Last update: July 2026

Philli Boyle, Your Celebrant, is an LGBTQ+ wedding celebrant based in London, working all over the UK and abroad. Her ceremonies are grounded and joyful, delivered with warmth and confidence.

Prior to being a wedding celebrant, Philli was a founding member of the charity Choose Love and worked there for 10 years as Director of Partnerships. Her work has always included creative writing, events, and public speaking, so it was no surprise when two friends asked her to be their wedding celebrant. She absolutely fell in love with the process of creating and officiating their ceremony, and this inspired her to train to offer the service to other couples.

Philli loves to take wedding guests on a journey through the couple’s story, cherished memories, hopes, and dreams, with plenty of laughter along the way. She loves poetry and is also writing a book, so she has lots of reading recommendations for you, too, if you need any.

Philli speaks fluent French and conversational Italian. All sexualities, genders, faiths, and spiritualities are welcome. If you’re interested, the first step would be a discovery call, at no charge, to see if it’s a good fit.

Special, unique and everything I could have wished for

Working with Philli was such a dream. From the first time we spoke it was an immediate warmth and attentiveness that made it clear that we were in the right hands for our wedding.

She was able to weave together a beautiful representation of our story as individuals and our relationship. Her script brought everyone through snapshots along the timeline of the tapestry of our life in such a genuine way. Her writing is charming and funny and totally respectful of the things we wanted to highlight or avoid.

She was always open to my notes, my feedback and any requests that made it so collaborative and fun to be a part of the process together. It made me have every single confidence that the day would be beautiful.

Throughout the day I had constant compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed the ceremony. Her script, her delivery, the tone and everything that was included made it feel very special. It was so lovely for us as a gay couple to know that our celebrant was not only joyously celebratory of our story but also so respectful and supportive of queer/LGBT people.

I feel very lucky that we got to have her.

Beautiful, thoughtful and personal

Exactly what we needed for leading up to the wedding as well as conducting the wedding itself!

Philli had an immediate warm energy when we met and we knew she'd be able to project to a large room of guests on the day.

She asked all the right questions to understand our relationships roots, what's important to each of us and what marriage means to us. All of this was then used to write the wedding ceremony which we were able to leave comments on and ask for revisions where needed. The tone and writing was really well suited to what we had asked for!

What I found most useful was she could act as a mediator between myself and my husband's vows. Letting us know individually if they complimented each other's and not one of us had written way more than the other etc. This alleviated a lot of worry leading up to the day.

On the day, she delivered a wonderful ceremony and even had printed our vows on cue cards, so no need to worry about forgetting your speech once you've walked the aisle. I can't recommend Phili more, she was brilliant beginning to end.

A Joy to Work With and Such a Special Part of Our Day

Philli is such a warm, thoughtful and genuinely lovely celebrant. She was an absolute joy to work with and such a big part of making our wedding feel special. She’s a great listener, very organised and puts so much care into all the little details.

Philli also has such a nice way of delivering a ceremony. She’s warm, natural and really engaging, with just the right amount of humour and sincerity. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant who will make their ceremony feel really special.

Personal, warm and full of joy

We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant than Phili. From the moment we met her, she went above and beyond to get to know us as a couple, taking the time to understand our story and what mattered most to us.

The ceremony felt so personal, warm and full of joy. One of our favourite parts was how she carefully sprinkled in jokes and stories from our past...They were thoughtful, perfectly timed, and had everyone laughing while still feeling incredibly meaningful. It struck the perfect balance between humour and emotion.

Philli made us feel completely at ease and created a ceremony that genuinely reflected who we are. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how engaging and heartfelt it was.

We couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Philli, for making our wedding day so special... We'll never forget it.

10/ 10 for Philli the Celebrant, she was spectacular!

Philli was the celebrant at mine and my husband's wedding day in August 2025.

From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was the perfect person to marry us. Not only is she highly organised, thoughtful and full pf positivity, she has a modern edge and a creative streak which we didn't see in any of the other celebrants we considered.

Throughout our wedding journey, Philli went out of her way to get to know us as a couple, but also as individuals. She helped us make decisions when we were stuck, which felt original and right for us as a couple. By the time we reached the big day, it felt more like we were being married by a friend than a stranger. One thing I particularly loved about Philli was her attention to detail - I recall her wanting to check what our wedding colours were, so she didn’t clash with us or our best people.

On the day itself, Philli was calm and full of positivity and love. The ceremony was completely faultless and ran exactly as we wanted.

10/ 10 for Philli the celebrant. She elevated our wedding day, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her.

A radiant and inclusive celebrant

We were looking for a celebrant who was ready to embrace our perspective on how we wanted the ceremony to be run. It wasn't going to be too different than an average one, but it was important to make it our own. Philli was a perfect choice in many ways: she was flexible, available and ready to help us make it a fully unique experience. She even spoke in french for my family! But it was the beaming smiles and openness that she radiated during the ceremony that really bowled us over. We felt like the luckiest couple on the planet during that ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
