About me

Hello, I’m Julie, the smiley one in the orange dress, with my husband on our daughter’s wedding day which is where this all began.  I’ve always loved a good wedding, especially those that are a truly personal celebration of the happy couple so I decided to train as a Civil Celebrant with the International College of Professional Celebrants.  I’ve also always loved creative writing and I now design and deliver ceremonies for all of life’s milestones, both happy and sad, and it is an honour and privilege to be a part of these special days.

Creating beautiful, inclusive, and meaningful ceremonies for all of life’s milestones.

Weddings & Vow Renewals

We get to know each other from our initial meeting & then through our chats/emails I’ll find out more about your love story and the atmosphere and style of ceremony you’d like. I can suggest ideas on music, readings and poems and the all important ring exchange and vow wordings. You can incorporate symbolic rituals like handfasting, sand-blending, unity candle & so many others that can also include your family and friends. Your ceremony should be as individual as you two … warm, engaging & informal or as grand & elaborate as you want at a time & location of your choice. I will send your bespoke ceremony script (which we can then collaborate on & tweak if needed) and you will receive a final presentation copy as a keepsake. We can rehearse if required & then on the big day I will arrive early to ensure all runs smoothly. As you know, a celebrant can’t marry you legally at present, but this can be done easily at a local Register Office (just like registering a birth) with 2 witnesses to obtain your legal paperwork. This will leave you free to celebrate on your chosen day/venue with your bespoke, heart-warming, uplifting & memorable ceremony that reflects the two of you, your values and hopes for the future.

Namings

If you’d like a non-religious ceremony to celebrate your new arrival, adopted child or blended family then a naming ceremony is perfect to share the love and thanks with your favourite people.  It’s an opportunity to thank those who have supported you, to include parental promises and assign guardians/guide parents to support and inspire if you’d like.  A wonderful day to create memories for all to cherish.

Funeral & Memorial Ceremonies

Providing support to family & friends in creating a unique ceremony to remember the life of a loved one.  Sharing your stories & precious memories, selecting meaningful music and perhaps a reading or poem, the choice is yours. To be trusted to hold space for those grieving and to deliver the final ceremonial farewell is something I consider to be a very special honour.

Kind Words

I would just like to thank you so much for the lovely service you gave for my husband’s funeral on Friday. It was just perfect and much appreciated by everyone who attended.

Once again – thank you.

Thank you so much,  Julie-  the Service was lovely,  a serene farewell,  and we believe that was exactly what Pam requested.

Our very best wishes

Really happy we had you as our celebrant to renew our wedding vows. This time we wanted to have a big family celebration including our children and all our nearest and dearest. We wanted to tell them all about our love story and re-do our wedding vows in a happy and fun way…and you really did deliver!

I really can’t thank you enough  Julie for helping us through this difficult time and for all your hard work in preparing and delivering yesterday’s service . I was extremely anxious about having to organise the service single handed , but as soon as we started talking , I knew that I had nothing to worry about and all the stress / worry disappeared !

Just wanted to try and say thank you so much for making moms service special. Mom would have been touched. You captured her beautifully I am very lucky that you were chosen to represent my mom bless you.

Julie we honestly can’t thank you enough, we’ve had so many comments on how perfect the ceremony was, funny and romantic but never cringey! It was so us, I will recommend you to everyone we know, it was so special.

Julie took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel comfortable before the big day. Additionally, she was flexible and thought through every part of the day & even asked what we’d like her to wear on the actual wedding day. She also took on board our feedback and shared our personal story which genuinely engaged the guests and it made it more memorable. We would definitely recommend her and had no hesitations throughout the entire planning process!

You took so many details of our story, our family and our friends and created the most perfect ceremony script (that it didn’t need any altering).
Extremely grateful you were involved with our day and I’ll recommend you to anyone that needs you in the future!
