Creating and delivering Wedding Ceremonies across Essex, London and Beyond...

Hi, I'm Anna, and I LOVE a wedding!! Big weddings, intimate weddings, destination weddings. You name the date and I'll be there!​

You're not just seeking a Celebrant. You're looking for a natural storyteller who will reflect your love in every word and then deliver a ceremony that is intimate, unforgettable, and feels truly yours.​​

​My style? A traditional 'I Do' but told in a modern and relaxed way, filled with the warmth and familiarity of your own words and anecdotes.

With my ceremonies, there is no formula, there are no rules...just you and your unique love story.

Why Book Anna?

All love deserves to be celebrated, and I am passionate about crafting ceremonies that reflect the individuality of every couple I meet.

Every great love story needs a narrator. As a classically trained Actress, Celebrant and award-winning Voiceover Artist, I bring a unique blend of skills to stand before your family and friends and share your journey. Storytelling is at the heart of what I do, and my ability to capture and convey emotion is what truly sets me apart from other Celebrants and Registrars.

But I'm not just a speaker, I listen too! I can't wait to hear your unique love story and shape it into a ceremony that screams 'YOU.' I will work with you both to ensure that every detail of your wedding ceremony is tailored and delivered to perfection.

But enough about me! From the moment we meet, it's all about YOU.

I look forward to meeting you both and learning more about your vision for your dream ceremony.
