Super organised, great Celebrant !

Anna worked with us recently and our ceremony turned out to be everything we hoped it would be and more. The words she said made the whole thing just the best day and she had lots of ideas of how to involve other members of the family (which we would never have thought of). Great service, lovely lady, best celebrant!

Fantastic! This is the celebrant you want - don't look at any others!!

How do you choose the right celebrant? We contacted quite a few, and as soon as we met Anna, and her infectious, positive, bubbly personality we knew we had picked the right person.
The journey with Anna was excellent - from our first meeting she wrote a ceremony that was fantastic - it made us laugh, made us cry, and her creative writing style made a heartfelt story.
The actual wedding day was the best. Anna had us all organised, we knew what was going to happen when, and her organisation and confidence took all the stress away from us.
She made our ceremony so unique and special we can't thank her enough.
Don't choose anyone else if you are looking for a celebrant - I cannot recommend Anna highly enough - you won't be disappointed!

Wedding ceremony

Anna is just wonderful. Positive, organised, full of ideas and energy and with a great sense of fun. Such a friendly lady and she made it really easy to work with her. She wrote the perfect ceremony for us and we are so very grateful to her for making our days so special. Thank you so much!

We couldn't have asked for a better service from Anna!

From the beginning Anna really took the time to get to know us as a couple and listen to our story. Asking lots of questions enabling us to include parts of our time together that we probably wouldn’t have remembered to include or thought about without her. This created a ceremony which was a perfect reflection of our love story. It was heartfelt, personal and delivered perfectly. Many of our guests commented on how special the ceremony felt. We’re so grateful for Anna and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a celebrant that truly cares about making your ceremony unique and meaningful.

Excellent service/support/preparation and presentation.

After contacting Anna we had a face to face meeting. We chatted about our lives both together and independently then Anna prepared a transcript with plenty of suggestions for additional items to create those special memories. Would definitely recommend using Anna for her services.

Renewal Of Vows Ceremony

Anna officiated our renewal of vows ceremony and it was nothing less than fantastic. She put in a huge amount of time and effort into writing the ceremony, giving us ideas on what we could include. We started with a blank sheet, with no idea of what we wanted, and what we got exceeded our expectations. Communication with Anna was brilliant, and she even sort out engraved unity wine glasses for us. Nothing was too much trouble and she a hugely positive and helpful person. A true delight to work with.

Anna made our ceremony absolutely perfect

We cannot recommend Anna enough. She is the most lovely lady, and nothing was too much trouble from our first meeting to the day of the ceremony. She was a total star, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We absolutely loved the ceremony she wrote for us, and we had such positive feedback from our friends and family saying it was by far the best wedding service they had ever attended! The service she wrote and delivered was personal, romantic, had a really good element of humour (which is what we wanted), and heartfelt.

Absolutely 11 out of 10!! We both thoroughly recommend her.

Thank you so much, Ginny. It was my absolute pleasure to be part of your special day.
I would like to say I organised the beautiful sunshine we had as well!
Wishing you both a very happy future

Heartfelt and Personalised Wedding Celebrant

We highly recommend Anna as your wedding celebrant. Anna met with us twice before the big day, taking the time to understand our story and preferences. Her attention to detail and warm, professional demeanour made us feel at ease. The practice session ensured everything ran smoothly. She truly made our day unforgettable.

A wedding with a story

Anna made our wedding personal and special, we met ups and she asked us all sorts of questions about how we met and our history, why we were getting married and it was all quite unexpected. I'd been to quite a few friends weddings and there are readings and poems and a few funny anecdotes but they are usually much the same sort of format. Anna put together our story and told it in a most entertaining and lovely way so all present could know our story and everyone got good few laughs including us. It made it all the more special than we already thought things would be and we had several people come up to us later and say that she was so much better than their celebrants so we can most certainly say that she comes highly recommended :)
Thanks again Anna x
