Your Ceremony. Your Story. Your Way. Bespoke Wedding & Elopement Celebrant in Carlisle, Cumbria & the Lake District.

Dreaming of a ceremony that feels truly, authentically you? One that tells your story. Reflects who you are. And leaves your guests thinking — that was so them. That’s exactly what we create at Special Moments Celebrants. No Templates. No Scripts. Just You.

Based in the heart of Cumbria, I’m Clive — and I’ve spent over 20 years helping couples create ceremonies that feel real, personal, and unforgettable.

Whether you’re imagining:

•An intimate vow exchange on a Lake District fell

•A relaxed back-garden wedding in Carlisle

•A grand celebration in a beautiful Cumbrian venue

•Or a quiet elopement with just the two of you,

I’ll help you bring it to life. No two love stories are the same. So no two ceremonies should be either.

How It Works: It starts with a conversation. I’ll listen to your story — how you met, what you love about each other, what matters most to you. Then I’ll craft a ceremony that’s built entirely around you. Your words. Your way. Your moment. You’ll have full control over everything:•The tone (formal, relaxed, funny, emotional — or all of the above)•The content (family stories, readings, rituals, music)•The setting (anywhere you choose)My job is simply to guide you, support you, and make sure the day flows beautifully. Why Couples Choose Special Moments CelebrantsTruly Personal. Every ceremony is written from scratch. No templates. No generic scripts. Creative Freedom: Want something different? Brilliant.

Lovely Experience

Clive was so infomative, was the 1st to call me very quickly after I reached out to hitched. Really helpful, polite, friendly - despite me not being in a position to book him, this did not stop him spending time and offering me great advice.

Joyful Experience

Please choose Clive for your celebrant. You'll have tender care and ongoing conversation from the introductions to the big day. We got married at Corsewall Lighthouse, and Clive made it perfect. He was well prepared, kind, and generous, gifting us with a beautiful handfasting rope and more.

Wonderful Wedding Vow Renewal

For our wedding vow renewal we wanted a person who would make it personal to us, listen to who we are and be part of creating an amazing ceremony for us and our friends. Clive went above and beyond, he made such an effort to learn about us, and then delivered and led the most amazing ceremony we will remember for the rest of our lives. Moving, relevant to us, engaging and sometimes funny. We would wholeheartedly recommend Clive as your celebrant.

Mrs Jess McIntyre

I’m so pleased we booked Clive as our celebrant. We actually got married last year in a registry office but did our big reception this year and booked Clive to carry out the ceremony. Clive arrived two hours early and helped me calm my nerves. The ceremony was beautiful and Clive said some lovely words. It was so special and I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Clive 🥰

Clive is amazing

We have known Clive for many years as he did a wonderful christening for our eldest daughter...he has just done our youngest daughter naming ceremony plus our wedding vows on same day (kept secret from everyone!) Clive goes above and beyond to make the day so special for the whole family.. his words thoughts sentiment and humour just make for a wonderful service and day. He makes the main part of the day stress free and his warmth and caring nature shines through..he is amazing and would recommend him to anyone looking for a celebrant...

Made our day even more enjoyable!

Clive was amazing throughout, from our wedding planning process to the day itself. He kept us calm, relaxed and happy and tailored the ceremony specifically to meet our needs and wishes. No task was too much and we are so happy we chose Clive to carry out our social day.
Thank you so much Clive!

Clive did an amazing ceremony

Clive was recommended to us by a family member and he did not disappoint. He was always at the end of Zoom if we had a question or a concern and the work he put into personalising our ceremony was incredible. We do not regret choosing him one bit and would recommend him to anyone on the look out for a celebrant. Thanks so much, Clive! You really helped make our day so special ❤️

1000% Special weddingq

From the first second we spoke to Clive we knew he was the celebrant for us "The One". Throughout the whole process he was brilliant and made everything a breeze. The day itself was amazing from start to finish and Clive had us both down to a T, our characters, our love for each other and our humour. Everyone commented on how it was the best wedding they'd been to and how at ease they all felt which is exactly what I wanted. We honestly couldn't recommend Clive any more positively if we tried. One amazing guy.

Thank you so much

We cannot recommend Clive enough! All our guests commented on how friendly, funny and personal he is. We weren't sure how to pull together a sequel wedding, but Clive was there with us every step of the way offering his support and guidance, taking away any worries we had. If you want a celebrant who truly loves his job and cares about the couples he works with then Clive is the perfect man for the job. Thank you so much. Annabel and Mark

Brilliant personalised ceremony

Couldn't be happier with our beautiful ceremony conducted by Clive, it was very personal to us and Clive was reassuring, professional and helpful at every turn whilst we navigated getting married around Covid-19!
It was such a lovely and special ceremony and he even took pictures for us after. It was a beautiful way to start our married life together!

Excellent celebrant!

Clive is a wonderful celebrant, he took the time to listen to us and what we wanted from our ceremony. He ran through the outline of it with us ahead of the day so we could change any parts we wanted but also meant some of it was a surprise, which was lovely! The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and we would highly recommend him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
