Meaningful modern ritual and ceremony

Dr Juliette Morton is a celebrant, award-winning writer, and seasoned performer based in Gloucestershire, with a deep love of story, ritual, and real connection.

She creates bespoke ceremonies that are relaxed, poetic, and full of heart - whether for weddings, elopements, vow renewals, or non-traditional celebrations.

Couples receive thoughtful guidance, a unique script, and a ceremony that feels like art - not admin. Guests at her ceremonies often remark on her skill of 'holding space,' the calm and gravitas she brings and the power of her ability to guide proceedings flawlessly from start to end.

Juliette has decades of experience working in events and is a highly regarded poet and writer (find her online: JLM Morton) - celebrancy is simply a natural extension of that work, deepening her service to communities.

Ready to begin?

For couples dreaming of a ceremony that's poetic but not precious, fun but not too formal, Juliette offers a warm invitation to get in touch and find out if you are the right fit for one another.

Calm and creative!

From the very first conversation, Juliette understood exactly our vibe and what mattered to us - she shaped a ceremony that felt deeply personal, beautifully worded, and completely true to who we are. Family kept telling us how moving and original it was. The whole experience felt calm, grounded, and genuinely joyful. We’re so grateful for her care and creativity.

Perfect Day

Juliette helped us create the perfect day for our wedding with her intuitive creativity and thoughtful design of the ceremony. With her guidance, we included a handfasting ritual in our ceremony which was so beautifully done that none of us will ever forget it. Can't recommend Juliette highly enough!

Beautiful, bespoke and unforgettable!

Working with Juliette was a joy from start to finish. She listened with real attention and shaped a ceremony that reflected who we are, not a template. Her words were poetic without ever feeling overdone, and she held the space with calm confidence. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful or intuitive celebrant.

Juliette Morton
Celebrant

I am an independent secular celebrant, writer and creative producer.

I create stunning, personalised modern ceremonies that mark life’s rites of passage with depth and meaning. An award-winning poet and writer, I've been drawn to celebrancy as a natural extension of my wider work.

Stroud‑based, serving Gloucestershire and the West/South West, I like to craft nature‑inspired ceremonies for weddings, funerals, memorials, naming ceremonies, and life transitions that blend symbolism and ritual with well-chosen words to make ceremonies that never feel generic or off‑the‑shelf but reflect the people at their centre.

What I offer

  • Ceremonies crafted from scratch, rooted in your story and values
  • Support with selecting readings and music
  • Nature-inspired elements such as seasonal blessings, handfastings, water rituals, and more
  • A relaxed, lyrical vibe that balances depth with simplicity
  • Vow writing workshops for couples who want to create their very own vows that feel like a true reflection of their personalities.
  • Hen parties - creating rituals and shared spaces that bond the sisterhood, giving thanks for all that you've given one another and all that you will continue to give in the years ahead (see my deals)
  • Bespoke poems created especially for each couple, based on your story
  • Ceremonies that honour diverse identities, traditions, and access needs - with thoughtful language, flexible formats, and a commitment to emotional and cultural inclusion.

My job is to bring tradition and innovation together to create ceremonies that feel effortless, elegant and profoundly personal.

Couples and families choose me for bespoke ceremonies that are beautifully written and deeply resonant. As a writer and ritual‑maker, I bring a rare blend of creativity, calm presence, and attentive listening to every milestone I support.

I think of myself as less of a 'performer' of ceremonies, than a 'holder' of them - a steady pair of hands who works with style and grace to ensure that everything runs smoothly and leaves guests with the feeling that they've just experienced something very special indeed.

I'm a fully trained member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants, the largest organisation of independent celebrants in the UK and Europe. I'm also a founding member of the Celebrants Guild and my services are fully insured.
