Welcome to Rapport Celebrancy
Hi! I'm Ian, and I believe your ceremony should be as wonderfully unique as your love story. Based in Blackpool and covering the north of England and beyond, I create heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate exactly who you are – whether that's gothic romance, steampunk spectacular, literary love affair, or a delightfully quirky celebration.
My passion lies in storytelling and performance, weaving your individual narratives into ceremonies that feel like they're being led by a friend rather than someone you've just met. After all, that's what "Rapport" is all about – building a genuine connection that makes your special day truly memorable.
With a background spanning theatre, academia, and community arts, I bring creativity, warmth, and just the right touch of theatrical flair to every ceremony. I'm particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community and anyone who wants their ceremony to break the mould and celebrate their authentic selves.
