Ceremony Planning & Script Writing
Ceremony Planning
Diana provides full ceremony planning and advice within her all-inclusive fee. This includes sharing her vast and varied collection of readings, and her comprehensive list of classical, contemporary, vocal and instrumental music suggestions for ceremonies. She will also make a venue visit to advise on ceremony set-up and practicalities.
With her reputation as one of the leading experts in her field, Diana is now regularly approached to give ceremony planning and advice to couples who want Diana to cast her magic by designing their personalised ceremony, which will then be conducted by someone other than her, perhaps a friend or relative.
Diana’s scripts include the hugely valuable choreographing and stage managing prompts for the bridal party procession and recession, optimising the layout of the room and technically co-ordinating the music. Her vast expertise and reputation for beautifully worded ceremonies, plus her knowledge of ceremony procedure and protocol, ensures that each ceremony will be planned expertly, with vision, thought and care.
"You simply made our dream wedding so personal and sincere, exactly how I wanted it. Our deep love was so evident in your words and delivery moving our family and friends to tears. I never thought I could design a ceremony to include everything I wanted but with your help I did."
Script Writing
More and more couples are following the USA tradition of choosing a friend or family member to officiate at their wedding ceremony. As they can struggle with the writing of personalised scripts and ceremony content ideas, Diana now offers a full script writing service for discerning couples wanting a meaningful ceremony script tailored specifically to them.
Diana is an accomplished script writer. She has imaginative and varied ideas for additional elements to each bespoke script, tailored to each couple, which have been gleaned over the past decade. After meeting in person, or discussing via Zoom or Skype the client's requirements and taking their personal history, a very beautiful personalised and bespoke script can be written for the couple, with suggestions for vows, music and guest readings.
All Diana’s scripts are professionally proofread to the highest standard, ensuring that they are sent out to clients with no careless typing or grammatical errors.
Scripts written under this service will include all the necessary prompts, and will observe the required protocol and etiquette. Diana remains available remotely to share her professional and expert advice, up to and including the day itself and to supervise a rehearsal, if required.
Please note all scripts are subject to copyright. They are under licence for single person use; therefore circulation, copying, distribution and uploading to the internet is not permitted. Copyright infringement will incur a penalty and possible legal action.

"You took on board everything that we liked and disliked and somehow managed to embody the spirit of both Ben and I into the most beautiful ceremony"
"We had asked a friend to be our celebrant, but wanted a professional script written for them to use, so contacted Diana for her script writing service.
From first contact until now, Diana has been a complete and utter dream to work with. When we first met on Zoom, she instantly put us at ease and seemed genuinely interested in our story and our plans for the wedding and our future. Some wedding providers are only interested in the money, or trying to do things quickly but this is absolutely not the case with Diana. She really does care and puts so much love into her work. She is also very intuitive and picked up on things that we hadn’t told her, like me being more a spiritual person for example, and this really reflected in the script that she did for us.
Had we not already asked our friend to be our ‘celebrant’ on the day, we would most definitely have asked Diana to be our celebrant, she is so lovely and just emanates such kindness.
Diana is extremely talented in her writing. The script brought tears to my eyes from the first draft, both tears of happiness and in the words of remembrance to lost family members.
I cannot praise or highly recommend Diana and her script writing service enough. We feel so lucky to have met and worked with Diana and thank the universe for allowing our paths to cross."
