Celebrate your journey with a vow renewal ceremony
Marriage isn't a destination
– it's a journey. A journey through joy and challenge, growth and change, laughter and sometimes tears.
A vow renewal is a chance to pause, look at each other, and say: "Look at everything we've been through. Look at what we've built. I'd choose you all over again."
Whether you're marking a milestone anniversary, celebrating overcoming challenges together, or simply want to recommit to your partnership, I'll help you create a ceremony that honours your journey and celebrates your future.
Who this is for
Vow renewals suit couples at any stage of their marriage:
- Celebrating a milestone anniversary (10, 25, 50 years)
- Marking your journey after overcoming challenges
- Including children or grandchildren in a family celebration
- Having the ceremony you always wanted but didn't have first time around
- Simply wanting to celebrate your love and recommit to each other
There's no wrong time to renew your vows. The right time is whenever it feels meaningful to you.

Why renew your vows?
-
To mark a milestone
Whether it's 10, 25, or 50 years together, significant anniversaries deserve to be celebrated properly.
-
To recommit after challenges
Some couples renew their vows after going through difficult times – illness, loss, struggles – as a way of saying "we made it through, and we're stronger for it."
-
To include loved ones
If you eloped or had a very small wedding, a vow renewal can be a chance to celebrate with everyone who matters to you.
-
To have the ceremony you always wanted
Maybe your original wedding wasn't quite what you hoped for. A vow renewal is your chance to create the celebration you always dreamed of.
-
Because love deserves celebrating
Sometimes the best reason is simply that you love each other and want to shout it from the rooftops.
The ceremony itself
Unlike a wedding ceremony, a vow renewal is entirely about what you want. There are no legal requirements, no traditions you must follow unless you choose to.
Some couples prefer something intimate – just the two of you, perhaps at a place that's special to your relationship. Others want to celebrate with everyone who's been part of your journey – children, grandchildren, the friends who've walked alongside you.
We can include:
- Reflection on your journey together
- New or renewed vows
- Ring blessings or ring exchanges
- Readings from loved ones
- Involvement of children or grandchildren
- Symbolic rituals
- Music that's meaningful to you
- Anything else that feels right
The ceremony is typically 20-30 minutes, though we can make it shorter or longer to suit you.
How we'll work together The process is similar to planning a wedding ceremony, just often a bit more relaxed:
-
1. Initial conversation
We'll talk about what you're celebrating and what you'd like your ceremony to include.
-
2. Booking
Once you decide to work with me, you'll complete booking forms and pay a deposit to secure your date.
-
3. Questionnaires and conversations
You'll tell me about your journey together – the highs, the lows, what you've learned, how you've grown.
-
4. Ceremony creation
I'll craft a ceremony that honours your past and celebrates your future.
-
5. Review and refine
You'll review the ceremony and we'll make any changes until it's perfect.
-
6. Your celebration
I'll deliver your ceremony, then you'll celebrate with whoever you've chosen to share this moment with.
Why choose me
-
I understand the depth of long-term commitment
As someone who raised a child as a single parent and has navigated life's ups and downs, I understand that real love isn't just the easy parts – it's choosing each other through everything.
-
I create ceremonies that acknowledge reality
Your vow renewal ceremony won't be full of romantic idealism. It'll acknowledge the real work of partnership, the challenges you've faced, and the genuine love that's seen you through.
-
I bring warmth and authenticity
I'll guide you through this with care, help you find the right words, and deliver your ceremony with genuine emotion.
-
I celebrate all kinds of love
Whether you're celebrating 5 years or 50, whether you're a traditional couple or blazing your own trail – your love deserves to be honoured.
Frequently asked questions
Entirely up to you. Some couples exchange new rings, some rebless their original rings, some don't include rings at all.
