The tradition of Chimney Sweeps being the bearer of good luck started just over 200 years ago after a London Chimney Sweeper saved the life of King George III. The sweep had been the only person with enough courage to stop the King's out of control horses and carriage and save the kings life.
The King proclaimed that all sweeps were good luck and should be treated with respect. The folk law was established and to this day Chimney Sweepers are still invited to attend weddings and kiss the bride for good luck.
Plan B anyone?
What We Do
Chimney Sweep Weddings strive to keep alive the age old tradition of lucky victorian chimney sweeps by attending wedding ceremonies within the North East of England with the aim of bringing the bride and groom luck and good fortune on their special day.
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
