Reviews for Ceremonies by Ruth
**simply the best**
Nothing was ever too much trouble, Ruth was always on hand for a quick text or call. Her guidance and support went way above and beyond our expectations…..
We think Ruth would agree that we had the most unique and unbelievable wedding day in so many different ways and yet still, so many of our guests have still singled out Ruth’s ceremony as being one of the highlights of the day describing her amongst other things as warm, friendly, funny and cool.
We’re quite sure that you won’t find anyone better to act as celebrant on your big day!!!
Thank you Ruth (and David) from the bottom of our hearts, we miss you already and not only are we certain we couldn’t of picked anyone better but we hope we’ve also picked up lifelong friends along the way!!
Love Rob & Janine 😊❤️❤️

Amazing day
Ruth made our wedding so special for us in everyway and we can not thank her enough.
The best celebrant!
Ruth made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Every detail in the script reflected who we are, our story and what mattered most to us. She checked in regularly in the lead-up to the big day and made sure we were happy with every part of the script. There was never any pressure to include things we didn’t want. Ruth made sure the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted.
The pre-wedding meet-up at the venue with Ruth was so helpful. She walked us through everything, answered every question and made sure we both entirely happy with the arrangements for our day.
On our wedding day, Ruth arrived in plenty of time and immediately got everything organised. She made sure all the little details were in place, spoke with our suppliers, groomsmen and the bridal party to ensure everyone knew what to do. The ceremony she delivered was heartfelt, seamless and truly unforgettable. So many of our guests commented on how personal and special it felt. It was exactly what we wanted.
Ruth is a wonderful lady and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. She made our vision of our wedding ceremony come true and we will always be grateful for the part she played in making our wedding day so perfect. Thank you Ruth!

Hire Ruth for a stress free ceremony
The best celebrant in the UK!
Keeley & Tony Salisbury
On the day of the wedding herself and Ruth’s husband David (The unsung hero of the day) made us both feel at ease and we knew the day was going to be beautiful. David took the time to help all the grooms men get ready and offered last minute of advice to us all, was made us feel ready. He’s also just a great person to be around.
Once the ceremony was ready to start Ruth made sure, we both knew what we were doing, where to be and made sure we were ready before anything happened. Once she started the ceremony, she ensured the guest were engaged, laughing, confutable and that our script was personal to us. Which everyone loved and commented on how great she was!
We’re both pleased that Ruth done our ceremony and helped made our day perfect. We would recommend Ruth to anyone.
Incredible
Wonderful Ruth
Tarsha & Ian's Wedding 29.8.2025
but so much more than that Ruth kept in contact with us all the way through the planning with video chats and then the run through at Downhall just before our day.
On the Day of our Wedding Ruth looked stunning as she always does, her smile and friendliness has a way of resonating calm in people and her professionalism was key to a very smooth running Ceremony. Helen our lovely Photographer captured some of my favourite photos of Ruth which I will always treasure,
We had so many Guests Commenting on how they absolutely loved the fun and yet very touching words that Ruth spoke using the information she gathered from us about missing loved ones and our story bringing tears of remembrance and laughter throughout the ceremony.
Ruth conducted her part so passionately and captivated everyone in the room, some said it was the best wedding they've ever attended.
We still get people talking about the day and Ruth is in my Phone as Ruth ( Jane Fonda) but more than that a friend who made our day something we will never forget.
We love you Ruth and Thank you so much for being there for us...Tarsha & Ian Johnson 💜

What a fabulous celebrant !!
She is the celebrant you want!
Such an amazing Celebrant!
✨ Celebrant Extraordinaire ✨
Ruth is energetic, endlessly generous with her time and efforts, and her aura is completely infectious. She truly loves love, and it shines through in everything she does. She took every little detail of our story and crafted the most beautiful script, one that felt like it could only have been written for us.
One of the things we loved most was how she included so many members of our family and wedding party in the ceremony. Ruth made everyone feel like they had their part to play, and it was just wonderful to see how involved and connected everyone felt.
I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first about having both a registry ceremony and a wedding ceremony – but Ruth explained it so perfectly. She helped me see the registry as simply a legal formality, freeing us up to make our wedding the heartfelt celebration we dreamed of. I was sold immediately (and I think my new husband was quite relieved too!).
We can’t thank or recommend Ruth enough – we’ll truly miss our catch-ups with her. And we have to give a very special mention to her husband, David. He brought so much joy on the day, capturing wonderful behind-the-scenes moments, and instantly putting me at ease while I waited for my entrance. It’s clear why they make such a brilliant team – they’re just super cute together!
Ruth, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did on the day and all the thoughtful advice in the lead-up. Any couple would be missing out if they didn’t book you – you are simply wonderful. 💕
The perfect addition to our day 🩷
Perfect wedding ceremony
Ruth organised everything from start to finish and thought of lots of little things to include. She made us feel at ease, and everyone commented on how personal and beautiful the whole thing was.
We both felt calm and relaxed, everything was perfect!
