Civil Ceremonies

Imagine a ceremony that marks a major life event in a way that is personal, sincere, and honest.

What is a celebrant?

A celebrant provides an alternative to religious ceremonies for people wishing to celebrate or commemorate key life events — such as weddings, namings and funerals in a non-religious way.

What does a celebrant do?

A celebrant gets to know the life story of the person or the love story of the couple. They write and conduct unique, meaningful, non-religious ceremonies for the most important times in our lives:

  •  Welcoming a child into a family 

  • Celebrating a wedding or vow renewal

  • Planning a  funeral or memorial ceremony.

Perhaps welcoming a much-loved baby to the world with a bespoke naming ceremony. Or celebrating a couple’s marriage in a way that is warm and genuine, that’s about the two of them and their relationship, and is full of laughter – and perhaps a few tears too. Or a funeral or memorial ceremony that focuses on the person who had died and the life they led – not on the idea of an afterlife – and provides a dignified and sincere way of saying goodbye.

As a celebrant I create, write and conduct a range of ceremonies to mark the big moments in life, mostly (but not exclusively) naming ceremonies, weddings and funerals.

Providing high-quality, personal, non-religious ceremonies is something I take very seriously. I trained as a celebrant with ICPC (International College of Professional Celebrants UK)

I am passionate about my work and provide people with an appropriate way to mark the most important moments in their lives.

My Services

  • FUNERALS

    It is important to find a glimmer of light in the darkness by celebrating the life of the individual, while sharing a message of hope and joy for those who are dealing with their loss.

  • WEDDINGS and VOW RENEWALS

    With Civil Ceremonies, it’s your wedding, your way. From intimate garden gatherings to wonderful woodland weddings or beautiful beach ceremonies.

  • NAMING CEREMONIES

    A naming ceremony is a way of celebrating and welcoming a new addition to your family. It focuses on the child – or children – being named and the friends and family that surround them.
