The most compliments for our ceremony!

Our entire wedding day was perfect, but out of everything we chose, the thing we received the most compliments on from guests was Helen delivering our ceremony. Helen's attention to detail is amazing, she listened to everything we said and created our dream ceremony as though it was the easiest thing in the world, it must be scary to present a couples own story back to them as a script but I'll never forget the first time I read it and we will cherish that script for the rest of our lives.

We couldn't imagine anyone else!

The ceremony was delivered superbly on the day and all went according to plan. Our wedding day just felt perfect and Helen was such a crucial part of making it happen, getting the party started in the best possible way! We would absolutely recommend her!

Our best wedding decision!

Without a shadow of a doubt, choosing Helen to be our celebrant was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. We felt at ease with Helen straight away and I know that’s how our loved one’s felt throughout the ceremony- despite not meeting her in the way we had, which I think says such a lot and is a testament to Helen’s warmth and skill as a celebrant. The feedback we have had, both on the day and since, only reinforces how brilliant we think Helen is. A huge thank you Helen

Helen is amazing!

So many of our guests commented on how special the ceremony was and how they felt honoured to have shared in it with us. If you are looking for someone to give you a wedding ceremony that will be highly personal then I'd definitely recommend Helen . She is amazing.

Forever grateful!

We cannot recommend Helen enough. From start to finish she was focused on making us feel at ease, and ensuring our wedding was right for us. We couldn’t imagine our wedding any other way, and will be forever grateful for the memories she helped us create.

A joy to work with!

Helen was so professional and easy to work with and made the whole process an absolute joy. She then took all of the information from our meeting and wrote a beautiful first draft for the ceremony that we were then able to review and amend as we liked. The end result was a unique and heartfelt ceremony that truly captured who we are and the story of our life together up until that point. We would wholeheartedly recommend Helen to anybody!

We cannot recommend Helen highly enough

Helen really brought our story to life for our wedding ceremony and we loved working with her in the build up to the big day. We had so many comments from guests about the ceremony and they loved it. Notably from more distant family members who didn’t know our story so were so overjoyed to hear how we met. But even close family and friends who learned something new about us too! We couldn't fault anything to do with Helen or her approach and would recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant.

One of our best decisions for our day!

I cannot recommend Helen enough. Through the whole process Helen was a delight to deal with we didn’t even need to ask any questions as she had told us everything we needed to know in the meetings that we had. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Richards

What an amazing wedding ceremony!

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 and touching. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone wanting a celebrant for a special occasion. Thank you Helen!!

Everyone loved the ceremony!

Helen is amazing and I could not recommend her more - if you are looking for a celebrant look no further. We always knew we wanted something more personal and Helen delivered perfectly. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony and how good Helen was. Thank you Helen for making our day extra special.

Every wedding is 100% unique and each is perfect for that particular couple so they can't possibly be compared! I do have a great memory and I remember details about every ceremony I have conducted so could tell you the most memorable part of each one :-)

Attentive, fun, creative, innovative, genuine

What about your business are you most proud of?

Bringing joy to each couple gives me a real sense of purpose and satisfaction in every wedding but I have been especially proud to support the gift of a wedding charity in both 2022 and 2024.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Book a Celebrant, you won't regret it!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A personalised ceremony! Why personalise everything else and not the ceremony itself?

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We have a planning meeting 3-4 months before where we really get to know each other and gives me all the material for the script. I then go away and write it for you to edit until you are 100% happy and then I deliver it to you on the day.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?

I've had a few! An owl ringbearer, plenty of dogs, pints of Guinness at the end of the ceremony, a surprise rendition of 'Love is All Around' from Love Actually, toy cow exchanges and several impromptu ringbearers!

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

You have the opportunity to get to know me before the day so you have a familiar face leading your ceremony not a stranger which is one less thing to worry about when you are standing up in front of your friends and family. I also have plenty of tips based on my wealth of experience that I can share to ensure that the ceremony, and the rest of the day go as smoothly as possible.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Getting to know and work with so many different couples who each have a beautifully unique vision for their wedding. It is also an immense privilege for you as a couple to share your story with me and for me to have the pleasure of retelling it for you and your guests.

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

I love every bit of a ceremony but I especially love retelling your love story. It's the perfect combination of cute, funny, romantic and interesting- even those who know you best will find out something they didn't already know!
