What is a Celebrant?
A celebrant is a professionally trained individual with the experience in place to create & deliver completely bespoke and personalised ceremonies.
With no restrictions in terms of the content, format, location, or style of a ceremony as you would find with a registrar or other religious ceremony and can so we can completely personalise your unique day.
Why Choose a Celebrant?
Celebrating life events should be a wonderful & joyful experience but organising them can often be stressful. More and more people like the freedom to plan an event that reflects them, their style and their budget which has seen a huge increase in celebrant-led ceremonies over recent years.
From beautiful outdoor settings or unlicensed venues, to incorporating cultural, religious or family traditions, my clients really can have the celebration they’ve been dreaming of!
Your ceremony should be the heart of the day and the start of the celebrations; your ceremony will set the tone for the rest of the day so it’s important to get it right! Less formal doesn’t mean less special or personal, that’s where I can help my clients to ensure they are happy.
My Process
Consultation
I sit with you to find out about you and you ask me questions about my approach, and I find out all of your requirements. Then if we are both happy and feel I would be a good fit, we move onto the planning stage.
Planning
I begin crafting content for your big day, as well as any other elements that we have discussed for me to arrange, remember I am flexible and highly skilled at organising your event so your day is in safe hands.
The Big Day
On the day of the event, I will ensure you and your guests are comfortable, well informed and relaxed. I can work with the venue etc. to ensure a seamless, memorable occasion.
