I thought long and hard about having a dedicated page representing my ceremonies on offer for our LGBTQIA+ community.

After lots of research, I found many celebrants, both nationally and internationally either didn't acknowledge us, or added a small add-on under the heading 'other services' ... and I believe we deserve more than that ... so much more!

And so, in addition to integrating and including LGBTQIA+ ceremonies as a specialist throughout the website, you (we) have our own special page dedicated to our community ... demonstrating love and how love has no boundaries.

So whatever your reason for landing here - welcome! I'm guessing love has brought you here in whatever capacity and I look forward to chatting and meeting with you to create a magical ceremony you'll remember for years to come.

Weddings

Congratulations!

 I’m so thrilled for you!

As your Wedding Celebrant, I can’t wait to write and share your beautiful love story with all your family and friends. It will be my absolute joy to create a ceremony that truly reflects the magic of your relationship. Every relationship is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too! We’ll work hand in hand to craft a script that tells your story in the most meaningful way. I’m excited to learn about your favourite moments, funny quirks, shared interests, and dreams for the future. Let’s make your special day a wonderful celebration of your love together!

The wonderful thing about using a celebrant is that you can truly create a ceremony that feels like you! You have the freedom to mix and match elements of your individuality, culture, and beliefs through readings, music, and special symbols. Plus, involving friends and family can make the experience even more meaningful. I’m here to help you write your vows and, with my background in the arts and event planning, I can also assist with speech writing and coaching to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch! I focus on delivering warm and relaxed ceremonies, with scripts crafted perfectly to match your personality and vision.

Whether you’re dreaming of a themed wedding or have some unique ideas in mind, I can officiate your ceremony in a location that inspires you—be it a beautiful woodland, a stunning beach, a lovely garden, a school, a stately home, a private residence, a cosy restaurant, or a charming pub garden.

All you need is the landowner’s permission, and we’re good to go! You can count on my enthusiasm to help make your dreams come true! Whether you envision a traditional ceremony or something a bit more adventurous, I’ll work with you to create and deliver the perfect wedding ceremony that reflects who you are. Let's make choices that celebrate you and your love story!

Commitment without the legalities

If you do not feel the need to enter into a legal marriage but want to formalize your union, I can assist you in celebrating and acknowledging the commitment you have made to each other.

Vow Renewals

Longevity is worth celebrating!

Hey there! How exciting it is that you want to celebrate your marriage or the years you've spent together! Congratulations! Whether you've been together for 3 years or 300, or if you have something special to commemorate, I’d love to help you reconnect in a memorable way. Let’s create a fabulous, personalized vow renewal ceremony, filled with your own words to honor your love and the milestones you've reached. This is a chance to reflect on all the wonderful moments you’ve shared and dream about what lies ahead. In the busyness of everyday life, taking this time for yourselves is so worthwhile! It’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate your relationship, your journey, and all that you’ve accomplished together with your loved ones by your side. I’ve seen many couples find that this unique approach not only strengthens their bond but also makes the experience of renewing their vows even more special. Let’s make your celebration unforgettable!

Many clients are excited to finally celebrate their way, recreating an experience they may not have had on their original wedding day. I consider it a true privilege to work with you to make this special occasion a reality! 

This is a wonderful opportunity to put your love, commitment, and the unique bond you share into words—words that are all too often taken for granted. It's also a great moment to acknowledge your family and friends, who have been such an important part of your journey together. Feel free to add some personal touches, like a symbolic act that includes the words of your children or some heartfelt wisdom from your best friend.

Whatever your story or situation, our vow renewal or anniversary ceremony can be customized to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. I’m here to help you create a magical experience, and as a lovely keepsake, you’ll have the option to sign a commemorative certificate to remember the day, if you’d like!

Celebrate the real you! Is it time to say, ‘This is me’?

A transgender Transition (Naming or Renaming) Ceremony is a wonderful and significant way to celebrate a new name, new identity and mark your decision to transition, leaving behind what’s gone before and looking forward to a more authentic future. Everyone’s journey is different and, above all, your ceremony will be personalised to ensure it is a true celebration of you and a day to remember.

The specifics of a Transition Ceremony vary depending on individual preferences and backgrounds. Some people may choose to have a formal ceremony with family and friends, while others might prefer a more private affair.

The ceremony can take place anywhere you like. It will usually include an introduction to explain the significance of the event and acknowledge the individual’s journey of self-discovery. You may wish to share your personal thoughts and experiences. The highlight of the ceremony is the announcement/acknowledgement of your new name and, if wished, an explanation of its meaning and significance. Guests are encouraged to acknowledge the person’s new identity. This can be done through words of encouragement, applause, candles, gifts or other gestures of support.

After the ceremony, you may want to have additional celebrations, such as sharing a meal together or engaging in activities that reflect your interests or passions.

Every ceremony is unique and based on personal preferences, cultural backgrounds and beliefs. Please get in touch to discuss what you would like to make your day perfect.

It will truly be me absolute pleasure

Fee: from £450

Transgender Re-naming Ceremony

When it comes to celebrating an adoption, the best approach really depends on the age of your child. For little ones like infants or toddlers, organising a cosy and informal welcoming day with close family and friends can be a wonderful idea. You might want to think about a special Naming Day ceremony that could include a fun ritual, like a sand unity ceremony, or something unique to your family. The great thing about a Celebrant-led ceremony is that it’s all about you! Together, we can create a magical occasion that feels just right. 

If you're adopting an older child, we can also brainstorm lots of ways to help them feel comfortable and welcome. It’s all about making it a fun and meaningful experience for them. Let’s chat about different ideas and find what works best to create a wonderful celebration together!
