FAQs

The ceremony may contain religious overtones or none whatsoever – the choice is yours, as with including existing traditions. You can pick those that resonate with you or none at all. So, in many ways, a celebrant-led service is all about choice: your ceremony, your way – no two occasions are the same.

I hope my website and testimonials have given you a flavour of me and my approach to crafting and conducting ceremonies.  I am an open and inclusive person who aims to be thoughtful and kind in all that I do.   I have an eye for detail and a creative streak that will run riot as much as you need or want it to.  Fully trained with The Celebrants Collective, I regard myself as a professional with a friendly face and warm manner to match.

Absolutely!  Love is love after all – everyone has the right to express and celebrate their love for another person.  Through my life and career, I worked with a wide range of people that have enlightened my mind and brought joy to my heart.  The only people I could not work with are those that are blighted by discriminatory views or opinions.  Again, love is love.

Another absolutely!  You need to know you’ve got the right person for the job! Please request a call or send me an email and we can arrange a time to chat about the ceremony you have in mind and how I can help you achieve the very best of occasions.   

I am happy to travel within a 30-mile radius of GL6 free of charge; I’m still happy to travel beyond that area but will charge for additional travel costs and accommodation if required.  If conducting your ceremony overseas then I would be thrilled to travel to your destination, with all costs of travel and accommodation covered by yourselves.

This may sound like an odd question, but I understand you might like reassurance that my outfit suits the occasion.   I have a wardrobe which spans from relaxed informal to smart and elegant – all bases are covered!  I will always check to see if there are any colours you’d like me to avoid, and you can even persuade me to dress-up if your celebration gathering is themed!

You may already know what readings or music you would like during your ceremony but, if not, I am more than happy to make suggestions once I’ve got to know you a little better.  I have my personal choices which I’ve gathered over the years – what’s important is that they resonate with you and the occasion! 

All scripts are handcrafted; I do not use templates.

Should you need to postpone your ceremony, then I will honour your new date as long as my availability allows.  I would recommend you contact me as soon as possible though so I can check my diary, if not, cancellation fees may apply.  I will retain the booking fee and require complete payment prior to 28 days of your new date.

For cancellations, please refer to my terms and conditions.

Of course! I will always provide a full script/eulogy before a funeral or memorial service for final approval. But as regards, other ceremonies, the choice is yours! You may like to see just an outline, a full version or keep it a total surprise for your big day. And you can even change your mind along the way!

No, not as far as I’m concerned. I only conduct one ceremony a day, so I’m all yours for as long as you need me!

I am happy to include as much religious content as you would like or none at all – the choice is entirely yours.

There are many ways that children can play a part during any ceremony – I am happy to chat through any suggestions you may have or share ideas about how might you give them a role.
