What does that mean for your wedding?

Services Offered

Your experience begins with a complimentary discovery call, a relaxed conversation where ideas start to take shape and you can explore what feels right for you. From there, Kimberley guides you through a clear and thoughtful process that replaces uncertainty with confidence and excitement.

You will enjoy in depth story consultations, support with writing personal vows if you wish, guidance on readings and symbolic rituals, and a beautifully crafted ceremony script that reflects your relationship with warmth and balance. A full rehearsal can be arranged so everyone feels prepared and completely at ease.

On the day itself, you benefit from professional stage presence, calm leadership and refined delivery. Kimberley works effortlessly alongside your venue and suppliers, managing timing and atmosphere so the ceremony flows naturally and sets the tone for everything that follows.

Absolutely amazing!

Kimberley was amazing start to finish, and truly added something special to our day! She tastefully captured our story, and worked with us to make sure it fit the vibe of us as a couple. The communication was easy, the experience was completely stress-free and there were many different ways to personalise our ceremony if we wanted which gave us freedom. All my family and friends also said what a wonderful speaker Kimberley was aswell- I truly recommend choosing Kimberley for a wonderful experience!!!

A wedding celebrant who is truly invested in your ceremony

We are so glad we chose Kimberley Arnold as our wedding celebrant. She is such a wonderful, happy person and was so excited about our ceremony. We did not have a solid idea of what we wanted other than traditional vows and a specific part to include my husband's children. Kimberley not only came up with a lovely set of vows that contained the traditional elements we wanted, she also added a little bit extra to make it very special. She took our idea for our kids and blended it seamlessly into the ceremony. Kimberley also took the time to get to know both of us so that when she talked through our love story you felt she had known us for years. I am also grateful for how she took care of my nephew who was the ring bearer. She treated him as an equal, important part of the ceremony which helped keep him calm (he is neurodivegent) and allowed him to fully participate. Kimberley also did up a lovely wedding certificate for us and we had a mini signing ceremony for it. (We worked with the local council to have our celebrant ceremony first so this was just a nice extra in addition to our official legal marriage certificate.)
I would definitely 100% recommend Kimberley as your wedding celebrant. She listens to what you wish to happen on your special day and she gets it done with a lot of joy. Her services were very affordable and she was always available to check in with leading up to our wedding day. You cannot go wrong if you choose her to preside over your day.

There’s noone who could’ve told our story better! ❤️

There’s noone who could’ve told our story better! ❤️ From our first online meeting, you made everything super easy, personal and were just so so SO lovely! It was so important to us that our ceremony was fun, romantic and lighthearted and you did just that! An all round kind, bright and beautiful person who just “got us” from the get go - we loved you! We had so many compliments about the personalisation of the ceremony with some saying that’s the best they’ve ever been to, not to mention the “dusty vows” joke we pulled off - brilliant! It was everything and more and we couldn’t have done it without you! We feel like you were more than a celebrate, you became a friend ❤️ All our love always and thank you again for everything!

So Grateful We Found Kimberley!

It was an absolute joy to have Kimberley as our wedding celebrant. We found her looking through sites like Hitched and googling and immediately were drawn by her welcoming, genuine words. On our initial call we knew we wouldn't want to have anyone else! In the lead up to the wedding she was responsive, encouraging, and so kind. The ceremony was so beautifully composed and the presentation was stunning. It had us and all of our loved ones experiencing such joy, laughter, and emotion. I had so so many people approach me afterwards saying how incredible she was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect and we will be so endlessly grateful.

Wonderful wedding celebrant

Kimberley was brilliant from the first steps of planning our wedding service through to the delivery of the ceremony itself. She offered much guidance with various options for the ceremony, helped us write our vows, and was a friendly & kind person to have there to guide use through the exciting and emotional process.
Our wedding was beautiful, presented eloquently and heart-felt by Kimberley and we couldn't recommend her more for this service!

Wow - Incredible

Kimberley was amazing from the moment I met her. She helped in more ways than one. Giving not only advice for the day but also singing at our ceremony, which I will never forget. Her voice is truly incredible. The second I met Kimberley she put me at complete ease and it was like we’d known each other for years. I would highly recommend Kimberley to anyone. She will honestly make your day even more special. Thanks so much! xx

Very supportive and patience

I am really not much of a public speaker and so was very nervous about delivering my groom’s speech at my wedding. Kimberly was fantastic in helping me overcome my nerves and really helped build my confidence. She put together a detailed personal plan on how I should go about practicing the delivery of my speech. We caught up a number of times in the lead up to my wedding, giving me the opportunity to practice and then Kimberly would provide very helpful feedback and what to practice on before our next session. Thank you so much for your support and patience.

Jamie’s wife: “I may be biased but everyone said that it was a great speech. Jamie delivered it with emotion and confidence. I was so proud of him and want to echo his thanks for the support.”

Truly exceptional

Kimberley was such a key part in making sure own wedding went exactly how we wanted it. She is so fun to work with and although we felt like we were often asking for a lot, nothing seemed to be any trouble. Who knows how she seems to make it all happen, but she does. So much love for this woman, definitely a friend for life.

Amazing wedding co-ordinater and incredible singer.

Kimberley provided expert support organising my wedding. We had a vision of what we wanted for the day, and Kimberley helped realise that, to create a perfect day.
Kimberley is exceptionally warm, super organised, and is tuned into what people want. She has a voice that added the wow factor to our ceremony, by singing a version of Adele that gave people goosebumps.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kimberley as a celebrant, organiser or singer, as she has the capability to excel in any one of these roles.
If you are getting married she would be the person to contact!
