Your Celebrant
Hi, I'm Wendy
With over ten years of experience in the wedding and events industry, I have had the privilege of helping people celebrate some of life’s most important moments. Throughout my career, I have organised and managed a wide variety of events, developing a deep understanding of what makes an occasion truly memorable.
As a Civil Celebrant, I bring that same passion, attention to detail, and personal approach to every ceremony I create. I believe that every story deserves to be told in a meaningful and authentic way, whether it’s celebrating a marriage, welcoming a child into a family, renewing vows, or honouring the life and memories of a loved one.
I understand that no two people, families, or relationships are the same. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, listen to your wishes, and create a ceremony that reflects your personality, values, and journey.
My aim is to make the process enjoyable, reassuring, and stress-free, helping you create lasting memories through a ceremony that feels genuinely personal and heartfelt.
Whether you are planning a wedding, vow renewal, naming ceremony, funeral, memorial service, or celebration of life, I would be honoured to help you mark your special occasion with warmth, care, and professionalism.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is a civil celebrant?
A civil celebrant writes and leads a ceremony that is personal to you. It is not tied to a religion or a venue, so the words, music and rituals are entirely your choice.
What types of ceremonies do you offer?
Weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies and celebrations of life, each written from scratch around the people involved.
Where can we have our ceremony?
Almost anywhere you like: a countryside venue, a garden, a beach, your own home or a hall. I travel across the UK and beyond.
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings, as early as you can, as popular dates fill up. Naming ceremonies and celebrations of life can often be arranged at shorter notice.
Can we include personal touches?
Yes. Readings, music, family involvement, symbolic rituals and your own vows can all be woven in.
