Silver Bee Ceremonies

We are so grateful to have had Stephanie as our wedding celebrant! From our very first meeting, her warmth and professionalism made the entire journey very easy. She took the time to understand our love story, and her vivid style captivated our guests, making each moment feel personal and heartfelt. She struck the perfect balance between sincerity and fun, exactly reflecting our personalities and the vibe we wanted for our wedding.

The ceremony was beautifully tailored to us, with thoughtful touches like the ringwarming and anecdotes from our family and friends which all our guests loved. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

Stephanie was really great to work with. We did most of our communication with her via zoom and a 12 hour time difference, she was very flexible, timely and easy to communicate with. Even with a slight hiccup the week of the wedding she adjusted our ceremony accordingly. She did a wonderful job , we feel she conveyed the feel we wanted for our day and would highly recommend her!

Stephanie was amazing! We had a quick wedding turnaround of only 6 weeks. Steph was diligent, organised, professional & light hearted. She captured what we wanted for the day perfectly, helped us write our vows, made the ceremony super personal and allowed us to help with the love story. She directed the crowd too and made the day super special! Thanks so much steph, would recommend to anyone in berkshire / london area looking for a great celebrant!

Stephanie was the perfect celebrant for us. From the start, she was professional, responsive and attentive to what we wanted for our wedding ceremony. Amidst the stress of planning a wedding, Stephanie was an ever reliable and reassuring presence throughout.

Overall, we felt the service was excellent value for money, not least as she was so accommodating and went out of her way on various occasions, always enthusiastically. She came to the venue months in advance and off the back of one meeting, she seemed to perfectly capture in her script the balance between sentiment and humour that we wanted. She also did a lot of work in the background, liaising with our close friends and family for "marriage advice", which became a key feature of the ceremony.

Stephanie stayed responsive and accommodating right up until the big day and came to the venue a couple days before for a dress rehearsal, all on terms that suited us. She always made us feel like she would accommodate our schedules and what was best for us.

On the day itself, we were touched to see how much she cared. Her performance on the day was flawless. So many of our guests have since commented that the ceremony was perfect, wonderfully personal and well put together, and that Stephanie was brilliant. We would recommend Stephanie without any reservation.

Stephanie was one the best decisions we made about our wedding day. From the initial planning meeting, through to meeting Stephanie in person, to talking through the ceremony right to our big day, we had multiple meetings where Stephanie really took the time to get to know us and all about our story and that’s all we really wanted from a humanist ceremony. We wanted someone who knew all about us and could really express that to our friends and family, and Stephanie did that in such a beautiful and emotional way, it really brought a unique atmosphere to our ceremony. We received so many wonderful remarks and comments about how amazing Stephanie was afterwards and I’m so glad we took the time to research and find someone as good as Stephanie to lead our ceremony! I can only apologise that it has taken 6 months for me to express my gratitude!!!

We chose Stephanie for our older son's naming ceremony 2 years ago, and absolutely loved the entire experience, so when we decided to get married this year, it was absolutely no question who we would ask to lead our ceremony!

She has everlasting patience, particularly trying to hold an interview with us around our chaotic children, with total professionalism and good humour! Her calm demeanour helped us stay grounded throughout the planning process and the wedding day.

The ceremony itself was everything we had hoped for and more; it really came together perfectly in the end, and that’s mostly down to Stephanie's expert guidance. She gave us total freedom whilst helping us keep a structure that flowed beautifully.

Everyone at the wedding said how special the ceremony was, and how unique and meaningful it was. For many of our guests it was their first experience of a Humanist celebration and we have received countless compliments!

It was so special to be able to celebrate another milestone with Stephanie, and we have already booked her for the naming ceremony of our other son - can't wait for the Hat-trick to be complete!

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts!

Stephanie was absolutely sensational from the first day.

There’s something so lovely about being able to tell your Love Story during your ceremony, and Stephanie did such an amazing job!

