HELLO, IT’S LOVELY TO MEET YOU!

First of all, let me give you my warmest Congratulations! You are taking a step forward in such an exciting time in your lives, and I am so glad you have decided to look for a Celebrant.  If you are looking for a personal, inclusive and sincere ceremony, full of meaning, and truly represents you and your beliefs and values, is filled with storytelling, love, and laughter,  then you have found someone who will be there for you 100%, get to know you, and take every step with you.  I promise,  you and your ceremony will be in safe hands! 

I believe that every love story is unique, and therefore deserves a unique ceremony – don’t you?  Every family has it’s own story and sharing life’s major milestones is important, to make those lasting memories.  I am a firm believer in equality and that every couple should be able to celebrate in any way they choose! I love creating ceremonies for Weddings, Vow Renewals, Elopements, Blessings, and Commitments, and can’t wait to find out what your plans and ideas are! 

Your ceremony is the heart of your day,  and should authentically represent you, your style, ideas, personalities, so it will not be a “one size fits all” template, where only the names are changed.  I want you to have exactly what you have dreamed of, without restrictions on timing, format, content and location, and a ceremony that is totally tailored to reflect your ideas, values and beliefs.

It’s really important to me that you have that choice, and that your ceremony contains your voice, and your personality. It’s also important to me, that everyone has the chance to celebrate their relationship in the way they wish, irrespective of their lifestyle.  Pop over to my “What does a Celebrant do?” page for more detailed information about how I can help, and hopefully get a little more inspiration! Oh and do check out my Top Tips for a Stress Free Ceremony page where I share my suggestions and advice, based on the 10 years’ experience I have as a Celebrant! 

It is also part of my role to help you with many more aspects of your ceremony, to guide and support you on this special occasion, so get in touch to find out more, and let’s just talk about your plans, and get to know one another a little.  Then, if you’d like to book, we can take things from there.

My own Celebrant journey began in 2003 when I was invited to attend a friend’s wedding in Australia, and was blown away by her totally personalised Ceremony, not just the location, but also the format and content.  I really loved the freedom they had to express themselves authentically, and when asked if I would like to speak to their Celebrant, I was excited and curious!  I was totally enchanted with the role : blending stories with rituals and creating magic and memories!  In 2011, I stepped back from a long career in public service, and began building my career as a Family and Marriage Celebrant.  I completed my Training in May 2011, and became a member of  the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants.

I am both excited and proud to have have been asked to create and deliver over 300 ceremonies for amazing couples!  Life offers so many possibilities, and since moving to Germany in 2017 with my husband, I have been able to celebrate Weddings, Elopements and Vow Renewals, both in the UK as well as in beautiful locations in Europe.  German was my mother’s language, but it was only following our move to Berlin in 2017 that I began offering ceremonies in both English and German, or incoroporate German traditions, quotes and poetry into the ceremony, and love how inclusive and special this makes everyone feel.
