Unforgettable, unique and full of love - even our dog had a starring role!

From the moment we met Claire, she just got us. We wanted a small, personalised ceremony that was full of warmth, laughter and heart - and she delivered it perfectly. She guided us through everything with calm, humour and so much care.
Our wedding took place in a stunning field surrounded by nature in rural West Berkshire, and Claire used the setting so beautifully in the ceremony itself. She even helped us plan a wet-weather Plan B (which, thankfully, we didn’t need!).
Claire came up with the brilliant idea of adding an Irish twist for my wife’s family - ‘locking the door behind the groom’ - which we recreated in the middle of the field with a set of double doors and used at the start of the ceremony for a quiet blessing with our parents. Everyone loved it.
We also had our dog, Atlas, as the Ring Bearer, and a handfasting where our family and friends helped to tie the knot - literally. Before that, Claire invited everyone to take part in a ‘cord warming’, passing the ribbons down each row so every guest could hold them and make a warm wish of love for our future. It was incredibly moving and set the tone for the whole ceremony.
The whole day was relaxed, emotional and exactly what we wanted. My mum and every single guest commented on how amazing the ceremony was. It was small, personal and stress-free - a day we’ll never forget. Even the photographer said he’d never witnessed such a unique and beautiful ceremony.
Claire is fantastic at what she does - she has this gift for turning ideas into moments that feel effortless and completely yours.
We can’t recommend her more highly to other couples.

Claire was at the heart of our special day

We chose Claire to create a combined Wedding & Naming Ceremony for our family, and it ended up being the most personal and memorable part of the day. She didn’t just write a script for us - she helped us shape an experience that reflected exactly who we are as a couple and as a family.

From the first call, Claire took the time to understand us properly. She helped us balance a Wedding Ceremony with a Naming Ceremony in a way that felt natural, warm and engaging for everyone. She guided us through including our boys' godparents in a way that made them feel truly honoured, while keeping the ceremony fun and accessible for our sons. She even helped us develop the idea of giving them engraved compasses with the coordinates of home, which turned into one of the most emotional moments of the whole day.

The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for. Guests taking selfies and usies before the start set such a relaxed, joyful tone. When the boys’ grand electric car entrance didn’t quite go to plan, Claire handled it brilliantly and kept the whole room smiling. And the Family Unity moment outside - standing in the middle of a heart-shaped circle formed by everyone we love - was a highlight we’ll never forget.

So many people told us afterwards that they’d never been to a ceremony like it before. It was heartfelt, funny, beautifully personal and completely unique to us.

If you want a celebrant who will genuinely listen, bring creative ideas, involve your family - including the dog! - in meaningful ways and craft something unlike anything you’ve seen, Claire is the one.

Simply the best


Claire wrote the most beautiful and personal vow renewal ceremony. It was full of love, laughter and sentiment. Claire just got us and understand who we were as a couple instantly. She is so friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble. On the day Claire was amazing and everything ran smoothly. We had so many compliments on the ceremony and Claire as a celebrant.
If you are looking for a celebrant look no further as Claire really is your lady for the job. We can’t thank her enough.
Claire - Thank you for everything. Still on a high now. You are flipping amazing xx

A rock ’n’ roll LOVE story like no other - the ceremony of our dreams!🤘💛

Our sweetest, amazing Claire - what an unforgettable day! The ceremony was absolutely perfect, hilarious, heartfelt and completely us. We still cry (happy tears!) thinking about it.

To anyone thinking about booking Claire to create your wedding ceremony - do it!

From the very first chat about our plans she understood exactly what we wanted and what mattered most. She created a wedding that was both fun and deeply emotional, blending our love of rock ’n’ roll with moments that had everyone - even the toughest leather-and-stud-clad rockers - wiping away tears behind their designer sunglasses.
The wedding started with us both - separately - walking down the aisle to our own theme tunes and that set the tone for the rest of the ceremony.

Our wedding took place at a local venue without a marriage licence, which gave us complete freedom to design the ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Claire wrote and delivered the most incredible Love Story that had our guests laughing out loud one minute and reaching for tissues the next. And the Cocktail Mixing Ceremony she dreamed up was pure genius - resulting in our very own 'Lady Annica & Sir David' Cocktail. Guests still talk about it!

Everyone said it was the most original and entertaining ceremony they’d ever been to, yet still full of heart, humour and love. In fact, one guest was so blown away that she later booked Claire for her own daughter’s wedding - saying no one else could possibly do a better job.

