Hello thank you for taking a look at my profile. I am an award-winning Independent Celebrant based in Suffolk but my passport is up to date and I am more than happy to travel.
What does "Independent" mean? Well it is our license to have fun and the freedom to create a ceremony together that doesn't have to follow anyone else's rules or ideas of how your special day should be. Together we can create the ceremony you have always dreamed of or maybe one that you just didn't even realise you could have. You can hold your ceremony anytime, anyplace, anywhere, well maybe my skydiving days are over but do you get my point.
Which ever one of life's important milestones you are looking to celebrate I will be there to support you from the moment you book me.
Through emails, zooms and meet ups I will take the time to listen to you and get to know exactly what it is you want from your special ceremony. Through this fun process I gather enough information to write a draft script weaving the love you want to celebrate into every section. Once we have fine tuned it together, I will deliver your ceremony on the day in a calm, professional fun filled manner that you, your family and friends will remember and cherish for years to come.
In October last year I was honoured to be voted Outstanding Family and Couples Celebrant of 2022 by the Association of Independent Celebrants. I was completely blown away by this honour and the kind words of those who voted. My couples said that found me to be warm and caring with a good sense of humour. They considered me a safe pair of hands for their ceremonies, well I used to be a driving instructor so I have nerves of steel !!
It therefore goes without saying that my celebrant style really does reflect my inclusive personality. I really just love to celebrate love however it presents itself in your world. I understand how important your celebration is to you and how much love and work you have poured into it. I will be there for you and guide you through every step of the build up to your big day.
It would be my absolute privilege to be a part of your special day, My aim is to make every ceremony a #hellofabulousceremony. Let's have a chat.

Most perfect ceremony
This is my hardest review to give out of all of my wedding suppliers, as I really have so many wonderful things to say about Ruth and the service she gives.
From the very beginning she can’t not be more helpful and wholesome, I was initially drawn to Ruth’s buzzy magnetic energy, and really beautiful speaking voice and way with words (as previewed in her instagram) the additional help and support she delivered was such a pleasant surprise, and I think she offered the most additional support out of all of my suppliers. All of our friends and family have said that our ceremony was absolutely magical, one family member said Ruth was perfect as she like like and extension of me and my Husband. The unique touches she adds to a ceremony are top notch. I hold a very special place in my heart for this lady now and can not recommend her enough to any couple looking for a celebrant!!! Thankyou Ruth from the bottom of our hearts for conducting our whimsical woodland fairytale ceremony- you really were the cherry on the cake

Brilliant absolutely Brilliant!
If you are thinking of hiring a celebrant for your wedding, then look no further than Ruth.
Ruth will give you a really personalised and unhurried experience to remember for the rest of your lives.
From the moment of booking she is there to guide you and trust me, with her attention to detail, you will be leaving nothing to chance.
She will personally write your wedding script which isn’t genetic, it’s about you as a couple. She liaises with all suppliers involved in the ceremony to ensure everyone knows exactly what they are doing and when.
We told Ruth how we would like our service to run and she ensured that everyone worked together to deliver it and I have to say it was perfect!
Thank you Ruth, our day wouldn’t have been the same without you, you obviously love what you do and that shines through.
A day we will never forget 💜

Fantastic from the very first correspondence
If you are looking for a celebrant, look no further! Ruth is an absolute delight and we felt an instant connection with her and knew she would be absolutely perfect to help us plan our vow renewal ceremony. Nothing was ever too much trouble or a silly question and this lovely lady thinks of every aspect of your big day, things you wouldn't even have thought of. Right down to the font type and font size of your vow card! She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple to help make your ceremony as personal as it can be. All our guests said how wonderful the ceremony was and we're so glad we found her.

Hired a celebrant, gained a friend! Made our wedding day magical!
What can you say about Ruth that countless others haven’t? As well as being utterly professional in every way you could feel how passionate she was about making our day as magical as could be. Her personality is infectious and everyone at our wedding waxed lyrical about how amazing she was. From our very first meeting to our wedding she guided us every step of the way and created the perfect script for our ceremony, she honestly made our day so special. Thank you Ruth!

What can we say?! Ruth did the most incredible job with our day from being on hand to help at any given moment, to coordinating with the other vendors at the wedding to make sure the day went as smoothly as it could possibly be.
Our day wouldn't have been what it was without Ruth, and we're so thankful we found her!

Perfect Personalised Wedding
If you are looking for a personalised experience by someone whose attention to detail is faultless look no further than Ruth. We opted to have a celebrant because we wanted our day to be as special as possible and ruth exceeded our expectations. Ruth takes the time to understand what you are like as individuals as well as a couple to create a personalised wedding script which you will always have the final say on. Not only this but she is flexible enough to allow you to incorporate things that are outside the conventional ceremony. Whether its incorporating hand fastening to symbolise tying the knot, or perfectly timed dropping of metal washers symbolising the illusion of dropping the rings to give your best man a heart attack, Ruth will work with you to ensure every little detail is spot on. We can’t thank Ruth enough for helping to provide some of the most incredible memories which we will cherish forever.

