Last update: July 2025

Hi Darlings, I'm Cat. I'm a UK-wide, Independent, Queer, Qualified Celebrant specialising in LGBTQ+ Ceremonies.

I have over 15 years of experience in creating unforgettable moments, show-stopper events - and making sure people feel truly seen.

You're pouring your heart (and budget) into your wedding - so why risk the ceremony being boring, basic, or over in 15 minutes? The ceremony is why everyone shows up. It's the reason you're all there - to witness your love, your story, your big moment. So, let's make it magic.

I'm known for my warmth, humour, and the kind of energy that helps people feel instantly at ease. I work with couples to strike that perfect balance between being romantic and heartfelt - without getting the ick.

Before becoming a celebrant, I spent 15 years in equity, diversity and inclusion - working everywhere from grassroots ballrooms to global corporate boardrooms, and I bring that wealth of culture, knowledge and respect into every ceremony I perform.

Every ceremony I create is completely bespoke. From the aisle music to your final smooch, I actively champion inclusivity in every ceremony, ensuring that the language, rituals, and traditions reflect you. That means:

  • Respecting access needs
  • Embracing diverse family structures (chosen, blended, or beautifully complicated)
  • Creating moments that honour your values, cultures, and story

Here's My Bare Minimum:

Outstanding, show-stopper ceremonies and scripts that feel like you (but with better jokes)

One-to-one support right up to the big day—yes, I'm basically your ceremony PA

Rituals and symbolic elements that actually mean something

Vow-writing help that won't make you cringe (and yes, I bring printed copies like a pro)

A full run-through so you're smooth, stress-free, and know exactly when to smooch

Neuro-spicy, pet, and last-minute friendly

You have a million questions, I have a million answers.

I can't wait to chat with you!

Hi, I'm Cat.

I've been curating events and bringing people together for unforgettable moments since I was 10 - starting with a sell-out Spice Girls concert in my back garden (yes, I sold tickets to my neighbours, and charged them for squash).

The truth is, I was never destined for a standard 9 - 5. I'm far too fab and spicy for office life. I thrive in dynamic, people-powered environments where creativity takes centre stage.

Over the years, I’ve built an incredible network of talented, passionate professionals across all kinds of sectors. It was those very people who nudged (ok, lovingly shoved) me toward starting my own company - so that my work could fully reflect who I am, what I care about, and how I show up in the world.

I’m super professional, super personable, and I know exactly how to hold a room while keeping things warm, joyful, and with the kind of energy that makes everyone feel seen.
