BY YOUR SIDE services

As a qualified celebrant, I am able to offer a variety of services. My difference lies within my values and commitment promised to you:

1.  I give nothing less than 100%... even 99% just won't do!

2.  I ensure the day is memorable, inclusive and perfect for the occasion.

3.  Your ceremony will be in safe, capable hands; the content carefully written and tailored by me, approved by you and rehearsed together.

4.  I will lead you carefully through your bespoke ceremony, guiding you in order that you can relax and enjoy the day.

5.  You will have a supportive friend in me, from beginning to end.

But what exactly IS a celebrant?

A celebrant is a professional skilled in writing and public speaking, telling stories in 'celebration' of special moments in life, or in respectful rememberance.

 

With input from the client, they write and perform unique, personalised ceremonies, such as those listed below.

BY YOUR SIDE location

I am happy to travel to locations across the South West and beyond for your special ceremonies, and do not charge for travel to locations within a 20 mile radius of Braunton, North Devon. For locations further afield, fuel is chargable at 45p per mile and accommodation reimbursements may be applicable. We can chat this all over and I promise to be clear with all costs from the very start.

Initial discussions are usually held over the phone or online, before we meet in person.
