Weddings and Vow Renewals
A themed wedding is a unique choice that you may want to think about for your special day. You may have a tv series, film, favourite book, musical, a period in time or a subject that gives you inspiration and is influential to you.

To bring a ceremony together using your own personal thoughts and ideas that come from your heart and thinking out of the box, can create something more exciting and unique than you ever could imagine. A forest blessing in the guise of a fairy court, or a wedding dressed in Georgian attire at a stately home, a medieval ceremony at a castle; these things are all achievable.

I will endeavour to bring your individuality to the fore by creating a wedding ceremony especially unique to you.
Funerals, Celebration of Life Ceremonies
Arranging funerals for loved ones can be a daunting task.
Remembering someone’s life in a unique and personal way, with words only special to them.

This is where a celebrant comes in to make your life easier. Whether you choose a funeral, cremation, burial, memorial, scattering of ashes or a green burial, the words will be exclusively written about your loved one. Celebrating their life in the way that they would have wished. A ceremony of life dedicated especially to them.
Naming Ceremonies
A ceremony welcoming a child to the family. Children can enter into a family from birth or adoption. Bringing together family and friends to a naming ceremony, makes this moment in life extra special to a child and to the family.

It doesn’t have to end there; with many people out there having had a christening or naming ceremony at some point in their lives, you may want to reinforce the words that were said at the time or having changed your name, you may find a naming ceremony an important stepping stone to seal your new name.
Pet Memorials
A passing of a beloved family pet can create huge sadness upon the family. With the pet entering into you lives for just a short time, bringing with them an unbreakable bond of love and trust.

A burial in your garden or scattering of ashes at a most favoured spot is a beautiful way of saying “goodbye” and “thank you” to your best friend. Remembering them with words chosen uniquely by you.
Handfasting Ceremonies
Offering Pagan Celtic and Norse handfasting’s. (These are offered only to those following the Pagan pathways).

A unity ceremony in the form of a ‘non-pagan handfasting’ or tying of hands, can be added as part of your wedding ceremony.
