Cannot thank you enough!

Kay was absolutely brilliant on the lead up to and during our day and we couldn't recommend her enough. she was incredible with our toddler and even though he decided to not leave our side during the ceremony she rolled with it and kept us from stressing! Kay really took the time to get to know us and her delivery of our story was perfect, she got us completely. Thank you so much for being our Celebrant ❤️ Freya and Ryan x

Fantastic celebrant, recommended

So happy we asked Kay to conduct our wedding. She worked with us to understand our story and get our ceremony exactly as we wanted it, and was really patient with our amendments! On the day, she did a great job, not just conducting the ceremony but making our guests feel welcome, and making it really special. We'd definitely recommend Kay to anyone.

Wonderful celebrant - recommend to anyone!

Kay was our wedding celebrant, she was unbelievable and we are so glad we chose her. She really "got" what we wanted for our ceremony and we loved working with her on it. We had so much fun spending time with Kay in the run up to the wedding and telling her our story. On the day, the ceremony was perfect - so many of our guests told us it was their favourite part of the day, it felt so personal and Kay was just wonderful! Hope to keep in touch with her and would recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic Ceremony from Kay

Kay is a warm and friendly person who took the time to get to know us and make our ceremony our own. We wanted an informal and fun vibe for our ceremony which she delivered brilliantly, and throughout the process she always communicated to us exactly what she would be providing during the ceremony. Kay also is well known and well liked at the venue we chose (The Mount Without), which made the process run very smoothly.

She also gave us a wealth of tips throughout the process on planning our wedding in general, which was invaluable.

We would absolutely recommend Kay to any couple looking to have a ceremony which is both light-hearted and meaningful.

Exactly what we had hoped for!

Kay was fantastic. We were recommended Kay and met at a café to get to know each other. We instantly knew that we wanted Kay to lead our ceremony and we are so pleased that we made this decision.

In the build up to the wedding, Kay met with us again and really took the time to get to know us and our story. We went through the plans for the day and the atmosphere that we wanted and Kay was really helpful and supportive in making this happen.

Kay was really proactive in checking that her words and delivery were what we were after and it meant that we were completely relaxed and calm in the build up to the wedding. Kay was also happy to make suggestions and was not put out if we went in a different direction for some things. However, Kay was right in suggesting a singalong for everyone and that part of the ceremony was one of the most memorable parts of our day.

On the day itself, Kay was brilliant. Super relaxed and calm which rubbed off on everyone else. Kay went over the plan with me one more time to check I was confident and prepared for Symone's arrival.

The delivery of the ceremony was perfect. It was a wonderful mix of humour and a subtle nod to tradition, without it being overly "lovey dovey" which is what we had spoken about. Kay included some lovely personal touches, linking Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, with several comments about football, food and drink which are some of our favourite hobbies. Kay was able to tell our story and all of the feedback we have had from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive.

We have no regrets at all and are delighted we went with Kay for our wedding. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Perfect tailored ceremony

Fantastic experience with Kay Hamilton as our celebrant. Very professional, but also really pays attention to give you the heartfelt ceremony you really want! Kay really got to know us and crafted our story really well. On the day she delivered so well, so much that the guests remarked she was wonderful.

Would highly recommend for her for a very well tailored ceremony, just the way you want it.

Kay was fantastic and warm-hearted :)

Kay took the time to get to know us as a couple, and delivered such a lovely ceremony. We received a first draft to review and barely made any changes! It was lovely to read through and even though we knew the ceremony on the day, the delivery made it so much more special.
She managed to grasp our sense of humour but also kept it sweet in moments that mattered.
So many of our guests complimented the ceremony and said the words described our journey and future really well :)
Thank you for the lovely words at our wedding! :))

Kay Hamilton was nothing short of INCREDIBLE!!!!

We were originally meant to be getting married in June 2026, but due to family circumstances Kay quite literally moved mountains to ensure my mum could see us get married in December. Her compassion, flexibility, and genuine care during what was an emotional time for us will never be forgotten.

Kay spent real time getting to know me and my partner. She truly wanted to understand who we are as individuals and as a couple, and it showed so clearly in the ceremony. She captured us perfectly. She was hilarious, warm, and engaging, had everyone involved, and created an atmosphere that was relaxed, joyful, and full of love. Her words and recommendations were just beautiful.

Kay was an absolute asset to our day, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. We feel so lucky to have had her be such a meaningful part of our journey and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you for everything Kay - you truly are one in a million. x

Kay helped to create our perfect day

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kay was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony personal and meaningful. She guided us through every step, sending us drafts to review and edit so the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Kay was always available by email or phone to answer any questions, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. The ceremony she delivered perfectly reflected who we are as a couple, and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful and heartfelt it was. We’re incredibly grateful and would recommend Kay to any couple without hesitation.

Best celebrant ever!

Kay was our celebrant for our special day and she was absolutely incredible. We were first drawn to Kay because of her background in nursing, and from the moment we met her, we instantly clicked and knew we wanted her to deliver our day. She spent so much time getting to know us, making the whole process feel so personalised and each time we caught up, we felt like we got to know her and it felt as though she’d become part of our family. Kay guided us through the process with such ease and reassurance as we were very clueless, but she kept us organised and calm. She was an absolute joy to work with and we’re so grateful for all the care, attention and humour she put into making our ceremony so perfect. Kay told our story so beautifully with just the right amount of humour, setting the tone for the day perfectly. We had so many guests comment that it was the best ceremony they’ve been to. Five stars simply doesn’t feel like enough - we really can’t thank Kay enough for making our day so special and would HIGHLY recommend!

One of the best parts of our day!

Our experience with Kay was exceptional from start to finish. She was personable, funny, and incredibly well-spoken. She guided us through the entire process with ease and delivered a ceremony that was tailored to us specifically; written and delivered beautifully. Many of our friends and family noted it was one of the best parts of the day. Would deeply recommend.

Our Perfect Ceremony

The ceremony was a little different from what we’d anticipated (with our children taking such a central role!) but it turned out absolutely perfect for us and our family. This was because Kay was able to react to the unexpected and adapt to make everything work.

It wouldn’t have been so special without Kay! Her warmth, adaptability, and the way she made everyone feel so comfortable truly made the day unforgettable. Kay is amazing!
