About

Hi, I’m George Worthington, an independent celebrant based in Canterbury, Kent.
I create and deliver bespoke, heartfelt ceremonies for weddings, vow renewals, and naming days—each one crafted to reflect the unique story, values, and personalities of the people at its heart.

Working closely with couples and families, I take the time to get to know you and shape a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. Whether you’re after something relaxed and joyful, deeply romantic, or full of laughter (or all three!), I bring just the right blend of warmth, sincerity, and humour to make your special day come alive.

I’m also passionate about incorporating symbolic or cultural elements into ceremonies. I’ve had the privilege of including various rituals in past services and always welcome the opportunity to learn about new traditions and help honour them with authenticity and respect.

As a fluent French speaker, I’m also able to deliver bilingual or fully French ceremonies—perfect for cross-cultural celebrations or Francophone families.

While I specialise in weddings, I also offer celebrant services for vow renewals and naming ceremonies—any milestone worth celebrating with love and intention.

I’d be honoured to help you create a truly magical and memorable ceremony.

George is fantastic!

Honestly cannot thank George enough for everything, the whole process from start to finish was excellent. George is extremely personable, helpful and easy going which just made everything so enjoyable and stress free - from the getting to know each other calls to the big day itself. The ceremony was beautiful, personal and everything we wanted. George got it so spot on.

We cannot thank you enough for making our day so special!

Personal, Thoughtful and Funny!

George was an unbelievable celebrant. We were both unsure whether to go down this route but are so pleased we did.

He made everyone in the room, and us included, feel so at ease. He told a few lighthearted jokes that were genuinely funny and we kept getting asked who our celebrant was during the day which I think speaks volumes.

He was very personal too, we went for a portmanteau of our names resulting in Boylesekera, and my wife has Shashi has a complex maiden name (Wunnekuarachigay Dorna Shashindri Nayanthara Abayasekera). He sent us voicenotes of him practising how you say it and absolutely nailed the pronunciation which made it so special as we really didn’t want someone to stumble over arguably the most important bit.

We wholeheartedly recommend using George, as he made the day even more special for us.

Exceptional Master of Ceremonies

George provided an exceptional Master of Ceremonies service at our Wedding. From start to finish George was truly excellent, providing warmth, sincerity, and an authentic personal touch to our special day.

George truly immersed himself into our Wedding, he demonstrated a real attention to detail during the planning stages and was keen to learn about us, our guests and our day.

This attention to detail became very apparent in his carefully crafted dialogue, from opening the wedding to the cutting of the cake, George provided the perfect balance of professionalism, humour, and the all-important personal touch.

George also went the extra mile to ensure the day ran perfectly from liaising with the Hotel to helping Grandma to her seat. He even helped settle our Best Man’s pre-speech nerves with reassurance and advice.

We cannot speak highly enough of George and would thoroughly recommend him as a Master of Ceremonies!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
