Paul Cunliffe, Wedding Celebrant in Phuket
He works as a specialist for the ceremony itself rather than as a wedding planner. Every ceremony is written from scratch around the couple, and he sends three full example ceremonies to read first. Couples can take lines from them, choose one outright or start from a blank page, then refine a personal draft together until both partners are happy with it.
Most of his work is on Phuket's west coast, at Hua Beach, Layan, Surin, Kamala, Kata and Bang Tao, in private villas around Cape Yamu, and at resorts such as Thavorn Beach Village and The Surin Resort.
