Hi, I’m Sam, The Wrexham Celebrant, and I want to marry you!
I’m so glad you’re considering me to be part of your special day. As a passionate celebrant who specialises in outdoor, inclusive weddings, I’m dedicated to helping couples create meaningful, memorable ceremonies in beautiful surroundings! I believe weddings should be filled with laughter, joy, and a good dose of personality. Whether you want something lighthearted and playful, heartfelt and intimate, or somewhere in between, I will work with you to create something perfect for you!
I believe in celebrating love in all its quirky, beautiful forms, and I’m passionate about making your ceremony fun, personal, and a little bit unexpected. For me, a wedding should celebrate the couple and not focus purely on traditions. Let’s make this moment about you—your style, your love story, and your vibe.
Nature adds a unique, authentic touch that makes each ceremony feel truly one-of-a-kind and gives people the opportunity of holding their celebration somewhere important to them. Whether you dream of exchanging vows under a canopy of trees, barefoot on a sandy beach, or in a wildflower field, I’m here to make your vision come to life.
With a deep love for working in nature, I understand the challenges and joys that come with hosting an outdoor wedding. From coordinating logistics to tailoring ceremonies that reflect your personal love story, I’m here to ensure everything flows smoothly and feels just right – even if we need to switch to welly boots before the ceremony begins!
Let’s make your wedding a dream come true. If you’re ready to begin your journey, or if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch! I can’t wait to be part of your celebration.
With love and kindness,
Sam Purl-Jones

What to Expect from a Celebrant-Led Wedding Ceremony
1. Unique Experience
Every celebrant ceremony is tailored to the couple’s preferences. The celebrant takes time to get to know the couple, their story, and what they envision for their wedding day. This leads to a ceremony that is meaningful, engaging, and full of personal touches.
2. Creative Freedom
One of the main attractions of a celebrant-led ceremony is the freedom to design the ceremony according to your wishes. Couples can choose to include rituals, readings, music, and symbols that resonate with them—whether it’s a handfasting, unity candle, or a personalised vow exchange.
3. No Restrictions on Location
Celebrant-led weddings can take place almost anywhere, as there are no legal restrictions on location. From a rustic barn to a cliff-top overlooking the ocean, your wedding can be as unique as your love story.
4. Incorporating Special Traditions
A celebrant can blend cultural or spiritual traditions, or even create entirely new rituals that are meaningful to you as a couple. Whether you want to honour your heritage or introduce something fun and modern, your celebrant will help weave it into the ceremony.
5. Legal Considerations
While the celebrant will conduct the ceremony itself, a separate legal registration (usually done at a registry office) is required to legally marry in most places. This process is typically simple and can be done either before or after the celebrant-led ceremony. Your celebrant can guide you on the steps involved.
6. Warm, Inclusive Atmosphere
Celebrants focus on creating a warm and inclusive environment for you and your guests. They often incorporate humour, personal anecdotes, and an inviting tone to ensure everyone feels welcomed and involved in the ceremony.
7. Vows and Speeches
A central element of a celebrant-led ceremony is the exchange of vows. Couples can write their own vows or use suggested ones provided by the celebrant. The celebrant also acts as a guide for any additional speeches, making sure that everything flows smoothly.
8. A Memorable Ceremony
A celebrant wedding is more than just the legal formalities; it’s a celebration of love, commitment, and partnership. Celebrants create a memorable, emotional experience that resonates long after the ceremony is over.
