    Amazing day

    We would totally recommend Ruth for your big day .We had interviewed a few Celebrant for our wedding but nobody compared to Ruth. Right from the beginning Ruth made us both feel so comfortable as this was completely out of our comfort zone. From start to finish she guided us and on the day she came to the venue early making sure every little detail was correct as she knew how i wanted everything perfect. I had the most relaxed, easy ceremony/wedding. My feed back since the wedding has been what a lovely ceremony we had.
    Ruth made our wedding so special for us in everyway and we can not thank her enough.

    Aww thank you for your kind words Jo. It was an absolute honour to be chosen to help create and conduct your wedding ceremony. I do hope we brought a little piece of "La Dolce Vita" to a windy Suffolk!

    The best celebrant!

    Ruth was the celebrant for our wedding in July. From our first conversation with Ruth, we instantly knew we liked her. She has such a lovely, warm and friendly manner that put us at ease straight away. Throughout the whole process she was great to work with and she took the time to really get to know us as a couple.

    Ruth made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Every detail in the script reflected who we are, our story and what mattered most to us. She checked in regularly in the lead-up to the big day and made sure we were happy with every part of the script. There was never any pressure to include things we didn’t want. Ruth made sure the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted.

    The pre-wedding meet-up at the venue with Ruth was so helpful. She walked us through everything, answered every question and made sure we both entirely happy with the arrangements for our day.

    On our wedding day, Ruth arrived in plenty of time and immediately got everything organised. She made sure all the little details were in place, spoke with our suppliers, groomsmen and the bridal party to ensure everyone knew what to do. The ceremony she delivered was heartfelt, seamless and truly unforgettable. So many of our guests commented on how personal and special it felt. It was exactly what we wanted.

    Ruth is a wonderful lady and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. She made our vision of our wedding ceremony come true and we will always be grateful for the part she played in making our wedding day so perfect. Thank you Ruth!

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww Mariella thank you so very much for your very kind words. We had great fun planning your ceremony didn't we! I had such fun getting to know you both and felt truly honoured to be a part of your special day.

    Hire Ruth for a stress free ceremony

    Ruth did an amazing job officiating our ceremony. We were blown away by the level of care she took in making sure the entire ceremony was perfect. She got contact details from us and then reached out to all vendors on our behalf to let them know of important moments and queues for the day, ensuring not a special moment was missed by our videographer or photographer and having our dog be part of the ceremony was absolutely seamless as well. I told my now husband a week before the wedding "I already know we wont regret hiring Ruth because the one thing I'm not worried about at all is our ceremony being perfect". Ruth absolutely loves love and wants to celebrate your love with your partner. Book a consultation call with her and you wont regret booking her for your ceremony.

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww Deanna thank you for your very kind words, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you both and helping you create the wedding ceremony you dreamed of. Meeting your beautiful fur baby was of course an added benefit! Thank you again a review is genuinely the best gift you could give to my little old business.

    The best celebrant in the UK!

    We chose Ruth to be our celebrant after seeing her Instagram page and as soon as we spoke on the phone we knew she was the perfect choice. She was incredibly professional, organised and personable and took all our stress about planning our wedding ceremony away from the very first meeting. On the day Ruth was an absolute joy, she led the ceremony perfectly with a mix of emotion and humour which all our guests loved. She mingled perfectly with our guests and we honestly feel like she made our wedding day even more special. Her touches like printing our vows and sending them to us afterwards, as well as making the ceremony incredible personal to us made us feel like she had known us for years. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww Katie thank you for your very kind words, being a part of you special day was an absolute honour for me. I had such fun getting to know you both and helping you create your very personal and emotional ceremony. I will never forget the gorgeous smell of crushed rosemary in your ceremony space and Ruth's fabulous delivery of The Giraffe and the Monkey!!! Thank you again for choosing me as your lucky celebrant.

    Keeley & Tony Salisbury

    Ruth was our celebrant to our wedding in November 2025, she was nothing short of amazing. Her energy made myself, my wife and our daughter feel safe and confident leading up to the day. We knew we were in safe hands after our first zoom meeting. She took the time to know all 3 of us personally and let us trust the process.

