Our wedding with Julia was perfect

As soon as we spoke on the phone we knew that Julia was the celebrant we'd love to have for our wedding. She exuded a calmness and professionality that we both were looking for. Through meeting us in person and from some in-depth questions, Julia crafted a beautiful script that included so much love and our family really enjoyed the ceremony. We'd decided on a few special moments for the wedding and the way Julia conducted the ceremony with a good mix of humour and sincerity which put everyone at ease. We really loved our day and it felt so special listening to words that meant so much to us. Thank you Julia, we're so pleased we chose you for our wedding day!

We love Julia!

Julia was absolutely amazing and if you’re looking for a celebrant for your wedding, look no further as she’s the best!

We had so many people come up to us after the ceremony saying that it was better than other standard ceremonies they’d seen before and that it was a lot more personalised to us and emotional. From the beginning, Julia was so easy to talk to and really helped us feel comfortable and ready for the day and she made the actual ceremony (which we were excited for but also a bit nervous about) feel so right and perfect and we can’t thank her enough.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a more magical celebrant than Julia!


We truly couldn’t have asked for a more magical celebrant than Julia. From the moment we connected on Instagram, we knew she was the one. We didn’t want a traditional or overly formal ceremony, we wanted something personal, heartfelt and full of warmth and Julia delivered that and so much more.

She took the time to really get to know us, and created a ceremony that felt so perfectly us. It made us laugh, cry, and smile the whole way through. On the day, she was calm, kind, and just the loveliest presence to have around. The ceremony was genuinely one of our favourite parts of the whole wedding weekend, and that was entirely down to Julia.

We’re so grateful to her for the beautiful words, the thoughtful touches, and how at ease she made us feel. We’ll treasure those moments forever.

Thankyou so much!!

A heart-warming ceremony!

I live in Tokyo. I exchanged emails with Julia between Japan and England. She was very attentive to my needs, so I had no worries. Our wedding was a heartwarming ceremony just as we had imagined. Julia helped us with the original ceremony we wanted, with all her heart. I am very grateful to her.

A Joyous Ceremony, Thank You!

Choosing Julia as our celebrant was one of the best, if not the best decision we made for our wedding day.

We chose a celebrant wedding as we were hoping for a ceremony that was personal and truly captured 'us'. In this, Julia exceeded all our expectations. She created the most beautiful, unique ceremony that really felt like a reflection of our personalities and our stories. We've had so many compliments from friends and family remarking on what an amazing ceremony she conducted!

Throughout our time working with her, Julia was always professional, kind and extremely helpful. For a time we were worried a close family member might not make it to the wedding and she went above and beyond to try and help us to organise a small ceremony in the presence of that family member. Despite the fact that was not needed, we're so grateful for all the extra effort she put in.

On the day she really helped both of us feel at ease, especially my husband waiting at the end of the aisle! Her calm presence and delivery was perfect for the occasion. After our wedding, we were absolutely delighted to receive a beautiful box with a copy of our ceremony, personal vows and another little keepsake box with our tied ribbons from the handfasting.

We would recommend Julia (and a celebrant wedding!) without hesitation, her ceremony set the tone for the most joyous and perfect day of our lives!

Cannot recommend Julia enough

Julia conducted our UK wedding ceremony for us and she was absolutely amazing throughout.

From the very beginning, she gave us so much helpful advice on how to do a dual ceremony (as we're an intercultural couple) which we really appreciated because there wasnt that much advice readily available.

Leading up to the day, she carefully crafted the most perfect bespoke ceremony for us, using the details we sent over to her. I also really appreciated that she took the care to learn how to correctly pronounce my Indian name (because not many people bother!), which I really really appreciated!

We loved our ceremony and we cannot thank Julia enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
