Amazing celebrant

Erishia helped me write my vows and my speech, she was fantastic from the beginning. I was nervous at first and the thought of writing my own vows and speech was quite daunting but Erishia made it so much easier and I am so pleased with final vows and speech

Out of this world, best celebrant!!!

A huge thank you to Erishia for all the help she has given us with writing our vows. From the very first time we met her together, she instantly made us feel relaxed. What was quite a daunting task at first, ended up being one of the most enjoyable, and that was all down to Erishia. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her and we are so thankful to her for being so understanding, calming and supportive.

Barry and Joan at The Gables Restaurant

Erishia,
Thank you for making our wedding on the 20th of December 2025 at The Gables Restaurant in Newgate Street a day that will stay with us forever.
From the very beginning, you were so much more than a celebrant. You were a calm voice, a guiding hand, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day everything we dreamed of. You understood us — our story, our personalities, the kind of wedding we wanted — and you brought it all to life in a way that felt deeply personal and incredibly meaningful.
I honestly can’t put into words how grateful we are. You didn’t just write a script; you created a moment. A moment that felt like it belonged only to us. You took the time to truly get to know who we are, and that meant the world. The ceremony was beautiful, emotional, and full of heart — exactly what we hoped for and so much more.
If anyone is looking for a celebrant who pours genuine care, warmth, and love into every detail, I couldn’t recommend you enough. You helped us create the best day of our lives, and we will always be thankful for that.
Thank you, truly, for everything. Barry and Joan x

Amazing Person

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Erishia for helping me put together what turned out to be the best Father of the Bride speech ever!

Her guidance, creativity, and understanding of exactly what I wanted to say made all the difference. The speech went down incredibly well, a perfect balance of humour, emotion, and sincerity, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without her help.

Thanks again, Erishia, for your patience, encouragement, and brilliant ideas. You really made a special day even more memorable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hello, i’m Erisiha, your independent wedding celebrant across London, Hertfordshire, UK & dream destinations

As a hopeless romantic, I genuinely love hearing how two people found each other.

Honesty, kindness, inclusivity, and compassion are at the heart of everything I do. I believe that the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.

Whether it’s greeting a stranger with a smile or standing alongside a couple on their wedding day, I hope everyone I meet feels welcomed, valued and at ease.

How It All Began

My journey to becoming a celebrant began with my late step-father, Bill. After his sister’s funeral, he quietly took me to one side and, in his wonderfully matter-of-fact way, said, “You should do that. You’d have done a much better job.”

Typical Bill — kind, honest and completely convinced before I was. He planted a seed that eventually led me to train as a celebrant, and I often find myself smiling and thinking, “You were right, Bill. Thank you”.

Before becoming a celebrant, I spent many years running my own florist business, supporting couples and families through some of life’s most meaningful moments, as well as working as an executive assistant, where organisation, attention to detail and staying calm under pressure became second nature.

Both careers taught me the importance of listening, empathy, and always going the extra mile, which I continue to do with my families and couples.

If you are looking for a ceremony that is sophisticated, stylish and deeply moving, you require a creative partner who understands the magnitude of what you are creating and brings the genuine warmth to match it.

I'm here for you x
