A beautifully crafted ceremony ✨

From start to finish for our wedding ceremony, Jane was brilliant. Right from our first meeting, we knew she was attentive, caring and passionate. We were able to tell our story as a couple and have Jane craft a beautiful ceremony. At each step she provided valuable insight and ideas, but always let us adapt and keep it very personal to us. For example, Jane recommended hand fasting - something we’d never considered - it was so special on the day and numerous guests commented on its uniqueness. Jane made our guests feel very welcome and involved in our ceremony and we just knew we were in safe hands on the day. You won’t regret reaching out to Jane, she will make sure that you have the most special and memorable day. Thank you so much Jane! Dan and Luke - October 2024.

Simply amazing!!

Having known Jane from her other line of work, my now husband and I knew that we were in safe hands by putting our trust into Jane to come up with the most amazing ceremony. Preparation is what you need during a wedding, and preparation is what you get with Jane. The pre-wedding appointments, the rehearsal, the communication and just the personal touch reassures you that you are in safe hands. Jane listened, and took everything in. This showed when we got our first draft of our ceremony which required one change which was only due to the fact that we are both called George and needing to make sure we got our respective grandparents names the right way round haha!
The day of the wedding, Jane was like a fairy godmother; coming between the getting ready rooms, making sure we were still breathing (lol) and making sure we were ok and had everything. During the ceremony, Jane really got our guests listening to our story, and really told the story like a story. It was beautifully conveyed. Little touches like hiding during our first married kiss was lovely for the photos, and thoughtful.
We would happily recommend Jane to anyone wanting a humanist ceremony for any occasion.

Lots of love,
George and George

The wonderful Jane!

From our very first meeting, Jane made us feel completely at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for her job. She took the time to get to know us individually, and as a couple, and this was reflected beautifully in the personalised ceremony she crafted. Jane's delivery was flawless, blending heartfelt emotion with just the right amount of humour, which we loved! She made our ceremony both memorable and unique. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how special and intimate the ceremony felt - with guests saying it was the best wedding ceremony they’d ever attended. We are incredibly grateful to Jane for making our day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a celebrant who will bring love, joy, fun, and a personal touch to your wedding, we couldn’t reccommend Jane enough!

Small and personal wedding

Jane was fabulous in organising and writing a personal ceremony for our small wedding and guiding us through the process of selecting readings, including friends and family and making the whole ceremony part of our story. All this was completed in about 5 months. Of course, Jane was superb on the day and the day prior for our rehersal. All our guests loved Jane's service and presentation. A pleasure to work with and share our day with.

Best day of our lives

Well what can I say, our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives. Jane was amazing! From first contact via email to the end result she was truly amazing. The first meeting we had with Jane she really spent time to get to know myself and my husband. She wanted to know our story, what our current lives are like, about our son so she could include him in the ceremony and lastly what we mean to each other. Jane wrote the most beautiful ceremony we could have asked for. As anyone knows a 4 year old in a wedding ceremony gets bored, Jane was so good with our son Edward. When she invited him to give the rings he wanted to stay there standing with her whilst we exchanged our vowels and did the ring exchange. Jane really allowed him to be a big part of the ceremony and we really appreciate that as it made it really special. Lastly we really loved how personal our ceremony was to us and our little family. Jane really captured our lives and made our day so special.

A celebrant to celebrate

Jane was an absolute joy to work with throughout both the preparation and the day. She was happy to go along and accommodate our quirky ideas to make our ceremony totally us. She made us and our guests at ease and cherished throughout. Our day genuinely couldn’t have been any better and Jane was instrumental to this.

Our perfect October wedding with Jane!

Jane was warm, charismatic, genuine and we genuinely could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant for our wedding. She handcrafted the most magical ceremony for us and helped put our minds at ease from the moment we met her. Jane’s passion for what she does is clear to see in every detail of what she does. We will cherish the memories of our wedding ceremony until the end of time. Thank you Jane for being so amazing!

Wonderful wedding celebrant!

Jane was brilliant for our wedding ceremony. The months before she was really engaged and organised. She made the process much easier and helped us decide on the perfect ceremony. She gave us clear timelines and gently reminded us when we were behind on doing our parts, which was really helpful to keep us organised! We felt really comfortable with her and she really understood our relationship. On the day itself Jane was brilliant. She helped organise guests, got the ceremony room ready and prepared groomsmen, bridesmaids and the father of the bride. We had a great time at the ceremony. Jane delivered everything with just the right emotion and kept things interesting and fun. We felt it was exactly what we wanted. There were many happy tears from the guests and many complimented us on a beautiful, unique and personal ceremony.

Jane is a wonderful celebrant, tailored our ceremony beautifully!

Working with Jane was a wonderful experience from the very beginning! She tailored our ceremony beautifully and started our wedding day in the most warm and memorable day, which all our guests commented on. The ceremony was personal and witty and filled with love, and the hand fasting was a fun and memorable moment, fully involving our nearest and dearest!

Made our wedding pure perfection

What can I say about Jane. There will never be enough words to thank you!

You made the most gorgeous, personal ceremony for us that we will never forget. It felt like being married by a close friend. We loved getting to know you during the wedding planning process. I couldn't have imagined doing it without you!

Everyone commented on how magical they found the experience, especially as so many were new to a humanist wedding ceremony - and everyone loved the hand fastening!

If you are wanting an intimate wedding celebration - look no further than Jane. She creates things of beauty.

Jane - you really are the best.

Best Celebrant ever!

We knew we had found the right Celebrant from the moment we met Jane. Her warmth and enthusiasm shone through and we immediately felt we were in safe hands. The whole process was seamless, as Jane guided us through, carefully listening to us and helping us with every detail. We had so many compliments about the ceremony on our Wedding day and we will be forever grateful to Jane for everything she did for us. Her enthusiasm and passion for her work is obvious for all to see and she made our day truly memorable.

Jane Blackman

Jane was absolutely superb. She took a part of the wedding we were thinking about glossing over and playing down and worked with us to make it the highlight of the day!
