Weddings & handfastings
The joyful start of everything. Weddings and handfastings written from your story — vows you mean in your own words, rituals that reflect who you are, and a day that feels unmistakably yours.
Celebrant Services
Life's big moments deserve words that are truly yours.
I write and lead ceremonies for life's great thresholds — weddings and handfastings, funerals and memorials, vow renewals and naming days. Each one personal, each one yours.
Four thresholds, one promise.
However we mark the moment, the promise is the same: it will be your words, your story and your way of saying what this day means — never a script you could have found anywhere.
Funerals & memorials
A farewell held with gentleness and grace. Funerals and memorials that tell the truth of a life — its warmth, its humour, its legacy — giving family and friends a place to grieve together and begin.
Vow renewals
For love that has grown and endured. Vow renewals that look back with gratitude and forward with delight — a second saying of the words, richer for everything they have carried.
Naming & welcoming
A warm welcome into the world and into your circle. Naming and welcoming ceremonies that gather the people who matter most around a child — and around the promise you make to them.
A calm, well-held process — you bring the story, I carry the rest.
From first conversation to the day itself.
01
The first conversation
We meet — in person or on a call — and talk about the day, the people, and what the moment means. No forms, no pressure. Just the beginning of the story.
02
Shaping the ceremony
I write a ceremony that is entirely yours — drawing on our conversations, weaving in your readings, rituals and music — and we refine every word together until it rings true.
03
The day itself
I lead the day with warmth and steadiness, so you can be fully present in the moment. I arrive early, hold the room, and stay quietly in the background until it's your moment.
Moments I have been trusted to hold.
A few glimpses from ceremonies along the way — shared with each couple's and each family's blessing.
They had written their own vows on the back of an envelope at midnight, and were sure no one else would ever hear them. By the end of the afternoon, two hundred people were laughing and crying at exactly the right lines.
We spoke about his terrible puns and his fifty years of Sunday walks — and his family said afterwards that they had laughed for the first time since he died, and that it felt right that they did.
Her grandmother planted a rose with her, her brother sang — badly, beautifully — and a promise was made by everyone in the garden to be there for her, whatever the years bring.
