Hwyl Ceremonies by award-winning independent celebrant Vicky Griffiths in Neath, South Wales. 

Unique, heartfelt, joyful, meaningful and absolutely personal ceremonies. 

Loved by couples and families for the warm, personal and deeply reassuring approach to all celebrations of life.
• Photo taken ‘out the back’ of the house I lived • Photo taken ‘out the back’ of the house I lived in with my Mum and grandparents. 

A five year old kid who everyone said had “puppy fat” (I had no idea what that meant….was I a dog?!) 

I was always taller and stronger than the other kids, I couldn’t run fast but my lord I could carry a sack of coal!

A child five years old, a business five years old… honestly pretty similar observations: playful, curious, the youngest in the school - but not the baby, a little fish in a big pond.  Stacks of energy and dreams about the future.

Moments of vulnerability, laughing at things until your stomach hurts and your eyes water.  Joyful games, verbal stims. 

Giving little Vicky a big high five today ❤️ 45 years on, I hope she’d be proud of woman Vicky.

Q: the best way to start your wedding day? A: You Q: the best way to start your wedding day?

A: Your ceremony ✔️ the start of your celebrations. 

From the first words spoken that welcome family and friends, a rhythmic tone that settles anxious minds but ignites excitement in the neurons and builds anticipation that two people who love each other very much are going to be joined together forever and ever and ever (imagine 🥹)

Next up: the processional.  The arrivals… music, intakes of breath, happy tears.  Holding hands, thinking “here we are, this is us, it’s here, this day we dreamed of”

Settling in now, the love story is told.  Created with love following all the months of getting to know the couple and where it started, where they are at, where they are going.  Laughs, relief, actually enjoying the attention by now.

Then, the intentions, the rings, cwtches and kisses.  Interludes with a toast. 

Carrying us into a finale (designed for you…. always symbolic, always personal) with giddiness in mind, to take us from ceremony to celebration. 

And the recessional (banger of a tune recommended) the couple are greeted with cheers and whistles, shouts and joyful congratulations.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh” I will sigh.  Many times.  And I’ll pack everything away to get back to you.  And I’ll drift off on your love bubble.  And that ceremony, your ceremony will stay with me.  It will live in my heart, and I’ll never forget you.

This is what I do.  And I do it with so much love.  I got you, hands and hearts held, I got you ❤️

Cath & Chris got their album back from @white_lab_ Cath & Chris got their album back from @white_lab_weddings and it was all sorts of joyful.  I spooled through with a massive smile 😃 every picture shows the couple actually *enjoying* themselves during their ceremony, and it wasn’t just because of the fizz 😂

Here’s what they said in their lovely review: “Professional, kind, thoughtful, we class vicky as a friend, not just our celebrant. 

An amazing lady, nothing is too much trouble. Vicky made our wedding day perfect.

We absolutely recommend vicky to anyone to any ceremony or service. Top class! 10/10”

• C H L O E & N A T H A N • I’ve had some organis • C H L O E &  N A T H A N • I’ve had some organised grooms in my time but Nathan, well, Nathan could launch rockets for NASA. He happens to work in IT and planned a whole wedding allowing Chloe to concentrate on her nursing career, just one of the very cute things about this couple who are ying/yang.  I shared their story and they told me how they used to play out in the estate close to where they had their wedding ceremony, in a family members garden 🌳 it was fabulous, an intimate, upbeat and heartwarming time shared in their ceremony with the wedding rings blessed by all the guests, a Celtic hand blessing and whoops and cheers and naughty Bamps Denzil covering the couple in petals!

Celebration drinks were served, then a vintage bus took the guests down to Mumbles for lunch.  It felt very ‘Father of the bride’ with a wedding in the garden and I am very much here for this vibe 🙌🏻

Thank you both for having me as your Celebrant, it was a joy to get to know you 😘

An adorable couple who have taken residency in a little corner of my heart.  Such good company.

It was a beautiful summer day at Fairyhill which began with their ceremony in the meadow; friends shared personally written poems about the love story of Cath & Chris, the ceremony concluded with blessings from the Gods with a limoncello tradition 🍋 we enjoyed music that they deliberated about for weeks, as it was so important to them, music filled the air all day and night from specially curated playlists for every phase of the day, leading to a performance by musician “Trim” for champagne tower and sundowners, DJ with electric drums and sparks got the party started.

We honoured their late Fathers and celebrated the new generations and shared a lot of laughter too.  I was honoured that C&C asked me the stay to be their on the day co-ordinator, so I got a chance to get to know Angharad and Craig from White Lab, who went out of their play to get the ultimate crowd shot with Craig hoisting his wife onto his shoulders (was there a risk assessment?! We’ll never know!) 

This wedding was a vibe : fusing a Scouser ❤️ and a Swan 🦢 a fabulous celebration.
