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.
Hi - I’m Richard Jansen, a 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.
My current commission fee is £550.
Let’s begin your ceremony commission.
Ceremonies for the curious, the stylish, and the quietly rebellious
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.
The Experience
“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”

Reserve Your Complimentary Discovery Call with Richard
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.
