Your ceremony, beautifully done.
Warm, heartfelt and legally registered wedding ceremonies — tailor-made for you, from the misty forests of Magoebaskloof to wherever your heart says “I do”.
The most important part of your day — made the easiest.
I am Dr Ian Loughor-Clarke, a Pastor of a congregation in Haenertsburg, and I have had the joy of marrying couples for more than twenty years.
The ceremony is one of the most important parts of your wedding, but I will make it one of the easiest for you. Every ceremony is personal and tailored to your wishes — its length, setting and theme — while respecting Christian principles.
When you work with me there will be no queues, no wasted time and nothing to frustrate you. We can meet in person, chat on the phone, by e-mail, WhatsApp or video call — whatever suits you best.
A ceremony as unique as your story
Tailor-made
Your theme, your music, your words. Light humour or quiet reverence — every detail is shaped around you.
Fully legal
Registered marriage officer. Your register is signed on the day and your marriage is placed on the Home Affairs system.
Certificates sorted
A hand-written marriage certificate on the day, and your unabridged certificate sent to your nearest PostNet.
English & Afrikaans
Ceremonies in English, Afrikaans or a mixture of both, so every guest feels included.
I come to you
Based in Haenertsburg and happy to travel — gardens, forests, farms, lodges, beaches or your own backyard.
Foreign nationals
Home Affairs no longer allows me to legally register marriages involving a foreign national. I can still conduct your ceremony and guide you on what Home Affairs requires.
“Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”1 Corinthians 13 : 4–7
Real couples. Real joy.
Rain or shine, forest or bushveld — a few treasured moments from ceremonies I’ve had the privilege of conducting.
Simple, from “yes” to “I do”
