DORSET BASED WEDDING CELEBRANT
Bespoke, Magical and Guided every step of the way.
​
Hi, I'm Laura Bell. I'm a fully accredited (and insured) Independent Wedding Celebrant in Dorset.
My wedding ceremonies are bespoke and personal. I'm a storyteller, ritual lover and huge fan of weddings!
​
As your wedding Celebrant I am committed to you to give you these three values.
​
1. My Time
2. Connection
3. Detail​
​
Every ceremony I officiate is different because every love story is different. We'll get to know each other, I'll weave your love story into the script and guide you every step of way with glittering inspiration.
​
Choosing between a registrar and an independent celebrant ultimately comes down to the type of ceremony you want to have. If you're looking for a more personal, bespoke experience, an independent wedding celebrant like myself offers the flexibility, creativity, and emotional depth that you may desire.
​
If you want to ensure your ceremony is legally binding but still want to make it special, you can also have a registrar conduct the legal part of the marriage (often in a small, no-frills ceremony) and then have me officiate your celebratory ceremony afterward—combining the best of both worlds.
​
If a registrar or local registry office is offering you exactly what an Independent Celebrant can - they actually can't.
​
Registrars can't guarantee who will be delivering your ceremony on the day, they won't dress to match your colour scheme, they can't write about the hilarious proposal moment when your bikini top fell off, allow a grandparent to share The Lord's Prayer or deliver the ceremony in any area of the venue (licensed or unlicensed). These are the key differences between a registrar and an Independent Wedding Celebrant.
​
A true celebrant wedding ceremony is collaborative from start to finish, not just a few token sentences here and there.
​
My Wedding Ceremony fee is £750. Please find my full package here.

MEET LAURA BELL
Having been a Wedding Celebrant in Dorset for the past 5 years, I have worked across many Dorset Wedding Venues, both licensed and unlicensed for wedding ceremonies. With a Celebrant, you have the ultimate flexibility to have a ceremony that reflects you as a couple, but also ​the location. Many wedding ceremonies can be on beaches, in parks and even back gardens!
​
My previous experience to being a Celebrant was as Weddings Manager for Mapperton House and Gardens. It was here my love for all things weddings was ignited! I witnessed many ceremonies during my time running wedding days but always felt I could offer more. This is when I began my training with The Academy of Modern Celebrancy to become a Celebrant.
​
My 8 years of wedding industry experience mean I have some amazing contacts who I can recommend for your special day. If you're looking for amazing Dorset Wedding Suppliers that match your vibe and wedding style, I can help with that. Not only will I create the wedding ceremony of your dreams and work with your suppliers to make it happen, I'll become a friend on your exciting journey and help guide you through the process - which I know can be super overwhelming at times!
​
I love to meet with my couples before the day so that everyone feels comfortable with how the ceremony will run, the layout and format plus any other questions that may arise.
