Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Renewal of Vows
Getting married or forming a civil partnership is one of the most important days of your life – and possibly the most nerve-wracking!
Funerals, Memorials
Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things a person will go through in their lives. Let me help to create a tailored memorial.
Naming Ceremonies
Naming ceremonies are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to a religious christening, for babies and adults alike.
“Thank you for everything you did for us. Your warm and calming personality shone through and your beautiful words were just perfect! You helped us to get through such a difficult afternoon.”
“Where do I begin to thank you for everything you did, to make mum's loss easier for us to deal with, you sat through tears and laughter with my family, but when you spoke at mum's funeral, it was as if you had known her.”
"The service was beautiful, the way you conducted it came over so lovely and clear, and everyone had nothing but praise for you that day. God bless you."
“We couldn’t have had anyone more perfect to conduct the service than you. Thank you, you made it so special. You’re wonderful and have a really inspirational way about you.”
“Thank you so much. The ceremony was perfect. You’re such a special person.”
“I just want to say a massive thank you for yesterday. You went above and beyond to make it that little bit easier for me and for that I will be eternally grateful. x”
“Thank you for giving Dad a fabulous service, and really looking after us. Family and friends said they really connected with you and one of Dad’s good friends said you were so lovely she just wanted to take you home!”

“We came so close to choosing the wrong service for our beloved J. Then like a gift from above you came into our lives. Thank you! As long as there are people like you in the world it makes life without J that much more bearable!”
"Antonia has such a warm personality that makes people feel good, relaxed and somehow less sad."
“It might sound strange but that was the best funeral I've ever been to. I’ll be keeping your name and requesting that you do mine!”

"He would have loved the ceremony. Every moment of it. He wouldn't have wanted to change a thing."

I love this. Experience - good AND bad - is the greatest teacher. Learn from it, then move on with grace. 💕

Originally known as the Celtic Samhain, All Hallows Eve celebrated the essential circle of human existence—of life and death. It began as a day to honour the dead, and to give thanks for the eternal cycle of nature.

I had to share this message almost in its entirety. 💜 “We all just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for Mum's service, we didn't realise a funeral could be that beautiful. Everybody has said it was so lovely and exactly what Mum would have wanted. Thank you also for all your ...help before and on the day, you made a very difficult time just that bit easier. You are amazing at what you do, with your kind and caring nature, being a celebrant is the perfect job for you.”
