We got married at Cockley Wood in June 2025, and Sarah was the most incredible celebrant. From the moment we booked, she took the time to get to know us, which made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Some of our guests were a little unsure about the idea of a non-traditional ceremony, but so many people told us afterward how much they loved it. Sarah is a natural storyteller and a wonderful speaker, I think she had everyone both crying and laughing at some point! One of our favourite touches was the beautiful ceremony box she gifted us. Being able to revisit the words of our ceremony at a quieter, less emotional time meant so much, and we know we’ll return to it again and again over the years. We honestly couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly. Thank you for playing such an unforgettable role in our special day.

We identified Helen from a search online as a potential celebrant. She responded immediately to our enquiry, calling me back, and we had a conversation - which convinced me that Helen would do a great job. I wasn't disappointed. I would highly recommend Helen in her capacity as an independent celebrant.

I have absolutely no regrets about hiring Cathy as our Celebrant. We were after a low key, non-fussy but still heartfelt service and she heard us completely. She went above and beyond at every step. She used her wedding experience to make sure we'd thought of everything, calmed us both down on the day, even went for a venue visit with the coordinator without being asked. The speech she wrote was beautiful and everyone commented on how good the ceremony was. She even gave us a couple of keepsakes which was a lovely touch. I've never used a celebrant before but I cant imagine what more you could want. (Evidence of her moving my bridesmaids to tears attached)

Christie absolutely nailed it! From the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands. The ceremony was personal, funny, heartfelt, and totally us. Guests laughed, cried, and raved about how amazing it was. Honestly, if you’re thinking about booking Christie—do it. You won’t regret it!

What an amazing wedding ceremony. We only gave ourselves 5 months to find a celebrant and after plenty of research we picked Helen. After the initial consultation, it just felt right and Helen put us right at ease with what is already a stressful enough event to organise. Helen was quick at responding and even though we couldn’t meet face to face, our online planning worked just as well. Helen put so much time and effort into getting to know us, reflected in her script which was both funny and touching. Helen was amazing on the day, even matching with the colour theme and delivering the ceremony we wanted! We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone wanting a celebrant for a special occasion. Thank you Helen!!

Sue has been a pleasure to work with. Talking through our story Sue really got to know us as a couple. She listened to our thoughts on the service and delivered it perfectly and made it so personal. Thank you so much for being part of our day Sue.

Hannah, we were lucky enough to have been recommended you by our wedding venue after explaining that we were searching for a non-religious, intimate ceremony. We wanted it to be different and about us, after only ever going to traditional weddings in a place of worship. We knew that we would have to do some ‘work’, however you made it enjoyable and exciting so it didn’t feel like work at all. The questions you asked were so in depth and captured so much. It was great thinking of past and present happy moments in our lives and expressing our feelings in response to them. It was the main core of preparing for the big day and we thoroughly enjoyed it. You literally covered everything. The time and dedication you put into us both is just incomparable: how you helped when we were a little confused with any of the questions and how comfortable you made us feel. Nothing was ever too much. Hannah you were just amazing, exceeding all expectations. We were so lucky to have you on our special day. You ensured things ran smoothly, not just the ceremony but the whole build up and arrival of the guests. We don’t actually know what we would have done without you. You were so warm and welcoming and very free flowing when we needed you to be with Tilly, yet so professional. We’re just so grateful. We have had so many compliments from family and friends on how amazing the ceremony was and that they’ve never been to one like it. There was not one dry eye in the barn! A huge thank you also for how you helped with seating our parents on the front rows. Your advice was just perfect and we’re really thankful how it worked out. We wish that we could do it again!! And we miss you in a funny way. You’re just such a lovely, kind and clever lady and you’re absolutely amazing at what you do. We will always recommend you. Sending lots of love to you and your family and thank you so much for everything. You made our day so special and we will be forever grateful. Olivia and Harry xx

We’d highly recommend Louise as a wedding celebrant following our recent wedding. Louise was there to guide us all the way from initial picturing of how we’d like the ceremony to run many months ahead, building out and finessing the detail, checking timings, rehearsal, and then her clear and uplifting delivery on our big day itself. So many of our guests commented (and still do) about how personal, fun, unique and memorable our cceremony was. Whether you’re seeking the simplest of ceremonies or something you’ve nearly entirely personally bespoked in terms of content and sequence Louise professionally guides and works with you to seek to deliver your wishes, whilst gently nudging you back on course if needed. Louise’s detailed knowledge of what is and isn’t possible for the ceremony is very reassuring. Louise formed a nice connection with our guests in the preamble ahead of the ceremony and made it her priority to also introduce herself and learn a little about each of our wedding party. This added to the relaxed atmosphere we were seeking. Many guests commented to us how they’d enjoyed our very personalised ceremony that Louise was central to helping us put together and her lovely storytelling style mixed in with the formal elements of the service. In a nutshell we’d say you don’t need to look anywhere else – book Louise! She's a star and such a warm and supportive person.

Leigh was incredibly well prepared for our ceremony, and confidently delivered a beautiful service. He put us at ease at a very emotional time, and made the ceremony run smoothly and effortlessly. He had researched every detail about the bride and groom, and our guests appreciated the information he provided. He is the consummate professional, and brought a wonderful sense of humour and lightness to our ceremony. He provided advice whenever needed, and he was always available to talk and discuss our wedding. I highly recommend Leigh to act as your Celebrant!
