Ordained Life Celebrant & Minister | Legally Recognised Christian Weddings Across the UK
Your wedding day should be unforgettable — filled with love, joy, and a ceremony that reflects your story and values. Whether you're planning a traditional Christian wedding, a spiritual blessing, or a unique handfasting, Reverend Ben Cooper offers personalised wedding ceremonies that honour who you are — as individuals and as a couple.
As a fully ordained minister with ELIM Church Incorporated, Ben is legally authorised to conduct Christian marriages in accordance with UK law — giving couples both the spiritual significance and legal recognition they deserve.
Ben believes your wedding should never feel like a “one size fits all” moment. Each ceremony is lovingly written from scratch, shaped by your journey, your beliefs, and your vision.
✅ Personal and heartfelt
✅ Relaxed and joy-filled
✅ Christian, interfaith, or inclusive
✅ Rooted in love, connection, and meaning
From the very first conversation to the moment you say “I do,” Ben brings warmth, creativity, and calm leadership to your big day.
Unlike many celebrants, Reverend Ben is a legally ordained minister through ELIM Church Incorporated, a recognised denomination in the UK. That means he has the authority under UK law to conduct Christian weddings that are legally binding — when working in partnership with the local registrar or in an ELIM-registered venue.

Designed around your love story, personality, and preferences — no scripts or templates, just meaningful moments.
