The best celebrant!

Jess is the perfect person to marry you! So professional, so welcoming and just all round amazing. Jess took time to have phone call appointments and to even meet up for a coffee before the wedding to really get to know me and my now wife! We really appreciate how perfect the ceremony reading was, that perfect we’re getting it printed to frame in the house! Jess made sure we were so relaxed and calm when reading our vows! Highly recommended. Thanks for everything Jess xx

Thank you Jess

We’re so glad we chose Jess as our wedding celebrant! From the very start, she was warm, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. Even though we don’t live locally, she was able to meet with us remotely and really took the time to get to know us. On the day, she told our story so beautifully – it felt personal, genuine, and heartfelt. We can’t wait to read the script back on future anniversaries. Thank you, Jess, for making our day so special.

Perfect! Definitely recommend.

I was searching the internet for a celebrant and I came across Jess’s website and straight away I was impressed. I messaged her and booked in a video call for a chat. Soon as the call ended me and my now husband looked at each other and said she’s definitely the one we want. She has been like a friend throughout and so helpful. Her wedding script was brilliant and both of us loved how personal it was. Perfect vibe for our festival themed wedding. After the wedding numerous guests said how lovely she was. We would highly recommend Jess, for any occasion you may want a celebrant for. Thanks again Jess for the perfect ceremony. Xx

One Of The Best Decisions We Made For Our Big Day!

Jess was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! she is so welcoming and warm, and the love for her job is evident in her presence and in the quality of her work.

Getting to know her over the 2 years of planning allowed her to completely understand us as a couple. When we were sent the first draft of the ceremony script, we had zero things to add or change. It was us! On the wedding day, Jess went above and beyond to make our day so special, it was the most perfect ceremony! we cried, we laughed, we had the best time!

we'll be back for every future event that requires a celebrant! we loved working with you jess! thank you for making our day so unique to us and so perfect!

Simply the best 🙂

Jess was simply phenomenal as our celebrant, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of our wedding day. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to truly understand us as a couple. She has a real gift for creating ceremonies that are personal, meaningful, and full of heart.

Jess worked so hard to craft a ceremony that was uniquely ours, weaving in our story, values, and even a few light-hearted moments that made everyone smile. She guided us through the entire process, from the initial planning stages to the big day itself, always with so much warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

On the wedding day, Jess was calm, composed, and so well-prepared. Her delivery of the ceremony was absolutely flawless—she spoke with such sincerity and joy that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room (and plenty of laughter too). So many of our guests came up to us afterwards to say how much they loved the ceremony and how special it felt.

Jess went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was perfect. It honestly felt like having a friend standing up there with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will pour her heart and soul into making your day magical, Jess is the one. We’d recommend her without hesitation!

Jess, thank you again for being such a wonderful part of our wedding. You truly made it unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have had you there. We can’t wait to share our photos with you once they’re ready!

Lots of love
Clint & Andy

The best wedding decision we made!

There are a lot of decisions to make around weddings but having Jess as our celebrant was absolutely one of the best things we did!

From the minute we met- we knew we were going to get on well and the way Jess helped make our ceremony so personal was really really special. She helped us write vows that were so authentically us and brought her friendly and calming energy to provide a relaxed atmosphere where she shared stories about our relationship- making everyone laugh (and cry) in all the right places.

Every single one of our friends and family said how personal and emotional the ceremony was - it’s something we keep on hearing and that is down to Jess and how well she put everything together. She was a huge part of a big day in our lives and we are so so grateful that we made the decision to go with her as our celebrant (if we’re honest from the minute we spoke there was never another option).

Thank you so much Jess! ❤️

Incredible!

We cannot thank Jess enough for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease. On the day, Jess delivered our story so beautifully and with such warmth that many of our guests (even our families!) thought she was a close friend. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship was truly remarkable. Jess made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

What made Jess even more special was how wholeheartedly she embraced our wedding culture. She went above and beyond by finding an Indian wedding guest outfit of her own accord and researching Keralan traditions to help the ceremony flow smoothly. This thoughtful gesture made the day feel even more meaningful for us and our families.

