Last update: January 2026

I’m Sue Burton, an award-winning Celebrant & Wedding Stylist, passionate about creating beautifully crafted, unique wedding ceremonies across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as well as further afield.

Your wedding day is such an exciting time and I’m dedicated to making the journey even more special. I focus exclusively on ONE wedding per day, allowing me to create a calm, personal atmosphere with no rush or time pressure. I’ll be waiting at the aisle until you’re ready to go, and I won’t be in a hurry to dash away to another ceremony. I’m available to support you at any time, including any last-minute queries up to and including your wedding day.

Every couple also benefits from a rehearsal at their venue, providing a chance to familiarise themselves with the ceremony flow, positioning, and even photo-perfect moments with personal styling tips - including how to master the iconic “dip kiss” pose and even a few steps to help with your first wedding dance! I don’t just deliver your ceremony, I’m also a wedding stylist, so I’ll ensure you not only look good but feel completely relaxed and truly enjoy your special day.

As both a Celebrant and Wedding Stylist, I guide couples through the entire process to ensure they not only look and feel amazing but are relaxed and able to enjoy every moment. With a wealth of unique ideas, I craft extraordinary ceremonies that are truly one-of-a-kind. Each ceremony is thoughtfully designed to reflect the couple’s individual love story, with my full commitment and attention to detail poured into every event.

As a former Registrar with over 15 years of experience, I also provide expert advice on the legalities of marriage, helping couples navigate both the practical and ceremonial elements with confidence. This unique blend of legal expertise and creative freedom ensures a ceremony that is both meaningful and memorable.

What sets me apart is the relationship I build with each couple well in advance of the ceremony, offering a level of personal connection and reassurance not typically provided in Registrar-led ceremonies. With me, couples know exactly who will be delivering their ceremony and guiding them through one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Having delivered hundreds of weddings - including multi-cultural ceremonies - I bring valuable insight into choosing the perfect location. I’m happy to advise on venue pros and cons and am based within easy reach of Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire.

With a genuine passion for weddings and a love for being part of a couple’s special day, I bring heart and creativity to every ceremony through Celebrant Style. I believe every wedding should begin with a perfect, unique ceremony, and I’m dedicated to helping couples create beautiful, lasting memories.

Celebrate the Celebrant!

We cannot thank Sue enough for the incredible job she did as our celebrant for our wedding on the 31st of July. My wife and I had planned every single detail of our day ourselves...except for the ceremony. And honestly, we didn’t need to worry for a second, because from before the very beginning to well after the end, even checking in a few days after our wedding, Sue had everything covered with such care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism.

She supported us every step of the way, making us feel completely comfortable and prepared. A few days before the wedding, she met with us for a rehearsal and absolutely blew us away with the beautiful, heartfelt story she had prepared about our relationship. It was clear that she had taken the time to truly understand us as a couple.

Sue went above and beyond, sharing insider tips, helping us with how to stand, where to look, how to hold hands so the photographers could capture the best moments, even how to do our dip! Every detail was considered, which gave us so much confidence going into the day.

The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for. It ran seamlessly—apart from me getting emotional and struggling to get through my vows! But even then, Sue had prepared me for that possibility, and thanks to her, I made it through.

Sue brought a sense of calm, warmth, and genuine care that helped make our ceremony unforgettable. If you're looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond and truly gets what your wedding day means to the pair of you, just book her now, exceptional service.

Thank you, Sue, from the bottom of our hearts.

Cannot recommend Sue highly enough!

We cannot recommend Sue highly enough. She was professional, kind, informative, reassuring, and made our day so special and unique.
With a few bullet points about our life together so far she created a beautiful love story that she shared with our friends and family during the ceremony along with delivering a beautifully unique love lock ceremony (bespoke to Sue and her ceremonies). Sue also gave key advice for during our ceremony to help keep us relaxed and make sure our photos could be captured perfectly (even down to hand positioning!). As a celebrant rather than registrar, we were not restricted on time, stressed by paperwork, or bound to formalities that didn’t fit our personalities and how we wanted our day to look and feel, it was truly personalised and to top it off, Sue looked fabulous, ensuring everyone in our ceremony photos and videos looked like a part of our wedding… she really does consider every last detail. Thank you Sue, we’ll be forever grateful for your part in our special day!

Absolutely fantastic!

We knew we were in good hands from the start with Sues advice and knowledge as a couple who were clueless.
The amount of care and thoughtfulness Sue puts into creating the most personal and unique ceremony is unmatched.
Our family and friends who joined us to celebrate commented on how kind and reassuring Sue was with the Groom. How relaxed and warm the atmosphere was.
Sue created our ceremony to perfection. As a couple we couldn’t ask for more, Sue goes above and beyond for her couples.

Absolute perfection!

From the moment we began planning our wedding, we initially opted for the traditional approach of booking a registrar to conduct our ceremony.

However, during a visit to a local wedding fayre, we had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Sue. She introduced us to a world of possibilities for creating a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. We were captivated by the idea of her retelling our unique love story as part of the ceremony — even before discovering the beautiful concept of the Love Locks. The symbolism of two heart-shaped locks physically joined together perfectly represented the love and unity at the heart of our marriage.

