Brian & Sarah's Big Day!

Janey took our celebration to another level! We absolutely LOVED everything she did for us - from the initial meeting through to the delivery of the speech to our friends and family. So many of our guests made a point of complimenting her and how beautiful, upbeat and fun she made it for all. She really set the tone for a fantastic evening.
From the initial meeting, Janey understood what we were wanting and was pretty well there from the first draft - but was extremely flexible throughout - with a couple of requests from us. Totally professional, engaging and thoughtful throughout all.
Janey honestly helped make our day so magical and we would both recommend her to help your event go with a swing!!

Jane is sensational ❤️

Jane was instrumental in taking our celebration to the next level. She has an exceptional level of polish and professionalism whilst also retaining a genuine warmth. She tailors each ceremony to the uncanny details of the bridge and groom’s lives - conducting interviews and getting a real sense of your personalities.

She is across all the details of the day and is by your side to help guide you when you feel nervous or unsteady on the big day.

We can’t recommend Jane highly enough, she’s phenomenal 🙌❤️

Off the charts!

Janey Briars was exceptional! I could stop at just that one word, but I would like to explain further.
From the moment we had a zoom call, we both knew she was “it“. That became more apparent as we started to work together to compile our story for the day. Janey spent a great amount of time working with us to perfect that delivery. Nothing was too much trouble and she was not offended in the slightest by our suggested edits or amendments. Our guests provided endless comments on how wonderful she was, had we known her - before because it seemed that way, and where on earth did we get her from! She gave the most magnificent delivery and set the tone for the day. It was a flawless delivery, humour at the right moments, warmth and empathy and a perfect and professionally pitched voice She must have left buzzing with the amount of public acclaim she received! She also looked utterly amazing on the day too. Janey followed up by giving us a wonderful book to commemorate our day, unbeknown to us, which was fantastically well received. Yes she may not be the cheapest celebrant out there, but she is worth every penny and could not recommend her more highly. Ten out of ten.

If we had to sum up Janey in one word it would be MARVELLOUS.

From the initial emails, to the first meeting and then to the wedding day, every interaction was a joy. Janey took time to get to know us and this really reflected in the beautiful ceremony she wrote. We had a long conversation telling her our journey together, it was such a special meeting, and a lovely break from other wedding planning allowing us time to reflect.
So many guests on the wedding day told us it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and absolutely loved hearing our story. Throughout the process Janey was kind, funny, enthusiastic and encouraging. She handled some delicate topics so well and always made us feel comfortable. We incorporated our own vows in the ceremony which she supported us with, being the final check that our words complimented each other.
Our advice to future couples: throw yourself into the process, be vulnerable, Janey will be there to guide you through the process and your ceremony will be all the more special for it.

The best ever!!

If you’re thinking of booking Jane as your celebrant then just do it!! Our ceremony, so beautifully written, was the highlight of our day.

After a great interview to chat through all her questions, Jane wrote the most amazing story for us and our guests. It was lighthearted, funny and wonderfully emotional. We were blown away by how she told our story.

Not only that but she’s the kindest, warmest person who clearly loves what she does and it showed. The comments from our guests on the day are a testament to her because they all loved it. Couldn’t recommend Jane highly enough!!!

Amazing ceremony and clear communication

Janey was absolutely amazing and everything we were looking for in a celebrant. From our first zoom meeting she was clear with how she could help us, in explaining all the possibilities and options of what we could do with our ceremony, and her professionalism and personality made us calm and completely trust that she would be the best person for us - and we were right! Throughout the leadup to the wedding she was very responsive and helped us immensely with our vows. We loved the ceremony she wrote for us after our meeting and she was great at changing things slightly to our feedback. On the day she was fantastic, holding the room and bringing everything to the ceremony that we wanted. Would highly highly recommend.

