💫 December 2025 Ceremonies – Rare Winter Openings
It’s not often I open my diary for December weddings. Usually, it’s the month I take a breath after a full year of wonderful celebrations and spend some time with family.
But sometimes, life changes direction — and this year, that change has created a rare and lovely opportunity for a few couples looking to celebrate their love at the end of 2025.
Due to a shift in my family plans, I now have a handful of December 2025 weekends available for weddings and vow renewals across Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, and the wider North West.
These aren’t cancellations or reduced-service slots — they’re genuine openings in my calendar, offered with exactly the same care, attention, and full bespoke service that every David Allbutt ceremony receives.
🌿 A Little Change, A Big Opportunity
After many years of working in the wedding world, I’ve learned that even small changes can lead to something meaningful.
I had planned to take December off completely — to rest, reconnect, and recharge — but when my schedule unexpectedly shifted, I realised it could create space for something new: a few carefully chosen winter ceremonies.
December has a unique atmosphere. It’s calm, reflective, and quietly beautiful. For some couples, it’s the perfect time to slow down, gather loved ones close, and celebrate love in the midst of the festive season.
If that sounds like your kind of moment, I’d be honoured to help make it happen.
💍 What’s Now Available
I currently have these December 2025 weekends open for bookings:
📅 6–7 December
📅 13–14 December
📅 20–21 December
📅 27–28 December
Each date is available at a special late-availability rate:
💍 Weddings – £425
💞 Vow Renewals – £390
This includes my full celebrant service:
A personal consultation (in person or video)
A completely bespoke ceremony script written just for you
Professional delivery on the day
A keepsake copy of your ceremony and certificate
Short notice doesn’t mean less care — it simply means a little extra magic in how everything comes together.
❄️ The Warmth of a Winter Ceremony
Winter weddings have a way of feeling both peaceful and deeply emotional.
The light is softer, the atmosphere more intimate, and every detail — from the music to the candlelight — seems to carry extra meaning.
I love how the focus naturally shifts to the people, the vows, and the words. A December wedding doesn’t need grand decoration or endless details — it’s about creating a space that feels genuine and grounded in love.
For vow renewals, winter is just as powerful. It’s a natural time to pause, reflect on the year that’s passed, and look ahead together. There’s something profoundly beautiful about recommitting to your story as one year ends and another begins.
💞 What Late Availability Really Means
It’s important to me that couples understand what “late availability” means in my world.
It’s not a reduced or simplified service — it’s simply a genuine gap in my schedule that’s opened unexpectedly.
Every couple who books a December ceremony receives my full attention, creative focus, and professional support. We still begin with a relaxed consultation, we still craft your ceremony together, and we still refine every line until it feels right.
I take on a limited number of ceremonies each year so that I can give each one my best — and these December openings are no exception.
🕯️ The Process
If you decide to book one of these December weekends, we’ll begin with a chat — informal, friendly, and all about your ideas.
We’ll talk about what you want your ceremony to feel like, what moments matter most, and how we can weave your story naturally into the day.
From there, I’ll write your ceremony from scratch, guiding you through:
Structure and flow
Personal vows and readings
Optional symbolic elements like handfasting or unity rituals
When the day arrives, I’ll be there early to make sure everything runs smoothly, calm any nerves, and deliver your ceremony with warmth and clarity.
You’ll also receive a printed keepsake copy of your ceremony and a certificate — small touches that many couples treasure.
🎄 Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Plan
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start planning your ceremony, this might be it.
Many couples assume that by autumn 2025, all professional celebrants will be fully booked — and that’s usually true. But this year, a few rare dates are open, and they could be yours.
Whether you’re planning something small and intimate or a full celebration surrounded by loved ones, December brings a sense of calm, joy, and gratitude that no other month quite matches.
🕊️ Final Thoughts
Life has a way of creating unexpected moments — and sometimes, those moments turn into something truly special.
If you’re still searching for a celebrant who can make your December 2025 wedding or vow renewal personal, relaxed, and full of heart, I’d love to help you create a ceremony that feels like home.
✉️ Let’s Talk
If one of these weekends feels right for you, I’d love to hear your story. There’s no pressure, no hard sell — just an open, honest conversation about what you’d love your day to be.
