Outdoor Wedding Celebrant

Relaxed, personal ceremonies for couples who love the outdoors, laughter and doing things their own way.

Hi I’m Jodie

A simple dark blue line drawing of a heart with a small loop at the top center.

The heart behind Everlong Ceremonies, an independent wedding celebrant creating fabulous, personal ceremonies in Hampshire, covering Portsmouth, Southampton, Chichester and beyond.

If your idea of a perfect wedding includes windswept beaches, woodland clearings, vineyards at sunset, castle ruins, garden gatherings, or somewhere wonderfully “very you,” then we’re off to a great start.

Do you love being outdoors, sharing laughter, embarking on adventures, and doing things your own special way? Then you’re in exactly the right place.

Your ceremony shouldn’t feel like a formality to sit through.

It should feel like you.

Your ceremony should feel like you

As a celebrant, I don’t do boring scripts. I do natural, warm, emotional, and sprinkled with laughter.

So here is what I do:

  • I get to know your story (the cute bits, the chaotic bits, the “please don’t tell my nan” bits)

  • I write a completely bespoke script

  • You add or remove anything you like, yes, even that joke!

  • We shape a ceremony that feels relaxed and joyful

  • I keep everything flowing smoothly on the day

  • And you get a ceremony your guests will genuinely remember

Whether you’re barefoot on the beach, wrapped in blankets in a forest, or celebrating under bunting in a garden, I’ll bring your vibe to life.

Why choose a celebrant-led outdoor ceremony?

Hampshire is a dream location. We have coastlines, countryside, vineyards, castles, farms, and hidden gems everywhere you look, and outdoor ceremonies let you genuinely feel the moment.

Birdsong for background music. Fresh air instead of four walls. Space to breathe, laugh, cry and celebrate.

But the real magic of a celebrant-led ceremony? …Freedom.

You’re not restricted to licensed venues, set scripts or rules. You can say your vows anywhere you dream of, and I’ll guide you through what works practically (because I’m organised like that) while keeping the magic front and centre.

  • "One of my favourite touches was that she included an Emily Brontë quote from Wuthering Heights because she knew how much I love the film. It was such a thoughtful addition and showed just how much care she puts into creating a ceremony that truly reflects the couple she is working with."

Where I work

If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that people still talk about a year later - I’d love to hear your story.
