About this supplier

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: July 2026

I am Arabella Wilde, also known as A Wilde Celebrant, and I'm an independent wedding celebrant based in Deal, Kent (although I'm more than happy to travel to wherever you might need me!). I am eloquent and creative, love to raise a smile and a laugh and can write a deeply heartfelt ceremony because I really do take the time to get to know my couples. Together we can create a really special ceremony that captures everything about your story, often including elements that will bring a laugh and a tear to the loved ones who are watching. I am dedicated and passionate about my work and want the day to be perfect for you.

Services Offered

I offer a full-service package. This will begin with a discovery call that I generally do as a video chat. This is the moment we first meet and gives you an opportunity to decide if I am the right person for you. There is no obligation with this call, I know how important it is to have a celebrant you feel a connection with, and you should speak with as many potential celebrants as you need. If you decide I am the right match for you, I'll send over a contract which I ask you to sign and return with a 30% deposit, this locks the date in for you. I will then make a date to meet you in person, this is a chance for us to get to know one another and to talk about your vision for the day, and for you to ask me any questions you might have. Approximately 6 months before the day, I will send you a couples questionnaire which will form the base of my script. Once you send them back to me I will begin writing and will send over the skeleton script as a starting point from us to work from. From this point on we can work together making any changes and adjustments, you might want to add someone to read or include a symbolic ritual - I am happy to make changes right up until two weeks before the ceremony. I am also available to help you if you'd like to write your own vows and if you'd like a rehearsal the week before, I can do that with you too (for an additional charge). I can also help with advice on music, readings and poems and we can discuss symbolic rituals. This is your day, so it's very important we get everything exactly as you want it.

Every wedding needs an Arabella

We absolutely adored Arabella. She is one of the warmest, most stylish and effortlessly classy people you could hope to have standing beside you on your wedding day.

From our very first meeting, she completely understood what we wanted to create. She listened carefully, asked all the right questions, and turned everything we told her into a ceremony that felt true to us.

She navigated the cultural diversity of our ceremony beautifully, with so much grace, humour and sensitivity. Nothing felt forced or overly sentimental. It was warm, funny, moving and incredibly personal, and she elevated the whole thing beyond what we’d imagined. So many of our guests sought us out afterwards specifically to tell us how brilliant she was and ask where we’d found her.

And beyond being brilliant at what she does, Arabella is just a genuinely great person with an incredible presence. She has that rare quality where you feel like you’re with an old friend almost as soon as you meet her. That warmth carries through everything she does, and it meant a huge amount to have someone like that at the heart of such an important day.

Choosing Arabella was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Arabella - a fantastic Celebrant - highly recommend!

We knew from the start that getting the right celebrant was absolutely pivotal in setting the tone for our wedding day. Arabella filled us with confidence from the first time we spoke and absolutely fulfilled our hopes for what a celebrant could be. We are so pleased that we chose to work with her. Arabella is warm, funny and open and on the day she had a steady confidence in the way she held not just us, as the nervous and excited couple, but the entire emotions of all our guests. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant Arabella was. In the flurry of the day, we didn’t see that Arabella had left us a box behind, which we discovered the next day. So even after the ceremony, she had gone above and beyond with special touches to help us remember and celebrate our ceremony. Arabella helped us create a ceremony that was totally unique and personal to us- we couldn’t recommend her highly enough and we’d really quite like to do it all again!

The PERFECT celebrant!

Arabella has an aura about her, and a real warmth that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. She has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable, and has a genuine interest in getting to know you. We had the pleasure of Arabella being our celebrant for our wedding day, and she set the tone perfectly for the day, delivering an immaculate ceremony which led to many of our guests commenting how brilliant Arabella was and asking how we found her! Truly a 10/10 experience and would recommend to absolutely anyone. Thank you again Arabella, and we hope to catch up with you again soon.

Truly an Exceptional Celebrant

Jan and I were absolutely thrilled to have Arabella as our celebrant for our wedding at Farthingloe Barn Kent last November. From the very first conversation, she brought such warmth, calm, and genuine joy to the entire process. She took the time to really get to know us, understand our story, and craft a ceremony that felt deeply personal, beautifully balanced, and full of heart.

On the day itself, Arabella was simply outstanding. She created an atmosphere that was both intimate and uplifting, guiding the ceremony with grace, humour, and a lovely sense of presence. So many of our guests commented on how unique and meaningful the ceremony felt — a true reflection of us as a couple, thanks to her thoughtful approach.

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, compassionate, and truly gifted at what she does, we couldn’t recommend Arabella more highly. She helped make our day unforgettable.

Beautiful presence for your special day- so worth it for story telling and setting the scene!

Myself and my Husband loved having Arabella as our celebrant for our wedding. She bought a fantastic energy to our ceremony and felt very committed to us both and our journey and love story. Having a celebrant made our wedding very personal and special and we highly recommend Arabella. We loved meeting up with her before hand as we were local, then it felt really special and just right to have her conduct something so important. We hope to see you at anyone else we know’s wedding one day haha! xx

Our wedding at Ripple Court

We’re so grateful we chose Arabella as our wedding celebrant. From our first conversation to the ceremony, she made everything easy and personal. Arabella listened closely to our story, offered thoughtful suggestions, and built a ceremony that balanced heart, humor, and meaning. Communication was clear and easy, and all the little details were handled smoothly. On the day, her presence was warm and reassuring, and the ceremony flowed beautifully. We received so many compliments from guests about how authentic and memorable it felt. We couldn’t recommend Arabella more highly.

