About

Based in York, North Yorkshire, Eleanor the Celebrant is passionate about presiding over delightful and distinctive wedding ceremonies.

With all ceremonies, we'll start off with a no-obligation video chat or in-person meeting, getting to know each other and making sure we have the chemistry you’re looking for. If you feel like I’m the celebrant of your dreams (fingers crossed!), the fun can start!

You'll kick off with a mini date night – cocktails and candles – and some all-important questions to work through together, talking points and an in-depth questionnaire to help me get to know you and your story. Once you’ve sent that back to me, we’ll meet up over a bevvy (wine or coffee – your choice!) and go through all the juicy details for the day. All of this helps me put together your first draft script, which I’ll send to you for notes, revisions, and feedback, and we can make changes and meet up as much as you like until we’ve created the ceremony of your dreams!

You’ll receive my unwavering support – it’s a stressful time, and I’m here to help in any way I can. You can be involved in the writing as much or as little as you like, and the final balance will be due only when you’re completely happy with the script – no later than 8-weeks before your big day.

To get to know you, I'll send a questionnaire date night for you to work through as a couple before we meet face to face to work out all the juicy details. From there, I'll create your perfect ceremony script, and we can meet up and stay in touch as much as you like until you're deliriously happy with the finished product! A rehearsal is included in the total cost (if you'd like one), as well as a presentation copy of the script. Any extra costs will be discussed before booking, so there'll be no surprises.

Because one size never fits all, I also offer ceremony script writing, extra rehearsals, and any additional support that might be needed.

WHY CHOOSE ME?

I’ll never stop being amazed that I have the privilege of meeting such wonderful couples who entrust me with their stories and that I play a small part in marking the start of a beautiful new chapter.

My job isn’t to tell you what to do but to get to know you inside-out to make sure your ceremony perfectly reflects you, sharing the beauty of who you are with the people you love most. You shouldn’t ever be limited in celebrating your love, and you’ll have my unwavering support throughout the whole process as we work together to create something bloomin’ spectacular.

Eleanor made our July ceremony perfect

Eleanor was our wedding celebrant in July and she created such a beautiful, personal and unique ceremony. Even better than we could have ever imagined!

We knew from the very first phone call with Eleanor that she was exactly the right fit for us - she's so warm, friendly, open and full of joy. Initially, we didn't really know what we wanted from the ceremony but Eleanor helped us every step of the way, making sure that we felt fully comfortable with every decision we made.

We met her for a coffee a few months before the wedding and she even came along to our rehearsals to make sure everything ran smoothly.

We honestly can't thank her enough for everything she did to make our wedding day so special and personal. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was - she captured our relationship and story so perfectly.

I would absolutely recommend working with Eleanor, she is truly brilliant!

The best decision we made for our wedding

We honestly can't put into words how grateful we are to Eleanor for all the hard work she put into our day. In the whole nine months of stress and worry, our time with Eleanor was the only thing that brought us back to the reason we were doing it. She is such a reassuring, encouraging and supportive presence in the run up and having her waiting for us at the end of the aisle was like reuniting with an old friend. Honestly, asking Eleanor to join our team was one of the best decisions we made.

An extraordinary celebrant

Eleanor did an incredible job leading our wedding ceremony, going above and beyond in every way.

Over the twelve months leading up to our ceremony, Eleanor made a big effort to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. She got a real sense of who we are and crafted the ideal wedding ceremony for us, offering to make changes until it was perfect. She really felt like a teammate and was a constant source of warmth, encouragement and positivity through the hectic ride of planning & organising. If you want someone genuine, warm and soulful, you could not pick a better celebrant. Thank you Eleanor!

Wonderful Celebrant

We had the absolute pleasure of having Eleanor conduct our vow renewal - we had a covid wedding, so this was our big do – and she was just perfection. The ceremony was so personal and just beautiful. Eleanor is so warm and kind and is a natural. Everyone who attended was gushing about the ceremony, how personal and warm it was. Eleanor did our handfasting so well too, she gave us some options and guidance which we are very grateful for! We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you!

An absolute gem!

My husband and I are so happy that we chose to work with Eleanor. It just took so much pressure off us, having someone experienced and wonderfully creative to guide us through our ceremony. Deciding what to put in your ceremony and what to say is harder than it looks and Eleanor just made it all so easy and came up with ideas that we would never have thought of! We really felt like she took the time to get to know us as a couple so our ceremony felt totally unique to us. I would recommended Eleanor to any couple looking to tie the knot, she is an absolute gem!
