Costs

Because my wedding ring workshops are a private day just for the two of you, they are priced per couple. You'll have my undivided attention for the whole day. Workshop timings are flexible but a typical day runs from 10am – 3pm with a break for lunch.

Weekday (Monday to Friday) workshops
£285 per coupleplus materials
Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday workshops
£335 per coupleplus materials 

The materials cost for the silver and/or gold to make your wedding rings will vary depending on your ideas. Advice on metals will be given at your consultation and quotes provided to help you to make your choices. You can make your rings in silver and/or gold (including white gold, yellow gold and rose gold). Silver rings start from £15 per ring, and gold starts from £80.

For an additional £75, you can also make your wedding rings from sentimental gold, for example by melting down a ring which has been passed down through your family. Find out more about using sentimental gold.

Hallmarking is optional and starts from £50. You'll also need a little time in hand, as it's not an instant process; your rings will need to be sent to the assay office.

"Thank you Louise, we had an amazing day crafting away in your studio. It was lots of fun learning new techniques to create our unique homemade wedding rings. Really looking forward to wearing them on our DIY woodland wedding day and for many years to come. Thanks for suggesting different options for textures and designs, as I’ve ended up with a better design than I initially had in mind. We’ve had a great day. Thanks again."
