Have a chimney sweep attend your wedding and bring good luck to the marriage!
For over 200 years it has been regarded as a good omen for their future if a bride and groom meet a chimney sweep at their wedding, and while traditions vary from country to country, one thing remains constant: In many parts of the Old World a chimney sweep is considered good luck.
Perhaps that is because throughout the ages, the basic comfort of a fireplace has been the heart of the home. As the keeper of the hearth, the chimney sweep has provided security and reassurance, thus becoming symbolic of the family's safety, wellbeing, and happiness.
The tradition of good luck was furthered by Disney's "Mary Poppins". We all remember Bert singing:
Chim chiminey,
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky
as lucky can be.
Make your wedding day complete by inviting an authentic working chimney sweep from Ables Top Hat Chimney Sweeps to attend your happy event.
When you invite us to your wedding, you get a genuine professional chimney sweep dressed in a truly Victorian costume, complete with top hat and brushes commonly used on European chimneys. This is not a Hollywood costume but actually what we wear when we clean chimneys. We will enhance your wedding with a traditional good luck kiss for the bride, and the bride and groom will be presented with a personalized "Certificate of Sweep's Luck" detailing an old custom. Then, everyone present will receive a small token chimney sweep to help them remember your special day. For a special treat we can arrange for some of our delightfully cute grandchildren dressed in tuxedo shirts with top hats hand out favors to each of your wedding guests.
It will be a great source of conversation and memories for years to come, amazement for your wedding guests, and wonderful photographic opportunities for all. Our chimney sweep always keeps in mind that your day is as much a joyous occasion as it is a solemn affirmation of your commitment to each other, but who says you can't laugh along the way?
Now, wouldn't you like the luck of the chimney sweep at your wedding? Tell us of your wedding plans and we can give you a quick cost estimate. There is no limit to how far we can go to be at your wedding.
For more information contact us and we will respond with availability and rates to bring good luck to your special day.
