WHY CAN’T YOUR WEDDING BE DIFFERENT?
Celebrant ceremonies are especially personalised to you. I think outside of the box to make your wedding ceremony stand out above the rest, LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER

I am a relaxed, genuine person with imagination, who wants to make the world smile. I adore outside, rustic ceremonies, forest settings and barn locations, so if this is your dream wedding, then I’m the celebrant for you! You will find me to be a calm, reassuring, versatile people’s person, with a passion for creativity who makes dreams a reality. My goal is to make your day the most memorable time ever and I have the ability and creativity to transform your journey through life and love into words, incorporating any specific requests or wishes into any ceremony. You will see that my versatility and passion for happiness is the driving force of my credibility. Let’s do this together! I was trained by the Academy of Modern Celebrancy, which I remain a member of, and I am a qualified family liaison officer. Whatever ceremony I am crafting, I will take time to get to know my couples and families personally in order to discover their stories, forming the words, which enables me to create something special and is unique to them - forging friendships! My experience in the public sector for over 28 years has provided me with the skills to interact with people from all walks of life in a professional and caring manner. Also, being an award-winning Professional Toastmaster & Master of Ceremonies, I am no stranger to coordinating large events. I was trained by the Guild of International Professional Toastmasters to be able to officiate any event from a Royal Occasion to a cocktail party. I love having fun and really enjoy making people laugh, I think we need more laughter in the world. I have a passion for music, movies (especially Sci-Fi), helping others in general and through charity work. Although I am based in Hertfordshire, I’m willing to travel to wherever you need me. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website, I truly believe that I can create something very special for you. I do not compromise my work, whether it’s creating your wedding, vow renewal, commitment ceremony, naming your child or saying goodbye to a loved one, my job is making memories that last a lifetime. Please be safe, and I really look forward to hearing from you. A celebrant can design a unique personal ceremony just for you

You can choose a celebrant who is suitable for you, forging a relationship prior to your ceremony

You can write your own wedding vows or have your celebrant write them for you

Add beautiful symbolic rituals to enhance your day

Themed wedding? No problem!

Themed weddings? Yes, absolutely! What would you like to do?

It is your day so don’t compromise, you can have whichever theme you’d like. Why not incorporate a symbolic ritual like jumping the besom and the broomstick could be a Nimbus 2000, if Harry Potter is your passion? I will craft the script with you capturing the all the important details, suggesting scenes, placing in those all important quotes and music ideas… it’s a big galaxy so why not embrace it! Let’s do this together! Where there is love there is life
