Simply the Best! xx

We first met Miranda at Jenny’s brother’s wedding. She had crafted a beautiful ceremony for them which was full of warmth, love and celebration! I can truly say that we had never been to a wedding like it before!
Fast forward a few months and it was time for us to choose someone to lead our ceremony. While we had a (brief!) look around, we kept coming back to Miranda and that inviting and easy-going feeling she had instilled in us earlier in the year! We met up and it was so obvious that there was no one else that could have done it. Her kindness, empathy, and humour during the planning stages put us completely at ease and we knew we were in safe hands. What was really amazing was that Miranda really took the time to get to know us - she listened to our stories, talked about our hopes and dreams, how we met, how we felt, the funny times, the sad times, what we wanted in life, and every funny little quirk in between! She suggested some truly marvellous ideas for the ceremony which made it so unique to us.

The ceremony itself was incredible. She captured our story so well that you may have assumed she had been a fly on the wall for our entire relationship! From the second she arrived at the venue, a calm, serenity descended on everything. She co-ordinated with all of the venue staff, the photographers/videographers, and spoke at length to each family member to make sure they were all catered for as well. She really did go the extra mile and we cannot thank her enough. She even (potentially most importantly) asked the vital question to my two younger brothers, the best men, just before the ceremony started…. “Have you got the rings?”…. They didn’t…. And while I take responsibility for not physically giving them to them that morning, it is a perfect example of how professional and amazing Miranda is. She just quietly sorted any issues out and made the day run so smoothly. Our friends who came are still talking about how amazing she was and how engaging she made the ceremony.

We are so glad that we chose Miranda, the day would have been very different without her there. Her empathy, humour, and kindness clearly knows no bounds and she was instrumental in making the day so special. One that we will treasure and talk about forever - thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts! xxx

Miranda made our wedding the best!

Miranda truly made our wedding ceremony! She was amazing!! Really got to know us, our story and built a ceremony around it. We had people on the day and since say that its was one of their favourite ceremonies they'd seen because they left feeling like they knew us and our love better. I couldn't recommend Miranda more!!
So helpful outside of the ceremony as well, as someone who didn't have a planner or much help organising the wedding it was amazing to know I had someone else in my corner to help me sense check the 'usual' rules etc. She's fantastic!

Magical, lovely, attentive

We don't know where to start with the wonderful human being that is Miranda!

We met her at an alternative wedding fair and as soon as we walked in to the room we found ourselves drawn to her welcoming atmosphere. She made us feel right at home and after striking up conversation about what we wanted for our ceremony, she blew us away with her breadth of knowledge and plethora of supportive ideas. Even without confirming our booking with her, she had fully embraced our visions and was genuinely excited to see how it would all pan out.

Once we had booked, she got to work right away spending time listening to what we envisioned and adding her own ideas into the mix. Miranda brought an air of excitement, joy, knowledge and genuine passion to the planning that made us feel like we had made the perfect choice!

We met a few times to discuss our options and Miranda even took on working alongside my father to incorporate a handfasting and mead ceremony alongside the more traditional elements of a ring warming and vow exchange.

When the time came to write our ceremony and personal vows, Miranda sent us fantastic guides full of helpful hints and tips. We loved sharing date nights sat filling out fun and quirky questionnaires to share our stories with her. These turned out fantastic and we were thrilled when we received the first draft of our script giving us goosebumps ahead of the real thing!

On the day Miranda was incredibly helpful arriving early to help direct final preparations and calm last minute nerves. When all was ready to start she led a wonderfully moving, heartwarming and unforgettable ceremony.

We have had numerous compliments of just how special this part of our day was because of Miranda's words full of love and devotion. She spoke respectfully of our story covering all of the important details and guided us through the creation and delivery of our personal vows.

After the wedding day we received a wonderful selection of gifts, hand picked and thoughtful, which were incredibly personal and added a fantastic finishing touch alongside a printout of our ceremony and vows to keep and read whenever we want to look back on an incredible day.

We will be forever grateful for Miranda's guidance and contributions to our wedding day, we can't recommend her enough!

Miranda is honestly just a wonderful person all round and we can't wait for an excuse to hang out with her again some time soon.

Miranda is THE BEST!

