I have recently finished teaching in the primary sector, but wanted to carry on working with people. Having helped my mother organise my father’s funeral many years ago, and subsequently mother-in-law’s’s and then my own wedding I found myself wanting to be involved in helping others.

On the one hand we had trials and tribulations with my m-i-l’s funeral, not being given any choice in who officiated, what content we had and questionned on our music choices, ending up with a very impersonal service; to having a whale of a time at my own wedding that I helped organise, from venue to food to music.

I thought I want to ensure people have a better ceremony for their loved ones than I did, and a fantastic wedding just like mine. With those thoughts in my mind I started my journey to becoming a celebrant and qualified as a full celebrant for weddings, funerals and naming ceremonies. And I’m loving every minute! 

Since organising my personal family events I know what others might need to make their ceremonies special. And I can now do this as a qualified celebrant.

Therefore if you are looking to book me as your celebrant, this is who you will get - someone who has the experience of organising a wedding from booking the venue to saying ‘I do’; to someone who will hold your hand as you say goodbye to a loved one; to ensuring that you have the day you never had when you got married when you say ‘I do’ again.

I am also a qualified Coffin Club Celebrant Plus celebrant which has given me the training to help families think think ‘outside the box’ and choose a funeral for their loved ones that maybe isn’t centred round the crematorium or graveyard. 

You have now read all about what I can bring to you but I know what you really want to hear is ‘who am I?’

Well, I’m a wife, and mother to two girls and I’m looking forward to helping them arrange their own weddings, although I’ve been barred from being their celebrant! and a grandmother to 3 children. I was a teacher and that will always be in my bones. I’m a fairly relaxed and fun loving person, always happy to have a laugh, but can be serious when the situation arises. I love animals having had Irish Wolfhounds and terriers in the past, and used to rescue horses too. In fact if you’d like to include your pet in your ceremony then all the better.

Therefore if you book me for your celebrant led wedding, funeral, naming or vow renewal you will have the most personalised ceremony you could wish for.
