We work together to personalize and create a unique unforgettable wedding ceremony.

There are many rituals and readings we can include in a wedding ceremony. This time we had two beautiful readings that the couple chose, read by family members. There are many ideas and ways how to personalize the wedding ceremony to your personality and requirements.

There are legal wedding vows you have to repeat after your celebrant. But in the ceremonies I conduct, you are more than welcome to add your own personal wedding vows. I can advise as well as give you a collection of sample vows you can choose from. After reciting the legal vows after me, both the bride and the groom read out their own vows which they had written to each other.

Contact me so we can start planning and organising your very wedding ceremony too.

My wife and I are very glad we chose Orna to be our celebrant. She is very professional prior to and during our ceremony. Clear and concise voice and very prepared for our ceremony. We especially really appreciate the ceremony folder she has gifted us. Definitely would recommend Orna.
