When London was preparing to host the 2012 Olympic Games, 250,000 people signed up to volunteer as official “Games Makers”. Of these, 70,000 people were ultimately selected to wear the distinctive purple-and-red volunteer uniforms. I chose to be a Games Maker at the Paralympics working with the many amazing atheletes in the Olympic Village.
As your fully qualified and experienced celebrant, I will work closely with you both and will compose you a bespoke ceremony, written for you and with you. I am passionate about my work which comes through in all I do for your special day.You will be in safe hands with me.

I am excited to share your special day with you! On this website, you will find all the information you need about the ceremony I cannot wait to celebrate with you!
As the legal registering of your marriage is done separately, the pressure is off on The Day. There are no legal checks before the ceremony. It only costs £46 plus £11 for your marriage certificate to do this in a Registry Office so it won’t break the bank either. Your guests do not need to know if you do not want them to and there is also a certificate for you to sign if you would like one, to mirror the signing of the register.
Your ceremony can be held anywhere you want. Indoors or outside. In a magnificent stately house, your garden, a windmill, mountain, forest and even a beach. And the venue does not have to be local to your home. Anywhere at all. A registrar may refuse to conduct your ceremony outdoors due to our wonderful weather. My focus is that you have the day you want, exactly where you want, as long as you have the site holders permission.
A bespoke ceremony is especially written for you. Over time I will get to know you both and will use shared information in the ceremony.
Everything will be approved by you, so there are no nasty shocks on The Day.
There are 6 parts to the ceremony. Entrance with music. Reading or Poem. A small ceremony or ritual , if you like such as hand fasting. Then the HEART of the ceremony. The Vows and Promises. I can help you write those. Ring Exchange then, having signed your certificate, you both walk out, to music smiling broadly to raptuous applause.
A registrar will officiate many weddings in their day with a time limit on each one. As a celebrant I have no time restrictions, as your day is the only ceremony I have that day, and I will give you my full 100% attention the whole day. My focus is that you have a day to remember, and as your celebrant I will focus on the whole event.
From the moment we first meet YOU choose the venue, the music, the reading, the poem, any small ceremony or ritual, the people you want included in your ceremony. Recognizing dearly departed loved ones can also be included. You can have your dog as ring beaer if you wish!! The Choice is Yours.
Humanist
A Humanist ceremony is a non-religious celebration, concentrating on the couple in the here and now. You can include non-religious rituals such as a sand ceremony or something of specific cultural significance and can add poetry and prose and the singing of songs, but prayers or religious readings of any sort would not play a part in a Humanist celebration.
An Independent or Civil Celebrant is focussed on the couple and will work with them to tailor the celebration to be exactly what they wish it to be. They can include religious and spiritual content and work with religious leaders if wished. They can also add rituals and cultural references to truly personalise the celebration. I am an Independent Celebrant so the world is your oyster. Celebrate the way you want to. I am a Methodist so happy to include any religious aspect you may wish.
Not only will I as your Vow Renewal Celebrant conduct the Vow Renewal on the day but I will also work with you in the lead up to the Vow Renewal to make sure that you and your partner are both happy and comfortable with the planning of the event. As a Vow Renewal Celebrant I am professional, able to help you produce a bespoke, personal and structured vows or reading for the ceremony. People usually hire a Vow Renewal Celebrant to make the occasion more formal, as there is no legal binding when you are renewing your vows.
You are lucky to have the most amazing group of friends and family who will be standing by your side on your special day. All weddings are intimate, unique and fun, bespoke ceremonies. I enjoy working with every couple who wants to celebrate their wedding. Get the legalities sorted out before your fun celebration can happen. How about including Handfasting? Cocktail mixing? Ring Warming? Tree planting? Book Gifting?Candle Lighting? Brrom Jumping?Chocolate Sharing? Loving Cup? The list is endless.
Celebrate Your day Your way.
If you do not see the ceremony you would like, then let me know!
As your celebrant, I will talk with both of you several times. I will also send out a questionnaire that encourages detailed answers, which I will study carefully to create a beautifully crafted script for the big day. I may even talk to your family and friends to get some of the juicy information from them that you may have conveniently not mentioned. I will also arrive early at your venue, make sure t and meet with you and your partner individually to help calm any nerves you might have.
Vow renewal ceremonies are usually held to celebrate and reaffirm wedding vows. Typically, couples would exchange vows, and maybe even read their old vows again to the one they love. Some people choose to write new vows, or just add some things to their old vows which better reflect where they are in the present day.
You may wish to celebrate the milestones in your life. Adoption, Naming,Gender Reveal, Gender Change, Coming Out, Civil Partnerships, Commitment Celebrations, Celebration of Life, Living Funerals plus Alternative Funerals, Green Burials, Direct Cremation and Pure Cremation celebrations. Memorials and Memorial Bench unvailing. Many celebration choices on offer.
"Why wouldn't I marry the love of my life? Life is so short and if you are able to build that stability, a home, a family that is yours. When you have an opportunity to experience love, you should take it. I think you should do it if it is possible."
We have worked together over several fun meetings, sharing love and laughter along the way getting to know each other. Between us we have created a bespoke celebration for your special occasion. I have been part of your celebration .

