Wedding Celebrants in South East - England

Debbie led a beautiful ceremony in our South London garden with all our friends and family present. It was just what we wanted. We already knew Debbie well as she's an old friend, so we trusted her and knew she'd do it a great job - which she did! We had already got 'legally' married in a registry office a few days before, but we wanted a fun and relaxed blessing in our garden with everyone there. It was perfect! Our stories are complicated, and Debbie navigated the slightly tricky family dynamics very well. We both come from very different backgrounds with our faith and beliefs - one of us from a christian background, and other an atheist. But Debbie handled this brilliantly and brought just the right touch of spirituality into the ceremony with some beautiful and subtle readings and blessings so that everyone felt comfortable and touched by what was said. So many people were moved by the ceremony and commented on how the readings and vows were so perfect. Debbie wove our scrambled ideas into beautiful words which told our story with humour and authenticity. Our garden wedding was lively, fun, loud and slightly chaotic - but Debbie commanded that ceremony with such a beautiful and confident presence - it was perfect.

Rebecca was celebrant at our wedding and she was perfect from start to finish - we couldn’t be happier or more grateful. Thank you so much!! The ceremony was our favourite part of the wedding day and all our guests commented on how special it was. Thank you so much for making our wedding day start with such a bang! It was beautifully delivered, so personal, so funny and the perfect representation of us as a couple. Rebecca made us feel so at ease throughout the process, was very responsive and so knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a celebrant - she is amazing! Thanks so much for everything you did xx

We’re so glad we chose Claire as our wedding celebrant! She created such a personal, calm, and memorable ceremony - it truly reflected us and felt so special. Claire guided us through the whole process, from helping with our vows to coming up with unique touches like a hand-fasting and pebble painting, which made the day feel completely our own. Our wedding took place at a house we’d hired on the coast, so we didn’t have lots of venue staff around, and it meant so much that Claire stepped in so naturally to help out - even helping to serve cake after the ceremony! It’s those thoughtful touches that made everything feel effortless and easy.

We had the absolute joy of having Nikki from Perfect Words Ceremonies as our celebrant for our wedding vow‑renewal, and we cannot praise her highly enough. Nikki has been with us on our journey for the past three years, and her support, kindness, and genuine care have meant the world to us. She created the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony — full of love, warmth, and personality. Our guests commented on how professional, calming, and truly lovely she was. Nikki has a natural gift for making people feel comfortable, cherished, and part of something special. She brought our story to life in a way that felt magical. Her attention to detail, her passion for what she does, and the friendship she offered throughout the process made everything feel effortless and exciting. We will miss her dearly. If you are looking for a celebrant who is talented, thoughtful, and pours her whole heart into your day, Nikki is exceptional. She helped make our ceremony unforgettable, and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. Perfect Words Ceremonies deserves five stars and more! Dawn & Chris Gibson xx

Kathy was absolutely incredible and such a huge part of making our wedding day what it was. She coordinated our entire day, and honestly, without her, it would not have run anywhere near as smoothly as it did. She was so helpful, accommodating, and informative throughout always one step ahead and making sure everything was taken care of. We didn’t have one worry that things wasn’t like go to plan because Kathy made sure it was all fine Her support meant everything to us, and she made the whole day feel calm and stress-free, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day. Even the lead up the Wedding we had several meetings with her staining from cats. Any worries she was there to comfort us honestly she exceeded our expectation massively We truly have so much to thank her for. Kathy, you were amazing, and we are so grateful for everything you did! THANKYOU FROM THE DEEPEST PART OF MY HEART ❤️

Where do we even start…. Colette put as at ease from the moment we booked, answered our varied questions patiently and even advised us on the process of booking our statutory ceremony to get the legal bit out of the way in readiness for our bespoke celebrant led ceremony… We knew after receiving the draft ceremony script which moved us to tears, that the ceremony would be memorable to say the least - however nothing prepared us for the actual day. Not only did Colette deliver a beautifully crafted ceremony featuring our family, friends and even a flying live owl as a ring bearer but she captured our love story and the essence of both of us flawlessly. Every single one of our guests absolutely loved the entire thing and we had so many lovely comments. Colette we cannot ever thank you enough for the most perfect ceremony. We couldn’t have thought of a better way to kick off our wedding celebrations and we’ll never forget the incredible roller coaster of laughter, tears and joy that made up our ceremony. Quite honestly we cannot recommend Colette more highly, if you’re looking for a celebrant led ceremony or you’re even remotely intrigued - she’ll guide, advise and support you along the way as she did for us. With love and thanks, The new Mr & Mr Bryant-Wilkinson x

Jenny was absolutely brilliant as our celebrant for the day. She brought such infectious joy and enthusiasm, and really set the vibe for the rest of the day. We had a fusion Jewish/ non Jewish wedding which she navigated perfectly ensuring both family’s wishes were met. She also sensitively ensured our absent family member was mentioned appropriately whilst keeping the day light and joyful. She wrote our story, having spoken with us and our friends, and had the congregation laughing, crying and nodding fervently throughout. We have had so many compliments on the ceremony, all thanks to Jenny’s hard work and wonderful personality. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for an enthusiastic, friendly, joyful celebrant to begin their special day.

Sally was just great, such a lovely lady and she gathered plenty of stories and moments from us that she cleverly weaved into a wonderful narrative for the ceremony. The whole thing felt really special and we loved it as an alternative to a church service as it was all about us. We would highly recommend Sally to anyone!

Having Janet as our celebrant was honestly the best part of our day. Our ceremony was so personal. All of our guests commented on how they learnt new things about us, loved how some many people were involved and most said that they cried (even the ones who’s never cry at weddings!). Janet was amazing: she came in with loads of ideas about what our ceremony could be like, whilst always just keeping it about our story. My favourite part was the sand ceremony which was her idea. As you can see from the photos, each member of our family had some coloured sand which then filled a little heart shaped jar. We now have that on our bookcase as a keepsake from the day. It’s so special. If I could give anyone a piece of advise for their wedding it would be get legally married in the registry office (it’s far cheaper) and have Janet as your celebrant. It was the BEST decision I made.