Overwhelmingly beautiful

It was a joy for us to work with Jane every step of the way. Her commitment to ensuring everything was perfect for us and her suggestions and recommendations was a hand holding process in itself. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the service she created of us which she delivered with tenderness and genuine care. Quite simply she made our day!

Absolutely amazing and personable!

Janey was absolutely brilliant right from the start of the process.
Her ability to create a personal and emotional ceremony was amazing! She was willing to take time at the very beginning to ensure she understood us as a couple before writing our story and ceremony which suited our personalities. We remember meeting her face-to-face for the very first time at the V&A and she was well prepared with her box of sharpened pencils, ready to reminisce our journey as a couple with us, and furiously scribbled our stories to ensure she had every single detail down (no stones left unturned!). She also made great recommendations and ideas to help guide us through the process, including proof reading our vows! The ceremony turned out perfect and a lot of guests enjoyed it, leaving them both in laughter and tears.
We would like to take this opportunity to really thank Janey for making our ceremony so perfect for us and we cannot recommend her enough to all future couples.

Thank you once again!

Made our day

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Janey to a friend in the future.

She talked us through the whole process, including sharing her insights on other parts of the wedding process beyond her remit.

After an intensive session she crafted a personal story for the wedding which all of our guests complimented. Fantastic service!

Exceptional Celebrant (and person)!!

Janey was just incredible from start to finish - from the initial chat on zoom, to check we were the right 'fit' for one another - to delivering the most perfect, personal, and emotional ceremony for us - as well as everything in between. We spent a good few hours in a London pub one evening, reminiscing about how our relationship - which is actually a really lovely thing to do, it's interesting what you each remember - and Janey scribbled away furiously as we remembered, laughing, smiling, sometimes cringing throughout. And from there, the most beautiful ceremony was created. We couldn't believe the detail Janey had captured - it was amazing, there were very few tweaks required and on the day, it was delivered so beautifully. We've had so many comments from guests about how much they enjoyed hearing the story of 'us', how personal the ceremony felt, and just how lovely the whole thing was! Janey was also a great help and support with vow writing!! She's got such a sunny disposition which shone through throughout - could not recommend her highly enough!!

Thanks for everything, Will & Sam xx

Absolutely fabulous!

Janey is the most wonderful celebrant. She dedicated so much time to us; getting to know us, hearing our story, and writing the most beautiful and witty speech, that brought smiles to everyone’s faces on our wedding day. She is incredibly passionate about her job and her positivity is infectious. She really did make our wedding day so special. We can’t thank her enough!

Creating Happy Memories

Janey was our No.1 choice for conducting our ceremony. Right from the very first meeting she put us both at ease. She helped us focus on what we wanted, reminding us it was our day and it could be anything we wanted it to be. We had a great relaxed brain-storming session. She listened to our story, inspired and supported our ideas. On receiving the first draft we were so chuffed at how perceptive she had been in capturing our personalities and the tone of the ceremony was just right. We loved her attention to the details in particular finding the complete poem of the inscription on my wedding band. Janey's idea to gather "wise words of love" from our family and friends is a beautiful keepsake. We all laughed, we all cried and to quote my sister-in-law, that was the best wedding I've been to. Thank you Janey for helping create so many happy memories."

You need Janey for your wedding day

I cannot express how blessed we were to have Janey at our wedding.
There's a lot that goes into a wedding but it's easy to gloss over the value of the person marrying you on the day. Most of the time you just accept the Registrar's script and think that's all you get.
Janey's role on our day could not be underestimated. Not only is she one of the most personable, likeable and all-round decent people we've met, but she was actively involved in our story - the ups and downs - and did a fantastic job of translating that into a beautiful story that everyone commented on during the day.
We would go further to say that Janey's involvement in our wedding made her more than a supplier - but an integral part of the experience. At future life stages we experience, we can imagine Janey being there.
If you're ever unsure about whether to have a celebrant or not, I would just say that a call with Janey will make you certain it's the right thing to do (and Janey is the right person to do it)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
