Worlds best celebrant!

The service Debbie offers is second to none. From our first conversation with Debbie we knew we wanted her to be our celebrant.

She clearly explained the packages on offer and worked with us to craft the perfect speech. All our guests loved every word, and Laura and I couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Thank you Debbie!

You won't find a better Celebrant!

From our very first conversation, Debbie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive, professional, warm and always has a smile and a great sense of humour which immediately put us at ease.

She spent so much time getting to know us, really listening to our story and what we wanted from our ceremony. She created a beautifully personal script, suggested some wonderful ideas we hadn't even considered and captured us perfectly.

On the day, Debbie delivered the most incredible ceremony. Despite having 100 guests, she made it feel intimate, relaxed and genuinely personal. So many of our family and friends commented afterwards on how beautiful, funny and heartfelt the service was. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect celebrant and are so grateful she was such a special part of our wedding.

10/10 would choose again

We're so glad that we chose Debbie as the celebrant for our wedding this year. The ceremony was perfect and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone for their wedding.

Both of our families even specifically mentioned to us that the Debbie was perfect for it and really made the ceremony, so it's happy all round!

Debbie is so warm, friendly and kind, with a great sense of humour. She was able perfectly create the tone for our ceremony that we wanted, with a balance of sincerity, tradition and a few humorous moments.

You can tell that Debbie has so much experience doing this, and made everyone feel at ease, in the lead up to the wedding and throughout the ceremony. Very professional.

We filled out the questionnaire for Debbie, then met up for a coffee to discuss ideas, where she came with some great options for rituals, traditions and humorous moments to pick and choose from. We were able to collaborate and edit the script directly so that it was just as we wanted on the day, which was perfect for us.

On the day, Debbie was ahead of the game, so that by the time I (the groom) came to the ceremony room, she had already spoken with the relevant groomsmen about their parts and all was sorted!

The whole process was very relaxed and put us at ease. Debbie came for a rehearsal of the ceremony at the venue a week or two before the big day, which made the bride and her mum feel much more confident on the day, having practiced timings with the music, walking speeds, where to stand and sit, etc.

10/10 would choose again.

I’d choose Debbie 1000x over!

Debbie was one of the best choices we made! We are so happy we found her and for her to be our celebrant. She made us feel so calm, at ease, great communication throughout and made it such a personable experience. She went above and beyond to tailor the ceremony to be special for us and I’m so grateful! If you ever need a celebrant - choose Debbie!!

Debbie Made Our Day Truly Special

We’re so glad we had Debbie as our wedding celebrant. She was really professional and always made time for us, and patiently guided us through the journey even when we had no idea what we were expecting. Debbie gave us many great ideas for the ceremony — we ended up doing a ring warming, which was really meaningful for us and our families.

On the day, things didn’t go exactly to plan because of a sudden rain and the ceremony was delayed, but Debbie handled it so well. She improvised so much on the spot and made everything feel smooth, warm, and personal. She completely owned the space and brought such a lovely, calming presence. Having her as our celebrant was honestly one of the best decisions we made.

A fun and relaxed celebration, exactly what we wanted

Debbie provided an excellent service as our wedding celebrant. We met with Debbie on a number of occasions before the wedding to write and develop the wedding script and also discuss and agree our needs. Debbie did an excellent job of taking our suggestions and turning them into a memorable celebration. We asked for a relaxed and humorous event and that is exactly what Debbie provided. The big day went exactly to plan, we couldn't have asked for more and would thoroughly recommend!

Debbie made our day so beautiful and special!

I am glad we chose Debbie for our special day. She was always patient, attentive, and sweet. She was very creative and suggested beautiful and fun ideas for our family members to participate in the ceremony as well! The ceremony was super fun, funny and beautiful! She was sensitive to our wishes, and my 10 year old daughter said 'It was the funnest and the best wedding I ever attended!'. Thank you so much for making our love story and our wedding ceremony so special, Debbie!

Captured our story beautifully

Debbie was incredible. She was able to capture and articulate our story beautifully in the ceremony. She was very proactive, on top of every detail and took away a huge amount of stress for us. During the preparation phase of the ceremony she asked us the right questions to get to know us and had prepared ideas for readings and had excellent suggestions on how to involve important people to us into our ceremony. The script and readings fit our story and unique aspects of our relationship perfectly. Our guests loved the ceremony, and many commented how beautiful it was.

Absolutely exceptional, Debbie should have 6 stars on all counts

My daughter got married in an idyllic historic villa in Tuscany in August and we couldn't be more thrilled with our choice of Debbie as celebrant. Having worked as a TV presenter for many decades, we trusted that Debbie wouldn’t be overwhelmed by 200 guests, 11 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, 2 dog ringbearers, a live singer, multiple readings and audience participation but her broadcasting experience also gave her an uncanny ability to think on her feet and nip any crisis in the bud, amongst others - the makeup stain on the bridesmaid's dress - sorted, the wedding ring that didn't fit (Debbie lent her own!) Truly the Mary Poppins of celebrants!
Debbie made the ceremony incredibly personal by getting to know the bride and groom so well beforehand, she was a great calming influence on my extrovert daughter and her far more reserved fiancé and wove the details of their whirlwind romance into a ceremony which had us laughing and crying in equal measures. It was a perfect magical day and Debbie had a big part in creating that.

The perfect celebrant from start to finish.

If you’re reading this, enquire with Debbie!

Debbie, thank you for leading our ceremony and being a superstar from start to finish.

We and our guests were so impressed by the amazing story you’d captured and how well you told it at the ceremony. It was like you’ve known us for years!! In reality, your professional approach with a clear and detailed questionnaire, coming to meet and get to know us in-person before the ceremony, and your presentation skills meant that the ceremony was always going to be perfect.

Your warm and professional approach set the tone for a day of celebration which is exactly what we wanted.

You’ve been a star from the very first zoom call, to the preparation and script writing, to the ceremony and a beautiful summary video.

Thank you playing such a big part in our day.

Sam & Emily.

Debbie is such a wonderful person & celebrant.

If you are looking for a celebrant who takes the time to understand you as a couple, shows you so much love and is so considerate towards you, your family and friends, then look no further. Debbie was absolutely fantastic from the very first call we had.

She was such a calming influence amongst all the chaos and we loved getting to know her. She has a real passion for what she does and the pride beams out of her.

We couldn't have asked for more on our Wedding day, her script was so lovely and she captured us perfectly.

Thank you so much for everything Debbie x

A beautiful and personal service!

From the moment we met her, we realised that Debbie was the celebrant for us. She absolutely loves ‘love’ and loves happy endings – which is, after all, what a wedding is all about. Debbie is naturally curious about people. She was fastidious about, and took time to hear, our respective stories and wove them together in a bespoke and personal narrative picking out the key points (both serious and light-hearted) that mattered to us and that we wanted to share with friends and family. On the day, Debbie delivered it perfectly. Our wedding felt intimate (despite over 60 people being in the room) as well as inclusive of our children and parents and a genuinely joyous occasion. Thank you so much.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
