✓You have made the decision to commit yourself to sharing life’s journey with your loved one.
✓The two of you are planning a wedding, or you would like a non-legal commitment or vow renewal ceremony.
✓It is important to you that your ceremony be meaningful and beautiful, and reflect your uniqueness as a couple.
✓You would like a memorable ceremony that honours this sacred step you are taking together.
Sonia Beverley offers all that!
Your ceremony may include aspects of traditional weddings, rituals from more than one culture and/or religion, new rituals created just for you, and symbolic elements that reflect who you are. Your ceremony may be spiritual without being religious; or meaningful without being spiritual.
Sonia will work closely with you to ensure the ceremony honours your beliefs and philosophy of life, your history together, your identities, your interests and dreams for the future, your families and friends.
It is your ceremony – Sonia's only agenda is to make it extraordinarily perfect for you!
Sonia will design it to happen in a garden or a park, at the beach or your favourite nature spot, in an elegant inn or winery, in your living room or back yard, on a boat … as you wish. Clothing is required but shoes are optional!
Sonia is happy to hike or kayak or boat or fly to get to your perfect spot for the ceremony!

Weddings
A wedding can be as unique as the couple getting married. Traditional weddings follow a format that has been used consistently within that religious institution or cultural group. Nowadays, many couples seek particularly meaningful words and symbols to communicate the distinct nature of their relationship and commitment.
Just as every individual is unique, every couple is one-of-a-kind. Because no two couples are the same, a wedding ceremony that truly celebrates a couple for who they are cannot be reused. Sonia Beverley will create such a ceremony just for you and perform a legal marriage, whether you choose to elope or have a party.

Commitment Ceremonies
You may be choosing to make a commitment without being legally married. Such a bond is sacred, courageous and a powerful testimony to your love. Your story is unique and will be reflected in a custom-designed ceremony entirely dedicated to celebrating you as life partners.
It is Sonia's privilege to join any couple in sealing their love through a commitment ceremony. She brings focused attention, creativity, energy and enthusiasm to these ceremonial celebrations.
Renewal of Vows
Renewal of vows represents a special acknowledgment of relationship and commitment by a couple. It is a commemoration of two people whose shared journey is well underway. Time together, accomplishments in the face of challenge, aspirations for sharing more life adventures, re-energized commitment, deepening love – these are but a few of the ingredients that inspire beautiful renewal ceremonies. It is Sonia's pleasure to help pay tribute to a maturing relationship.
“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”