She made our day so special.

She listened to our own little stories, and anecdotes from our friends and family and turned them into something beautiful.

I highly recommend choose Silver Bee Ceremonies. It’ll be the best decision you make while planning your special day! 💕

Thank you so much Stephanie, for making it so special

Stephanie was the best. She gets you thinking about all the right things prior to your big day. If you have firm ideas about all of it or certain aspects she actions them to ensure they happen, smoothly and calmly, on the day. If you have half ideas or are a bit lost about aspects of your big day she is great at talking it though and getting from you what she needs to formulate your ideas into a coherent and thoughtful plan. She is a communications professional and while there is nothing corporate about what she does, (our experience was always personal and bespoke) this back ground makes Stephanie extremely effective and reassuring. I was a little unsure about our actual ceremony prior to meeting Stephanie and after discussing it with her, it all fell into place. In addition there were nice touches and flourishes that made the day special. We were congratulated by all our friends and family on the loveliness of our ceremony and what's more, with Stephanie on board we didn't have to worry about or instigate any of it. If we had to do it all again Stephanie would be top of our list.

Stephanie performed our wedding ceremony in early January 2020. She was fantastic from start to finish. We spent weeks trying to find the right celebrant and once we had spoken to Stephanie we knew she was the one for us. We met for an initial chat to talk about our relationship and how we wanted our ceremony to be. A couple of weeks later Stephanie returned a beautiful draft script which we then worked on together to get it just right – it was a really special process.

On the day Stephanie was calm and organised and made sure everything ran without a hitch, having answered countless questions from us and readers along the way. It was a magical ceremony which brought a tear to everyone’s eye and so many of our guests commented on how personal it was – exactly what we’d wanted to achieve. We couldn’t recommend Stephanie more as a wedding celebrant – thank you for helping to make our day so special. Sarah and Andy

We wanted to convey our thanks for such a touching and personal ceremony. I know that all of my friends loved the fact that they were part of it, and have even mentioned that they would do a similar ceremony now that they have seen first-hand a celebrant hand-fasting. The whole day was magical, and this was the icing on the cake. Shelley and Emma

What an amazing day we had, the ceremony was beautiful, thank you for putting it all together for us. We had so many comments about it. I think everyone really felt the love on the day and the way you told our love story was beautiful. We are so glad we choose to have a personal ceremony. Thank you so so much. Emma and Tom

We were both in agreement that we wished to have a non-religious service for our wedding. When we met Stephanie we had no doubt that she was the perfect celebrant to lead our Humanist wedding. She was professional, well-spoken, sincere and made us both feel incredibly at ease. We had countless compliments from our guests, praising Stephanie on her unique and personal ceremony. One of our guests even asked if Stephanie knew us as she was so personable and delivered our story as if she were a friend. We can’t thank her enough for making our day everything that we wished for and more. Anita and James

Stephanie was warm, professional and supportive throughout our whole wedding experience. She gave us the ceremony we were truly hoping for and we got so many lovely comments from our guests about our wedding ceremony. It was tasteful, inclusive and reflected what is most important to us as a couple, with the odd moments of humour delivered perfectly! Stephanie helped us throughout the whole process from deciding how we would like our ceremony to look and feel to writing our vows and making sure it all fit together perfectly.

The ceremony went perfectly and I think you were the highlight of everyone’s day and also wedding history for most of them! Everyone was so complementary of you and Tom and I couldn’t have asked for anything else. I think one of the nicest things ones of Tom’s friends said was that you made him understand what marriage was about. Tess and Tom.

We loved our day and are so thankful for your part in it. So many of our guests commented on how fun and relaxed the ceremony was, and the ring warming was hugely popular with everyone! The handfasting was such a lovely way to get the girls involved, and again we have had many comments on this too. Thank you for your support on the run up to it as well, it was lovely getting to know you during the process. Danae and Nick
