    An incredible celebrant!!

    When I first saw Ruth at the Alpheton barns open day I was drawn to speak to her, I didn't know much about celebrants but I knew after our conversation that she would be perfect!
    The pacing of the process of getting to know each other was great, Ruth sends out some questionnaires which were hilarious to fill in, and she has a knack of picking up what's special and unique about your relationship, and the story starts to write itself. As we started to put together what would be the parts of the day it really felt special, Ruth was always warm, always creative and was able to put into words exactly want we wanted to say to each other and all our loved ones.

    Our wedding day was fabulous, Ruth was there to meet and greet and really puts everyone at ease. The ceremony itself was all we hoped for and more, Ruth's delivery was excellent, we even managed to sail through a blunder while tying the knot.

    Ruth brings to a wedding a perfect way to tell your love story, your way. If you are looking for a celebrant who will go the extra mile to create the most wonderful experience, look no further.
    Thank you so much Ruth, you made our day!

    What a day we had

    Ruth really helped us pull together all of our ideas into a cohesive plan, she took the stress out of the actual day and her personable nature was just infectious. She got to know all of our key guests, she coached people throughout the day and yet somehow was always in the background not in the foreground.
    She was the icing on the cake.

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww thanks Sean for your very kind words and that was some wedding cake! Genuinely I had such fun getting to know you both and felt honoured to share your beautiful love story on your oh so special day.

    Ellise & Ben

    Ruth was an amazing celebrant, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better for our wedding. She made the ceremony so personal, relaxed, and meaningful, and helped us feel completely at ease throughout. Ruth took the time to get to know us as a couple and created a beautiful ceremony that reflected our story perfectly. She made us both feel completely at ease, and her calm, friendly presence helped make the whole day even more special.

    Our guests loved the ceremony, and we're so grateful for everything she did. We highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a wonderful celebrant. Thank you from Ben and Ellise!


    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    Aww Ellise and Ben thank you so very much for your kind words. What fun I had getting to know you both and what an honour it was to be a part of your very special day.

    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.

    Ceremonies by Ruth's reply:

    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!!
