Miranda made the ceremony the highlight of our day!

We never wanted a traditional 'stuffy' ceremony but wasn't sure how we could legally get away with making it more fun. We met Miranda at a wedding fayre and she was the answer, and we're forever thankful that we met her. She made our ceremony so special and unique, with so many of our guests commenting on how different and fun it was. Most say it was the highlight of the day, and that's all thanks to Miranda.

Miranda really took the time to get us know us, not only as a couple, but as individuals. She asked about our family heritage, hobbies and love story. From this, she was able to give lots of ideas of how we could make the ceremony personal to us. We had a friend write a poem and Callum's Dad write some top tips for marriage. Miranda helped them both, proof reading and offering great suggestions. She also helped us write our own personal vows as we had no idea where to start. We were able to drink whisky from Callum's family town in Scotland, something she suggested, and went down a treat as a cheers at the end of the ceremony.

Not only did Miranda help and support us throughout, she put us at such ease, managing the whole ceremony and the lead up. We never had to chase her for anything or worry about things being done. I didn’t feel nervous on the day and I honestly think it was because of Miranda - I just knew it was going to brilliant with her running our ceremony. No nerves, just excitement, which is how all brides should feel on their wedding day.

Truly incredible Celebrant!

Miranda was a truly incredible celebrant and really made our ceremony (and the whole day) incredibly special! My husband and I were on the hunt for a celebrant who could create a ceremony that really reflected us and was able to include several more unusual traditions for his Norse Pagan faith.
Miranda took everything in stride, taking time to research everything we discussed independently and showing real love, care and passion in the crafting of our ceremony. She made the process incredibly easy and low hassle, fitting around busy lives and schedules, giving us the best ceremony we could wish for!
Several guests (including my mum who is a bit of a wedding connoisseur these days) came up to share how much they loved the ceremony. They were especially complementary of how well it fitted and reflected us as a couple and how engaging and interesting it was!
Both Justin and I cannot recommend Miranda enough! If you are lucky enough to have her do your ceremony it will truly be one for the ages. Thank you again Miranda for all your hard work, we will definitely reach out next time we’re in the area to share some historical exploration!

Fun, personal and full of love!

When we first contacted Miranda we had no idea what was included in a celebrant’s remit. At most weddings we’ve been to in the past, the ceremony is the formality that you ‘get through’ to get to the party, but with Miranda, the ceremony was the start of the party! James and I both admitted early on that we struggle with ‘gushy lovey dovey stuff’ and we were very hesitant about using our own words and putting our own stamp on the ceremony. We are both so glad that Miranda encouraged us to write our own vows. It was the one time we really let each other know how we feel and we will remember those words forever (also because Miranda gifted us our ceremony script and vows). She was an absolute hit with our guests and we had so many wonderful comments about how fun and personal and ‘unapologetically us’ it felt. Many of our guests said how great it was hearing ‘our story’ and Miranda really took the time to get to know us and really tell it well. Would 100% recommend - Miranda is wonderful!

We could not recommend Miranda more!

We could not recommend Miranda more. We knew we wanted something different to the usual registrar route, someone that would bring pure joy to out day and Miranda did that and more.

From start to finish Miranda was warm, kind and professional. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted it into the most beautiful and funny love story. She held our hand throughout the whole process, helping us to craft the perfect ceremony for us, helped us write our vows, plus so many other incredible wedding top tips!!

On the day Miranda was simply a joy, we could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony. Even when the heavens opened miranda was quick on her feet to pivot the plan and make sure we did what we wanted to do before we got soaked!

Thank you for making our day perfect Miranda!

The Celebrant of JOY!

Miranda was an absolute JOY to work with - so diligent, so personal and just made our ceremony so special. She is so experienced that you feel in such special and safe hands. Her ceremonies feel personal, and they are - she spends time getting to know you and making sure your day runs smoothly. The heavens started opening with rain as I pulled up in the car to our church - it was very comforting to see Miranda’s smiling face with her colourful umbrella to greet me. We ended up having the best day - and the sun came out for us! I would recommend her!
