✨Clare & Luke ✨

What a day at the gorgeous for this lovely pair!

Clare worked so hard on all the homemade decor and even made their beautiful handfasting chord which we used to conclude their ceremony, after they exchanged personal vows that made everyone cry (!), had two family members share readings that reflected their deep love for one other and for nature, and had their rings ‘delivered’ by their gorgeous Astrid 🐾

The rain showers held off long enough for us to be on the lawn under Lancrigg’s iconic tree with the dramatic backdrop of the Lake District hills behind us. It was perfect, and the odd gust of wind gave Clare’s dress the extra WOW factor 😍

Congratulations both and thank you for choosing me to be your celebrant ###x

So lovely working with such a fab team too:

✨Clare & Russell ✨

Today was spent lapping up the views with this lovely pair during their intimate elopement ceremony .

This couple deserve the world, so I was so thrilled they got the weather they wanted so we could be outside overlooking gorgeous Windermere for their ceremony.

Together we reflected on everything they’ve been through, all their dreams for the future and some funny (but true) readings that spell out the reality of marriage…!

They chose to incorporate a unity candle; we had a surprise air show with several of the lowest flying aircraft I’ve seen (!)…and they signed a certificate before sealing things with a kiss and a good G&T! 🥂

Bloody love my job! ❤️ thanks for having me & can’t wait to see the photographs from lovely 📷

🤍 Yu & Andrew 🤍

What a day we had last month for this wonderful pair!

They bumped into one another at a train station in Japan…Andrew asked for directions, and that was it. They both knew that evening they had found their person ❤️

Their love story could be the plot for the next big hitting rom com, and I loved being the one to share it during their bespoke, intimate ceremony!

We combined meaningful traditions from Japan and the UK, exchanging vows and promises, a wine box ceremony to kickstart a new anniversary tradition, and Hanko stamps were used to sign their ceremony certificate.

Their furbaby Tom joined in the celebrations and with the help of Nigel from he got to sign the wedding certificate as a VIP witness 🐾 😍

& Andrew, thank you for choosing me to be your celebrant. It was an absolute joy! 🥰

Thanks too to the supremely talented 📷 & wonderful team for taking such good care of me at ###

What a great, informative morning at Lancaster & Morecambe Crematorium open day today - a perfect opportunity to show the family where I work and help them understand what I do and why it is so important.

The brilliant team put on a range of activities that the kids loved, from thoughtful crafts to encounters with therapy animals from Life Between The Ears - which made a certain little animal-mad girl grin from ear to ear!❤️

The unexpected treat of fish and chips was an added bonus - as was meeting the lovely Matilda’s Mission, Abis arrangements and seeing the lovely friendly faces at Preston Ireland Bowker Funeral Directors.

Thanks so much to the team who made it all happen - and for always making us celebrants feel so welcome and supported. I hope you managed to raise lots for Matilda’s Mission🤞

✨ Kathy & Matthew ✨

This gorgeous pair had me belly laughing from the first moment we met. Their natural banter and tales of their hilarious adventures meant I knew their wedding would be a corker… and it didn’t disappoint! 😍

Their ceremony was full of humour as well as poignant, heartfelt moments - and I genuinely loved every second.

Every bit of it was wonderful - from the stunning location alongside the water at , the guests who were so friendly and chatty from the moment they arrived, to the impromptu involvement of a little boy who got out of his seat and ran up to the front to have a good look at the rings during their vows! (He approved…it was so sweet!) 😍

Kathy & Matthew’s guests were full of wonderful comments afterwards - one even came up to me in tears saying it was the nicest ceremony she’d ever heard 🥹

The couple’s kind words about their ceremony were something else….. (scroll for review ❤️)

💕KIND WORDS 💕

💬 I cannot thank you enough for Saturday. It’s making me well up just thinking about how wonderful you made our day. You were perfect, we could not have asked for a better person to marry us. Every word was said with love and feeling, and it felt like you’d known us for ages. So many people came up to us all through the day saying how amazing you were and asking where we knew you from and how long we’d known each other!! We were blessed with the weather and blessed to have found you. You were perfect. Thank you!! 💬

THANK YOU so much for choosing me, K & M! And thanks for having me xx

❤️ Joana & Alan ❤️

I’ve still not recovered from this amazing day in sunny, bonny Scotland… which may also be a contender for the most emotional ceremony I’ll ever deliver 🥹

The sun was shining, showing off in all its glory! The gorgeous venue was filled to the brim with colourful, happy blooms, twinkly fairy lights, amazing live music, bagpipes and a team of suppliers that couldn’t do more for our lovely pair 🥰

It was a huge honour to lead the ceremony for my beautiful friend and her dashing man, Alan - and I definitely lost control of my chin a few times (but fortunately suppressed the sobs! 😂)

Thanks for having me, and congratulations again Mr & Mrs Graham ###xx

✨WOW ✨

Sometimes messages and reviews hit different - and Grace and James’ words brought tears to my eyes ❤️

This gorgeous pair had the most beautiful day at and they had their heart set on their ceremony taking place in the fabulous (roofless) ruin. We went for it, despite the showers, and the ☂️ made for the best photographs!

Congratulations you two and thank you for choosing me as your celebrant! 🥰 X###

💬 *We can honestly say that Lara was one of the highlights of our wedding day and we are so glad that we had her as our celebrant...

💬*The way Lara told our story was ingenious and so insightful and she made the order of the ceremony flow so effortlessly. She is so good at what she does!

✨Paula & Ste✨

The weather was still scorchio for today’s late afternoon celebrations for this gorgeous pair ☀️

The sun was beaming down 30 years ago too when they got married not far away in Glenridding!

Today, we recreated the magic in .bridge.inn fab pub garden. Two friends read poems that were both touching and hilarious (!);P&S shared personal promises with one another that made every single person cry… and we involved their family and best friends in a sand ceremony that signified the unity, love and incredible support that has surrounded them 🫶

It was beautiful.

Today meant such a lot to them and I LOVED helping them bring their vision to life!

Paula said afterwards that it felt more special than her wedding day….🥹 Job done!❤️
