Martin offers a "lucky chimney sweep" service for weddings around the Witney, Oxford, Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage, Faringdon, Caterton, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bicester area with a handshake for the groom and a lucky kiss on the cheek or hand for the bride to help make your big day something special.
For the lucky chimney sweep service Martin dresses up in top hat and tails, carrying a set of traditional rods and brushes, and of course no traditional chimney sweep is complete without a sooty face!
Martin can arrive at any time to suit you at the wedding venue or reception to surprise your guests and will happily pose for photographs and videos and stay for as long as you require.
The lucky chimney sweep tradition
In 1730 King George II lost control of his carriage as his horses bolted during a royal procession and a chimney sweep from the crowd came to his rescue and stopped the horses and then disappeared back into the crowd. After the procession the king, being unable to thank the chimney sweep personally, made a Royal Decree that from that day forward all chimney sweeps are bearers of good luck and should be treated with respect.
Since that Decree was passed it has been considered to be good luck if a bride sees a chimney sweep on her wedding day and luckier still if the bride receives a kiss from the sweep and he also shakes the groom's hand.
