Supplier of The Month: The Red Fox Celebrant

Today we are chatting to the lovely Georgina from Red Fox Celebrant as our supplier of the month. Georgina has the best energy, perfect to bring your ceremony to life and deliver something personal to the both of you. But we will let her tell you more…

Tell us about you and your business

My name is Georgina, but you can call me "G" and I am the face and big booty behind "The Red Fox Celebrant"! 

Based in the South-East, (but happy to travel anywhere in the UK and beyond) I am a wedding celebrant who creates bespoke, one of a kind, full of fun and love wedding ceremonies for couples looking to break away from the norm and elevate their wedding day. 

What made you decide to start TRFC?

As far back as I can remember, I have been obsessed with weddings. Like seriously. I would create wedding dresses out of toilet paper for my Barbies and I spent hours making little bouquets for them to hold out of Play-Doh, and not meaning to brag... but I got really good at it. 

 When it finally came time to organising my own wedding day, It really opened my eyes to the industry as a whole and how wonderfully creative and expressive it is. I fell in love and adored every second of my planning, resulting in a real lightbulb moment. My dream was to work in the wedding industry. ​In researching how to make my own wedding ceremony unique, I stumbled upon the term "Celebrant" and read up on how these magical fairies can make your wedding ceremony kickass! I loved the idea so much, I booked "Bex The Celebrant" for our special day. Working with her made me realise becoming a celebrant was the goal. She's my celebrant mama and supported me in my dream of becoming a celebrant in my own right! #womensupportingwomen So here I am... still as obsessed with weddings as I ever was, and probably even more so now! Organising them, planning them, DIY'ing them, creating mood boards for them, you name it... anything wedding related, and I'm all over that like a rash!

Now you see why we love her!! What’s been your favourite wedding so far and why?

I adore all my couples and their weddings. It’s a true honour to be asked to be their chosen celebrant, so to pick a single wedding as my favourite is so hard! I’m blessed that my “perfect style” of couple always seems to find me (because I advertise myself as a non-traditional celebrant, I attract non-traditional couples) so every wedding I perform is just so up my street! If I absolutely had to choose one, though, it would be Georgia and Will’s wedding. A stunning woodland extravaganza! The day was the perfect blend of pop punk with the best emo and indie songs from the 2000’s, stunning neon pink florals and bridesmaid dresses, shots of whiskey during the ceremony, a live drummer in the evening, pizza galore and the best atmosphere! It was a day filled with copious amounts of laughter and fun! I became such good friends with the couple, they invited me to stay on as a guest all day! The sweetest gesture! 

What services do you offer

I not only create personalised wedding ceremonies, but I also perform, vow renewals, baby naming ceremonies and business launch ceremonies for grand opening events! 

If you wish to have personalised vows but aren’t sure what to say or how to convey your feelings, I can help create your vows AND speeches! All included in my fee for no additional charge. 

What can couples expect from you as apart of their wedding

Here is everything that each of my couples will receive when they book me as their celebrant. But not only will they have everything included below, they will also gain a friend. I love getting to know my couples so that on the day, it’s not a stranger you’ve booked to conduct your wedding, it’ll be a friend who’s got to know you and your love story. 

Included before the day

• A non obligation Zoom chat before you book to ensure we are a great fit, and I'm the gal for you!

• A face to face meeting once booked if within the same area to really get to know each other, but if not possible due to distance then a face time call works too. This meeting is to discuss your wedding and really hash out ideas for your ceremony before the script writing process begins.

• A WhatsApp group for us three to chat and always be just a message away in case you have any questions or any ideas for your ceremony that pop into your mind that you want to include. I'm here whenever you need me, 

• As much support as you need with regard to writing your vows. 

• A completely unique and bespoke ceremony script, created for you, that tells your love story, exactly as you want to tell it! 

• Ceremony drafts sent to you for your approval. You can make as many amendments as you need upon receiving these drafts, until the ceremony script is 100% perfect and exactly as you want it. 

• A zoom call a few days before the wedding to check in and see how everything is and run through any last minute worries, questions or queries, 

Included on the day

• Little old me exclusively! I only ever commit to one wedding a day, so you have my full undivided attention! 

• I arrive up to an hour early on the day to ensure everything is as you want it. I'll mingle with guests and gently nudge them in the direction they need to be in. I can liaise with your venue co-ordinator to ensure all issues are dealt with as they crop up and complete announcements before your arrival. e.g. If you have a strict rule where you don't want guests taking photos during the ceremony, I will announce this before conducting the ceremony. 

• Conducting your amazing ceremony that tells your love story and has your guests feeling all the feels! 

• Your personalised rituals, surprises, and any additional features to make your ceremony unique!

• If wanted: a wedding certificate for you to sign following the ceremony to allow your photographer to capture that moment. Or if you just want the certificate presented to you, and you don't sign it, then that's fine too! Remember this if your day and you do it your way. If you do want a wedding certificate, this will be designed and printed in your wedding scheme colours to fit the theme of your day.

This sound amazing!! We are huge fans of a celebrant led wedding here at Vicki’s Bridal boutique, for all the reason Georgina has just mentioned!  Most importantly, the best way for couples to contact you.

So if you think a celebrant led wedding is the way to go, and you want to make your ceremony truly epic, then get in touch and let’s organise a non obligation chat and see if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to hear from you! I can feel the weird friendship rising already!