From our first meeting, Sue immediately put us at ease. She arranged Zoom consultations to answer all our questions and met with us a few days before the wedding for a rehearsal. This thoughtful preparation gave us a clear picture of how everything would unfold, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the day itself. She even shared her expert tips for perfecting the iconic “dip kiss” — something we would never have mastered without her guidance!

When the big day arrived, everything ran seamlessly. Sue’s calm and reassuring presence set the tone for a truly unforgettable ceremony. Our family and friends were moved by the heartfelt story she shared, with both laughter and tears as we exchanged our vows and celebrated the start of our married life together.

Choosing Sue means choosing pure happiness; her expertise and calming nature is the perfect combination for the perfect ceremony and, most importantly, a perfect wedding day!

Phenomenal Celebrant, Made our Ceremony Perfect!

Sue was recommended to us by our wonderful wedding photographer Martin, and we’re so glad that we followed his advice, as Sue was absolutely amazing and instrumental in helping make our ceremony and celebration so special and everything that we’d hoped for. Even just a few minutes into our first meeting with Sue to talk about our wedding plans, we felt calmed and reassured amongst the stresses of wedding organising, and like Sue was really taking the time to understand us and our story. She was brilliant at keeping us updated with her progress in crafting a beautiful and completely personalised ceremony and blessing for the two of us, and when the day of the wedding came, all her hard work and expertise was clear for all to see and hear. The ceremony was perfect, poignant, and relaxed, and with all the traditions from both our families and cultures effortlessly woven in thanks to Sue’s expertise and professional.
We were so incredibly lucky that our entire day was perfect and everything that we’d dreamed it would be, and Sue was an instrumental part of that. On top of her being a fantastic celebrant, she is a wonderful person, and we can’t thank her enough for her kindness, support, and reassurance during the run-up to our wedding. We would completely recommend Sue as a celebrant for others’ weddings, we can’t speak highly enough of her!

We couldn’t have wished for a better ceremony — Sue literally brought the sunshine! ☀️☀️☀️☀️

From booking to the big day, she was incredible. Neither of us had been married before, but we’ve been to plenty of weddings — and no one conducts a ceremony like Sue. Personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

She guided us through all the legal bits, checked in regularly, and was always just a phone call away. The rehearsal helped calm our nerves, and she gave us so many helpful tips — even for our first dance!

Guests couldn’t stop talking about how personal the vows and our story were. It meant the world to us.

Sue, you’re the BEST. ❤️ If you’re getting married, we highly recommend her. So many beautiful touches throughout — we’ll never forget it.

Perfectly Personalised

We cannot recommend Sue highly enough! From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. She took the time to truly get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal, heartfelt, and uniquely *us*.

One of the things we appreciated most was how Sue guided us every step of the way. She shared so many helpful tips and tricks that made the lead-up to the day (and the ceremony itself!) run smoothly. She even taught us how to do the perfect dip kiss for our big moment.

The ceremony was beautifully delivered with warmth, clarity, and just the right balance of emotion and celebration. We had so many guests tell us it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve ever attended — meaningful, joyful, and full of love.

If you're looking for someone who is professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about making your day special, look no further than Sue, she was an absolute dream to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding day so memorable.

Thank you again, Sue, for everything!

First class! ⭐️

If you are looking for a wedding celebrant then look no further!
Sue Burton has been amazing from start to finish. Straight away she explained how unique and different her ceremonies are compared to the standard ceremony with a registrar. She helped and explained the process when it came to booking our notice and legal ceremony, supporting and keeping in touch throughout.
We then had a fantastic wedding rehearsal taking us through each step and finally she delivered the most perfect and heartfelt speech on our wedding day, adding just the right amount of humour along the way 😁
Simply incredible, and we were so glad we booked her and not a registrar… especially because I was about 15 minutes late too 🥴.

Highly recommended!

We just want to take a moment to thank Sue Burton for the heartfelt words during our ceremony. We really felt that she cared about making our day special.
Our family was deeply touched by her nice words too… We couldn’t have done it without her!
Thanks so much. We’re grateful for you Sue! 🩷

A ceremony that felt just like us - thank you Sue x

Working with Sue was one of the most reassuring parts of our entire wedding. She’s calm, clear, and incredibly thoughtful in everything she does. From the start, she made the process feel personal, getting to know us properly so she could tell our story in a way that felt real and true to who we are. What she delivered on the day was more than just a ceremony, it genuinely connected with everyone in the room.

The private rehearsal Sue led for just the two of us was one of the most helpful parts of the lead-up. It gave us space to run through everything quietly and calmly, just the three of us, which made the day itself feel far less overwhelming. Her grounded presence helped us settle in and focus on what really mattered.

On the wedding day, she quietly supported us through each moment - especially in the way she looked after Josh before I arrived. That kindness didn’t go unnoticed. And the sixpence she gifted me before the ceremony was such a thoughtful touch; simple, meaningful, and totally unexpected.

