RITES and ROOTS Ceremonies by Alex Clare
Handfasting
'For the bonds woven with intention, and the love that endures like legend'.
Handfasting is a deeply symbolic ritual—where two hands are bound together with cords that reflect your story, your spirit, and your style. Whether you're drawn to Celtic tradition, or simply love the idea of weaving your love into something tangible, this ceremony is crafted to feel truly yours.
Cords can either be provided by you, or I can work with you to find your perfect cord from eco-friendly suppliers for no extra fee.
Following your ceremony I gift the cord to you in a keepsake box, alongside a commemorative certificate and a printed copy of your ceremony script—so you can revisit the magic whenever you wish.
Handfastings can be woven into your Rites and Roots wedding or civil partnership ceremony as an optional extra symbolic ritual element.

Renewal of Vows and Commitment Ceremonies
'For the stories still unfolding, and the vows that still hold true'.
Not every love story needs a legal label. These ceremonies are a celebration of choosing each other—wholeheartedly, intentionally, and in your own way.
Whether you're marking a milestone, renewing your vows, or simply honouring the life you've built together, I’ll craft a ceremony that feels true to you. It can be bold and theatrical, soft and sacred, or somewhere in between. Together, we’ll shape the words, the rituals, and the atmosphere to reflect your rhythm and your relationship.
Each couple receives a bespoke keepsake box, a commemorative certificate, and a printed copy of your ceremony script—a tangible reminder of the promises made and the love shared.
If you have something specific in mind, I’m always happy to talk through options and tailor the experience to suit your day.
