Bespoke Vow Renewal Ceremonies · UK and Worldwide

Some love stories do not end at the wedding. They deepen. They grow. They survive things nobody warned you about, and come out the other side more certain, more rooted, more real than the day they began. A vow renewal is for that love. The love that has been tested and chosen, again and again, every single day since you first said yes. Whether you are marking a milestone anniversary, celebrating how far you have come, or simply wanting to stand in front of the people who matter most and say it again, with everything you now know, I would be honoured to be part of it. I am Vim. Award-winning UK celebrant, former Deputy Superintendent Registrar, and someone who believes that the second ceremony can be even more meaningful than the first. Because this time, you already know what you are choosing.

No Restrictions. No Registry.
Just You.

Place

You Choose the Venue

The same place you married, or somewhere entirely new. A garden party in the sun, an intimate dinner, or a destination abroad. I have led renewals across the UK and in Southern Africa.

People

You Choose Who Is There

An intimate gathering of ten or a full celebration of a hundred. Either way, the ceremony is built entirely around you — no minimum guest count, no venue conditions.

Tone

You Choose the Tone

Joyful and celebratory. Quiet and reflective. A little of both. There is no wrong answer, only yours. I will write a ceremony that sounds and feels exactly like the two of you.

Poem

And You Get the Poem

For a vow renewal, the bespoke poem carries something extraordinary. It holds not just who you were when you met, but who you have become together. Every single word written just for you.

There Is No Rule About When to Renew

WHO A VOW RENEWAL IS FOR?

Couples come to me for vow renewals at all kinds of moments. Some are marking a big milestone, a decade, a quarter century, fifty years of choosing each other. Some are celebrating making it through something hard. Some simply want a ceremony that reflects who they are now, the people they were at their wedding all those years ago long since grown into someone richer and more layered. Some couples did not have the wedding ceremony they truly wanted first time around and a renewal is the chance to finally have it. The one with the words that sound like them. The one with the rituals that mean something. The one with the poem. Whatever has brought you here, you deserve a ceremony that honours the full weight of the love you have built. And that is exactly what I will create for you.

One of the most wonderful things about a vow renewal is that there is no legal paperwork involved at all. Which means total freedom to hold your ceremony anywhere in the world. I have led renewal ceremonies abroad, including a deeply moving and vibrantly joyful ceremony in Southern Africa in December 2024, and I am genuinely not a little too eager to travel anywhere your love story calls you. Portugal. Spain. Greece. The South of France. Somewhere in Africa that holds a piece of your history. Or simply a favourite place in the UK that you have always wanted to return to together. Wherever it is, I will be there. And I will write you something that makes every person in the room feel the full beautiful weight of what you have built.

Everything You Get

Everything a First Ceremony Has. And Then Some.

01

A Completely New Ceremony Script

Written from scratch, based on conversations we have when we meet. Not a recycled template. A ceremony that reflects who you are now, the story you have lived since you first said yes.

02

Your Bespoke Poem

Between 12 and 16 stanzas, written entirely about you both, performed at your ceremony in front of everyone you love. For milestone anniversaries, this poem often becomes the most treasured thing in the room.

03

Vow Writing Support

Write fresh vows, revisit and update the originals, or keep them a surprise. I will guide you through the whole process with care — you will never feel stuck for words.

04

Symbolic Rituals

Sand ceremony, handfasting, wine box, ring warming. Include your children, other family members, even the same guests who were at the original wedding. All of it is possible.

05

Your Framed Poem Keepsake

Printed on high quality paper and available beautifully framed for your home. A permanent marker of this chapter of your story, to sit alongside everything else the two of you have built.

06

BSL Delivery

If any of your guests communicate through British Sign Language, I am able to deliver your ceremony in BSL so that no one is ever excluded from a single moment.

What Couples say

“We could not say what exactly we were looking for, other than good vibes, warmth and the feeling that they get us. Vim was as excited for the journey ahead as us. She exceeded everything by a million times. The poem she wrote for us was so personal and highlighted the big and small moments in our journey. We cannot wait for the vow renewal.”

— Annisa and Miles, who are already planning to come back

“I would get married again in a heartbeat, minus all the planning, just to have Vim side by side with us during the ceremony planning. She was fantastic in every way. Witty, reassuring, calm, present, knowledgeable and always responsive. The best part of it all, and then the glowing comments from all our guests.”

— Margaret and Simon

“Having Vim as our celebrant brought everything together. She captured our love story so incredibly in the poem that she wrote for us. It did not feel like a working relationship with Vim but honestly more like our sister. We are giving you no option Vim, you WILL be at our 10 year anniversary without a doubt.”

— Priscillah and Cory

The Process

How a Forever Loved Vow Renewal Works

01 We begin with a call. No pressure, no pitch, just a conversation. Tell me where you are in your story, what you are imagining, and what you want the day to feel like. Most couples tell me they felt at ease within the first few minutes.

02 We meet and I listen. Properly, deeply, in the way that only someone who genuinely loves love stories can. I want to hear about the beginning. And the middle. And everything that has brought you to wanting to do this now.

03 I write your ceremony. Every word tailored to you, your journey, and this exact moment in your story together.

04 I travel to wherever you are. Whether that is your garden, your favourite venue in the UK, or somewhere completely across the world, I will be there.

05 Your poem comes home with you. Printed, framed, and ready to mark this chapter on your wall.
