Hello, and welcome! I’m Amanda, and if you’re looking for a celebrant who is warm, fun, calm when you need calm, and very happy to laugh with you when the moment calls for it… you’ve just found her.

Your ceremony should feel like you. Yes, we can absolutely include beautiful vows, promises and rings, but we can also go way beyond that if you’d like. Handfasting with ribbons chosen for their meaning, surprise (or planned-surprise!) ring bearers, tequila or limoncello toasts, planting a rose, pebble rituals to “set your love in stone”, sing-along moments to the song that defines you, or little touches that involve your children, your family, or even your pets. There are so many gorgeous, meaningful, and sometimes delightfully unexpected ways to tell your story, and I love helping you find the ones that fit you perfectly.

A bit about me

I bring over 30 years of experience in the wedding and events world, and I’m a nationally recognised celebrant. In 2025 I was honoured to win National Family & Couples Celebrant, after being National Runner-Up the year before, but what really matters to me is how my couples feel on the day: relaxed, confident, and totally themselves.

I work across West Sussex and Hampshire, and I only ever take on one ceremony a day. That means when it’s your wedding, you have my full attention, my full energy, and my full heart in your ceremony.

What it’s like to work with me

I’ll get to know you properly — how you met, what you love about each other, what makes you laugh, what matters most to you, and what you want your guests to feel during your ceremony. Then I write your ceremony from scratch, just for you. No templates. No “insert names here”. Just your story, told with warmth, humour, sincerity, and a few lovely surprises along the way.

Couples often tell me that guests assume I must be a family friend, because the ceremony feels so personal and connected. That’s always the biggest compliment.

Why choose a celebrant?

A celebrant gives you freedom. Freedom of words, music, rituals, tone, location, and timing. You can keep the legal part simple and separate, then have the wedding day you actually want, surrounded by everyone you love, in a place that feels right, with a ceremony that reflects who you truly are as a couple.

Registrars do an amazing job with the legalities. What I do is the storytelling, the emotion, the laughter, the moments people talk about for years afterwards.

You’ll also sign a commemorative certificate during your ceremony, so everything flows beautifully and you still get that special “signing” moment for photos.

Your wedding, your way

Whether your vibe is romantic, relaxed, playful, heartfelt, quirky, traditional-with-a-twist, or something totally your own, I’m here for it. My job is to make sure your ceremony feels like the perfect start to your marriage, not just something to get through before the party.

If you’d like to chat, ask questions, or start imagining what your ceremony could look like, I’d absolutely love to hear from you. Let’s tell your story, your way.