Jane arrived at our house on time, looking very professioanl yet full of fun. Jane chatted with us explaining the wedding services she offers, listening to all our ideas, our hopes and fears, explaining our options, answering all our questions and how we can make our celebration ours. Jane gave us her brochure when leaving. We know are in safe hands. Lizzy and Pat.
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and admiration for the exceptional service you provided as a celebrant during our recent event. Your performance left an indelible mark on everyone present, and it is safe to say that your talent is truly remarkable.
Your natural warmth, unwavering attentiveness, eloquent delivery, and empathetic demeanour were beyond impressive. Your ability to connect with the attendees on such a profound level was genuinely touching, and it made a significant difference during the event.
Moreover, your attention to detail was nothing short of faultless. You ensured that every aspect of the ceremony was flawlessly executed. Your dedication to perfection did not go unnoticed, and it was greatly appreciated by all. Working with you was an absolute pleasure. Your professionalism, expertise, and the genuine care you showed for us and our families was exemplary.
Once again, thank you, Jane, for your exceptional service
Warm regards,
Stephanie
A recent house move marked the beginning of a new chapter and we wanted to mark the occasion with a non religious house blessing.
Jane took time to ask about the path that had led to this new beginning. Her ability to empathise and find just the right words was impressive. She clearly sensed the warm and welcoming vibe in the house that had first drawn us to it. This is doubtlessly a very intuitive lady who just knows how to strike the right balance between formality and fun in a celebration.
The blessing took place on a warm summer's evening with music and fireworks in the garden. It was perfect!

Annie says; I can wholeheartedly recommend Jane as Celebrant. She has an amazing gift for making you feel at ease and was very obliging accommodating our wishes in the ceremony to make our day such a memorable occasion. Thank you so much Jane.
We have just started our journey, but Jane seems to understand exactly what we are looking for.

We both wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding.
We have had so many of our guests comment on how personal and unique our wedding was.
You made it all about us in a way that was warm funny and personal.
I am so glad that we found you, such an amazing fit for us as a couple. I wanted to thank you on the day and had brought you some flowers, but by the time I had a moment you had gone 😔
Than you so much again you made it so special
Love
Judy and Mark
Hi Jane,
Thank you for all you did yesterday and in the lead up to the funeral. It meant my mum had a great service in her memory and helped us tremendously to cope with the emotions of the day.

We had our celebration at a country house with the ceremony out side. The weather had been pretty rough but Jane made certain there was an indoor venue incase.She made certain that my partner and I were calm and that every one had arrived. Luckily the sun shone as we laughed our way through our ceremony out side. Jumping the Broom was great fun. There was a confetti walk and Jane made sure that everyone had confetti to throw. She just made our day for us as we wanted. Thank you. B & C
