The Johnsons

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding celebrant. From the moment we met, Kerrie made us feel completely at ease and took the time to create the most beautiful, personal ceremony that was perfect for us and everyone involved.

She made our day so special, and the ceremony is a memory we will truly treasure forever. We couldn't have trusted anyone better with such an important part of our wedding, and we're so grateful for everything she did.

We would recommend her to absolutely anyone and everyone—10000%! Thank you for a better ceremony than we could have ever imagined🤍

Just book her! Do it, you WILL NOT regret it!

From our very first virtual meeting, we just knew Kerrie was “the one”! Even over Zoom, her warmth and dedication shone through, she is absolutely wonderful and so happy in her work.
The first time we met in person was an hour before our wedding and we instantly felt like she was a family friend or relative, she shared in our excitement and greeted us like an old family friend.
Kerrie’s service was like nothing we had ever experienced, it was totally personalised, inclusive of everyone in the room and she has a real talent for making everyone feel part of the ceremony with her little personalised touches.
Our son, who doesn’t have the greatest track record with weddings 🙈 said that “the lady made me feel interested”, I can’t express how highly this praise should land!!!
Our 83 year old beautiful Flower Granny said that she had never witnessed anything so beautiful in all of her life!
Please book Kerrie, she is truly wonderful and you will too have the most special memories of your day!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything ❤️🥹

Luke and Jenny's Wedding. Townhead Estates June

We were lucky enough to attend my youngest son's wedding to the beautiful Jenny at Townhead Estates in June.

The lovely Kerrie officiated as the celebrant on their special day. She delivered a personal service that was full of warmth, gentle humour and love. Above all she managed to bring that extra sparkle to the day. A magical presence that exudes a quiet confidence of a truly professional and calm celebrant. I know Jenny and Luke chose well. They loved every minute and will always cherish those memories. Kerrie spoke like she had known them for years and I can assure you there was barely a dry eye between the smiles during the ceremony.

My grandson, only three, became an integral part of his parents special day and was welcomed and included in every part of the service. I have never attended a celebrant service before and I can honestly say she bound the couple together beautifully and united the guests from across the world. Different cultures and different religions bound together in happy unity. Thank you Kerrie we loved every minute.

The perfect celebrant for our celebration ♥️

Kerrie has been part of our journey for over 5 years, where she was originally going to be our celebrant in Dubai in 2020! Thanks to Covid the big wedding didn’t happen and we had to rethink plans, but we were so pleased when Kerrie jumped at the chance to help us renew our vows in the UK 5 years later! ♥️

Kerrie goes above and beyond and super easy to communicate and plan with! We put all our trust in her delivering our ceremony and she did not disappoint! It was funny, personal and engaging. Everyone complimented us on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and the beautiful words said, and that is all down to Kerrie. She even reached out to our friends in Dubai who could not attend the ceremony, to share their well wishes to us! This was truly so special and thoughtful! thank you for sticking with us and delivering a beautiful ceremony to remember.

Amazing celebrant!

Kerrie was our celebrant for our wedding in March 2026 and was absolutely wonderful - we cannot recommend her highly enough!

My wife and I didn't really have a clue and Kerrie talked us through the whole process and kept us right throughout. Kerrie made us feel at ease from the get go and we couldn't thank her enough.

If you're looking for a celebrant, please do not hesitate to book Kerrie!

A beautiful voice

Kerry was the celebrant at my brothers wedding. Kerry had a beautiful energy, engaging with the crowd and adjusted the script perfectly depending on what was happening in the room (hello dogs running around/children talking!) Above all else I was mesmerised by Kerrys beautiful voice and how she captured their love story. Thank you

Mel & Matthews Wedding 15th November 2025

From the very beginning, Kerry felt like more than just a supplier — she felt like a calm, reassuring presence we could completely trust. She listened so carefully to what we wanted and put so much love and thought into every detail. On our wedding day, Kerry was incredible. Her warmth, kindness, and professionalism allowed us to fully relax and be present, knowing everything was in safe hands. She went above and beyond in ways we will never forget, and her genuine care meant the world to us. Kerry is someone we will genuinely remember forever, as she played such a special part in one of the most important days of our lives. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple.

Truly one of a kind ⭐️🐝

Kerrie is, quite simply, one of a kind. From the very first interaction, her caring and kind nature, combined with her gorgeous, bright personality, instantly warmed every room. She has such a special presence, and that alone makes her extraordinary.

