Dragonfly Ceremonies offers celebrant services throughout Nottingham and beyond.

As an independent celebrant, I love to create relaxed and uniquely meaningful celebrations filled with fun, laughter and excitement. Working across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire — and wider areas when you choose me for your wonderful ceremonies.

Whether you're planning a wedding or renewing your promises to each other, I will create something that feels genuinely and beautifully you.

Forget stuffy traditions and one-size-fits-all scripts. I work with couples and families who want something different – outdoor celebrations in magical settings, festival vibes with tents and lanterns, intimate gatherings filled with laughter, or quiet moments in nature that take your breath away.

So let's embrace all the wondrous possibilities to make your ceremony unforgettable. Filled with warmth, your stories will unfold into the magical moment when all your dreams come to life among your family and friends.

My ceremonies celebrate diversity, I embrace inclusivity in all its forms, so whether you're 35 or 75, marrying for the first or third time, blending families together and celebrating love without boundaries. LGBTQ+ – I embrace it all with warmth, respect and understanding.

1) You Get the Real Me

No corporate scripts or cookie-cutter ceremonies. I'm a former NHS worker turned celebrant who brings genuine warmth, empathy and a fun personality to everything I do. My Buddhist practices and meditation background give me a calmness that puts people at ease during both joyful and difficult moments.

2) Nature-Focused & Creative

I absolutely love outdoor ceremonies – woodland settings, beach sunsets, wildflower meadows, festival-style celebrations under the stars. If you're drawn to nature and want something magical and unconventional, we're going to get along brilliantly.

3) All-Inclusive Approach

Your ceremony should involve everyone, not just be something guests watch from their seats. I love creating interactive, participatory celebrations where family and friends feel part of the magic – whether that's through ring-warming, memory jars, tree planting, or simply an atmosphere that encourages connection.

So, whether you're planning a magical lakeside ceremony, an old barn ho-down, a sun-drenched woodland wedding, a joyful celebration of life in a favourite outdoor space, or a meaningful naming ceremony that honours your family's journey, I'd love to help you create it.

Let's chat about your vision, your story, and how we can craft a ceremony that's as unique as YOU!. No two ceremonies are ever the same with me as your celebrant – because no two stories are ever the same.

Weddings

Picture fairy lights strung through woodland trees, vows exchanged at sunset on a beach, or a festival-style celebration with tents, lanterns and all your favourite people gathered under the stars. If that sounds like your kind of wedding, you're in exactly the right place.

I can create memorable scripts for your ceremony, whether it’s outside or indoor, alternative wedding ceremonies for couples who want something different from the traditional. Relaxed celebrations filled with warmth, laughter, meaningful moments and a ceremony script that sounds genuinely, authentically like you.

For me, I love that perfect ceremony that brings that rollercoaster of emotions, funny one minute and heartfelt the next. That perfect blending of love, humour and unforgettable moments.

Who I Love Working With

• Outdoor Enthusiasts

  If you're drawn to nature and can't imagine saying your vows anywhere but surrounded by trees, beside water, or under open skies, we're going to create something magical together.

• Second (or Third) Time Around

  Have you been married before? Brilliant. You know what you want now, and you're ready to do it your way – relaxed, personal, full of joy and free from unnecessary formality.

• Blended Families

  Bringing children together and creating a united family deserves celebration. I love weaving your kids into the ceremony, making them part of your promises and creating something everyone feels part of.

• LGBTQ+ Couples

  Love is love, and I celebrate it in all its forms. You're wholeheartedly welcomed here, and your ceremony will honour your relationship with respect, warmth, joy and bring memories forever

• Festival Vibes & Alternative Celebrations

  Tents, bunting, live music, interactive elements, themed ceremonies, creative touches – if you want your wedding to feel like a festival celebrating your love, let's do it.

• Intimate & Meaningful Over Big & Formal

  Smaller gatherings where everyone's involved, not just watching. Ceremonies that prioritise genuine emotion and connection over impressing people.

Vow Renewals - Celebrating Your Love, Then and Now

After 10, 25, or 50 years – or simply because you want to gather everyone you love and say "I'd choose you all over again" – renewing your vows is a beautiful way to celebrate how far you've come and recommit to the journey ahead.

Whether it's a milestone anniversary, you've overcome challenges together and want to celebrate that strength, you're blending families and want to include your children in new promises, or you just want the celebration you couldn't have the first time around, I'd love to help you create something meaningful.
