Welcome to
Life’s Celebrant
I’m Clare Janik, an Independent Celebrant, based in the South Cotswolds.
My choice of career has always involved supporting and helping people, which is when I’m at my happiest. I love listening to love, and life stories as everyone is remarkable and unique in their own way.
Shared dreams or individual memories help me to create ceremonies that are personal and distinctive, whatever the occasion, from birth to end of life.
Wedding & Civil Partnerships
Using my passion, style and creativity; your ceremony will reflect your values, beliefs and may contain ideas that you haven’t even thought of yet! There literally are no rules, only choices. You can embrace traditions, beliefs and rituals that speak to you, or create your own!
Other Ceremonies
Funerals
My desire when planning a funeral, interment or scattering of ashes is to help you create an occasion that is measured to your loved one and reflects the feelings of those grieving.
Renewal of Vows
Renewal of Vows
We celebrate love initially with an engagement followed by the wedding, and then over the years on each anniversary (no excuses for lapses of memory!).
Other Ceremonies
Naming Ceremonies
There can be nothing more joyful or beautiful than a naming ceremony. A naming ceremony can be large or small, formal or informal, with godparents/ guide parents or without and held in a venue or garden/woodland of your choosing.

Testimonials
Having known Clare for many years I am confident that anyone engaging Clare’s services as a celebrant will be overwhelmed by her compassion on a solemn occasion and sense of fun on a happy occasion. A true professional through and through.
Clare was so just fabulous. She listened as I went on & I mean went on. She understood & just appreciated who my Grandad was.
I really can’t thank her enough, I still well up remembering her words & the way she spoke about him. It was simply beautiful. Thank you Clare x
