Script Writing Services You Provide the Reader and I'll Provide the Words
When You Want THAT Person to Officiate
You've got someone special you want to officiate:
- your best mate
- sister
- that uncle who's brilliant at public speaking
You want them up there, but you also want a script that's truly personal, not Googled at 2am.
That's where I come in
What I Offer
I'll write you a ceremony script that's:
Completely unique to you – your story, your style, your vibe
- Professional and polished – flows beautifully, hits the right notes
- Ready to deliver – with guidance notes for your reader
- Utterly personal – sounds like it was written specifically for you (because it was!)
Important Note: When I write scripts, they reflect my personality and style (with a soft Scottish accent). Make sure your reader can carry off my unique style.
They dont need to be good at accents, but may need to remember their glasses!
Who Is Script Writing Perfect For?
-
You Want Someone Specific to Officiate:
Maybe they can't attend planning meetings with a celebrant, or you just really want it to be them.

Budget Considerations:
Having a friend officiate with a professional script can be more budget-friendly.
-
Professional Quality Without a Professional Celebrant:
Get the polished, personal ceremony without booking a celebrant for the day.

Destination Weddings:
Sometimes easier to have someone travel with you (and to leave me behind!)
-
You've Got a Confident Reader:
They need to be comfortable with public speaking and able to deliver emotion authentically.

They can tweak phrases to match their speaking style.
-
Rehearse Together –
Run through it to suggest pacing or emphasis.

Plan the Logistics –
Where they stand, when they enter, where the script goes during ring exchange.

Have a Backup –
Print multiple copies. Weather, nerves, and real life happen.