Our ceremony was completely bespoke, deeply personal and utterly us - and that is entirely thanks to Kerrie. She treated our ceremony with such gentleness and love, thoughtfully incorporating the most delicate and meaningful details that meant so much to us. Knowing that she even wrote parts of our ceremony under the light of the moon beside a beautiful lake makes it even more magical and special to us. We had a beautiful hand-fasting ceremony, and Kerrie surprised us with a beautiful piece of rose quartz for us both to hold.

What made that moment even more powerful was something Kerrie couldn’t possibly have known at the time. One of our guests has a deep and personal connection to rose quartz through her late mother (my husband’s grandmother). Kerrie had placed the piece of rose quartz beneath a random chair at our ceremony, so a guest would find it and be able to be a part of our ceremony. She had unknownly placed the quartz under my husbands Aunties chair, and in that moment it felt like a sign that she was with us in pure energy during our ceremony. It was such a moving and unforgettable experience. It brought my husbands Aunt to tears.

Kerrie didn’t just officiate our wedding - she brightened it. Her warmth, care and calm guidance made the ceremony feel intimate, emotional and unforgettable. She understood us completely and captured our story in the most beautiful way.

Communication with Kerrie before, during and after our wedding was absolutely flawless. We always felt supported, listened to and truly cared for. We honestly could not recommend her highly enough.

If you are considering Kerrie, know that you are choosing someone truly exceptional who will create something magical, meaningful and unforgettable. 🐝⭐️🤎

We can't recommend Kerrie enough!!

From the moment we met Kerrie, we instantly clicked and knew she was the one to guide us through our wedding ceremony back in April 2025. She brought an incredible attention to detail to every part of the process, ensuring nothing was overlooked and everything felt personal and meaningful.

Kerrie was wonderfully responsive—always on hand on email and WhatsApp throughout the lead-up to the wedding, ready to throw ideas around, answer questions, and offer reassurance whenever we needed it. She is full of creativity, and her suggestions helped shape a ceremony that truly felt like “us”. She also worked with family to put together readings for the ceremony, making them feel supported and confident.

On the day, Kerrie was a calming influence and a beautiful presenter—professional, warm, and composed. Her tone carried such calm and beauty that elevated the entire moment.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Kerrie made our ceremony unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had her by our side. We can't recommend her enough!!

Absolutely phenomenal

Kerrie, where do we start?!

From start to finish, you were absolutely incredible. We have no words for how special you made our ceremony. The personal touch of your words made the day. For two people who are quite reserved, you brought us the confidence to have the most meaningful ceremony. Every single guest commented on how it was the best ceremony they’d seen. You knew us so well and pitched the words perfectly!

We can’t thank or recommend you enough! If anyone is considering having Kerrie as a celebrant, just do it! We are so grateful to have found you and had you as you really did make our day!

Thank you so much!

The best decision you’ll make for your dream wedding!

When we first spoke to Kerrie, we knew we couldn’t be without her. She asked us questions in the initial call that we hadn’t even considered. So we knew we’d be in safe hands. Kerrie kept in touch for the entire lead up to the wedding and was always so positive and kind. Even with some more sensitive aspects, she dealt with them with the care and attention they needed.
Our guests couldn’t get over how unique our ceremony was, most saying they had never experience anything like it. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted - full of laughter and lots of love; we recommend her without a second thought.
Thank you so much Kerrie. You made our wedding more than we could’ve dreamed for!

Highlight of our wedding day

Kerrie created the most special, personal and beautiful ceremony for us, and it was truly a highlight of our day.
She took the time to get to know us, and our ceremony really reflected that, with lots of mentions of Lord of the Rings and being weirdos! It was so beautifully written and we all laughed, cried, and beamed with happiness. She also included lots of symbolic elements to our ceremony, such as a handfasting, drinking from a quaich and our guests blessing our rings.
She even went out of her way to make all those involved feel comfortable, like nervous nephews and worried mothers.
She's an absolute superstar and we would 1000% recommend her!

The PERFECT celebrant

We chose Kerrie to be our celebrant for our wedding on 03/07/25 at hidden river barn, and it’s the best decision we made. From the very moment we spoke to Kerrie for the first time we knew we’d made the right decision. The knowledge, kindness, professionalism and detail that she provided from the start to finish was exceptional. Kerrie always made sure to keep in contact with us, making sure we had all the information we needed. As for the day, Kerrie was brilliant in her support for myself and my wife, aswell as the bestman. She made sure we all knew our roles for the day. Kerrie produced an amazing ceremony along with a beautiful poem that including personal touches from our relationship that she’d managed to learn from getting to know us over the last 2 years. EVERY single guest said how wonderful she was after the wedding. We can’t recommend her enough. Thanks so much Kerrie for helping our day be perfect.
