Lucie, is a Level 3 qualified, insured, celebrant, and founder of Celebrant Southwest.

She creates modern, meaningful ceremonies that feel personal, relaxed, and fully inclusive.

With a gift for storytelling and a naturally calming presence, she helps couples feel completely at ease from the very first chat.

Every ceremony is crafted around the couple’s personality, values, and sense of humour, resulting in a moment that feels authentic, joyful, and truly memorable.

Lucie is dedicated to making your ceremony the most heartfelt and enjoyable part of the day, not a time for having a nap!

If you’d like a no‑obligation chat to explore ideas and see if Lucie is the right fit, she'd love to hear from you!

The Process

Once your date is secured with the contract and deposit, the real magic begins. Here’s how the journey unfolds:

You’ll receive a beautifully simple questionnaire designed to help Lucie understand your story, your personalities, and the little details that make your relationship yours. It’s not homework — it’s more like a cosy trip down memory lane!

She’ll arrange a friendly, no‑pressure chat, either in person or via videochat, where you'll talk through your vision, your vibe, and any ideas you already have. This is where she get a feel for what matters most to you — the tone, the energy, the must‑haves, and the absolutely‑nots. Here she will start to put the foundations into place, important people, choreography and timeline for your ceremony.

Using everything you’ve shared, Lucie will begin crafting your ceremony from scratch. No templates, no recycled scripts. Just a warm, personal, joy‑filled ceremony that sounds like you. You’ll get a draft to review and you will meet again or videochat, have a script reading, you can tweak, laugh over, and add or take away, as much as you like.

Got a question? A new idea? A last‑minute wobble? she's there. You can message her anytime throughout the planning process.

On the big day Lucie arrives early, she checks in with your suppliers, especially any photographers and videographers (they will recieve an order of ceremony so that they are aware of timings, to ensure they get the best shots!)

She will settle your wedding party, and make sure the ceremony space feels calm and ready. Then, when you are ready, no rush...take your time... she will lead your ceremony with warmth, humour, and heart — creating a moment that feels natural, personal, and completely relaxed.

After the wedding, you’ll receive a keepsake version of your ceremony script and vows to treasure, reread, and smile over for years to come.
