a church wedding.

Our lead celebrant Paul has extensive experience in conducting wedding ceremonies, as he was previously a Registrar for twelve years so did literally hundreds of ceremonies in that time! He will be delighted to design your ceremony just for you. And as we are very aware of the financial pressures on couples, we are intentionally keeping our prices as low as possible – £450 Mon-Thurs, £550 Fri and Sat, and £600 Sunday.

Fields of Pressed Flowers
About Fields of Pressed Flowers:
Wedding flowers, in particular the bouquet, play an important role in your wedding. They can help show your personality as a couple, add atmosphere to your venue, and convey sentiment and memories through the use of certain flowers.

That allows us to agree what you want before the big day happens to ensure you get the shots you require.

I love the idea packaging together an experience of a lifetime my clients, something to always remember.

The Little Details Company
The little details company was born out of a wedding day panic. You know the type of morning when everything is going wrong, the bride can’t know, and her friends jump in to save the day? Yes that. I (Kate) was one of those friends and as a big fan of weddings, decided that no friend or family member (and certainly no bride or groom) should have to undergo such stress when it should be a celebration. So, way back when in 2004 I rocked up at a wedding show with eight chair covers and sashes, one centrepiece and a passion for style. Little did I know that I would be booked that day for a wedding that was the weekend after, and the business would go from strength to strength.
I later made the move from Hampshire to Northamptonshire in 2012 (funny what love makes you do!) and met Katie in our day jobs working in the event industry. We worked well together, complimented each other’s strengths, and found we had the same big ideas about wedding venue perfection (although Katie is more of a faffer than me!) we decided to team up to be able to bring the little details company to Northamptonshire whilst still growing it in Hampshire.
The little details company is a real family business, with our husbands often pitching in when their engineering and mechanical design strengths are needed, and our children being taught a positive work ethic… although they aren’t quite trusted to tie bows yet, but they have worked out they could earn some serious cash!
We’d love to work with you on your wedding helping you create the day of your dreams so check out our socials page for inspiration and drop us a message to chat things through.

Eddie Young Magic
Firstly, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
When you plan your big day, you want it to be remembered for years to come. Have you thought about who will keep your celebrations on track, who will do all the announcements and who is going to wow your guest on the day?
Well, that’s me your Wedding Emcee. What’s an Emcee, I hear you cry.
Think of me as your modern-day master of ceremonies.
I welcome your guests, introduce the key stages of your day and make sure everyone’s in the right place at the right time (you don’t want Grandad missing when the photographer’s ready to roll).
Then imagine a toastmaster who comes with a quaint brand of humour and memory-making magic
As your wedding emcee I do everything you’d expect from a traditional toastmaster but without the formality and the red tailcoat (so 80’s, don’t you think?).
In a contemporary twist, I use comedy and magic to provide a relaxed energy that creates new friendships and brings families together.
I’ll help your day run smoothly and give everyone lots of laughs and breathtaking moments along the way.

Jane’s Bespoke Flowers
Flowers you can treasure forever!
Let me introduce myself, I am Jane Bond.
I have personally designed and created all the flowers on this site.
I only use carefully selected materials and double satin ribbons, which gives them a beautiful and realistic look which will remind you forever of your special day.
In 2017, Jane’s Vintage Flowers started to provide quality memorabilia to last a lifetime and to forever remind you of your special day.
Since day one, genuine love and passion for quality products and my top-notch customer service has defined who I am and what I do today.
The dedication of my work is reflected through great designs using carefully selected materials and handmade custom orders to make my customers’ shopping experience enjoyable and satisfactory.
I see flowers as a key component to any beautiful event, but beyond that, I know that an event truly ‘wows’ when all design components are thoughtfully crafted and styled to match yours.
Maybe you have the vision, but you’d like us to design a few statement pieces – the dessert table, lounge seating, or at the bar. Let’s talk more. I will then put together a custom quote based on your needs.
Due to the custom work I do, price quotes are provided on an individual basis after discussing all the gorgeousness that defines your event.

