EXPERIENCE

I am a trained Independent Celebrant and a committee member of the Association of Independent Celebrants. I love creating unique weddings, vow renewals and life celebrations and bring warmth, empathy and love to my role as a celebrant. I also offer starlight vow renewals in our woodland in west Wales.

If you are looking for a non-traditional wedding, perhaps outdoors, or using herbalist blessings, or in the trees of your favourite woodland, or by running water. I love helping with non-conformist wedding ceremonies and creating a joyful, inspiring and truly unique day for couples and their loved ones.

I love helping couples celebrate their relationships with bespoke vow-renewal ceremonies. Married for 32 years and grateful every day for the amazing joy this brings me, I can think of nothing better than helping couples put into words the things that matter to them, the things that make their love unique.

Whether you are marking an anniversary, have come through a tough year and want to thank each other for the strength it has taken to get through, or simply because the time feels right, I'd love to help you create a ceremony that reflects how you feel in your hearts.


Life should include more celebration and I help people celebrate the lives of those they have lost with Life Celebrations that can reflect the person they loved and also provide support to the friends and family who will miss them. Working with families to create a ceremony that helps them start their grieving and say their goodbyes is one of the greatest privileges of my working life.

I have been a professional speaker and coach for almost 25 years and I believe this experience has prepared me well to be a Celebrant. I love listening and helping people share their stories, and find it enormously rewarding to help people write the words they can struggle to find themselves.

I am told I am warm, easy to talk to and that my ceremonies reflect exactly what my clients wanted to express.

CEREMONY STYLE

I have conducted life celebrations which required me to read the entire service and also services where I have simply been there to welcome and then support the family. I believe every event requires a unique approach and hope my listening skills mean I can offer that to everyone I work with.

For vow renewals, outdoor ceremonies and intimate ceremonies for couples are my speciality to date. I love working with couples on really private services, and recently conducted a renewal outside a tree house on top of a hill in West Wales. It was just the couple, myself and the photographer. A perfect celebration.

I also offer a Vow Renewal package where you can stay in our woodland hut for two nights, renew your vows in our woods by the pond or under a beautiful oak tree, followed by a picnic lunch. It is secluded and romantic and we'd love to welcome you to The Charcoal Hut at North Lodge.
