Amanda was great from start to finish! Made us very comfortable and made our ceremony very personal to us

We hate overusing the word amazing but Paul was exactly that. From the moment we connected his level of communication and professionalism was impeccable. He had everyone at the ceremony emotional with his words. The way he crafted a script from our story was simply beautiful. He connected that room in a way that left us speechless. We also asked him to be emcee for our evening and that was also perfect. He was so organized and gave us the flow for the day that is so needed. We would highly recommend him as emcee to any couple who is considering that service as well as celebrant. Paul - we will miss our chats and we hope to stay in touch. Much love Carla and Darren

Bel was 100% professional from our first meet & greet to our wedding ceremony day Her ability to help us with everything in the run up to our wedding ceremony including our personal vows & speeches was just the best & so helpful! Bel is the best of the best & we both highly recommend her everytime.

My husband and I decided to renew our wedding vows on our anniversary after he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. From the moment we spoke to Karen, nothing was too much trouble for her. After meeting us both and discussing our preferences, Karen drafted the service and our personal vows. She then met us again at the venue to talk through how we wanted the evening to go, and anything specific we wanted to include. She also quickly made the few minor adjustments that we suggested for our service and vows. Karen met us on the day to help set up the room, even loaning us items, such as the candle holders for our unity candles and table runners. Karen was so personable and friendly. The evening was perfect and we and our guests have talked about it frequently since. What a memory; thank you Karen! We would not hesitate to recommend Karen Irving Ceremonies.

From our very first conversation, Lucie was warm, professional and incredibly reassuring. On the day of our ceremony she arrived on time, greeted everyone with the biggest smile, and remained calm and joyful throughout. She even wrote us a beautiful, personal poem that made the ceremony feel so special and unique. Our guests commented on how heartfelt and engaging the ceremony was, and we couldn’t haveasked for a better celebrant. Lucie genuinely cares about the couples she works with, and it showed in every detail. Excellent value for money, highly professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Lucie, for helping make our day unforgettable.

Ange made our day that little bit more special by bringing everything together. Her warm, personalised ceremony captured our story perfectly and put everyone at ease on the day, including me! I would wholeheartedly recommend Ange to any couple for a memorable celebration.

Catherine was an absolute joy to work with and is kind, warm-hearted, and thoughtful! She is thorough in her research to present the ceremony you envision and adds her own special "sparkle" to make it even better than you dreamed! Her energy is so positive and genuine, bringing the whole room to tears of joy, laughter, and heartfelt emotions. She created a beautifully-worded script, specially tailored to our story and personalities and took us and the guests through an entire journey of our love, culminating in our vows and a personalized "pinky-binding" ribbon ritual we asked for. On a personal level, she is a wonderful person, truly interested in the lives of her clients and very communicative. It has been a delight to get to know her and we highly recommend reaching out to her for your ceremony!

Patricia was the perfect celebrant and master of ceremonies for our London wedding in August 2026. We're blessed to have found her, and highly recommend booking her for your special day. Planning a London wedding from Brooklyn, NY, we felt truly fortunate to be able to work with Patricia. From our very first virtual video call in February 2026, through consistent communication in the months that followed, Patricia made the entire process seamless and grounded in joy and respect. We finally met her in person over breakfast in London in May 2026, where she asked excellent questions and all-important follow-ups to deeply understand our story as a couple. We wrote our own vows, yet Patricia collaborated with us on writing a meticulous yet compelling telling of our love story, bringing warmth and thoughtfulness to every step. Patricia's impact went far beyond the ceremony itself. When our wedding week finally arrived in August 2026, she joined our rehearsal dinner in London two days before our wedding day, bringing her signature calm, friendly, and thoughtful presence to the event. What stood out most was how earnestly she connected with our family and friends throughout the entire wedding week. She made a genuine effort to have meaningful conversations with our guests, and to this day, people are still asking us how Patricia is doing! We’re grateful that Patricia successfully ensured our ceremony was absolutely phone-free, per our request. She even led a grounding breathing exercise before our wedding processional, which helped set the intention for everyone to be fully present. Our ceremony included scripture, prayer, and a poetry recitation by selected family members, and Patricia seamlessly guided each step with perfect ease. It was particularly special that she held a moment of recognition for our guests of honor (the bride's grandmother, based in London and the reason we chose the city for our wedding) and for family members who had passed, including noting the memorial seat in the front row for the bride's late father. We had the perfect day, and it wouldn't have been possible without Patricia at the helm as our celebrant and master of ceremonies. She brought fun, joy, and thoughtfulness to every stage of our wedding week, and we can't recommend her enough. What we shared above are only a few moments, and it’s hard to properly capture the true depth of meaningful impact Patricia made on our wedding. We’re eternally grateful. TLDR: If you want a celebrant and master of ceremonies who brings warmth, expertise, joy, and genuine connection with your guests to your entire wedding week, not just the day itself, then book Patricia as your Dream Celebrant. You’ll be very glad you did! Crystal and Nana

We engaged Toastmaster Guy for our wedding in July 2026, and honestly we couldn't have been any more pleased that we did. Having booked his services in 2025, Guy was a consistent source of support and a fountain of knowledge and experience throughout the build up to the wedding, to the point that we couldn't have felt any more assured about the proceedings on the day, and how right a decision to engage him it was. On the day itself, Guy was an extremely personable, kind and relaxing presence for my husband and I - even sorting out my button hole when us lads didn't really know what we were doing! With 115 people moving across three distinct areas (both indoors and outdoors) of quite a large venue (it was a country club and hotel) he did an outstanding job of ensuring people were in the right place at the right time. Crucially also, and something I don't think we appreciated until the day, he was ALWAYS one step ahead of things - communicating with the venue to ensure things ran smoothly, and communicating a slight adjustment of the timetable in the evening (speeches overran a little!) with the band and DJ we hired for the evening. Guy's presence really helped drive the atmosphere at key moments (our wedding breakfast entrance I'll always remember!), and he was always accommodating of communicating our personal requests throughout the day for attendees. From the original booking to the day itself, an absolute outstanding professional and master of his craft. We couldn't recommend him any more. Thank you for helping us have the best day of our lives so far!

We are so glad we chose Chris to be our celebrant. He was super helpful and knowledgeable from start to finish and spent time with us to make sure that each and every part of our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. Chris is so warm and friendly which puts you at ease and is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Thank you so much Chris! Kiera & Joe x