Tips for Hosting Children on Your Special Day
The topic of whether children should be invited to weddings is very contentious. Some people firmly believe they have no place and do not invite them, however for other couples it would not be the wedding of their dreams without their children or the children of people they love present. It is fair to say that kids can sometimes find weddings boring or become overstimulated, and either scenario can cause issues. So, this blog assumes you do want to include children on your special day and looks at ways you can ensure they have a fantastic time and there is no stress for the bride and groom and anyone else at the wedding party.
Set Your Expectations
Start by agreeing as a couple the expectations of children being part of the day. Some people have an open event, but others respectfully ask that children be excluded from the formal ceremony but welcomed at the meal and following celebrations. Once you have it in your head how they fit in, making plans for them becomes much easier.
Rehearsing Helps Kids
If some of the children at the wedding will form part of the ceremony, a flower girl, ring bearer, etc., then try and schedule a rehearsal. We have all seen videos of little ones crying or refusing to cooperate at the crucial moment. This is a big deal for them, so knowing what will happen makes it more accessible. Also, make sure what they are wearing is age-appropriate or let them change after the ceremony if you don’t want them crawling on the floor in a pretty dress, and make sure they are warm enough if the weather turns.
Kid-Friendly Eating
Feeding your guests is expensive, but most caterers can add a cheaper, less fussy kids meal that makes things run smoothly. It gives the parents peace of mind, too; trust us, no one wants to be the red-faced stressed parent trying to deal with a child who hates the food and won’t eat. Also, consider incorporating a goodie bag with the kid’s meals. Something to colour and some crayons, a small bag of sweets, a little pocket game, anything that helps them stay entertained. It can be a long time for a child to sit still and stay in one place! Sit your older teens together; they really won’t enjoy adult chat and will much prefer to be with people their age even if they don’t know each other before the day.
Activities
The other option is to look into activities. Some venues have a room set aside and can help organise a children’s entertainer to take over at a certain point, especially if there is going to be a lot of waiting around, or perhaps during the speeches. Other venues will be happy to arrange a big screen where you could leave kid-friendly movies running for any time they need to escape the main party. If you have entertained the children in the day, there is also nothing wrong with putting a curfew on the evening party and requesting that kids are taken home or collected by grandparents for the last few hours – by that point, the parents will probably thank you as they get some time to themselves!
Unique Wedding Guest Book Ideas
Having a guest book for everyone to sign is a traditional part of your big day. It is a lovely way to create a book of memories that you can look back over at any time and remember the magic of the moment. Sadly though, what tends to happen is that this book is placed in a cupboard or drawer where it gathers dust and is rarely looked at. If you want to create something that can take pride of place in your home and serve as a daily reminder, bringing smiles and warm fuzzy feelings while offering a unique take on the guest book idea, here are some alternatives you may want to consider.
Instant Camera/Photo Booth
Photo booths have gained much traction in the wedding world. The equipment, which includes a polaroid camera booth and lots of funny hats, feather boas, wacky glasses and signs, is delivered to the venue, and guests can enjoy snapping creative pictures. One way to create a guest book is to make a coffee table scrapbook of these images or frame them all in a large clip frame. You can even get the guests to design the layout by having the scrapbook on hand and some simple instructions asking them to snap it, stick it and sign it!
Fingerprint Trees
Ahead of the big day, commission someone arty to paint a large, bare branch tree onto an A2 or A1 canvas. All you need then are some ink pads in various colours. Ask your guests to take a finger or thumbprint and place it on a branch as if it were a leaf, and once more, get them to sign it, so you know which print belongs to each guest. It is fun and unusual and makes a gorgeous piece of wall art for your home once the big day is over.
Jenga Blocks
This has to be one of our favourites. Jenga is a popular brick stacking game, and these small wooden blocks are perfect for getting the guests to sign. Each block can be signed by an individual, couple or even family group as it has four sides. It is a talking point and will help you immortalise your guests loving thoughts forever. Depending on your personal choices, there are plenty of ways to stack it for display, either as they are or fixed into place in a frame or abstract structure.
A Box of Blessings
Finally, you could choose to create a box of blessings. Small cards are left with a box for guests to leave their blessings and words of wisdom on your big day. There is much scope to make this unique, from the container you choose to the shape of the paper or cards. Some people opt for a traditional message in a bottle rolled scroll; others pick a heart-shaped card. There is no right or wrong here!
Any suggestions we have included can be customised to suit the two of you perfectly and give you a guest book that will bring you joy forever.
4 Reasons Why You Should Work with a Wedding Planner
4 Reasons Why You Should Work with a Wedding Planner
Planning a wedding can be a significant commitment on your time, and let’s face it, your sanity can take a hit too. Not only are you trying to create the day of your dreams, but you have to bring it in on budget and not upset either set of parents or the bridesmaids and please everyone. It is a tough challenge and something we aim to do once in our lives which is where the problem can arise. When undertaking a new task, practice and prior knowledge make things substantially more manageable, but that isn’t possible when this is your first attempt at planning a wedding, so calling in the professionals is a great way to save yourself work hours and not have to reinvent the wheel. You will also find that your stress levels are significantly lower, so let’s look at why you should work with a wedding planner.
1. Insider Knowledge
As we already mentioned, a wedding planner knows a massive amount, not only about the logistics and timings of getting everything booked but importantly doing it within your local area. This means they will know of any pitfalls to venues, problems with caterers, where to find the best dresses and more. The best part is that this information is in their heads and saves hours of Google searching. It also gives you a third party buffer, someone who is not closely related to the event, to negotiate the best deal, handle issues and complaints and understand how to deal with these companies.
2. They Bring Ideas to the Table
Although most brides have been planning their wedding since the first time they hung a pillowcase off the back of their heads (wisdom imparted to us all by Monica Gellar in Friends, and oh so true), there is always room to expand and augment your plans. Your wedding planner will have seen so many weddings and been involved in their planning that using some of their ideas can complete your goals and help create the perfect day.
3. The Voice of Reason
Weddings can bring out the best and worst in people and come with a ton of etiquette that you haven’t got time to learn. Offending people is all too easy, and it can feel like walking on eggshells. Do you pay for your bridesmaid’s dresses? What happens when the bride’s mother and the future mother-in-law come to blows over the centrepieces? When do you send invitations, and do you need save-the-date cards? Your wedding planner is also a master of diplomacy and tact and understands all the nuances of planning the big day. They can solve problems, give advice and are happy to let you rant when things go wrong.
4. Your Right Hand Man (or Woman)
A wedding planner will have scheduled their diary to ensure they have the time to help you plan, and more importantly, be there on the day to make sure things go off without a hitch. Trust us; you will feel so much better knowing they are in the background making sure the bridesmaids are making good time through hair and makeup, and the best man hasn’t lost the rings!
