Introducing..

My philosophy when it comes to funeral planning is that you can do whatever you want to help celebrate the life of a loved one. My role is simply to make it happen.

“You struck the right balance of being respectful, but also with a bit of light hearted humour added.”

About Me

I have worked in the justice and advice sectors and been involved in supporting families through difficult, sudden, and traumatic life experiences for over 30 years. This has allowed me to develop the listening and supportive skills needed to help the bereaved, and in turn it has given me a greater understanding of their needs. Like many, I have too often been to funerals where the officiant has barely taken any time to celebrate the life of the person who has died and what they meant to the people at the funeral, but instead focused on their death.

I believe that the best way we can mark the passing of a loved one is to cherish and celebrate all the positive things they contributed to our lives, and how they will live on in our memories, and not to dwell on their loss.

Need more info? Check out our most frequently asked questions.

Can we meet our celebrant?

Absolutely! We encourage an initial consultation, either in person or virtually, to get to know each other, discuss your vision, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Once you’ve enquired online our celebrants will reach out to discuss your needs & arrange a call.

Are celebrant-led weddings legally binding in the UK?

In Scotland, Yes. In the rest of the UK, no, although it is all going through the courts at the moment, so this is likely to change in the near future. For now, -led wedding ceremonies aren’t legally binding in England, Wales & Northern Ireland, therefore most couples who opt for a celebrant tend to go to their local registry office a couple of days before their wedding, to do the legal paperwork, and then they’re free to have their celebrant wedding celebration wherever they want.

What is the typical process leading up to the ceremony?

After booking, your celebrant will be in touch to arrange an initial consultation to discuss your ceremony. Following this, you’ll have other meetings to discuss draft scripts, and finalise the ceremony outline. They’ll also coordinate logistics, ensuring everything runs smoothly on the big day.

Will my celebrant be willing to travel for my ceremony?

Yes, our celebrants are available for ceremonies in various locations, travel arrangements can be discussed during the initial consultation, and additional fees may apply for destinations outside of their standard service area.

How long does a typical ceremony last?

Ceremonies vary in length depending on your preferences. On average, ceremonies range from 20 to 40 minutes, but all of our celebrants are flexible and can adjust based on your desired duration. Please note if you require a ceremony over 40 minutes there may be an additional cost.

What happens in case of unforeseen circumstances or emergencies?

We understand that unexpected situations can arise and we will do our utmost to ensure a smooth and successful ceremony for you, we do our best to be as flexible as possible when it comes to postponing dates to do our best to ensure you don’t incur additional charges, however, to respect our celebrant’s time all deposits are non-refundable.

Can we include religious or cultural elements in our ceremony?

Absolutely. All of our celebrants respect and embrace diverse cultural and religious traditions. Your chosen celebrant will work with you to seamlessly integrate any elements that hold significance for you and your partner.
