About

Hi, I’m Michelle Park, an easy-going wedding celebrant based near Leeds in West Yorkshire. I create modern, relaxed ceremonies that feel beautiful, utterly joyful, and completely centred around you. I love getting swept up in your colour schemes and mood boards, but above all, your unique love story.Here's what one of my lovely couples had to say:“After a few meetings, it was obvious how much she cared about getting to know us, understanding our story, and making sure every part of the ceremony felt personal and true to who we are. Michelle shared our story with warmth, humour, and genuine sincerity.”

I travel across Yorkshire and beyond, designing bespoke ceremonies in all kinds of venues. From grand settings like Carlton Towers near Goole to rustic spaces such as The Yorkshire Wedding Barn in Richmond, every ceremony is tailored to suit you perfectly.

So often, couples tell me that their guests were blown away by the ceremony, with many saying it was the best they’ve experienced. I think that comes down to the level of care and attention I give, it really means the world to me. I especially enjoy incorporating meaningful symbolic elements, whether that’s inviting your guests to take part in a handfasting (perhaps with gentle music playing), or lighting a remembrance candle to honour loved ones who are with you in spirit. One ceremony that really stood out involved guests blending wildflower seeds together, it was incredibly touching and looked amazing in photos too.

Some other memorable ceremony moments include:
Hearing personal vows shared beneath ancient trees at Saltmarshe Hall in Goole, with the soft sound of a harp in the background.
A celebration at The Faversham in Leeds where the couple’s dog delivered the rings, dressed in a bow tie and corsage to match the groomsmen — and stole the show!
A beautiful ceremony in the deconsecrated St Leonards Chapel at Hazelwood Castle, where a fun-loving couple filled their ceremony with thoughtful, surprise moments for each other.

Here's what another of my couples had to say:

“Her professionalism, creativity, and kindness made everything feel so easy and enjoyable. We’ll always be thankful for how she captured our journey and helped shape such a special day. A five-star experience from start to finish.”

“There aren’t enough stars to describe how incredible Michelle is — I’d happily give her 100/5!”

I first discovered celebrancy after experiencing the powerful impact of a brilliant celebrant at my mum’s wedding. The ceremony was so personal and unique, and it set the tone for the entire day — I came away feeling completely inspired. A few years later, I can honestly say I never imagined just how fulfilling this work would be. My favourite part is connecting with couples and being invited into such an important moment in their lives. Many of my couples become friends, and it’s always an honour to tell their story.

If you’re looking for a celebrant in Leeds or anywhere in Yorkshire, I’d love to chat. I offer a relaxed, no-obligation discovery Zoom call so we can see if we’re the right match. I also share regular blogs about the weddings I’ve created, featuring amazing couples, beautiful Yorkshire venues, and stunning photography.

Please do get in touch, I’d love to hear all about your plans.

The BEST decision we ever made!

There aren't enough stars to give for how fabulous Michelle is! I would give her 100/5 if possible.
I found Michelle through Instagram when my (now husband!) and I decided we wanted to have a more personal, meaningful wedding ceremony than the same generic script used by registrars across the country. This was really important to us as we had been in a relationship for 13 years to the day when we got married (25/05/2025) and so it needed to be extra special!
From the moment we came across Michelle's information we had a good vibe from her, then when we met for an initial call to see how we got on, we knew she was the person for us! Luckily, she had our date free and was happy to help us out.
Michelle took a real interest in getting to know about us and our story, be it through questionnaires tailored to us specifically, meeting with us in person to chat, or back and forth conversations through email. We really felt that Michelle cared and knew we were in safe hands!
When Michelle did the read through of our wedding script with us, we were absolutely blown away. We didn't realise quite how "us" it would be and so many personal details that we had shared with her were included. To be able to keep this as a memory forever means a lot to us both.
On the day of our wedding Michelle arrived super early and was there for my husband to calm him down - she also did a great job of keeping everyone else calm whilst I was running late due to some unforeseen issues. Then when it came to the service, it was even BETTER than what we had remembered. Our guests absolutely loved it, with many saying it was, hands down, the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended and they couldn't believe that we hadn't know Michelle for years beforehand - that's how well she got to know us!
Michelle also worked with my husband to make some edits to the ceremony which were kept as a surprise from me until the day. This included some wording around the ring exchange to something that meant something to the two of us, as well as helping to keep the biggest secret of all - that my husband was going to be taking my surname! My husband has since told me how supportive Michelle had been when he was stressing out about keeping such a big secret, reassuring him and helping him to figure out the best way to reveal the surprise. This all made it even more special and meaningful for us on the day.
Also, Michelle printed out our vows, readings for the readers, and gave us a copy of the script to keep (along with something else extra special which we will treasure forever!).
If you are looking for someone who will truly help to ensure your wedding day is one of the best days of your life, then I cannot think of anyone better. Wishing we had another excuse to continue working with Michelle now it's all over....perhaps a vow renewal!?!!??!!
Seriously though, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! What an absolute gem of a human being you are Michelle! Mr and Mrs Bennett
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
