About me

I am a trained celebrant and a proud member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants.

I have worked in Human Resources for over 30 years so people are my passion!

I love working with others supporting them on their journeys, so becoming a celebrant was a natural evolution of continuing my connection in a heart warming and meaningful manner.

It is both a joy and a privilege to be part of life's special moments, helping to create ceremonies that celebrate vibrant stories and unique milestones.

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world "  Dr Seuss

I will work with you to create a wedding ceremony that shares your love story with your friends and family. 

The wedding ceremony will be a reflection of you as a couple, your passions, your joys and your unique romantic journey.

Together, we'll craft a wedding ceremony that feels deeply personal, authentic, and as remarkable as the bond you share. 

Whether you're overflowing with ideas or need a bit of guidance,  I take the time to understand your love story and turn your vision into a bespoke, unforgettable ceremony that brings your happily-ever-after to life. 

 "The ones that love us never leave us"  J.K. Rowling 

------------------------------------------------

Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, and those left behind often face important decisions just when they need the most support. Navigating arrangements while coping with grief can feel overwhelming.

I am here to guide and support you, listening with care and warmth to create a service that shaped your loved one’s life and character.

A deep and meaningful service is the final gift of love. It offers a cherished opportunity to celebrate their life,  express our feelings of loss, love, and gratitude.

Together, we will craft a tribute that celebrates your precious one's journey offering comfort and perhaps some smiles through the tears.

 "We need never be afraid of our tears" Charles Dickens

 Funeral services have changed over time, and you may opt for a direct cremation. 

However, you can still hold a memorial service, allowing you the freedom to personalise both the content and location to reflect your loved one’s personality and passions. 

Whether you choose to have the service at home, on a beach, in a pub, or even on a golf course, you can create a meaningful tribute in a setting that feels right. 

This gives you the opportunity to celebrate their life and say your final goodbyes in your own way. 

 "My heart is, and always will be yours" Jane Austen

------------------------------------------------

 Renewing your vows is a heartfelt way to celebrate your love, reflect on your journey, and share your hopes for the future. 

I will work closely with you to craft a ceremony that tells your unique story, celebrating the journey you’ve shared and the love that continues to grow.

There are no limitations on how you can celebrate this milestone. 

Unlike your original wedding, there are no legal formalities to consider, so the ceremony can take place anywhere that holds meaning or has special significance to you both.

 "Hugs can do great amounts of good, especially for children"  Diana, Princess of Wales 

------------------------------------------------

A naming or welcome ceremony is a beautiful way to celebrate the arrival of a new baby, the joy of adoption, or an older child’s special place within the family. 

It’s an opportunity to recognise and honour future guardians, guide parents or Godparents who will play a meaningful role in your child's life.

This celebration can be about gathering loved ones to proudly announce your child’s name, embracing who they are, and cherishing their unique personality.

Together, we can create a ceremony that reflects your hopes, dreams, and the love that surrounds your child on their journey through life.

Let's create a heartfelt, personalised ceremony that suits your wishes and budget.

Call or email me, and let's chat about making your ceremony truly special.
