🌿 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.
