    Holden performed our vow renewal ceremony this month and was an absolute DREAM to work with!

    They were friendly and attentive throughout the entire planning process, and had helpful advice every step of the way. They encouraged us to incorporate our favourite things into their script, which ultimately wound up with a very fun, very silly ceremony with lots of laughter. (We even had a dnd dice exchange and a Lord of the Rings reading, what a win!).

    I wish we'd known about you before our actual wedding!! We'd absolutely recommend them, for the giddiest, and gayest, celebration 🩷🏳️‍🌈

    Holden was everything and more that my wife and I could have asked for. We've been married for about 10 years and Holden crafted the most beautiful vow renewal ceremony for us. They listened deeply to our story and wove words together to tell it better than we could ourselves. If you are looking for a celebrant in the UK that champions love and joy, part of the LGBTQ+ community, and a celebrant who will go lengths to truly honour and celebrate you as a couple, then I highly recommend Holden. Seriously, stop looking now and just reach out to them. You won't regret it.

    Sian says:

    The ceremony by Holden was absolutely impeccable, meaningful and every word was intentionally and meticulously placed. They made the ceremony endearing, and hilarious all at the same time. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better. They really take the time to get into the relationship and truly understand what we are to each other and made it completely special to us 🤍

    Nicole says:

    Holden was an absolute pleasure and a delight to work with, they took the time to understand the dynamics of the relationship I have with my partner and made it really personal and heartfelt. I will say, be warned they will pull at your heartstrings with their beautiful words and make it really difficult not to get a bit teary, there won’t be a dry eye in the house on your special day.

    From the moment we first started communicating with Holden, we knew we were in the best hands. Even before we met in person, their warmth, sincerity, and genuine passion for love shone through. They took so much care in getting to know us—our story, our quirks, what makes our relationship ours—and held it all with such tenderness and joy.

    Holden didn’t just write a ceremony—they crafted a moment that felt deeply personal, heartfelt, and full of light. The way they told our story in their own beautiful voice was moving, authentic, and unforgettable.

    They made us feel completely seen, welcomed, and celebrated. Their presence set the tone for everything: warm, loving, and full of meaning.

    We’ll always be grateful to Holden for giving us a ceremony that felt like the truest reflection of our love.
