The Intimate Ceremony
Not every milestone wants a big room. Some of the most meaningful happen close to home — a handful of the people who matter most, in a place that already means something. The Intimate Ceremony brings the whole craft of a Scott + Story ceremony and holds it close: for an elopement or vow renewal, an at-home wedding, or the welcoming of a brand-new little person into the world.
It's just as at home marking a beginning as a union. A naming to welcome a new baby, an adoption or a blended family finding its shape, a new name chosen and celebrated — each one written from scratch and delivered by me, with your people gathered close. Fewer guests, no less meaning; often more.
How we work together:
- 01
HELLO
A relaxed first call to swap stories and check we're a match.
- 02
REFLECTION
The deep dive into your story, your people and what you want this moment to feel like.
- 03
THE WRITING
A fully bespoke ceremony, written from scratch for your family and your space.
- 04
CHECK-IN
A final check-in to walk through our plans so the day feels easy.
- 05
THE DAY
I arrive, hold the moment and deliver your ceremony at your place, with everyone close.
What's included
The reflective process
The same getting-to-know-you that sits at the heart of every Scott + Story ceremony.
Your whole circle, involved
Siblings, grandparents, guideparents, friends — woven in with roles, readings, wishes or rituals that actually mean something.
Delivered by me, in person
I'm there on the day, at your home or chosen spot, holding the moment.
Some important bits to note:
Kept beautifully simple
To keep it close and uncomplicated, the Intimate Ceremony leaves out the fuller wedding extras — vow-writing coaching and readings curation. If you're planning a full wedding, the Full Shebang is your one; if it's an intimate wedding, a renewal or a naming, this is it.

A naming has no legal side at all — no registrar, no paperwork, nothing to arrange. That's the joy of it: complete freedom over where, when and how you welcome your child. (For weddings, you'll still have the quick separate registry step — I'll guide you through it.)
One fee, held close
It covers the full craft of Scott + Story scaled to your moment — the reflection, the writing and the delivery on the day with none of the extras.
