Professional Perfection

We were really grateful for having Juli as our wedding celebrant. Our handfasting ceremony had to be quite specific and she was really accommodating in combining our varied requests and wishes. The care, attention and experienced advice she gave to us was exemplary and this started from the day we contacted her. She encouragingly kept us on track during the whole process of organising the ceremony, without being overbearing. Having never been married before it was difficult to know what was the right approach to a hand-fasting and she was very honest with us regarding what would work and what wouldn't. We trusted to her advice and we are glad we did as her suggestions were spot on. The ceremony itself was amazing and, despite the pressure, we felt very relaxed and calm, mostly down to Juli's approach and support on the day. She certainly made the day very very special and would highly recommend her for her professionalism and relaxed manner.

Fabulous celebrant

A massive thank you to Juli for helping us celebrate our marriage. ❤️

Juli made us feel so welcome, relaxed and completely ourselves. She helped us breathe, take a step back and feel absolutely no pressure on the day, which meant more than we can say.

She took the time to really get to know us, our quirks and our sense of humour, and listened to what we wanted for our day. She made everything feel so personal and completely us.

I never thought I’d be eating Haribo with our guests during our own wedding ceremony 😂 but somehow, that’s exactly what happened, and honestly, it’s one of those moments we’ll never forget.

Our day was unique, full of laughter and joy, happy tears and above all, love. Juli played such a huge part in making it that way.

Thank you so much, Juli. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help us celebrate our marriage. ❤️

Absolutely Wonderful From Start to Finish

Juli was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. She made the whole process so easy and relaxed, and we always felt completely comfortable with her. The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for, her words were beautiful, heartfelt and told our story perfectly, making it feel so personal to us.

She was amazing to communicate with and took the time to understand what mattered to us. We’re so glad we chose Juli to be part of our wedding day and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Juli, for helping make our ceremony so special! ❤️

Our wonderful woodland wedding at home

We had a wonderful time with Juli as our celebrant.
We wanted a relaxed, warm, emotional ceremony and Juli delivers that beautifully.
Juli took time to get to know us and we were very happy.

Wedding celebrant

Wow, where do I begin... I connected with Juli the second I started our discovery call back in October. Juli made our wedding ceremony the relaxed, joyous and special experience we deeply wanted. Juli felt like a friend we had known for years - the care and devotion she puts into her work is profound. Thank you again for being our celebrant!

Mr & Mrs Wolff - 2023

We booked Juli as our celebrant and she was absolutely fantastic. She’s so kind and caring and even helped us with our planning with some recommendations. Juli was incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry and was just the person to message about any niggling questions. As for our ceremony, it was perfect. She incorporated both our children in really nicely and made our ceremony so personalised for us as a couple. This was largely due to her meeting us two times in advance to chat to us and get to know us together.

Amazing celebrant

Juli is absolutely amazing to work with. She puts a lot of time, care, and love into the ceremonies that she creates. Truly one of a kind and a genuinely lovely human being. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Her talent for writing and telling your story is fantastic.

Knocked it out of the park!

My partner and I contacted Juli last minute to help us with a very unusual ceremony -- we wanted to "marry" our friends, as a way of honoring our community before the two of us had a proper wedding with our families later on. Juli completely knocked this celebration out of the park, bringing rituals, ideas, and beautiful words to help us mark this special occasion with our friends. From the moment we spoke to her on the phone, we knew she was the right person. Juli is full of incredible warmth, wit, and kindness, and is exactly the kind of person one might want leading a special day. She found the exact right way to balance sentiment with lightheartedness, bringing both humor and deep emotion to the moment. And she did this all incredibly quickly, with fabulous communication. My partner and I will always remember her ceremony and are so grateful to her!

Happy couple

We contacted Juli last year and she helped us make important decisions that made such a difference to our day. For example, we have 2 children and they were included in the wedding ceremony. My daughter, Chloe (she’s 5 years old) was in charge of the confetti (which suited her, she’s quite bossy). Our son, (9 years) was the ring bearer and looked so great in his suit. It was a lovely family occasion and we are so happy that Juli was our celebrant. She’s really helpful and kind. Thanks again Juli

Oozing with kindness and respect...

Juli of Soulshine Ceremonies UK held a very special handfasting ceremony for my sister and now brother in laws' Viking wedding in a field in Dorset. She takes time to get to know bride and groom and their personal wishes and beliefs and uses these appropriately and with consideration for others during the ceremony. Juli is oozing with kindness and respect for anyone she speaks with and is the perfect celebrant for such a special occasion.
I too will be using her services for a wedding renewal following a covid restricted wedding last year - so when it is allowed we shall be planning!
