Putting people at the heart of ceremony 

Let’s make your ceremony about you. Maybe that means honouring tradition, maybe it means breaking free of rules and restrictions.

I love working with people who want to create something special. Life’s big events don’t come around all that often, so I think we should seize the opportunity to make a big day memorable when we can.

How much does it cost?

I will work with you to design your perfect ceremony.

Why I’m an independent celebrant

As an independent Celebrant, I am free to help you craft a ceremony that best represents you and your unique identity. We can combine religious and non-religious elements, host it at your perfect venue and include as many people in the celebration as you like. We can also be more flexible on timings and schedules, so you can take all the time you need.

Rain delay? No problem. Want to get married under the stars at night? Let’s do it. Host a memorial at your loved one’s favourite beach? Beautiful idea. The possibilities are endless.

I am open and inclusive and I work with all couples and families.

I live in Knaresborough and work primarily in North Yorkshire, but I can also cover other areas of the North and North East. If my diary allows, I am also happy to travel further afield by special request.