    On the day of the wedding herself and Ruth’s husband David (The unsung hero of the day) made us both feel at ease and we knew the day was going to be beautiful. David took the time to help all the grooms men get ready and offered last minute of advice to us all, was made us feel ready. He’s also just a great person to be around.

    Once the ceremony was ready to start Ruth made sure, we both knew what we were doing, where to be and made sure we were ready before anything happened. Once she started the ceremony, she ensured the guest were engaged, laughing, confutable and that our script was personal to us. Which everyone loved and commented on how great she was!

    We’re both pleased that Ruth done our ceremony and helped made our day perfect. We would recommend Ruth to anyone.

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    What can I say that I haven't already shared with you both. I can't tell you how happy I am that you found your way into my celebrant world. You brought so many authentically heartfelt ideas to your ceremony planning that my job was simply to join the dots!!

    Wonderful Ruth

    Ruth conducted our ceremony a few weeks ago now and we are so glad we chose to have her! We first met Ruth 2 years ago at a wedding fair and booked her straight away! From then onwards we always had lots of contact with her all the way up to minutes before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was even better than we imagined it would be, personal, emotional and funny. Our guest loved it as much as we did too and commented how good Ruth was, so if you’re undecided on a celebrant, I urge you to do it and pick Ruth!! Thank you Ruth! Love S & C ❤️

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww Chris thank you for your kind words, it was my absolute honour to help create and then conduct your wonderful wedding ceremony. Your wedding seemed a lifetime away didn't it when we first met but I had such fun getting to know you both. I'll never forget the two of you trying to make a quick get away at the end of your ceremony....classic! Thank you again

    Tarsha & Ian's Wedding 29.8.2025

    From the second I spotted Ruth to talking to her at Downhall wedding fair last year i was saying to Ian she looks like Jane Fonda! 🥰 and that was it for me I was totally hooked on Ruth being our Celebrant,
    but so much more than that Ruth kept in contact with us all the way through the planning with video chats and then the run through at Downhall just before our day.
    On the Day of our Wedding Ruth looked stunning as she always does, her smile and friendliness has a way of resonating calm in people and her professionalism was key to a very smooth running Ceremony. Helen our lovely Photographer captured some of my favourite photos of Ruth which I will always treasure,

    We had so many Guests Commenting on how they absolutely loved the fun and yet very touching words that Ruth spoke using the information she gathered from us about missing loved ones and our story bringing tears of remembrance and laughter throughout the ceremony.
    Ruth conducted her part so passionately and captivated everyone in the room, some said it was the best wedding they've ever attended.

    We still get people talking about the day and Ruth is in my Phone as Ruth ( Jane Fonda) but more than that a friend who made our day something we will never forget.
    We love you Ruth and Thank you so much for being there for us...Tarsha & Ian Johnson 💜

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Well Tarsha and Ian what can I say about this review other than thank you from the bottom of my heart for your very kind words. What fun we had getting to know each other and working to create your oh so special wedding ceremony. I'll always remember the lovely long chat we had when we meet at the Down Hall wedding show. I'll be forever grateful you found your way into my celebrant world.

    What a fabulous celebrant !!

    Ruth was amazing, from the moment we met her at Martells Wedding village we knew she was the person to conduct our ceremony. Such a great character, sense of humour and really took time to learn our story and interpreted it beautifully. Ruth checked every detail with us, met us at our venue to run through things and on the day of our wedding ensured that everyone knew their role in the day and made everyone feel at ease. Ruth really made our day and all of our guests have commented on how Ruth really engaged everyone and reflected our sense of fun into everything. I would certainly recommend Ruth to anyone getting married - or any other event that requires a celebrant - she really is the best.

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww Janet thank you so very much for your kind words. What an absolute joy it was getting to know you both and oh what a laugh we had. Your wedding ceremony was filled with laughter from the moment the guests took their seats and I'm never going to forget the moment Tony tried to see what was written on the bottom of your shoes. That man cracks me up. Thanks for sharing these great photos.