Arabella - A Perfect Celebrant

Arabella (aka Auntie Arabella) - where do I even start!!!

From the first call we just knew instantly that she was going to be our celebrant. We had a few calls with other celebrants, but no one was Arabella! She has such a warm and loving energy which is so wonderful. She listens to everything in such detail and explained our love story better than we ever could. She was on hand with anything we needed throughout the entire process and never made us feel like we were bothering her.

Our ceremony was perfect. So many people have told us how personal and how ‘us’ it was. The wind was blowing (very aggressively) and although we couldn’t feel our hands, Arabella stayed professional, smiley and was brilliant throughout. She is also hilarious!

Don’t even think have a think about choosing Arabella as your celebrant - JUST DO IT! It will be the best decision you make for your special day.

I don’t have enough lovely words to describe Arabella. She was incredible from the moment we met, and we hold her so dear to our hearts that we will definitely be meeting for a coffee in the near future! She will never be getting rid of us!

Thank you Arabella

We couldn’t recommend Arabella highly enough. From our initial online meeting to get to know each other better, to our wedding ceremony, Arabella was wonderful. She put us both at ease instantly and really took the time to get to know us. She set the tone for our wedding day brilliantly and guests spoke so highly of her delivery at the ceremony.

Summer wedding in Kent

Arabella was the perfect celebrant for our special day. From when we first spoke to her about six months before the ceremony, we knew that she would create a personal service that would capture the feeling that we were looking for on the day, and the conversations and questionnaires we both filled in about each other really helped us with our own speeches. Arabella is charismatic and has presence, and is also able to go with the flow and improvise where necessary. Thanks so much Arabella for your contribution to our wedding - we would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a celebrant

Thank you Arabella!

Arabella is a really brilliant celebrant - from day one we felt totally safe in her capable hands. As two people who don’t love the limelight and wanted something more personal and intimate, she was the perfect option. Her confidence and kindness is really reassuring, and her thoughtful process ensures your celebration turns out to be a true reflection of who you are as a couple. Nothing was ever too much to ask (see: trusting our golden retriever to walk the rings down the aisle independently) and her organisation levels made the whole lead up a breeze. And of course, she led the blessing with total professionalism, care and charisma, which several of our guests commented on throughout our day. Thank you Arabella! xx

Just what we wanted!

Arabella created a bespoke ceremony that was exactly to my and my fiancée's (now wife's!) taste, with a perfect balance of tailoring to our requests and leading the way when we weren't sure what to do. It was personal and heartfelt, and we received so many positive comments from our guests about how authentic and emotional the ceremony was. This is a testament to Arabella's personal and dedicated approach, and taking the time to get to know us face-to-face, so we felt safe and relaxed in her hands on the big day to be truly ourselves. Thank you Arabella for being an integral part of what will be one of our most cherished memories together ❤️

The perfect celebrant in every way ♥️

I don’t know if we can ever fully articulate how incredible Arabella is. From our first call with her we both knew she was the perfect fit for us, but we had no idea how she would exceed our expectations in every aspect. Arabella is kind, warm, funny, clever, beautiful and completely devoted to her craft. She completely understood us as a couple and really put in such time, care and energy in getting to know us. The whole process was really enjoyable and fun - and where we needed any additional support she was only too happy to step in. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond, and my husband was saying how he instantly felt a wave of calm when he saw her as he knew he was in safe hands. She led the most beautiful ceremony with such grace, style and humour in all of the right places. Our guests each commented on how perfectly she had captured us as a couple, how cool she was, how engaging and just generally amazing. She perfectly described our love story, the exchanging of rings, hand fasting and a Nordic wine ceremony, and our vows - so quite a lot! It was so comforting having her up on the stage with us. Thank you Arabella, thank you.

An Unforgettable Day

Arabella loves people - the stories, the truths and all the things that make us who we are. She speaks to things that make us human and she has an amazing ability to make people feel seen; even at their most vulnerable so when my husband and I decided to get married, there was no question about who should officiate.

We weren’t just planning a wedding but a fashion show at Milan Fashion Week, merging two of our most important moments ever into one unforgettable event!
Arabella handled this with style, was completely cool and calm and put us at ease facilitating all our anxieties and ‘what ifs’! Officiating a wedding is no small feat, but doing so amid the chaos of Fashion Week during a show takes a gift which is so incredibly rare to find. Arabella connected it all so seamlessly, weaving together our intimate personal journeys - the dogs, the fashion and (with consent!) all the salacious details which our guests and audience loved. Her words were personal and deeply considered and filled with warmth and humour.

Arabella is warm and incredibly charismatic and brought things together in a way I never imagined possible - and I know that no matter what milestone or occasion, she will bring the same grace to make it a truly exceptional service.

A Wonderful Day with Arabella

My husband and I got married last year, with Arabella as our celebrant. She was very organized and well prepared for the day, taking extra effort to make us feel calm and ready. During her celebrant speech, Arabella was humorous and engaging with both of us and the audience. We felt seen, heard and known by Arabella! In addition to delivering a wonderful speech, she prepared thoughtful touches like beautiful vintage books to read her notes from. I highly recommend Arabella for your wedding day!!
