Full of laughter where it belongs
Full of meaning where it matters
Bespoke wedding ceremonies for couples who want their guests still talking about it after the reception.
Before the first dance. Before the speeches. Before the cake, the confetti, the moment someone's uncle hits the dance floor, there is the ceremony.
The moment everything begins. The heart of your day, the reason you are there, and the part your guests will carry with them long after everything else has blurred into a beautiful memory.
That's the part I take care of.
I'm Kate Etherton, and I write every word of your ceremony from scratch, shaped entirely around you, your relationship, and the room full of people who love you.
You deserve more than a template borrowed from someone else's day. This day belongs to you.
“The ceremony your guests remember long after the confetti settles”
Every couple is different. Every family unique. Every room full of guests — from four people in a meadow to four hundred in a grand hall — carries its own mix of personalities, histories and emotions.
A great ceremony holds all of that gently, without ever losing the thread back to the two people at the centre of it all.
I have a natural instinct for reading what a room needs — when to lean into the laughter, when to let a moment breathe, when to bring everyone quietly back to what the day is really about. I know how to carry an intimate gathering and how to hold a crowd. I know that the best ceremonies make every single person in the room feel like they belong.
And when something doesn't go quite to plan, you want someone who can hold the moment, adapt without a flicker, and make the unplanned feel like it was always meant to happen.
That's not luck. That's preparation meeting presence, and it’s my job to make it truly special and seamless.
it doesn’t end when you walk back down the aisle.
From the ceremony itself to helping your wedding party find the words they're looking for, I can work with you on every element that shapes how the day feels. Because the ceremony doesn't end when you walk back down the aisle. It echoes through every speech, every toast, every moment that follows.
In addition to bespoke wedding ceremonies written entirely around you, delivered with warmth and confidence on the day, feel free to ask me how I can help with the rest of the festivities.
For example, I also offer speech writing support - for the best man who's been staring at a blank page for weeks and is now in danger of sounding like AI, the father of the bride who wants to get it exactly right, the maid of honour with a hundred things to say and no idea where to start, I am here to help.
every love Story deserves to be CELEBRATED
I believe every love story should be celebrated fully and without reservation.
I’m as committed as you are
Every couple I work with gets my complete attention — from our very first conversation to the moment I send you into your married life. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to make sure of it.
If you're looking for a ceremony as unique as your relationship — full of warmth, wit, and every word written just for you — I'd love to hear your story.
every moment deserves to be marked
I also officiate funerals, vow renewals, namings and gender affirmation ceremonies.
If you have a moment that matters, I'd love to help you mark it.
