Hi, I’m Rachel, the heart and humour behind The Happily Ever After Celebrant, a wedding officiant in Portsmouth, Hampshire. Think of me as your professional hype woman with a binder. I’ll make you laugh, calm your nerves and tell your love story beautifully. Your ceremony should feel relaxed, romantic and real, not like reading from a script. I’m here to make sure it feels like you, full of love, laughter and maybe a happy tear or two. I bring the warmth, humour and heart that make everyone feel part of your story.

I’m proudly LGBT+ and neurodivergent friendly, and I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that feels true to who they are. This is your story, and I’m here to tell it. It’s all about your day, your way. From nerves to giggles, I’ll be right there making sure it all feels joyful and genuine, keeping everything running smoothly while you focus on the moment. I’m based between Portsmouth and North East London/Essex, creating ceremonies across Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Greater London, anywhere within about an hour and a half of either home base.

So whether you’re planning a seaside ceremony, a woodland wedding or something completely your own, I’ll help you make it warm, personal and unforgettable, for all the right reasons. Please do reach out to chat and book. I’d love to create your Happily Ever After with you.
