Thoughtfully crafted

Quietly unforgettable

This is the beginning of everything

A moment that deserves to feel magnetic, meaningful — unmistakably yours.

I don’t take bookings; I take commissions. I’m Richard Jansen, a Wedding Celebrant for couples and families who value elegance, authenticity, and a ceremony that feels anything but ordinary.

With a background in Royal and international events, I bring calm presence, editorial instinct, and artistry to every celebration — whether it’s a wildflower-filled estate in the Cotswolds, a candlelit loft in SoHo, the ballroom at The Dorchester, or an alpine chalet above Gstaad.

Based between the Cotswolds and London, I create bespoke ceremonies across the UK and internationally. Couples and their guests have welcomed me into celebrations around the world — always with creative flair, quiet confidence, and absolute discretion.

Let’s begin your ceremony commission.

Ceremonies for the curious, the stylish, and the quietly rebellious

The Experience

It begins with a free, no-obligation online conversation —
warm, personal, and entirely focused on you.
A chance to connect, wherever you are in the world.
I work across time zones and keep things effortless.

We begin by exploring your love story, your vision,
and the atmosphere you want to create —
then, we meet in person and begin shaping something quietly extraordinary.

What follows is intentionally crafted —
poetic, personal, and rooted in your voice.

I’m here to guide, support, and hold space —
so that what you feel on the day is unforgettable.

“Having gotten to know Richard, it’s clear he brings the soul of an artisan to his role as a celebrant.

Just as a couture gown is crafted to reflect the spirit of the bride, his ceremonies are shaped with artistry and care to honour each couple’s unique story - with warmth, elegance, and a deeply personal touch”

“Thank you for spending time here.

If something in these words has sparked a feeling — or simply a quiet curiosity —

I’d love to hear your story.

Whether you're just beginning to shape your wedding plans or already deep in the details, this is the start of something meaningful.

And if you're looking for a Wedding Celebrant who will craft something deeply personal — with intention, warmth, and quiet elegance —

I’d be honoured to walk a small part of that journey with you.

No pressure. Just presence.

Let’s begin something beautiful”

Let’s begin with a conversation — a chance to connect, share your story, and explore how it might be curated into a ceremony that’s thoughtful, beautiful, and entirely your own.

I take on only a limited number of bespoke commissions each year, ensuring every ceremony receives the time, care, and artistry it deserves. Many couples secure their date well in advance — often a year or more — so early conversations are always recommended.

This isn’t about a booking; it’s about a commission — a considered investment in a ceremony created with elegance, intention, and discretion.

Now commissioning ceremonies for 2026 / 2027 — early conversations are always welcomed.

Beyond the Ordinary

No two love stories are the same. The best ones are rare – unpredictable, surprising, and heart-led, just like my ceremonies.

As your celebrant, I don’t follow a script. I curate each ceremony like an artist – listening, weaving, creating something that feels alive and true. Whatever your age, culture, beliefs, gender identity, or physical ability, I welcome it all.

Because the best love stories are always the ones that stand apart.