If you’re looking for a celebrant who will make your wedding unforgettable - one who listens, gets your vibe and brings your story to life - Claire’s your woman. She made our day the BEST, and we’ll never stop recommending her.

A Truly Exceptional Wedding Celebrant: Warm, Creative, and Full of Joy

I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Claire from All Your Love Celebrant at a wedding, and I can confidently say she’s one of the best wedding celebrants I’ve met. Claire is warm, engaging, and incredibly creative, she brings such a joyful, personal energy to every ceremony.

Her attention to detail and natural ability to connect with couples make her an absolute standout. I’d highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a wedding celebrant who can make their ceremony feel heartfelt, unique, and full of personality. She’s not only brilliant at what she does but also a genuinely lovely person who truly cares about every couple she works with.

Unforgettable, heartfelt and full of love – a ceremony that had everyone laughing and crying



We wanted a ceremony that was personal, heartfelt and a true reflection of our story – and Claire delivered that and so much more. From our very first conversation she understood exactly what we wanted and guided us through every detail with warmth, humour and care.

Our wedding took place in the beautiful Temple of Peace in Cardiff, straight after our small legal ceremony, and Claire made the transition into our full celebration seamless. Every guest felt part of the day. She included a ring warming so everyone could hold our rings and pass on their love and blessings while she told our Love Story – a story that had the entire room laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next.

Claire also came up with a wonderful way to honour loved ones we’ve lost, inviting us to light a candle quietly at the beginning and giving their photos pride of place so they could “watch” the ceremony with us. My sister read a Welsh poem, and both my husband and I walked down the aisle to our own music – it truly felt like our ceremony belonged to us and our families.

So many guests said it was the most moving, personal and unique wedding they’d ever attended. It was everything we hoped for and more: beautiful, emotional, funny and full of love.

We can’t thank Claire enough for helping us create a ceremony that will stay with us forever.

A wedding that we - and our guests - will never forget!

Claire came very highly recommended and certainly did not disappoint! Claire exceeded every dream and expectation and helped us to create the most beautiful, perfect, personalised wedding ceremony. Guests have since told us that "It was the best wedding they had ever been to". We had the ceremony filmed and have watched it many times already, still laughing and crying throughout.
Having sadly lost my Dad - I wanted to honour him in a special, memorable way. But no sadness ... just joy. We had a cocktail-making mini ceremony, a strong drink to help us calm the nerves and a moment to remember Dad with some very warm words from Claire.
Our ceremony also included a wedding time capsule, promise ring/jewellery for my children, a heartfelt Love Story written by Claire, handfasting/tying the knot .. and hidden wedding rings and a very special secret ring-bearer.
You wouldn't fine this kind of EXCEPTIONAL anywhere else. Claire is unique and magnificent & will hold a special place in our hearts, forever!

Our Love Story was told with so much care

From the very start, we told Claire we wanted a ceremony that felt adventurous, full of humour and love (and beer!), and completely personal to us. She absolutely delivered. Our Love Story was told with so much care – from the light-hearted moments (Hello, Wetherspoons) that made everyone laugh to the words that had us both in tears, it was everything we’d hoped for and more. The handfasting ribbons, our loved ones' surprise at being invited to step up to place them, and the closing 'summit' moment under the willow tree with confetti flying made it unforgettable. Guests told us they’d never experienced a ceremony so personal, heartfelt and fun. Claire struck the perfect balance – laughter, happy tears, and words about our relationship that felt exactly right. Right after the ceremony I told Claire, "I always knew it was going to be good - I had no idea it could have been that good!". We’ll always treasure the memories of that day, and we’re so grateful to Claire for giving us a ceremony that felt like ours and ours alone.

Highly recommended

I first saw Claire conduct a wedding some time ago, and I practically insisted that Rachel have her for hers. It was the best advice I could have given. What stood out was that Rachel and James’ ceremony wasn’t a copy of the other – it was completely their own. From the cocktail-mixing tribute, to Daisy’s commitment ring, Dougie’s token, my mum, aka Nanny Peg, as the secret ring bearer, and the time capsule, it was full of fun, warmth, variety and meaning. Claire handled everything with such care, especially in the way she spoke about family. Guests laughed, cried and said they’d never been to a wedding like it. Even now we’re still smiling (and tearing up) whenever we talk about it. It was unforgettable, and Claire made it so.

