During my career in the NHS, Police, event management and planning I have been able to bring support to people during their most challenging times and to bring joy during life’s celebrations.
I am here to help and support you along the journey. From our first meeting, planning and designing, to delivery on the day, ensuring a bespoke ceremony celebrating love and life. Honoring, remembering and celebrating life is my aim, to make sure that you have the ceremony you want and make memories last for evermore.
Trained as an independent celebrant through The Academy of Professional Celebrants and fully insured for your peace of mind and assurance.
I am a Mum and Wife and enjoy spending time with my loved ones and enjoying beach and wood walks with my very vocal Dachshund Paddy.
No story is the same and I believe no ceremony should be the same.
I will ensure your ceremony is true to your wishes and your style.
I will be organised and punctual and follow through with everything we agree upon.
I will break the mould or honour tradition, whichever you prefer, or create a mix of the two.
I’m all for equality, diversity and individuality. All couples welcome.
I will draw on my experiences as a celebrant, a guest and an all-round organiser to assist and guide you through the process of planning your ceremony.
