Fantastic , thoughtful & kind

Kerrie is nothing short of amazing. She conducted our vow renewal ceremony and it was a thoroughly special experience. Kerrie was very kind, a total professional. We had our 4 kids with us and Kerrie worked really hard to include the children in our ceremony which was very special for us. We would recommend Kerrie for your special occasion x

Amazing ceremony - Thank you Kerrie

Kerrie was incredible to work with right from the start! We had an initial zoom call where she found out all about us and what was important to us. As the months went by she found out more about us both so that she could tailor our ceremony perfectly to us and our family. She included our children and really made them feel part of everything which was really important to us. I would 100% recommend having a celebrant led service and we received so many compliments about how incredibly unique and special our service was. We had lots of people in tears and full of love and emotion because Kerrie made everything so special for us. Thank you Kerrie…you really made our day so special.

Thank you for everything!

Well, where do I even begin to Thank Kerrie.

Our journey started in Dubai back in 2019, where we instantly knew that Kerrie was “the one” she was warm, compassionate, honest and the best thing ever, she was Northern!

March 2020, 5 days before we were due to get married, pandemic struck all events cancelled. We were devastated, kerrie was our rock and couldn’t have been a better support and a friend during that time.

Fast forward 2 years of where/when/how conversations.. We decided to go for it and booked a wedding back home in the North east in 6 weeks time and could you believe it, Kerrie could do it for us! We were thrilled.

Amazing doesn’t cut, she took so mucj time with Aidan and I. Met us separately, together and communicated at each step. Kerrie even called our parents to get the whole picture of us, she goes the extra mile.. She really cares about people and its shines.

Our ceremony in February was more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. All our guests talked about was “the service” so personal, so unique and so us! Geordie and Scottish traditions brought together.

My Grandparents said never in their 85 years on earth have they witnessed something so beautiful and personal.

Thank you Kerrie for EVERYTHING!

I can’t recommend this lady enough. We are so grateful ♥️

Simply Perfect

Kerrie, where do I start?
We are so incredibly grateful for everything you did for us. From our very first meeting with you, we knew that you would create something utterly magical. Throughout the process, Kerrie was accessible and took the time to get to know us, both individually, but also as a couple. She just completely got us.
On the day, Kerrie was so calming, and kind, and made us both feel completely at ease. The ceremony itself was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. A perfect combination of funny, personal, emotional and everything in between. We really felt like she'd captured us perfectly as a couple. Kerrie added personal elements throughout the ceremony, and perfectly involved our guests within these. Both on the day, and in the week following, so many of our guests have commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, and how beautifully personal it was. It was completely perfect, and set the tone for the rest of our day. It was the highlight of our day, without question, and we will never be able to thank Kerrie enough. We are so so lucky to have found you, and couldn't recommend you strongly enough. Honestly Kerrie, thank you for making our day something we could have only dreamed of, and giving us memories to cherish forever.

The most beautiful wedding ceremony

Kerrie did such an incredible job writing and delivering our ceremony. She managed to capture both of our personalities and our relationship so so well. The ceremony was absolutely perfect for us, she kept it light hearted but still super emotional and meaningful. She brought the memory of loved ones in to the ceremony in such a tasteful way, and made our families, bridal party and groomsmen feel very much a part of the ceremony. She was amazingly patient with the dogs and the little ones and so many people have told me how beautiful the ceremony was. There was lots of tears and lots of laughter, and we are left with the most beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. Her warmth and love really shone through. We really, really cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you Kerrie 🤍

Amazing service, lovely friendly celebrant

Kerrie gave us the most stunning ceremony, better than we could ever have hoped for. It was so beautiful and personal. Our guests have complimented to us just how good it was. Kerrie is just so lovely and easy to work with and communicated with us throughout our wedding journey. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant and wish we could have our service all over again. Thanks so much Kerrie!

Kerrie is a truly exceptional celebrant.

Kerrie is a truly exceptional celebrant. We got married in September in Carlisle. We've both been to lots of weddings in the past, and generally, while its always lovely to see friends get married, the ceremony itself is usually the least favourite part as it can be preachy or a little dull. Ours however, was absolutely incredible and it's all thanks to Kerrie.

We wanted something that was personal to us and that felt special, and Kerrie more than delivered that for us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple. She listened, offered her expert advice and planned something so special that it blew us away. She is so warm, kind, understanding and so easy to talk to. She just gets it, and she's brilliant.

All of our guests were raving about the ceremony. My cousin said it was the most honest and beautiful ceremony she'd ever been to. One friend messaged us days later to say that he'd been "really affected" by our wedding. It set the tone for the entire day, which was the most incredible and special day of our lives.

Thank you so much to Kerrie for making our wedding so special. We'll hold the memory of it in our hearts forever. It wouldn't have been the same without Kerrie, so thank goodness that we found her. We are so grateful!

Amazing, thank you!

Kerrie performed our wedding ceremony in June, and it's hard to put into words how special it was!
The ceremony felt just right for us as a couple; it was personal to us and beautiful, but still relaxed and light-hearted. There were even elements she had saved for us on the day, and hearing those readings for the first time on the day was so magical. We are getting one of the poems printed for our home because it was just so beautiful and really brings back all the feelings of the day!
All our friends and family said it was such a lovely and personal ceremony, and from there the rest of the day just continued to be a dream.
Kerrie was always there to chat to if we had any worries in the lead up to the wedding and made us both feel at ease on the day- even when my nerves were crazy! She is amazing and we would recommend her for any couple! Thank you so much!

Kerrie is Unbelievable

Where do I even begin? I have too many amazing things to say about Kerrie that I’m afraid I’ll miss something! I hired Kerrie about 6 months prior to our wedding. At that point I had already hired a florist, venue, photographer and DJ, but it wasn’t until booking Kerrie that our upcoming wedding felt real and not like some distant fantasy. During my first call with Kerrie she painted the most vivid, brilliant picture or what our ceremony could be. She offered different ideas for how the bridal party could walk in, how we could incorporate our parents into the ceremony and described the unique options for meaningful rituals (ie handbinding, sand jars, etc). Every time I spoke to Kerrie to go over the drafts of the script she wrote, I left our call feeling so EXCITED.

On the day of the wedding, she came to the venue early and met with me and the bridal party while we got our hair done to calm our nerves, go over our entrance and answer any of our questions. She was so warm, kind and reassuring. Kerrie has such a grounded, calming energy. The ceremony itself was beautiful. She had written a personalized script that she read from so naturally. In the months leading up to the wedding, she had taken the time to get to know our story and what we love about each other, so that was all incorporated into the ceremony. She involved our mothers with the hand fasting ritual which was so special to all of us. After the ceremony, EVERYONE came to tell us how amazingly Kerrie had performed the ceremony, how unique and personal it was, and how they’d never been to a wedding ceremony like it. Three months on and our guests still bring Kerrie up. Her energy is radiant, magnetic and impossible to forget. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her services to anyone looking for a celebrant!!

Exceptional from start to finish!

Kerry is exceptional with what she does.
Our experience with her was fantastic. Every single one of our guests commented on how personal our blessing was and how outgoing Kerry was with them aside of the ceremony.

Kerry takes the time to get to know her couples and that was evident in our blessing. She told our story in a way that engaged all the guests.

The attention to detail with our vows, certificate, surprise gifts and ensuring her outfit matched the theme was impeccable.

Our guests laughed and cried. I can not thank Kerry enough and would recommend Kerry every single time, worth every single Penny!
