Our beautifully loving and symbolic Handfasting conducted by Shelley

I am extremely thankful that we were able to have Shelley conduct our Handfasting. We were blessed with good weather and able to be outside, which made it even more special. Shelley expertly put us at ease by calmly explaining the stages of the ceremony to us again. We did know and had prepared but, we were still quite nervous. She captured the moment so magnificently. The words were absolutely beautiful, the symbolic actions were so instrumental and being with friends and family made the whole experience truly emotional. We loved the fact that we were able to choose the colours of the rope to tie our hands together, ones that we liked and also for the meaning linked to the colours, which was individual to us. The tying of the infinity knot was amazing, we didn’t understand how it worked, but it did perfectly! What a truly magical celebration, thank you Shelley, you enabled us all to have glorious memories forever.

Hand Fasting for 2nd Anniversary

Shelley is such a lovely person she is professional, efficient and took so much time to craft our hand fasting ceremony. We were recommended Shelley from a friend and she did not disappoint, if you want an alternate ceremony and the joys or creating your own infinity knot then look no further.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hi,

I am Shelley, proud mum to two grown up children. Now that they are flying the nest, I felt that it was the right time for a career change. So, after 27 years in education, 18 of those being in Special Education, I felt that it was time to do something different with my life and at the start of 2025, I trained to become a civil celebrant.

I love that my new role allows me to meet people and hear their wonderful stories. I have always loved to write and have found that writing weddings, handfasting ceremonies and vow renewals that weave people's individual stories through their entire ceremony to be such a special thing to do.
