SMS Celebrant | London Civil Celebrant | Personal, Story-Led Ceremonies

Your story is where we begin.

Founded by Samantha Maria Simon, SMS Celebrant is a London-based celebrancy service that creates heartfelt, beautifully written wedding ceremonies that feel personal, meaningful and completely yours.

I’m Samantha, a Civil Celebrant and creative writer who loves storytelling, poetry and finding the right words for the moments that matter. I believe the little things are often what make a relationship special: the inside jokes, the memories, the habits, the milestones and all the moments that brought you here.

My role is to take those pieces of your story and turn them into a ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple.

The Written Promise

My signature ceremony experience is created around your story and written with intention, so that when you hear your ceremony for the first time, it feels like it could only belong to you.

From our first conversation through to your wedding day, we’ll work together to create a ceremony filled with personality, warmth and meaning, with all the little details that make your relationship yours.

Just perfect! 😊

We honestly couldn’t recommend Samantha enough! ❤️ From our very first meeting, we clicked straight away. It genuinely felt like we were chatting with an old friend and she just understood us as people. We loved every conversation with her and knew from the very beginning that she was the perfect person to be part of our wedding day.

Throughout the whole process, Samantha’s communication was amazing. She kept us updated, made sure we felt comfortable and supported and was always so lovely to deal with. On the morning of the wedding, as soon as we saw her, our nerves just melted away. She has such a calm, warm and reassuring presence, which made such a difference on a day filled with so many emotions.

The way Samantha wrote and delivered our ceremony was truly something special. Her words were so eloquent, beautiful and heartfelt, and she captured my husband and I so perfectly. She has such an incredible gift for both writing and speaking and it was clear how much thought, care and love she put into creating a ceremony that felt so personal to us. It was without a doubt one of the highlights of my day. 🥹❤️

Our guests have continued to mention how wonderful Samantha was and how beautiful her words were. Even now, we still talk about how thankful and glad we are that we chose her to be our celebrant. Looking back, we honestly couldn’t imagine anyone else telling our story in such a beautiful way.

Beyond being an incredibly talented celebrant, we feel so lucky to have gained a friend in Samantha too! She made our experience so special from beginning to end, and we will always be grateful for the part she played in our wedding day.

We couldn’t recommend Samantha enough. You would be so lucky to have her as part of your special day! 🤍✨ Thank you so much Samantha for everything! 🫶🏼💖

Fantastic service!

Samantha was fantastic from beginning to end! She took her time to get to know me and my partner and created a ceremony script that truly reflected us. We are still receiving complements from guests who attended the ceremony about how heartfelt and touching her words were. She even took the time to learn our native language and said a few words perfectly in Amharic during the ceremony. Everyone was so impressed! Samantha was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her more!

Fantastic experience, 100% recommended

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Samantha as our celebrant. From our very first conversation, she made us feel at ease and completely understood the kind of ceremony we wanted, something meaningful and emotional, but also full of warmth and laughter. On the day itself, she absolutely delivered.

Samantha struck the perfect balance between serious and lighthearted, creating a ceremony that felt deeply personal without ever feeling formal or stiff. She told our story with such care, humour and authenticity that it felt like she had known us for years. The atmosphere she created was so genuine and welcoming, many of our guests told us afterwards how special it felt, and even those whose first language isn’t English said they were moved and fully engaged throughout.

It’s rare to find someone who can bring so much warmth, empathy and professionalism to such an important moment, but Samantha did exactly that. She guided us gently through every step, made sure we were relaxed on the day, and created memories we’ll have forever.

Samantha is a truly wonderful celebrant

From the moment we met Samantha, we knew we were in the best hands. She brought such warmth, care, and genuine attention to every detail of our ceremony that it felt truly personal and heartfelt. Samantha took the time to get to know us — our love story, our personalities, our hopes. She took the time to read our love letters to each other over the years, offer feedback on our vows, and write an original heartfelt poem that was shared during the ceremony. Samantha wove together a ceremony so beautiful that our guests are still talking about how meaningful and touching it was.

Her calm presence and gentle guidance put us completely at ease, and their professionalism, combined with such kindness made the whole process joyful and stress-free. Samantha is more than a Celebrant to us; she is now a dear friend who supported us through one of the most special days of our lives.

We can’t recommend Samantha highly enough — if you’re looking for someone thoughtful, attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further. She made our wedding ceremony everything we’d dreamed of — and more.

Great experience with SMS celebrant.

Samantha was an incredible vendor to work with. She was kind, patient, and took the time to really get to know us as a couple, ensuring she could capture our unique story. She even wrote us a beautiful, heartfelt poem, which my cousin read during the ceremony—it was such a lovely and personal touch that made the day feel even more special. We’re so grateful for everything Samantha did to make our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Samantha is amazing

We were 100% set on a celebrant wedding, we spoke with 4 celebrants who were all great but we chose Samantha, she writes poems and it stuck with me and my husband as we love poetry/spoken word. Samantha was very helpful from when we first met to when she left on the wedding day, she felt like our family, she offered us advice when we needed it and came to rehearsals we had also! The poem she created for us was a hit with everyone, I had goosebumps and smiles while she read it! Everyone said they loved how she delivered the ceremony it was amazing! Samantha thank you so much I wish you nothing but more success