The most wonderful celebrant!
We could not have asked for or imagined a better celebrant than Ruth to conduct our marriage ceremony. From our first meeting with her, she spent time getting to know us and was able to craft a wonderful script that captured our story and personalities perfectly. Ruth thought of all the details we wouldn't have - and was basically our overall wedding planner!! - and made sure that everyone who participated was prepped and comfortable before the day. On the day itself, she did a great job of making all our guests feel at ease and struck the perfect balance we were after of being light-hearted but taking this seriously too. We have had so many comments about how this was the best and most personal ceremony people have ever been to and this wouldn't have been the case without Ruth. We can't thank you enough and are truly grateful for all you did for us. Have a glass of sangria for us - you're not number 1 for nothing :D

Ruth is the celebrant of your dreams!!!
Choosing Ruth to be our celebrant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
She gave us the perfect day and helped us with planning the ceremony from the moment we had our first conversation. In fact a lot of the planning was whilst we were in Canada and she popped on zoom whenever we needed her as well as visiting the venue together. She is so dedicated and kind, working hard to give you an extra special ceremony and we honestly cannot reccomend her enough.
It was like having a very talented member of the family conduct our ceremony with such happiness, love, emotion and fun. Every single one of our guests said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and that they enjoyed every moment. Ruth not only worked with us to craft a beautiful script about our relationship and our lives, but also helped us to add extra details like a hand fasting moment, personalised vows and a poem read by Josh's mum.
She also helped us to feel relaxed about the ceremony and we felt so reassured that she would help solve any problems on the day. She has the sweetest heart and the most beautiful way with words. Ruth, we'll be thankful forever for all your kindness!

Ruth is magic!
Ruth is magic! A true gem of a person who made our wedding very special indeed. Right from the initial phone call we knew Ruth was our lady, with her energy, enthusiasm, understanding, and wish to meet our needs. She had great ideas, holding our hand every step of the way in thinking what we might like in the ceremony, and wrote a beautiful bespoke wedding ceremony script which was really personal to us, but also was really engaging with all the guests. We had many comments afterwards from people saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to, and as a couple in our late 40's, our friends and us have been to many. Thank you Ruth for making it so special!

Do not plan your wedding ceremony without ruth!
Choosing Ruth to be our celebrant at our wedding 3 weeks ago was the best decision we ever made! She is simply the best! Planning our wedding from the states wasn’t easy but she made the process seamless! After countless FaceTime calls we finally met in person less than a week before the wedding and she immediately felt like family! She personalized our wedding ceremony beautifully with so many special moments that my husband and I will remember forever. Her words and her presence are truly magical! We will be forever grateful to have met such a beautiful person!

Thank You Ruth!
Words cannot describe how amazing Ruth is and how thankful we are for being such a massive part of our day. From the moment we met her we knew she would make our day the most special and memorable experience. She has so much love, care and attention to detail that we felt completely relaxed and excited for everyone to witness our personal ceremony. Her ability to entwine both our lives, families and love into words was beautiful. All our guests loved the uniqueness and fun that came with a personalised ceremony and Ruth’s energy on the day (despite the heat!) was contagious! We could not have asked for anyone better, she is the best and we would encourage everyone to snap her up whilst you can! We will treasure her words and memories of our day forever. Thank you so much Ruth for making our day far more beautiful than we ever imagined. Love the Wests xx

The most wonderful experience with Ruth, our celebrant
An enormous thank you, Ruth, for making our Wedding Day so very special as our celebrant. From the moment we met you at Martels, flying off on your broomstick, we knew that we had met a very special lady. The time you spent getting to know us was invaluable and your humour and passion for making our day unique was overwhelming. Your ability to make us feel relaxed throughout, from our first meet up through to the day itself, was such a support, which every couple on their Wedding Day would wish for.
We knew already how you would make our day wonderful and this was confirmed by all our friends and family commenting that “they’d never experienced a wedding service quite so extraordinary”; with not a dry eye in the gardens of Leez Priory!

Vow renewal
Found Ruth by looking at her wonderful website. She is truly amazing. We found her so easy to work with & she was happy to deal with our quirky requests. The ceremony was fantastic & we could not have wanted more from her. All our guests were delighted by her & many thought we had been friends for a number of years. She made us all relax and conducted a wonderful ceremony with audience participation. We could not have asked for more. We would love to use her again if we had a chance
