Reviews for Julia Hawkes Your Celebrant in the Cotswolds
Julia was the perfect choice for our day
Her guidance helped shape a ceremony that felt completely personal to us, while still feeling relaxed and meaningful.
On the day itself, she was calm, warm and professional, and we felt so reassured knowing she was such a key part of our wedding. We were absolutely delighted to have Julia play such a major role in our big day and would recommend her without hesitation.
Julia Hawkes was a fantastic celebrant for our wedding
From the very beginning, she led us through a thoughtful and well-structured preparation process that meant the ceremony ended up feeling genuinely authentic, personal to us, and exactly in line with what we had hoped for. She shared helpful ideas and templates – for example around readings, possible elements to include, and practical tips for the day – without ever making things feel formulaic.
We really appreciated that she took the time to meet us in person during the preparation phase. She struck a great balance between offering clear guidance and giving us the freedom to shape a ceremony that felt uniquely ours. Throughout the whole journey she was extremely responsive and available whenever we needed consultation or feedback, which kept us feeling very well supported.
The ceremony she ultimately crafted and delivered on the day was wonderful and really resonated with our guests – we received fantastic comments afterwards about how special and “us” it felt.
We would warmly recommend Julia to any couple looking for a celebrant who is professional, caring and truly committed to creating a personal, memorable ceremony.
Warmth and Brevity from Julia
Our wedding with Julia was perfect
We love Julia!
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!
A Joyous Ceremony, Thank You!
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
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!
