Independent Wedding Celebrant
Jane Roques-Shaw
Creating the emotional heart of unforgettable weddings

Welcome
The emotional heart of every unforgettable wedding begins with the ceremony.
Before the champagne is poured, the speeches begin, and the dance floor fills, there is one moment that shapes everything that follows. The moment your favourite people come together, your story is shared, and the emotional tone for your entire wedding day is set.
I'm Jane Roques-Shaw, an independent wedding celebrant working across the UK and Europe. Inspired by tradition but never constrained by it, I write and deliver bespoke modern ceremonies that are deeply personal, effortlessly stylish and filled with warmth, humour and heart - creating moments your guests will be talking about long after the day itself.
What I Offer
A deeply personal approach to every couple
SOMERSET, WILTSHIRE, LONDON, BEYOND
UK Ceremonies
From exclusive country estates to beautifully curated boutique hotels, I create wedding and vow renewal ceremonies that are as thoughtful, timeless and unforgettable as the setting itself. Every word is written exclusively for you, and only you.
France, Italy, Spain & beyond
European Ceremonies
From the golden vineyards of Tuscany and the glamour of the French Riviera to the dramatic coastline of Mallorca and the white-sand beaches of Ibiza, extraordinary places deserve an equally extraordinary ceremony. Wherever your story takes you, I'll create a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful and entirely your own.
BATH & THE COTSWOLDS
Planning from afar
Planning your wedding from another country can feel wonderfully exciting... and sometimes overwhelming. Whether you're dreaming of exchanging vows on Bath's elegant Georgian streets or surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Cotswolds, I'm here to be your trusted local partner. Alongside creating a deeply personal ceremony, I can help make planning from afar feel far simpler by offering local insight, trusted supplier recommendations and practical support, so you can arrive feeling excited rather than stressed.
