"Anyone that gets you as a celebrant is blessed, because you go that extra mile. I will never forget you and the part you played."

What is a celebrant?

Picture
Ceremonies that focus on people

A celebrant will put you, and your loved ones at the heart of the ceremony.

I am proud to perform naming ceremonies, weddings and funerals that are individual and help create memories that last a lifetime


Weddings: if you want a wedding that is unique, with no script and in a location of your choice then get in touch. You may want to read your own vows on the beach, at your local football stadium or even in your back garden.
The event is about the couple, whether they are getting married, renewing their vows or have chosen a commitment ceremony.
You can find out more about wedding ceremonies here.

Naming and adoption ceremonies: welcoming someone new into your family is a happy time, and one that you want to celebrate. It's one of life's key milestones and a ceremony gives you and your family the opportunity to mark the occasion. They can take place anywhere, at home, in the park, at a village hall or any other location that is special to you.
Naming ceremonies or adoption ceremonies can include music, singing, parental promises to the child and a symbolic action such as planting a tree or a balloon release. Get in touch and we can talk through your options.

Funerals: As your celebrant, I will create a ceremony that is personal and memorable. It will be centered around the life of your loved one. The funeral will focus on their story - from memorable moments and special times, to what made them the person they were. I will ask you to share memories that illustrate the different aspects of their life - their interests and the events that shaped them. I can make suggestions of readings, music and poems, but the choice always remains with you. Send me an email or give me a call to find out more information. More details about funerals can be found here.

Testimonials:

"We thank you again for the most wonderful, beautiful ceremony. For me I thank you for the script - I shall be forwarding it on the next couple of days to Ireland family. Everyone who attended now wants a copy - it was really beautiful. I will never forget that as long as I live. Thank you so much."

"Your officiating of the service was of the highest order and I would like to thank you for your professional approach from our first meeting to the end of the service. It convinced me to have the strength to stand up and speak, knowing you would carry on if I faltered."
