🌿 Weddings & Elopements by David Linaker

Ceremonies with Soul — Meaningful, Personal, and Joyfully You

💍 Not Just Any Ceremony — Your Ceremony

 

Whether you're marrying for the first time, blending families, or finding love later in life, you deserve a ceremony that reflects who you really are.

Not just a performance.
Not a script from a stranger.
But something meaningful — with gravitas, heart, and just the right amount of humour.

As an Independent Celebrant, I craft non-religious ceremonies that feel real, warm, and memorable. From elegant manor houses to windswept headlands, I help couples like you mark the moment with depth, lightness, and a lasting sense of “Yes — we are truly married.”

💫 Why Couples Choose Me

  • You want to feel genuinely married* — not just entertained.

  • You value tradition, but not empty formality.

  • You like your ceremony to feel grounded, warm, and just a little bit poetic.

  • You want your guests to say: “That was the best ceremony I’ve ever been to.”

 

Most of all, you want a ceremony that honours your story, reflects your values, and lingers in the memory for all the right reasons.

📍 Where I Work

I’m based near Salisbury in Wiltshire and regularly officiate across Wiltshire, Dorset, Hampshire, and beyond. I also travel nationally and internationally for the right couples and venues — so if you're drawn to working with me, let's talk.
