Ceremonies by David Allbutt

Every life event deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels heartfelt and true to you.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, vow renewal, naming ceremony, or another special milestone, I create ceremonies that reflect your story, your values, and the people you love.

Based in Manchester and serving Cheshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, and the North West, I work closely with each family or couple to craft something deeply personal — never scripted from templates, always built around your journey.

Whatever you’re celebrating, it begins with a conversation.
I’d love to hear what this moment means to you.

💍 Weddings

Your love story, beautifully told.

Your wedding ceremony should feel personal, joyful, and authentically you. I’ll craft a bespoke script that reflects your connection and the atmosphere you want for your day — whether it’s intimate, modern, traditional, or something completely unique.

💞 Vow Renewals

✨ Full details are on my Wedding Ceremonies page.

A celebration of your journey together.

Vow renewals are a beautiful way to honour your relationship — whether you’re marking a milestone anniversary, reaffirming your love, or celebrating with friends and family who weren’t present the first time.

Your ceremony may include:

• Your original vows (or new, rewritten ones)

• Stories and memories from your relationship

• Rituals such as candles, handfasting or unity sand

• Involvement of family or children

Warm, reflective, joyful — always personal.

Vow Renewal Fee: £490

🌈 Naming Ceremonies

Welcoming new life, love, and family.

A naming ceremony is a wonderful alternative to a christening — a warm, inclusive celebration that welcomes a child, honours your values, and brings family together.

Your ceremony may include:

• Readings, promises, and wishes

• Guide-parents / supporting adults

• Symbolic gestures (candle lighting, tree planting, blessing stones)

• Family involvement

Relaxed, meaningful, and crafted with genuine care.

Naming Ceremony Fee: £390

🌟 Life Event Ceremonies

Marking the moments that shape us.

Not every celebration fits neatly into a category — and that’s what makes it special.

I create ceremonies for:

• Commitment ceremonies

• Family unity celebrations

• Blended family milestones

• Significant anniversaries

• Personal rite of passage

If it’s meaningful to you, we can create a ceremony around it.

Life Event Fee: £350

No matter which ceremony you choose, you’ll receive:

✔ A relaxed consultation (online or in person)
✔ A completely bespoke script
✔ Guidance with structure, vows, readings & ideas
✔ Support planning symbolic rituals
✔ Professional delivery on the day
✔ A keepsake printed script to treasure

Inclusive, heartfelt, and created with respect for your beliefs, identity, and values.
