When I get to know you and hear your love story, it inspires me. The next step is for me to create a ceremony that perfectly captures the essence of your relationship. You are unique and therefore every ceremony I perform is unique and carefully written just for you.

I collaborate with people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders to create ceremonies that truly reflect you and your beliefs—ensuring we have fun along the way and on the big day.
As a professional celebrant, I provide support every step of the journey. Highly organised and detail-oriented, I meticulously plan every aspect to make your ceremony seamless and memorable.
Originally from the UK, I’ve based myself between the UK and Cyprus for over 13 years and regularly perform ceremonies and serve as Master of Ceremonies in both countries. Familiar with Cyprus inside and out, I’ve built strong connections with local vendors and venues.

This is the fun part of your ceremony where we get to make your day even more memorable. “Special Elements” offer couples from different cultural backgrounds the opportunity to have an element of their heritage included in their ceremony.
Take a look at the “Special Elements” section.
I am happy to explain them in more detail and how they will fit into your ceremony.
Cyprus is an all year round destination so you can have your wedding any time.
With a Cyprus Celebrant led ceremony we can hold your ceremony almost anywhere. Hotels, Restaurants, Beaches, Vineyard, Marina, Golf Course, Private Villa, Ancient Abbey, Your Home.
All you have to do is picture your perfect day and I will do my best to make it happen.
That all depends on you. Some couples decide years ahead on their wedding date and venue, and others just a few weeks ahead. If you need help, I have wedding planners on hand who can help organise everything for you.
I’m regularly contacted by couples who want to elope, or for many reasons want to have a ceremony quickly. I always do my best to accommodate and help you to make your day amazing.
In Cyprus
Yes. I include all travel within 40 miles, including the rehearsal, from my location in Kyrenia. I am happy to travel throughout Cyprus.
Internationally
For international weddings, all costs will be agreed prior to booking your ceremony with me. Please contact me Cyprus Celebrant at rosie@celebrantrosieanstey.com
I have never let anyone down. Your ceremony will be complete and written by me. In the event of sickness I would call on one of my colleagues to seamlessly step in and read and perform what you and I have created together.
You pay after we meet and you decide to book me, whether that is in person, or on Zoom or WhatsApp. I send you an email with all the details.
Booking Fee to save the date.
You pay a 50% booking retainer, which secures the date for your ceremony. That way you have the security of knowing I have saved that date for you and I will be there !
Balance
The remaining 50% is paid when you have the draft of your ceremony script and it’s almost complete. Then I start building your story, editing along with you, and reaching out to your friends and family.
Absolutely. Let’s speak so I can understand you, and your vision for your day. I’ll give you suggestions of locations that best suit you and your budget.
I have an address book of contacts from trusted photographers, wedding planners, restaurants, hotels, and vendors who will help you in helping to make your dream a reality.
Please contact me, and let’s see how I can help you plan your perfect day.
I perform Weddings, Vow Renewals, Family Ceremonies, and Farewell and Funerals in the UK. I am delighted to say I was awarded the Global Award for 2024 as a Wedding Celebrant from the International Wedding Awards. I am available to host your event as your Master of Ceremonies. Also, a professionally trained Toastmaster and Member of the Guild of International Professional Toastmasters, I am here to make sure your whole event runs seamlessly.