Absolutely amazing ❤️

If you’re looking for an officiant who can gracefully steer a ship through beautiful, hilarious madness – look no further than Claire. She pulled together our full ceremony in just 11 days (her record, apparently!) and made it look like it took months. Claire was not just our officiant; she was the calm in the storm, the glue holding it all together, and honestly, the MVP of our wonderfully chaotic wedding day. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to get to know us, understand our story, and somehow translated our barely-organised thoughts into a ceremony that was heartfelt, hilarious, and 100% us. The handfasting under the Pride flags was the most beautiful symbol – a moment we and our guests will never forget. And thank goodness for her composure, because let’s be real – nothing went according to plan. One bride arriving too early, a groomsman without the cords… through it all, Claire didn’t miss a beat. She rolled with every twist with a smile, cracked the perfect jokes at just the right moments, and made everyone feel the magic in the chaos. She struck a beautiful balance between sentiment and humour, and somehow made our ceremony feel like it was meant to be that way all along. Guests are still talking about how personal and real it felt – and we have Claire to thank for that. We cannot recommend her enough. Claire, thank you for your grace, your humour, and for being the steady hand in the most delightfully unpredictable day of our lives.

The fastest in the west

Claire is amazing. She somehow pulled together our whole ceremony in 11 days and made it feel like it had been planned forever. When I turned up too early, Claire quickly organised a Human Wall to hide me so I didn’t ruin the surprise for Magda. She also did some last-minute stage setting to make the most of the field we were in. She got to know us so well and gave us exactly what we wanted – even the bits we didn’t realise ourselves at the time. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Claire is absolutely amazing!!

Claire was amazing every step of the way. We had a steampunk wedding theme and Claire was immediately on board with so many amazing ideas! We had much more of a relaxed plan as we weren't sure what to expect with a wedding ceremony and Claire took her time to explain what to expect and all the different important aspects of the ceremony we would need to look at. She took so much time getting to know us and what we wanted for our ceremony and the end result was absolutely perfect. We had telegrams, a handfasting, and even my amazing nan was included in our ceremony.. so many factors that made it perfectly us! Thank you so much for making our day so fabulous Claire! All of our guests were so emotional and set the mood for the rest of our day, and everyone we've spoken to says it was the best ceremony and wedding they had been to due to it being so personalised... So if you are looking for a more alternative theme, Claire will definitely ace it!

Beautiful ceremony!

Claire delivered a beautiful ceremony for us, taking into account our preferences and the tone we wanted. We had so many compliments on how unique and personal the ceremony was, and it was a huge part of us having such a wonderful day. Her style is very warm and welcoming. Beforehand, she was responsive and flexible to meetings, and a pleasure to meet with - we would recommend to anyone wanting a bit of a different ceremony! From Miriam and Sam :)

Claire is warm, knowledgable, fun and so helpful

From the moment we had our first call with Claire we knew we had made the right decision.
Claire was warm, really helpful and genuinely excited to guide us through the ceremony planning. Her ideas were original and she wasn’t afraid to give her opinion and offer advice which was so gratefully received.
On the Big Day Claire was fully in control and made us feel relaxed and comfortable, she brings colour, cheer and warmth and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Magical Wedding Experience

From the initial preparations to the heartfelt ceremony and the thoughtful copy of our Love Story she left us with, our experience with Claire as our wedding celebrant was nothing short of enchanting. Claire's attention to detail, coupled with her genuine passion for her work, left an indelible mark on our hearts.

One of the standout qualities of Claire is her adaptability and willingness to roll with unique circumstances. Having celebrated our wedding locally in the States, we approached our UK celebration with a desire for something distinct and tailored to our journey. Claire not only embraced our vision but played an instrumental role in crafting a customized ceremony that perfectly encapsulated our love story.

Working with Claire was an absolute delight. Her magnetism was palpable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the entire process. From the initial interviews where she took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple, to the crafting of our detailed love story, Claire demonstrated a level of dedication that surpassed our expectations.

The ceremony itself was a masterpiece. Claire's ability to retell our story in a way that captivated our guests and made them feel intimately connected to our journey was truly remarkable. Her words were not just a narration; they were a heartfelt celebration of love, friendship, and commitment. It was evident that Claire had poured her heart into creating a ceremony that was as unique as our relationship.

We wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone seeking a celebrant for their wedding or any other special occasion. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm personality make her a standout choice, ensuring that your celebration will be as extraordinary and memorable as ours.

Claire, thank you for making our special day truly magical!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
