Civil Celebrant Sussex

DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN — TOTAL FRAUD We paid £300 for a celebrant service he never delivered. He pretended to be warm and caring, constantly saying “yes yes” to our requests, including agreeing to change the date — which the contract doesn't even restrict. Once he got the money, his entire attitude changed. When we asked for a refund, he shamelessly said: “I deserve the £300 — I prepared vows and paid for petrol to meet you.” Let’s be clear: The vows were recycled, taken from another wedding, and full of errors — including saying we had been “together for 15 years” (we’ve only been married 4). He never delivered the service. On the day we were supposed to meet, he was paddling around all day, nowhere near prepared. We were kind to him, paid for his drinks, and treated him with respect — but he showed zero care or professionalism. Worst of all, he used private photos from our secret elopement without our consent to promote himself on social media. A disgusting breach of privacy and trust. He even said, word for word: “I got the money, I don’t care when you sign the contract.” We have already raised a chargeback with our credit card provider and are taking legal action for: Failure to provide the service we paid for Unauthorised use of our private images Do not be fooled by his friendly act — it’s all a performance. Once he gets your money, you’re just another transaction. He does not care about your special day, your situation, or your trust. He is not a real professional, and he should not be in this industry. If you care about your moment, your memories, and your dignity — go to someone else.
