Circle Of Light Ceremonies are so happy to join the Hitched family and even more so at the prospect of helping you dream and design your perfect Wedding Ceremony.

The Confident Choice for your Perfect Wedding Ceremony

Your wedding day should be filled with joy, love and excitement - not nerves and stress. As a highly experienced public speaker, TV presenter, and confidence coach, I have a unique skill set which ensures that whilst the pair of you are getting hitched, your wedding ceremony is going off without a hitch! Instead, it will be seamless, engaging and truly unforgettable.

I've worked with couples for many years. My other business, Flashlash, has been providing lashes, brows and makeup for over a decade. I know what those jitters can bring, and part of my role is to fill you with confidence and calm when those nerves kick in. You'll be in safe hands.

Expertly Crafted and Professionally Delivered

As a fully trained and authorised Wedding Celebrant with a background as a TV presenter, I know exactly how to captivate an audience, command a room and set the perfect tone for your wedding ceremony. My journalistic background brings expertise in writing and storytelling, which means that your love story will be beautifully crafted and told - authentic, heartfelt, and tailored just for you.

But it's not just about words, it's about presence, confidence and connection. You might be feeling nervous about speaking infront of your guests? Don't worry, as a confidence coach I have plenty of tips and tricks up my sleeve to help you get over the pesky nerves but also I can tailor your ceremony so that you only have to repeat after me. Conversely, if a la MAFS, you'd like to write and deliver your own vows, I can help you to do this too. The exciting thing about what my celebrant services offer is that you are spoiled for choice from your vows and ring exchange vows to the signing of a certificate and mini rituals such as Handfasting to add all of those extra special personal touches. I will help you feel at ease and in control of your own perfect day and ensure every moment, every dream flows effortlessly and just as you dreamed and imagined.

More than just a Celebrant - Your Wedding Day Anchor

Beyond crafting and delivering bespoke ceremonies, I also offer:

Mini Rituals - Handfasting, Unity Candles, Sand Ceremonies and more

Confidence Coaching - Helping you to overcome those wedding day nerves

Master of Ceremonies (MC services) - keeping your celebration smooth, professional and engaging from start to finish.

Of course, if you need lashes, brows and makeup, then all of that can be arranged too!!

With me by your side, you can relax, be present and enjoy every moment. Knowing that your ceremony will be everything you dreamed of and more.

Let's create something extraordinary together.

Get in touch and let's start turning all of your ideas and dreams into reality and create your perfect ceremony!

Thank you, Joanna!

We cannot thank Joanna enough for the incredible role she played in our wedding day. From our very first conversation, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. She listened so thoughtfully and took the time to understand our story, our values, and what we wanted from our ceremony.
Joanna was not only helpful every step of the way, but also incredibly personal in her approach. She crafted a ceremony that felt so uniquely us – heartfelt, meaningful, and beautifully worded. Her ability to capture emotions and express them so eloquently truly made the day unforgettable.
So many of our guests commented on how touching and genuine the ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to Joanna’s fabulous way with words and her natural presence.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Joanna to anyone considering a celebrant – she is professional, warm, and absolutely wonderful at what she does. Thank you, Joanna, for making our day so special and memorable!

London Wedding


Joanna was our celebrant for our Wedding in London in September. We worked with her for over 6 months leading up to the big day and we were in regular contact throughout. The process began with a meeting where she asked us very insightful questions about our relationship and immediately it felt like she really understood us as a couple. This is reflected in the love story she writes to be read in the ceremony. She made sure to keep the process on track meaning the ceremony was ready many weeks before the day. she also showed flexibility with last minute adjustments. We appreciate the efforts she went to in pronouncing Icelandic names and all the other little touches that made our wedding extra special. The delivery of the ceremony was seamless, she seemed genuinely excited for us throughout the whole process. Many of our guests commented to say how great she was. We would recommend her as a celebrant to anyone.

The best celebrant!!


Having Joanna by my side on my wedding day was honestly one of the best decisions I made.
From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, steady energy to the room—it felt like everything slowed down in the best way. She knew when to give me space, when to check in, and when I needed a gentle reminder to breathe and just enjoy the moment. I didn't even have to explain—she just knew.
What meant the most was how genuinely she listened. I felt completely heard and understood, and she made sure every part of the experience reflected what I wanted—not just the logistics, but the feeling of the day. She made me feel beautiful, confident, and totally myself at a time when emotions were running high.
Joanna has such a natural gift for making people feel comfortable, supported, and seen. If you're thinking about booking her as a celebrant, do it. She’s warm, intuitive, incredibly professional—and just the kind of person you want with you on one of the biggest days of your life.

What a star!

Joanna was such a grounding presence in preparation for my wedding day. She’s worked with so many brides and just knows what we need.
When the big day arrived because of her understanding, care and attention - I felt beautiful, confident and calm.


It's a lot of preparation and Joanna has the knack when I was feeling overwhelmed of knowing exactly what to say to settle my nerves and help me feel confident.

What really stood out was how well she listened. She took the time to truly understand what I wanted and needed—not just the details, but how I wanted to feel. And then she delivered that, and so much more. Having her there felt like having a best friend who just gets it—warm, reassuring, and completely focused on making sure everything felt right.
She really has such a gift for connecting with people and creating calm, joyful moments.

If you are looking for a celebrant who really gets you - shes the one!!

Joanna was the perfect MC!

Warm, funny, and effortlessly professional—she had the whole room smiling and everything ran so smoothly. She helped calm my nerves before my speech and made everyone feel so at ease. Super organised, quick to communicate, and just a genuinely lovely person. Brides, if you're looking for a celebrant or MC who gets it, Joanna is your girl!
