Charlotte is able to adapt her style to the occasion and participants with warmth and ease. From the initial contact she was friendly but always professional. Charlotte is one of those people who instantly puts you at ease- helping you understand what service she can provide whilst listening intently as you outline the service you need. We cannot recommend her highly enough - she carried out our blessing with humour alongside a sense of occasion and love.

Beth is a fantastically organised communicator who really guides your through the ceremony creation process. She tells you what's coming, what choices you have, and when she shares drafts she's really eager to collaborate and get your honest view. She is naturally very creative and inclusive. She understands that words are hugely personal and makes big efforts to personalise the story and the delivery of the ceremony as much as possible. What struck us most about Beth was her listening. While I expected a celebrant's speaking to be their main strength - it became clear that Beth delivers a ceremony with such a deep confidence because it's rooted in truth, we had many exchanges where she had deeply listened. After the ceremony, many people came up to myself and my wife, many asking 'where did you find Beth?' she is total magic when she is doing her work, thank you again, Beth.

Sacha, was an absolute pleasure to work with. Calm, collected, and completely in tune with our style, they brought such a reassuring presence to the day. Even when things got hectic behind the scenes, they were the picture of composure — truly swan-like on the choppy waters of a busy wedding! They communicated brilliantly, engaging not only with us but also with our guests, making everyone feel comfortable and involved. Their empathy and professionalism shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for a safer pair of hands to help bring our day together so beautifully.

We found Sarah to be a warm hearted, kind and social Celebrant. Who was truly interested in us and our love story, including how we meet and in depth details of our relationship. She created a light-hearted love story from our past to tell our guests, including surprise answers from each other. This bought a unique and joyful experience for ourselves and our guests. She is very good with children and welcomed our son in to the handfasting ritual, thinking quickly on her feet when he went off wandering to pick up acorns. After the ceremony she was the talk of all of our guests, by bringing a unique and magical ritual to life with a twist of humour.

I recently attended my nephew‘s wedding conducted by Lisa at bubblegum. I was really very impressed by her enthusiasm and by her engagement with my nephew and his fiancé and by the whole ceremony. Having spoken to my nephew after the service and asked him about how he had gone about planning it it was very clear that Lisa had been engaged right from the beginning willing to listen to what he and his with fiancé wanted to have in their ceremony. It really was a lovely occasion. I had the pleasure of sitting with Lisa over a drink later in the day and asked her about the business and how she goes about helping couples realise their dream of what they want for their special day, and it was actually quite inspiring. I would highly recommend bubblegum and Lisa I thought it was brilliant.

Ali is an absolutely brilliant celebrant and we were so lucky she was available to help us plan and conduct our wedding celebration. She was so kind, sensitive, easy to talk to and genuinely interested in our thoughts and ideas for our special day. She listened carefully and with her creative and insightful suggestions helped guide us through to realise our perfect ceremony. Ali's professionalism, meticulous planning and attention to detail was incredible and allowed us to completely relax into what was one of the happiest days of our lives. Ali was always an oasis of calm (much appreciated) and conducted the ceremony beautifully. We highly recommend Ali to help and officiate in any service requiring a celebrant.

Where do we even begin? Kate was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first conversation, she made us feel instantly at ease, like we were chatting with someone who had known us for years. She took the time to understand our personalities, our relationship, and the vibe we wanted, and then she brought it all together with absolute magic. Our ceremony was everything: full of laughter, warmth, emotion, and those unforgettable moments that everyone keeps talking about. Kate has this rare gift of being both professional and effortlessly funny. She read the room perfectly, she had our guests laughing one minute and wiping away happy tears the next. It never felt scripted or forced; it felt real, personal, and perfectly “us.” On the day, she brought a calming energy that we desperately needed. She guided us through each part of the ceremony with confidence and grace, all while keeping the atmosphere light and joyful. Watching her hold the space, connect with our guests, and tell our story was genuinely one of the highlights of the entire day. So many people came up to us afterwards saying it was the best ceremony they’d ever been to and that is entirely down to Kate. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will go above and beyond, who will pour heart and soul into your story, and who will deliver a ceremony bursting with love, humour, and authenticity, look no further. Kate is absolutely phenomenal.

Beth went above and beyond in every way to make our day perfect. From our first call we knew we’d found our celebrant. Beth was completely natural with a quiet confidence and a genuine warmth that put us instantly at ease. She really heard us, and the whole process of putting our ceremony together was clear and calm with beautifully presented and incredibly useful timelines and guidance notes. Neither of us like being the centre of attention really but Beth was there throughout the whole process with so much reassurance and care – it really felt like nothing was too much trouble and we could have called on her whenever we needed to. The ceremony itself was beautiful, balancing humour and emotion perfectly and really captured who we are. The readings were spot-on, and Beth wrote two different symbolic elements for us in the lead-up as we weren’t sure which to choose, both were so wonderful and creative - the cocktail making did was such a perfect close to the ceremony and start to our married life! In the rehearsal reading Beth also kept some of the ceremony a surprise for us both, which made it so special hearing those parts on the day. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, and we had so many compliments from guests about how beautiful, perfectly fitting and personalised the whole ceremony was. I really feel like we made a friend during this process, and cannot recommend Beth enough for all her care, warmth and amazing ability. Thank you Beth for making our day so completely perfect!

Rebecca was able to work with us on a deeper level, connecting to the true essence of our relationship. She tailored a fully bespoke wedding ceremony based on our needs and vision. She guided us through the whole process with her valuable knowledge of sacred ceremonies. She beautifully held the space for us and our guests. She was the central piece of our wedding. Without her, it would have not been the same.

It has meant so much to both of us, actually to all six of us, that you lead our wedding ceremony. You have managed to make our daughters feel totally involved and respected, which in turn made us feel deeply loved and proud. You gave us the confidence to write our own vows, which has meant so much more than the standard words. The way you involved our guests was deeply moving too, so was hearing you speak to our guests in English, German and Dutch. Jessika, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts not only for marrying us, but also truly bringing our two families together into one.
