Wedding Ceremony Mentoring
From Writing to the Word
Honoring Trust:
The Art of Celebrating Those We Love
Accepting an invitation to celebrate the union of loved ones means taking on the responsibility of preserving a unique and unrepeatable moment. But love alone cannot secure the ceremonial space or resolve unforeseen problems. A structured approach is necessary.
I bring my field experience to this mentorship: I've been a celebrant since 2017 and have conducted over 100 ceremonies. I know exactly what works and where the pitfalls lie.
In this one-to-one session (in person or online), the focus is on you and your specific challenge. I don't just give you theory:
- I answer all your concerns (from the script to nervousness);
- I provide practical solutions for designing rituals and transitions;
- We'll work on your posture and voice for the big day.
Transform your good intentions into an unforgettable celebration.

How to Hire the Team
of Dream
Don't leave the success of your day to chance. I'll teach you how to "read" the market: what to ask, how to analyze quotes, validate contracts, and distinguish quality from amateurism. Gain the autonomy to choose your suppliers with complete confidence and discernment.
Writing Mentorship
of Votes
The feeling is yours, but putting love on paper can be a challenge. In this intimate session, I help you find your voice, avoid clichés, and structure authentic vows. Write vows that are moving now and will still make sense 50 years from now.