We feel so lucky to have had Jess as our celebrant and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make their day truly special.

Thank you, Jess!

Jess The Celebrant

Jess was our wedding celebrant for our wedding on April 10th this year at The Castlefield Rooms in Manchester.
She was absolutely was amazing from start to finish and made us feel at ease from the get go. Following our initial phone call and filling out a questionnaire to get to know some personal details she came up with our script which was just perfect. It was the beautiful non traditional vibe that we wanted to go for with lots of little personal touches throughout for our ceremony.
Jess was so understanding and quick to help with any minor changes that we wanted to make (even in the near weeks before the big day!)
Having jess as our celebrant meant the service was a lot more personal and allowed her to mention the things that mattered the most to us on our day.
Jess was so lovely and made the service run smoothly and helped put us both at ease during the ceremony.
The gift she gave us was also such a kind gesture and was a beautiful idea.
If you are thinking of booking Jess as your celebrant we couldn’t recommend her enough!
Thank you again Jess for being so great and for playing such a big part in our special day.

Rick and Alex

Brilliant Celebrant

We recently had the pleasure of having Jess as our wedding celebrant and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From our initial meeting to the moment we said "I do," Jess delivered a brilliant service and helped make our special day truly unforgettable.

From the start, Jess was incredibly warm and approachable, making us feel comfortable and understood. She took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony reflected our personalities, values, and love story. This personal touch made our wedding feel unique and deeply meaningful.

Throughout the planning process, Jess was highly organised and professional. She guided us through each step, offering valuable advice and creative ideas while always respecting our wishes. Jess also offered support to our family and friends who were doing readings for our ceremony ensuring they felt at ease.

On the big day, Jess brought a calming presence and a joyful spirit that resonated with us and our guests. The ceremony was beautifully crafted and delivered with eloquence and genuine emotion. Her ability to balance heartfelt moments with light-hearted touches kept everyone engaged and made the ceremony truly memorable.

We wholeheartedly recommend Jess to any couple looking for a celebrant who is not only professional and talented but also genuinely caring and passionate about what they do.

Thank you, Jess for making our wedding day a perfect reflection of our love story. We will cherish the memories forever.

Excellent celebrant

Jess is an absolutely wonderful celebrant and our ceremony was perfect. The script was unique and personal with hints of humour. She met with us several times and was able to accommodate family requests whilst keeping the ceremony in line with our wishes and entertaining for our guests. She suggested including a sand ceremony which was a lovely way to involve our families. Definitely book Jess as your celebrant.

Our wedding celebrant

Jess was the perfect celebrant for our wedding day. We had experienced a family bereavement which meant we had to postpone our original date and we then couldn’t get a registrar so began to research celebrants. We came across Jess and loved the feel of her social media and website, we then had a chat with her and it just felt like she was the perfect person to lead our day.

It was the best decision we could have made especially selecting Jess. From the get go she was friendly warm and understanding. She took the time to get to know us and really managed to capture our relationship throughout the ceremony.

She was helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had the most special day and we really felt like she was as invested in our wedding as any family member or friend.

I really believe Jess made our wedding the most special it could be and would choose her again in a heartbeat.

Chris & Jess

Jess was absolutely fantastic, from the minute we spoke with her we knew she was the right person for us. She came up with the script following one call with us and there were literally no changes made. On the day she was superb, engaging with guests, putting our minds at ease and was so personable throughout the ceremony. I cannot thank her enough for making our day so special and would thoroughly recommend her to anybody looking for a celebrant. Thanks again Jess

Jubilant Jess!

My partner and I wanted a celebrant led LGBTQ ceremony, and came across recommendations for Jess in a wedding group online.
From her initial professional email communication to her lovely script, which was built with us every step of the way, we have been gently guided to ensure our ceremony was a true reflection of us. Jess is kind, compassionate, honest and fun. We truly believe our wedding was made by having Jess support us on our most important day
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
