Handfasting Ceremonies
Handfasting Ceremonies are an ancient wedding tradition of the Celtic Isles. Throughout your ceremony, we weave our way around the 4 elements, blessing and honouring your union as we go.
About Handfasting Ceremonies
Through the deeply divine training I experienced in Glastonbury, and through a further 7 years of experience, I am able to conduct your Handfasting ceremony unscripted. Without the shield of a script, I conduct ceremonies from the heart, and with the divine having the space to flow through and into your ceremony.
These ceremonies are initiations for your union, an invitation to surrender to all that your love for each other carries. This is an initiation of powerful connection, one that is forged in the sacred fire of your love, cooled in the waters of harmony, and one that is brought into physical reality by the energies and divine present throughout your ceremony.

The Temple of Cornwall is wonderful. Rebecca brings two souls together with her amazing handfastings which are completely bespoke to you. We made our own cord for the day which we received our blessings on from close friends and even complete strangers which we cherish. As she delivered our ceremony she managed to touch the hearts of all who were there. I can not recommend her highly enough and this review alone does not do her justice. Rebecca helped create our beautiful day and I can only imagine what she will help you with in the future.

We held the ceremony in our back garden and Rebecca made it feel like the perfect place to be – her confidence and professionalism made sure everyone was able to relax and enjoy the moment – her warmth and empathy made it extra special and the memories we have from that day will be treasured for the rest of our lives – we can’t thank her enough.

We would highly recommend Rebecca. We went to Rebecca as our wedding was cancelled but still wanted to mark the day. Rebecca worked with us before the ceremony to personalise it checking we were happy to include certain bits and worked everything around us. Very friendly, made us both feel at ease and nothing was too much trouble.

Rebecca is a brilliant Ceremonial Priestess. She was patient, helpful and positive throughout the experience and guided us seamlessly through the process, before and during the event. She made our handfasting a truly beautiful experience and it was exactly the right tone for us. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Rebecca performed a handfasting ceremony for my son and his fiancée. Rebecca was very professional from the moment we contacted her until after the ceremony. She provided a beautiful bespoke ceremony, explaining the history of the handfasting, and the meaning of all the symbols present within the sacred circle. She kept calm when we all got stressed and emotional. Rebecca went the extra mile to make sure the ceremony was perfect. I am so grateful to you Rebecca for making my son's wedding day so special and magical. You are a beautiful Ceremonial Priestess inside and out. My sincere gratitude. Lucky are the future couples that will have the privilege to have you celebrating their union.
