WEDDING POETRY
Poetry with a difference for your wedding.
Your wedding day deserves more than a standard speech. Imagine hearing your story told through the eyes of the people who love you most. The tiny details, the memories, the moments you didn’t know they noticed.
I create and perform bespoke spoken-word poetry for weddings, shaped entirely around you.
How It Works
I gather your stories
You choose who you’d like me to hear from. Your closest friends, family, wedding party, or even every guest as part of your RSVP process. I’ll send them a thoughtful survey with the questions I need to understand your story, your relationship, and the things that make you who you are together.
I turn your words into poetry
I read every response carefully, looking for the details, memories, and emotional threads that bring your story to life.
I then shape them into a personal spoken-word piece, usually around five minutes long, written entirely for you.
You choose how it reaches you
You can choose to receive your piece in whichever way feels right for your wedding.
Some firm favourites have been:
A live performance from me as part of your ceremony, working with celebrants, yourselves, and your guests.
A written speech ready to be read or shared on the day.
A reading during cocktail hour giving your guests something to remember.
A displayed poetry print in your welcome space telling your story.
Poetry woven into your day, however it suits you!
Available Worldwide
I’m based in Cornwall, UK, but my work can and does travel.
For a live performance, I’m available to travel worldwide and have already been flown to beautiful places to help people celebrate their most important days.
Travel and accommodation for live performances will be discussed as part of your enquiry.
I bet poetry wasn’t first on your Pinterest board, but this is why you should consider adding it:
This is truly something your guests won’t expect. We all know people congratulate good speeches; imagine the reaction when there’s a whole spoken-word piece so unique to your story.
Your wedding will likely already have flowers, music, photographs, and speeches. It is unlikely to have a piece of writing made from the memories of yourselves and everyone you love. It might make people laugh, it might make people cry, it will definitely remind everyone why they are in that room. But most of all, it belongs entirely to you.
Love In All Its Forms
I love writing for all kinds of love. But as a lesbian woman, writing for queer couples holds a special place in my heart.
I know that building a life together can carry its own layers of meaning. The courage to choose one another, the joy of creating your own traditions, the people who have supported you to become fully yourself.
I would be honoured to write for your wedding.
Limited availability.
I only accept a small number of wedding commissions each year, as I want to give every couple my full attention.
From the initial call to gathering responses to forming and performing your poem. This is deeply personal work that deserves my full attention.
If you’re getting married in 2027 I have limited slots available, with bookings now happening in 2028 also.
Please get in touch, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate.
