The responsibility of a Celebrant is to ensure that a ceremony, be it a wedding, renewal of vows, baby naming or a funeral is going to be memorable in the hearts and minds of those present.

I take special care of those moments in life as it is a privilege and honour to be given the trust of a family or a couple to help them celebrate these significant events.

I have many years’ experience as an independent civil Celebrant, using my speech writing and public speaking skills to ensure occasions are creatively marked, to tell your story.

I am a member of the Fellowship Of Professional Celebrants.

Our motto is:
"Your Voice, Your Choice, Your Ceremony"

About me

Being able to help people is why I chose to become an independent civil Celebrant, to use my life skills to assist others.

I believe in taking special care of those moments in life, to value and capture them and make them memorable.

Having the ability to relate to people is important as a Celebrant and my work in the arts sector has further prepared me for this role.

Originally hailing from Scotland, I have lived in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire for over 25 years.

See the Funerals or Weddings section for more information on how my services can be of use or Contact me directly for more information or for quotes about any of my services.

Weddings

As a wedding Celebrant, I work with couples and families to create a civil ceremony that reflects individuality, the personal and the significant. Sharing such moments with friends and family seals a partnership in the minds and hearts of all those present – creating wonderful memories.

With marriage, recognising the union of two people in the official capacity is only one part of making a commitment to each other. With a celebrant wedding ceremony you are not restricted to a one-size-fits-all service. Your wishes and beliefs are at the centre of the day to create a celebration that reflects your personalities, including your own vows.

I will help tell your story as a couple, your love, hopes and commitment.

Funerals

Working with your appointed funeral service provider, I meet with family members to ensure the most fitting service can be provided for the recently lost loved one. We would discuss as follows:

Obtain information and insights into the deceased person’s character and life to compose and deliver a eulogy that does justice to them.

Understand the family’s requirements and wishes so I can create the service; non-religious or semi-religious (for those people with a spiritual belief but who are not regular worshippers).

Offer guiding support and suggestions for the spoken, musical or visual material that comprises the service: poems; music; readings and the Order of Service program. If required, help those who will be doing their own readings.

The fee for my work is handled by the funeral service company.
