RITES and ROOTS Ceremonies by Alex Clare
Ceremonies with soul, style, and a little bit of edge.
Wedding, Handfasting and Civil Partnership Celebrations
Every love story deserves a ceremony that feels like home—authentic, inclusive, and unforgettable. Whether you're dreaming of a rock-and-roll celebration with moody lighting and bold flair, or a sun-drenched gathering filled with warmth and tenderness, I craft ceremonies that reflect you.
As your celebrant, I bring deep care, creativity, and a touch of magic to every moment. Together, we’ll shape a ceremony that honours your journey, your people, and your vision—whether that means tattoos and classic cars, baby’s breath and white roses, or something entirely your own.

What to Expect on Your Big Day
No stress. No rush. Just a ceremony that's personal, relaxed, kicks ass and is beautifully delivered — with you at the heart of it all.
When you book with me, you’re not just getting someone to stand at the front and read a script — you’re getting someone who’s all in.
You're getting someone with years of experience, someone who's fully insured and DBS checked, and someone who will work through every tiny detail with you to make sure your ceremony feels right for you.
You're getting someone who lives and breathes this life, and someone who will FULLY immerse themselves into your ceremony holding firm your beliefs and values.
I take time getting to get to know you both, meet with you and stay in touch every step of the way.
Your ceremony isn’t just another gig — it’s a one-day-only headline act, and you’re the stars.
Whether you’re walking down the aisle in boots or barefoot, saying “I do” under the stars, in a tattoo studio, or on a windswept cliff, I’ll help you shape a ceremony that’s bold, beautiful, and totally you.
