Kate Etherton is a wedding celebrant based in South West London who creates ceremonies full of laughter where it belongs, and full of meaning where it matters.
Every ceremony Kate writes is built entirely from scratch — shaped around the couple, their story, and the room full of people who love them. Not a template, not borrowed from someone else's day. Kate's gift is in the listening: really hearing what a couple wants to feel on their wedding day, and then building something that delivers exactly that. The result is a ceremony that feels like it could only ever have been yours.
Her background in stand-up comedy gives her something truly unique — the ability to read a room in real time, bring levity and laughter when the moment calls for it, and hold everything together with complete composure when it doesn't go quite to plan. Kate handles it without missing a beat, and the room never sees a thing.
Every word of your ceremony will sound like you — not like a version of you that's been tidied up for the occasion. The inside jokes that will make your best friends laugh. The sincere words that will make your parents reach for a tissue. The thread that runs through it all and brings everyone back to the two of you.
Kate offers speech writing support for the wedding party — helping the best man who's been staring at a blank page for months, the father of the bride who wants to get it exactly right, and the maid of honour with a hundred things to say and no idea where to start. The speeches that follow your ceremony should feel as personal as the ceremony itself, and sound nothing like ChatGPT.
Kate speaks Welsh and can incorporate it into ceremonies with accuracy and care — a deeply meaningful touch for Welsh-speaking families or couples with roots in Wales. She has working knowledge of French, German and Spanish, and a good ear for pronunciation in any language.
Kate is fully trained and accredited by the International College of Professional Celebrants and fully insured to practise.
Every couple is welcome. Every love story deserves to be told exactly as it is.

Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a celebrant, a Welsh speaker, and a former stand-up comedian — which is either the perfect combination for a wedding or a very odd one, depending on how you look at it. I think it's the former. I write and lead ceremonies that feel completely, unmistakably you — full of laughter where it belongs, and full of meaning where it matters.
