About

Your Story, Your Ceremony!

Hi, I'm Emma - an experienced independent celebrant based in the South West. Your story is unique, and your ceremony should be too. I specialise in creating beautiful, personal, and heartfelt weddings that truly reflect you. If you haven't got the time to read on, why not check out my short video introduction to see if I'm the right vibe for you...

Choosing a celebrant is such a personal choice so I'd love to have a chat to talk all things you and your wedding, and give you a chance to see if we're a good fit!

About Me
I’m a celebrant based in South Devon, but I love travelling across the South West and beyond. I’m warm, approachable, and dedicated to making you feel supported every step of the way. I love getting to know my couples: your story, quirks, dreams, and that little thing you do when you think no one’s looking. Then I turn all of that into a ceremony that’s totally you.

I can include meaningful rituals like hand-fasting, sand ceremonies, or candle-lighting, and whether you want laughter, tears, or both, I’ll make it happen. My goal is to give you confidence before and on the day so you can focus on enjoying your wedding.

I also love a challenge - let me know if there's something a little more out of the ordinary you'd like and we'll see if we can make it happen!

How It Works
1. Discovery Call - An informal, zero-obligation chat to get to know each other and see if we'd be a good fit.

2. Meeting - Ideally face-to-face (or video call if you'd prefer).This is where we deep-dive into your plans and dreams - and maybe share a coffee or (or glass of wine!) or two.

3. Crafting your ceremony - I’ll get to work writing your personalised script, making sure it’s unique, heartfelt, and maybe a little cheeky if that’s your vibe.

4. Wedding Day - I’ll ensure everything runs smoothly, so you just show up, look fabulous, and enjoy the best day ever

Inclusivity
I celebrate love in all its forms and welcome couples of every background, identity, and orientation. I also know that sometimes there will be barriers or additional needs that you will want support with. I will really listen to you and your needs to make sure that we create a ceremony which leaves you feeling relaxed, and happy and genuinely excited, so that we can get on with the important job of celebrating YOU TWO!

I would recommend Emma to anyone!

I really didn't want just anyone to "marry" me and my husband. I was looking for someone who was personable, relatable, down to earth and would make the ceremony feel easy and natural and Emma delivered in every aspect. She was so easy to talk to, she was calm, patient and thought of details I never did. Emma made the whole process so easy and stress free. She was able to convey our story with love, humor, tact and grace. Everyone complimented how well they thought Emma did afterwards and I was and still am in "awe" of how eloquently she managed to captured our story. I am so grateful to Emma for making this such a beautiful memory and being so approachable throughout. I recommend her to all my friends and would absolutely recommend Emma to anyone!

The best we could have wished for.

We were so pleased to have found Emma to be our Celebrant. She was involved and invested from the start and went above and beyond.

Our guests warmed to her style and officiating. She helped us craft a ceremony we really wanted and will treasure forever. From the hand fasting to the broom jumping, all was just perfect.

You will certainly not go wrong with Emma.

The most amazing celebrant!

From our very first email to our Wedding day, Emma was there for us throughout.

She is so personable and really cares about her role as a celebrant. She made sure to really get to know me and my partner so that our ceremony script was truly ours which made our day that extra bit more magical.

I remember talking to Emma and discussing how most people only really ever talk about the party when thinking back to weddings but, really, the ceremony should be the most important and remembered part; ours will be thanks to Emma.

The best decision we made was having Emma as our celebrant and, as an extra bonus, Emma even printed a copy of our script and gifted it in a box to treasure forever.

Thank you so much for making our day even more amazing than we could have ever imagined! X

Emma made our day feel so special - we couldn’t recommend her enough!

We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Emma. From the very first email, she put us completely at ease and managed to “get” us straight away! Every meeting with her felt like chatting with an old friend, and by the time the big day came, we were so excited to finally get to meet her in person.

Emma went above and beyond in every way - she took so much time to get to know us, to understand what mattered most to us, and she turned all of that into a ceremony that felt so special and so us it was like she had known us for years. The level of attention and detail that went into planning our ceremony just emphasises how much Emma cares about everyone she works with. She guided us through everything with kindness, calm, and a brilliant sense of humour.

We were honestly so sad when it was all over and when we realised it was time to say goodbye - which probably says it all! Emma is not only incredible at what she does, but she does it with such passion and heart. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your celebrant, you’ll be in the very best hands.
We can’t thank Emma enough for everything she did for her and for how special she made our big day.

A Dorset Wedding 💚

What can I say? Emma was absolutely incredible and made our ceremony everything we dreamed of and more. She’s warm, accommodating, and wonderfully charismatic. So many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. I credit this entirely to Emma’s beautifully written script (which captured us both perfectly) and her engaging presence. The only downside is that we won't get to work with her again—unless my husband continues to leave his pants on the floor! Thank you, Emma, our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without you.

Perfect celebrant and ceremony!

We chose Emma as our celebrant for our intimate wedding and couldn't recommend her more! She is so lovely and really helped us to think about how we wanted our ceremony to be. She made the effort to get to know us before the day (meeting in person in a cosy pub and having video calls) and remembered so many details about our lives which she weaved into a warm, personal and fun script. All our guests commented what a great job Emma did. She also didn't rush off after the ceremony but stayed to help us organise a confetti throw and chat to our families.

Emma’s positivity, lightheartedness and incredible organisation made us feel calm on the day and during the lead up to it.

Thanks again for being such an integral part of making our day feel so special xx

Perfect from start to finish

We are so glad that we chose to work with Emma for our ceremony. We clicked with Emma from the moment we met her, and she made so much effort throughout the planning process to get to know us and to understand what we wanted from our ceremony. The script that Emma prepared for our wedding day was so carefully crafted and full of little personal details that she had picked up from our conversations along the way. Several of our family and friends said how special our ceremony was, and unlike anything they had heard before. It was just perfect – thank you, Emma xx

The Celebrant Who Turned 'I Do' Into 'We’ll Never Forget!'

We cannot thank Emma enough for making our wedding day so incredibly special! From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and immediately put us at ease.

Emma was so reassuring throughout the entire process, guiding us with her calming presence and truly listening to what we wanted. The ceremony she delivered was just what we wanted – a perfect balance of love, sincerity, and fun.

She captured the essence of our relationship perfectly, and so many of our guests commented on how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was. We are so pleased we used Emma as our celebrant and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to make their day unforgettable!