If you’re deciding between a traditional civil ceremony and a celebrant-led one, I can’t recommend going with a celebrant highly enough. The flexibility, the personal touches, the feeling that it’s truly your story being told. It was everything we hoped for. And Sue was the reason it all came together so naturally.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant.
Thank you Sue, you’re amazing! ❤️
Love from, Kate & Josh xx

Amazing experience and would recommend to anyone

Sue has been amazing throughout the journey. Reminding you what you need to do at each stage, rehearsing the day and reminding you on the day if there’s something you forget.
The ceremony was so personal rather than just a basic one. Sue really is like a real life fairy god mother, and we couldn’t have wished for anyone better to do our ceremony.
I would honestly recommend to so many people and make them aware of a celebrant. Thank you once again for being part of our special day, it was an hour to have you there

The Smith Wedding 04.05.2025 ❤️

After being fortunate enough to attend a wedding where Sue was carrying out the ceremony, we knew when it came ours the decision was easy. Sue was absolutely fantastic, regularly checking in, keeping us posted and on the other end of the phone when we needed a chat or any unanswered questions. With Sues expertise, knowledge and years of experience, she made sure our wedding ceremony was filled with fun, love and laughter throughout. We would highly recommend if you are in search of a professional and reliable Celebrant. Thank you for everything, The Smiths 04.05.25 🫶🏻

Wedding service 6.5.25

Myself and Harry were lucky enough to have Sue conduct our wedding ceremony. We had such a beautiful service and you can certainly tell she loves her work. She put Harry at ease just prior to the ceremony and directed us through effortlessly! We had complaints all day on what a brilliant job she did.

The most personal, memorable and beautiful ceremony!

We absolutely loved our wedding ceremony with Sue, she created us such a personal, memorable and beautiful ceremony, crafted from stories we shared with her. We loved every second of our ceremony and our loved ones did too, Sue made us all comfortable and brought just the right energy to our wedding. Sue helped us prepare for the ceremony with question prompts so we could share our story, with a couple of video calls and a rehearsal too. Her passion for creating beautiful ceremonies is wonderful and the thought she puts into small details is really meaningful. We’re so pleased with how Sue married us and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way, so thank you Sue for the most perfect experience, we’re forever grateful

Meet the team

Sue Burton
Sue Burton
Celebrant & Wedding Stylist

Weddings really are my passion! I’ve always been drawn to creativity and storytelling.

My career began as a personal stylist and image consultant, where I built a successful consultancy business working closely with clients on personal styling, wedding attire, and thoughtfully curated bridal colour palettes. Weddings were a natural part of that journey, so when the opportunity to become a Registrar arose, it felt like a natural next step - allowing me to remain immersed in the wedding world while embracing a new professional challenge.

With 15 years working as a Registrar, the limitations of registrar-led ceremonies became increasingly clear. Each day involved officiating multiple weddings, often without meeting couples until moments before the ceremony. The structure was fixed, the wording prescribed, and there was little space for creativity or individuality. I felt couples truly deserved something totally unique.

Everything shifted when my two professional worlds began to merge. I found myself officiating weddings for some of my own styling clients, and suddenly it all clicked. I realised the ceremony — the very heart of the wedding day — was being overlooked, and I felt a strong desire to change that.

Becoming an independent celebrant allowed me to combine all my skills. With a background in writing stories and fashion editorials for magazines, I now craft ceremonies that weave each couple’s love story into something authentic, emotional, and completely unique. No two ceremonies are ever the same.

Creativity sits at the heart of everything I do. From unique symbolic elements to the flow and tone of the ceremony, every detail is intentional and thoughtfully tailored. My background as a personal stylist deeply influences the way I design and deliver ceremonies. Couples often tell me how reassuring it feels to be guided not just through the words, but with personal styling too.

As both a Celebrant and Wedding Stylist, my role extends beyond the ceremony itself. I love helping couples feel composed and confident — whether that’s guiding through posture, positioning, or movement during key moments, mastering the iconic dip-kiss, or even teaching a few simple steps for the first wedding dance (a little nod to my experience as a dancer!). These details bring a polished flow to the day that couples truly appreciate.

As the celebrant standing at the top of the aisle, I’m present in some of your most cherished photographs. I take great care in choosing what I wear, always considering the venue, season, colour palette, and overall aesthetic of the day. Whether your wedding is relaxed or formal, modern or traditional, I’m always happy to dress in harmony with your vision.

What I love most about being a celebrant is the honour of being invited into such deeply meaningful moments. Standing alongside couples as they declare their love and commitment — often in the most beautiful, intimate locations — never loses its magic. That moment sets the tone for the entire celebration, filling the day with warmth, emotion, and connection.

The joy, the happy tears, the shared glances — they stay with me long after the ceremony ends.

To help create memories that will be carried forward for years is not just rewarding; it’s a privilege I never take for granted.

Choosing the right Celebrant is all about connection and I'm more than happy to offer a relaxed, no pressure chat – in person or over Zoom – so you can really get to know me before reaching a decision. No obligations, just a friendly conversation. Or come along and meet me in person at a wedding showcase. Forthcoming events: see dates & venues listed in EVENTS
