Wedding planning and ceremonies for couples whose story crosses borders.
Based in London. My specialty areas are the UK, Toronto/Ontario, and the Philippines — happy to travel further afield for the right day.
About
I planned my own proposal down to the last detail — a quiet stretch of beach in Siargao, Philippines, a hidden message in a bottle, a photographer stationed out of sight, and a speech I rehearsed until it felt effortless. Angela and I are now planning our own wedding with that same level of care — a legal ceremony in Toronto, a celebration in the Philippines, months of vendor calls, and a guest list split across continents. If your day comes with that kind of complexity — cross-border logistics, a lot of moving parts, or simply wanting everything to go as close to perfect as possible — that's exactly the kind of problem I like solving. I do this work because I love taking something complicated and making it feel simple for the people actually living through it.
I started close to home: three Toronto weddings as MC and day-of coordinator so far, running the reception from first look to last dance — timeline held, room laughing, zero dead air. I'm also in the process of getting licensed to ordain weddings in Toronto, if that's useful to know for anyone planning one there. And I grew up around this industry — my father worked as a wedding videographer for decades, so I've been around a huge number of weddings over the years and bring that experience into every one I plan.
I help couples build a day that actually sounds like them — the ceremony, the reception, the traditions from both families, the moments that matter — while someone else handles the legal paperwork, wherever that needs to happen. Nothing here is recited from a script. It's built from scratch, with you.
Why work with me
Cross-border, not just "well-travelled"
Most celebrants can talk about weddings in general. I planned my own cross-border proposal in the Philippines, and I'm doing the same work now for our wedding — a Toronto legal signing, a Philippines celebration, and a UK guest list that barely overlaps with either. I can talk you through that logistics because I'm living it, not reading about it.
The ceremony, done properly — and the legal side, made clear
No independent celebrant's ceremony is legally binding on its own, anywhere. I'll tell you exactly what that means for your specific wedding location and make sure the legal step is simple, not stressful.
One person, several roles
Ceremony, vows, and reception hosting can all run through me, so the tone of your day doesn't reset every time someone new picks up the microphone.
Built around you, not a template
Every ceremony is written from your relationship — not filled in from a form.
Your own planning dashboard
Every booking includes a shareable Notion dashboard for your day — itinerary, setup checklist, and the rest, in one place. See an example.
If you want a flawless, well-organized, and incredibly fun wedding, hiring him is an absolute no-brainer.
