NORTHANTS CELEBRANT

In planning your life together, you will want to make your day special and memorable.  

A Celebrant Wedding Ceremony can be as extravagant or as simple as you want it to be.  I will work with you  to coordinate your wedding and help you compose the right ceremony for the you.

Marriage is legally binding, to comply with the law, a short signing at the registry office of a marriage or civil partnership is required. I can assist in the arranging of this for you. This is a very quick formality that can be carried out before or after your Civil Ceremony.

You are then then free to allow your imagination to run wild to create a perfect, personal celebration which I will be honoured and privileged to assist, guide, advise and carry out for you.

In order to create the perfect ceremony for you, I will help and make suggestions if needed for vows, poems, readings and music, involving you and others.

Following on from the ceremony, you will be presented with a script of the day to commemorate your professional, bespoke ceremony.

Your Vow Renewal ceremony, will be equally as important to  you as your wedding day was.

A Celebrant Vow Renewal can also be as extravagant or as simple as you want it to be.  I will work with you  to coordinate your Vow Renewal and compose the right ceremony for the you.

Marriage is legally binding, however, Vow Renewals do not have the same legal requirements, which allows you to let  your imagination run wild.

The ceremony can be held anywhere you wish. Permission  may be required if your service is help in a public space, although your home or garden will reduce any  un-necessary complications.

Be romantic, have your event at the place you first met, at your favourite place, the choice is yours.

Your service can be as formal or informal as you wish, use your original vows or create new vows as you would wish. Hand-fasting ceremonies (tying the knot) are popular in Vow Renewals and something you may wish to consider.

Following on from the ceremony, you will be presented with a script of the day to commemorate your professional, bespoke ceremony.

 Many couples marrying or renewing their vows look to a Family Commitment Ceremony as a way to include their children in their ceremony. 

Children play an important role in a marriage, whether they are the couples children together, or from previous relationships bringing both families together. This is symbolised lighting of a family unity candle , each family member would  participate in.

Symbolically, you  together as a family, you will each take a candle and together light the unity candle to create the brightest light. 

Following on from the ceremony, you will be presented with a script of the day to commemorate your professional, bespoke ceremony, additionally you will keep the candles as a memory of the commitment each of you make to each other.

A naming ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of a new baby or to welcome an adopted child or step-children into your family and wider community. Many families choose to hold a naming ceremony to celebrate their child’s arrival.

Naming ceremonies can be arranged by any parent or guardian, and there is no age limit so older children can be included in the same ceremony.

The ceremony has no legal standing but it is an opportunity for a public gesture of love and support for your child.

We will ensure that your ceremony is a special event and will tailor your ceremony to suit your child’s age and your family situation.

Whether you are celebrating a wedding, a naming ceremony, a family commitment, a renewal of vows, or a funeral, I can help you design a service that reflects your values, beliefs, and preferences. 

As your Civil Celebrant, I will listen to your wishes and work with you to craft a service that honours your life and your relationships. I will also deliver the service with dignity and respect, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of celebrating diversity and inclusion.

I would be honoured to conduct a service for you and help you create a memorable and heartfelt occasion. Contact me today to find out more about how I can help you. 

Celebrate Your Journey

Embrace your true self, as your dedicated celebrant, I specialise in creating bespoke Transgender Affirmation & Naming Ceremonies—a celebration of your unique journey and the completion of your transition.

Why Have a Transgender Naming Ceremony? 

Declare to the world, “This is who I am.” Share this milestone with loved ones.

Acknowledge both your past and your future. Express gratitude to those who supported you.

Your name change signifies a fresh chapter—a chance to live authentically.

Your authentic self awaits!

Losing a loved one is a profound journey—one that deserves reverence, compassion, and a personalised touch. As your funeral celebrant, I step into this sacred role, offering solace and support during your time of grief.

I am from a non-clergy background, entrusted with officiating funeral services. I will honour the life of your loved one  that has passed, celebrate memories, and provide comfort to the bereaved family.

No two lives are the same. I will listen to you and create a service that reflects your loved one’s essence.

Whether religious or secular, we honour diverse beliefs and spiritual paths.

Non-Religious Funerals: For those seeking a service free from religious affiliations.

Spiritual Themes: If prayers, hymns, or spiritual elements are desired, I will include them into the ceremony.

I will share stories, anecdotes, and cherished memories—the tapestry of a life well-lived.

Your loved one’s story takes centre stage. Our words echo love, resilience, and the legacy left behind.

Facing the Inevitable: Pre-Planning with Compassion 

As a funeral celebrant, I urge you to embrace the conversation we often shy away from: death.

When we discuss our wishes openly, we lift the veil of uncertainty. Loved ones deserve to know what you envision—a celebration of life, a quiet farewell, or something in between.

By pre-planning, you empower those who will carry out your wishes. They won’t be left guessing; they’ll have a service that you wrote with my help to honour your legacy.

Grief is complex enough. Let’s simplify it. Documenting your desires—whether it’s a woodland burial, a heartfelt eulogy, or a scattering of ashes—reduces the burden on those left behind.

We tiptoe around the topic, as if silence could delay the inevitable. We assume there’s always time—tomorrow, next year, someday. We fear that discussing it might invite fate.

Please, consider this: pre-planning is an act of love. It’s a gift to your family—removing additional pressures as they grieve for you.

Traditional or unconventional? Flowers or charitable donations? What stories do you want echoing through generations?

These are all things you can put in place to relieve your loved ones of that added pressure.

Let’s sit together,  I’ll provide the tools—the forms, the guidance—to pre-plan. We’ll honour your wishes, your quirks, your essence.
