Woodland Wedding Celebrant

Ceremonies for nature-loving couples who feel most at home beneath the trees.

Say Hello and let's chat about your plans

Hello, I’m Jodie, an independent celebrant with a soft spot for trees, wild spaces, and ceremonies that feel a little bit magical.

If your idea of the perfect “aisle” is a winding woodland path, your soundtrack is birdsong, and your guests are the type to wear wellies with pride, then a woodland ceremony might just be your happy place. (And if you want to bring your dog…even better.)

I create warm, heartfelt, slightly whimsical ceremonies for couples who want to marry in nature without the fuss, the rules, or the fancy chair covers.

Why choose a Woodland Wedding?

Woodland weddings are atmospheric, intimate, and gently dramatic, in the best possible way.

You get:

🤍 Dappled sunlight (amazing for photos)

🤍 Natural décor (very budget-friendly)

🤍 That “wind in the leaves” soundtrack

🤍 A feeling of total calm

🤍 A setting that looks stunning with almost no effort

And, best of all, you’re not tied to licensed spaces.

With a celebrant, you can choose any woodland that has meaning for you (with permission, of course- we don’t want a showdown with the Forestry Commission).

The woman is wearing a floral dress and flower crown, and the man is in a tuxedo. There are purple and white pillows, a candelabra, and various plants around them.

What your Woodland Ceremony can include?

Whether you want something earthy and spiritual, gently humorous, or beautifully romantic, woodland settings lend themselves to:

🤍 Handfasting with naturally dyed ribbons

🤍 Tree planting ceremonies

🤍 Ring-warming rituals

🤍 Readings inspired by nature

🤍 Acoustic music (guitars sound great in trees)

🤍 Quiet, personal vows

🤍 Grand entrances down mossy paths

🤍 Moments that feel slow, relaxed and meaningful

I’ll help shape everything so the ceremony flows naturally with the environment.

Why Couples choose me for Woodland Ceremonies

I’m relaxed, calm, fun, organised (so you don’t have to be), and genuinely love outdoor weddings.

I’m also fully prepared for the reality of nature: uneven ground, enthusiastic insects, and that one guest who insists they saw a badger!

Your ceremony will feel warm, personal, grounded, and full of the sort of joy that only comes from saying “I do” surrounded by trees.
