Wedding Celebrant in Exeter & Devon

Weddings with personality

I’m Julie Fox, an independent wedding celebrant based in Exeter, Devon, and I create ceremonies that are memorable, full of personality and – most importantly – completely about you.

I work with couples across Devon and beyond, creating everything from intimate ceremonies to big celebrations with all your favourite people.

And no two are ever the same. Because your wedding isn’t like anyone else’s.

Every couple has a story

Maybe yours started in the most romantic way imaginable. Maybe it involved a disastrous first date, a match-making friend, or years of wondering when the other person was finally going to get the hint.

Whatever your story, it’s uniquely yours.

And I want your guests to smile as they hear it.

If you’re an atheist but still have a soft spot for that hymn you sang in school assembly, we can include it. If you’re spiritual, we can include rituals that touch your soul. And if the only idol you worship is Madonna, we’ll probably find a way to squeeze her in somewhere too.

I’ve worked with couples who’ve included handfasting, jumping the broom, unity candles, sand ceremonies, celebrity guests, family traditions and animal ring bearers!

Whatever you choose, I’ll make sure it feels like your wedding ceremony – not somebody else’s idea of one.

Your story. Your people. Your way.

Weddings, vow renewals and more

Weddings

Your wedding ceremony should be one of the highlights of your day, not something to get through before the celebrations begin.

I’ll create a ceremony that’s personal to you, whether you’re planning a relaxed Devon wedding, an intimate celebration or a huge party.

Vow Renewals

Still choosing each other?

Whether you’re celebrating five years, twenty-five years or fifty, a vow renewal is a chance to tell the story of the life you’ve built together – and perhaps have another fabulous party while you’re at it.

Elopements & Small Weddings

Big love doesn’t require a big guest list.

If you’re dreaming of something intimate, relaxed and focused on the two of you, a celebrant ceremony gives you the freedom to make it exactly that.

Outdoor & Beach Ceremonies

Imagine exchanging your vows surrounded by countryside, in a beautiful garden or with the sea as your backdrop.

I’ll help you create a ceremony that works with your chosen setting.

LGBTQ+ & Same-Sex Weddings

Your relationship doesn’t need to fit a template, and neither does your wedding ceremony.

I’ll create something that reflects who you are and what your relationship means to you.

I’ve conducted some pretty memorable ceremonies

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of some wonderfully varied celebrations.

I’ve conducted a wedding with an Elvis impersonator. Joined in with a flash mob rendition of You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.

And most recently? A cowboy-themed wedding on an alpaca farm for Kelli and Dan.

So if you’ve got an idea that feels a little bit unusual, don’t worry. I’m probably going to love it.

And if you’d rather have something beautifully traditional, that’s absolutely fine too.

I don’t have the words to express our thanks & gratitude for your service! You were amazing. All of our guests said it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. So personal, so warm and they felt involved on our journey. Thank you so so much. We absolutely made the right choice choosing you 🧡

Let’s have a chat about your wedding.

You don’t need to have everything worked out before you get in touch.

Why Aurora Ceremonies?

I started out as an entertainer, moved into the corporate world and eventually realised I wanted to use everything I’d learned about communication, storytelling and creating memorable experiences for something much more personal.

That’s how I became a celebrant and I’ve been doing this since 2017 – I’ve got the experience to deal with anything that comes my way…

I’m also proud to have been named Wedding Celebrant of the Year – Devon at the LuxLife Global Wedding Awards in 2023, 2024 and 2026.

I know that the most important part of this job is listening. Because this isn’t my wedding. It’s yours.

What couples say

I could tell you how awesome my ceremonies are.

But it’s probably much more useful to hear it from the people who have actually hired me.

Professional, thoughtful and caring

“I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is professional, thoughtful and caring in her approach and put us both at ease!”

Lucy and Beau · Family venue, Stoodleigh

The best find ever!

“We cannot thank Julie enough for her support and help in pulling our very special, intimate & private family celebration day together, utterly amazing, the best find ever! 5 stars 10/10...faultless!”

Geoff and Jean · Lady Margaret’s Medieval Hall, Honiton

Our favourite part of our whole day

“We have had endless compliments on how personal our ceremony was, with almost everyone reduced to tears at some point or another.”

Wedding venues across Devon

I’ve conducted ceremonies at a wide range of wedding venues across Devon, from beautiful country houses and barns to coastal and more unusual settings.

I’ve created individual pages for some of the venues I’ve worked at, so if you’re getting married somewhere I’ve already visited, you can find out a little more about my experience there.

Ready to talk about your wedding?

You don’t need to have everything worked out before you get in touch.

You might have your venue booked and a Pinterest board the size of a small country. Or you might simply know that you don’t want what everyone else has had.

Either way, let’s have a chat.

I’m based in Exeter and conduct wedding ceremonies throughout Devon and beyond, and I’m always happy to hear what you’ve got planned.

  1. Tell me a little about your plans using the contact form
  2. We have a relaxed chat by phone or video, with no hard sell
  3. If I’m the right celebrant for you, I’ll send a booking form

I reply within 24 hours