Myself and my wife had the pleasure of being married by Miranda in a ceremony last month.
From start to finish, Miranda has been amazing. We felt looked after at every step of the way, with Miranda helping our day to feel that much more special.
Miranda's particular standout qualities include her ability to bring together all our personal anecdotes and in-jokes to the ceremony, her keen attention to detail and most of all her ability to control the guests while still making us feel like the centre of attention.
Miranda felt more than a Celebrant, she is someone who cares deeply about us and our marriage, and it truly felt like an old friend was leading the ceremony!
Miranda is an exceptional Celebrant, and we would recommend her to anyone thinking about having a Celebrant-led ceremony.

Original and heartfelt

The most magical of ceremony and worth every single penny, to be honest it's an absolute steal the amount of work Miranda puts in. She asks a few questions and then creates something to unique and magical and perfectly just for us!!
We loved our ceremony so much and cannot recommend Miranda highly enough.

When You Want the Wedding of Your Dreams

I can't even begin to express my gratitude and amazement for the hard work that Miranda did for our wedding. We live on the West Coast of the United States, and Miranda always met with us working around our schedules. She was patient, supportive, and gently nagging when needed. She made sure that every detail of our ceremony was what we wanted it to be, and encouraged us to remember that the ceremony was about us not everyone else. When we got overwhelmed she was there, when I completely forgot to order a thing she helped me sort it out. When we had issues with communication from the venue, Miranda was there to call them and ensure that everyone was on the same page. When we discovered that it was going to be a little warmer than comfortable in the ceremony space, Miranda ensured that there would be fans available for us so we didn't melt; she even let me borrow a fan for several hours after the ceremony ended! I can not express enough how wonderful it felt to have Miranda truly work to give us a ceremony and wedding day that reflected us as a couple. Thank you Miranda!

Highly recommended!

We’re so happy we found Miranda for our wedding celebration! Even though we live in the US, and weren’t able to meet in person before the day of the wedding, from the first call we felt the warmth and care that would go into the ceremony. It turned into a fabulous occasion that really reflected us as a couple.

Miranda was able to incorporate everything we wanted and created a truly special ceremony that felt warm, full of love, and had plenty of laughs. We really enjoyed the online meetings and the process of building the ceremony, too, with plenty of guidance when we needed it and all the time and care that went into making it feel perfect for us. She told our story wonderfully, made it feel light-hearted but with emotional, reflective moments, and left everyone glowing.

Not having to stress about the ceremony on the day was also brilliant - Miranda co-ordinated in the background with our photographer and made sure everyone was happy with their part. It went off incredibly smoothly and was a great way to start the day - everyone was left with huge smiles.

And my sister was so impressed that she immediately decided to book Miranda for her own wedding later in the summer! We really can’t recommend her enough, for everyone, and especially for LGBTQ+ weddings :)

Miranda the celebrant recommendation

We hired Miranda for our wedding vows in the summer of 2025 and we're blown away by her sheer professionalism and know how. It was such a weight of our minds to have Miranda every step of the way. In an area neither of us would have had much of an idea about previously, Miranda not only helped us write the vows but also became a fountain of knowledge on all things on the subject.

We never doubted that the ceremony she planned would be anything less than fantastic, and it was even better than that. We could not recommend Miranda enough.

Best Decision We Made For Our Wedding!

From our very first call with Miranda, we knew she was the perfect fit! She’s warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. We were planning a destination wedding in France, so choosing vendors can be stressful, especially when you’re looking for someone who is going to set the tone for such a special day. Best decision we made for the weekend was Miranda, hands down! She’s so charismatic and caring we just adore her.

She took the time to get to know both of us individually and worked closely with us to tailor a heartfelt ceremony that was personal and completely true to who we are and our story.

She also connected with our families the night before at the rehearsal, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was! Miranda is the reason our wedding day felt so special and we are endlessly grateful to her.

The best celebrant you ever did see!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding ceremony, all thanks to Miranda! From our very first call, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to get to know us. The ceremony she created was personal, fun, and full of thoughtful, unique touches. Our guests are still talking about it! Everyone loved the ring warming, the bucket list, and the surprise shots during the ceremony. So many people said it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever been to - fun, emotional, and anything but boring. Miranda went above and beyond, and even surprised us with a beautiful keepsake box including our vows, the script, and readings. Her energy and warmth were unforgettable, and we’re so grateful we found her. If you’re looking for a celebrant who truly cares and brings something special, Miranda is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!

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!

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.

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!
