Creating the emotional heart of unforgettable weddings.

Before the champagne is poured, the speeches begin, and the dance floor fills, there is one moment that shapes everything that follows. The moment your favourite people come together, your story is shared, and the emotional tone for your entire wedding day is set.

I'm Jane Roques-Shaw, an independent wedding celebrant working across the UK and Europe. Inspired by tradition but never constrained by it, I write and deliver bespoke modern ceremonies that are deeply personal, effortlessly stylish and filled with warmth, humour and heart - creating moments your guests will be talking about long after the day itself.

Every unforgettable ceremony begins long before a single word is written. It starts with getting to know you.

Before we talk about readings, vows or music, I want to understand the two of you. How you met. The life you've built together. The people who matter most. What makes you laugh, what you've overcome, what you love and admire about each other, and maybe what drives you both a little crazy.

Because that's where the magic lives.

Only when I truly understand your relationship do I begin writing a ceremony that couldn't possibly belong to anyone else.

Every ceremony is written from scratch and shared with you throughout the planning experience, so nothing comes as a surprise on the day (unless we've secretly gathered a few stories from your family and friends!) Together we'll refine every detail until it feels completely authentic to you.

By the time your wedding day arrives, I won't simply be the person standing at the front with you. I'll be someone who knows your story, understands what matters most to you, and can guide you both through the ceremony with warmth, calm reassurance and genuine joy.

About Me:

Hello...I'm Jane Roques-Shaw (pronounced Rock-Shore), and I've always been fascinated by people. Their stories. Their relationships. The moments that shape who they become.

Long before I became a celebrant, I spent more than twenty years helping global organisations understand people better through storytelling, employee experience design and creating meaningful moments that brought people together. Today, I bring that same curiosity, warmth and calm reassurance to every couple I work with.

These days you'll usually find me in the beautiful town of Bradford-on-Avon, just outside Bath, often planning my next trip (I've visited 43 countries so far), discovering a new restaurant (any and all recommendations welcome), catching a show at the theatre (usually in London), watching a movie (I'm a big Audrey Hepburn fan) or learning a new skill (currently the flute and also attempting to improve my French with my step-daughter, who is actually French).
