\n She said: “After being named best newcomer at the previous TWIA, it is a huge vote of confidence and I’m absolutely blown away. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my clients’ generous feedback and for trusting me on the most special of days.”\n<\/p>\n
\n “It really is the icing on the cake”, she said, “Taking the time to get to know my couples to create a truly bespoke wedding ceremony that’s full of memorable moments and personal touches without any rules of restrictions is a total pleasure and a real privilege.”\n<\/p>\n

\n She says her 25 years in corporate communications as a professional writer and storyteller for brands and businesses has proven invaluable in her role to deliver memorable ceremonies from scratch.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “The Statutory Ceremony at the Register Office is a great option and ensures that my couples can have a one-of-a-kind ceremony on their wedding day in front of all their guests with me without any rules or restrictions on music, readings, rituals, faith, vows or promises.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This allows for a truly celebratory ceremony that reflects them and their wishes entirely because the legalities have already taken place.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Couples described her story telling as “magical”. One said: “Her amazing story telling was just magical and she got us and the mood spot on”. Another said: “Suzi is a beautiful creative writer. How she transformed our love story into our ceremony was quite amazing – pure genius.”\n<\/p>\n
\n She only books one wedding a day, allowing for limited time constraints on the couple. She said: “If a guest of bride is running late or we want to wait for the weather to pass, we can. Unlike a council registrar, I’ll have no time constraints or other weddings to rush off to, so I can help with alleviating stress levels and any other unforeseen circumstances.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Bespoke barn ceremonies have proved a particular hit, including Stratton Court Ban in Bicester, Notley Tythe Barn near Aylesbury and Old Luxters Barn near Henley-on-Thames.\n<\/p>\n
