First of all, can I say how excited I am for you! 🙂  It means a lot to me that you are here, and I hope you will soon realise how much I would love to be able to help you! 

You are taking a step forward in such an exciting time in your lives, and I am so glad you have decided to look for a Celebrant. 

If you are looking for a personal, inclusive and sincere ceremony, full of meaning, and truly represents you and your beliefs and values, is filled with storytelling, love, and laughter,  then you have found someone who will be there for you 100%, get to know you, and take every step with you. 

I promise,  you and your ceremony will be in safe hands! 

We would highly recommend Yvonne as a wedding celebrant. It is such an important thing to get right and we were so delighted that someone had recommended Yvonne to us. She instantly put us at ease with her friendly emails and relaxed telephone conversations which allowed Yvonne to get an idea of the sort of people we were and what kind of ceremony we were hoping for. She was in regular contact and really seemed to care that we had a ceremony that fitted us as a couple. We felt that the service that Yvonne provides is excellent value for money and we feel lucky that we have some wonderful memories of our day thanks to Yvonne.  Eleanor and Sam. 

I believe that every love story is unique, and therefore deserves a unique ceremony – don’t you?  Every family has it’s own story and sharing life’s major milestones is important, to make those lasting memories.  I am a firm believer in equality and that every couple should be able to celebrate in any way they choose!

I love creating ceremonies for Weddings, Vow Renewals, Elopements, Blessings, and Commitments, and can’t wait to find out what your plans and ideas are! 

Your ceremony is the heart of your day,  and should authentically represent you, your style, ideas, personalities, so it will not be a “one size fits all” template, where only the names are changed.  I want you to have exactly what you have dreamed of, without restrictions on timing, format, content and location, and a ceremony that is totally tailored to reflect your ideas, values and beliefs.  

Yvonne is a superb Celebrant who did a fantastic job with our wedding in June 2019 in London. She was extremely organised beforehand, giving us lots of chances to review the script and lots of good advice. On the day she was great at delivering the words we had chosen together, and spoke very clearly and with warmth. She has a happy presence, and very professional, and put us all at ease, making it much easier than it could have been! We would have no hesitation in recommendng her! John and Julie.

It’s really important to me that you have that choice, and that your ceremony contains your voice, and your personality. It’s also important to me, that everyone has the chance to celebrate their relationship in the way they wish, irrespective of their lifestyle.  Pop over to my “What does a Celebrant do?” page for more detailed information about how I can help, and hopefully get a little more inspiration! Oh and do check out my Top Tips for a Stress Free Ceremony page where I share my suggestions and advice, based on the 10 years’ experience I have as a Celebrant! 

It is also part of my role to help you with many more aspects of your ceremony, to guide and support you on this special occasion, so get in touch to find out more, and let’s just talk about your plans, and get to know one another a little.  Then, if you’d like to book, we can take things from there.

Yvonne was truly a wonderful person to perform our ceremony. She took the time to meet with us, understand what we were about and showed passion in wanting to deliver a meaningful, bespoke ceremony for us, which she did 100%. She was open to adapting to us, using terminology that she may have not have been familiar with to personalise our ceremony but she embraced it all and brought the best smiles and laughter to our guests as well as ourselves. She gave us the relaxed vibe that we wanted but maintained professionalism. She brought personality to our union and we could not be happier with her. She was great from the very beginning. She took the time to have a phone interview, meet in person, was patient with our responses, flexible and was on time on the day. We thank you Yvonne for a truly amazing ceremony.Love Lerum and Shereena

Yvonne Beck Personal Message to website visitors from Yvonne Beck on Vimeo.

My own Celebrant journey began in 2003 when I was invited to attend a friend’s wedding in Australia, and was blown away by her totally personalised Ceremony, not just the location, but also the format and content.  I really loved the freedom they had to express themselves authentically, and when asked if I would like to speak to their Celebrant, I was excited and curious!  I was totally enchanted with the role : blending stories with rituals and creating magic and memories!  In 2011, I stepped back from a long career in public service, and began building my career as a Family and Marriage Celebrant.  I completed my Training in May 2011, and became a member of  the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants.

I am both excited and proud to have have been asked to create and deliver over 300 ceremonies for amazing couples!  Life offers so many possibilities, and since moving to Germany in 2017 with my husband, I have been able to celebrate Weddings, Elopements and Vow Renewals, both in the UK as well as in beautiful locations in Europe.  German was my mother’s language, but it was only following our move to Berlin in 2017 that I began offering ceremonies in both English and German, or incoroporate German traditions, quotes and poetry into the ceremony, and love how inclusive and special this makes everyone feel.  

Thank you so much again for the wonderful ceremony, you made our day really special and the way you performed the ceremony was just perfect. We’ve had so many positive comments from our family and friends, both English and German – it felt very personal and was exactly how we imagined our wedding to be like.  Tami and Sam, Bilingual Wedding 

Our celebrant..Yvonne Beck Wedding Celebrant, who understood the need and desire for this ceremony even though we had already had one, who wrote the most heartfelt and personal things to say and did 2 beautiful traditional German wedding practices. Thank you Yvonne!  Melissa and Shane
