About Sacha — celebrant, storyteller, seaside soul
I’m a professionally trained celebrant who combines active listening and psychometric coaching with a love of lyric and everyday humour. Based on the Sussex coast at Cooden Beach, I run Sparkle and Soul Ceremonies from my seaside studio. After a long corporate career I followed my own quieter path to the sea, and now bring practical calm, warm curiosity, and a lifetime of relationships to every ceremony I design. I live locally with my husband, our Boston Terrier Freddie, and a family spread across Lincoln, London and Guernsey.
How I work
- Tailored scripts: Every ceremony is freshly written to capture your personalities, stories, and tone.
- Collaborative process: Gentle pre-writes, guided interviews, and optional in-person rehearsals keep things relaxed and moving.
- Organised and present: Emotionally attuned and detail-focused—so you can enjoy the moment while I manage the logistics.
- Playful, poignant, or pared-back: I adapt to your vibe—romantic, whimsical, alternative, or wonderfully unconventional.
Creative touches that invite guests in
- Keepsakes and ritual details: Fingerprint borders on certificates, handfasting that includes guests, symbolic tokens to take home.
- Participatory moments: Love Lottery wish-draws; fate-based witness or ring-bearer surprises; short communal blessings or readings that deepen connection.
- Light theatrical fun: Cheeky “ninja vows,” surprise readings, or a first-and-last-kiss moment to honour special family relationships.
- Everything optional: If you want a quietly intimate ceremony, I’ll make it tender and simple. If you want theatrical sparkle, we’ll dose it just right; together.

What's the difference between a Registrar & a Celebrant led wedding.
this video explains it succinctly :-)

A registrar legally marries a couple , with restricted, standard & legal wording in a licensed venue.
A celebrant creates a bespoke, truly personal 💘ceremony that celebrates🎉 your marriage by telling your love story. We can perform the ceremony ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. We can offer fun mini ceremonies & symbolic rituals where registrars just can't. 😢
Since we're not bound by legality you have more choice on venues; beaches, parks, your own gardens for example & the script centres around you & your love story - not the legal wording.
Is introductory prices just for 2025 weddings?
Nope - book NOW for your 26/27 or even 28 wedding at my introductory prices.

What is your advice for couples planning their wedding & feeling overwhelmed with choices?
Be true to your story. 🧾Forget the “shoulds” and traditions that don’t resonate with you as a couple. Your ceremony is a reflection of your love—make it yours, and let it shine.
Choose vendors who support your vision for the day you truly want, and who celebrate individuality rather than offering a cookie‑cutter approach. Surround yourself with people who honour your uniqueness, and your wedding will feel authentic, joyful, and unforgettable.
Describe how you work with a couple.
✨ From first chat to final vow, it’s your story, your way, your sparkle
We begin with a heartfelt chat —whether over WhatsApp, a cup of tea ☕, or even by the sea—to see if we vibe. It’s a chemistry conversation, a little like a blind date!
I’ll explore your wants and needs, and if we gel, we take the next step. That’s when we meet face-to-face. I listen deeply, tease out your dreams, and then craft a ceremony script that blends poetry, symbolism, rituals, and playful touches.
You’ll always have space to edit, refine, and make it truly yours.
On the day, I arrive early, calm nerves, and ensure every detail flows with grace—so you can simply be present in the joy.
How to you ensure a seamless wedding?
✨ Preparation and presence, with calm flexibility and a touch of humour
It’s all about the Ps: Perfect Planning Promotes Perfect Performance—a mantra I carried from my corporate days into my celebrant life.
I’ve been trained to be both a safe pair of hands and your love story teller.
I offer Preparation and Presence. Together we’ll create a clear plan, with thoughtful contingencies for weather, children, and even beloved pets 🐶. On the day, I bring calm flexibility. If the unexpected arises, I hold the space with humour and reassurance—so you can stay grounded in joy and fully present in your moment.
What makes for a most memorable wedding?
✨ Memorable weddings aren’t perfect—they’re personal.
💫A wedding becomes truly memorable when the couple’s story sits at its heart.💘 It’s not about perfection—it’s about personal touches that reflect who you are and the relationships that shaped you.
When loved ones are woven into the ceremony—parents offering blessings, friends sharing readings, siblings adding laughter or tears—guests feel part of something bigger than themselves. Those moments linger, because they carry both joy and emotion.
Memorable weddings sparkle with wow‑moments: a surprise song, a playful ritual like ring warming , or a symbolic gesture that reflects your journey together. They are ceremonies full of moments that matter—unique, heartfelt, and unforgettable, leaving every guest with a story they’ll carry home in their hearts.
What’s the best thing about being a celebrant?
✨ Because every ceremony is a story worth telling.
The best thing is that no two ceremonies, couples, or families are ever the same. Every day I step🦶 into a new love story, with its own rhythm, quirks, and magic 🧙♂️.
I’m dedicated to this work full‑time, and I treasure being both a safe pair of hands and a storyteller of love. It’s about empathy and authenticity—listening deeply, holding space, and weaving words that feel true.
On the day, it’s the little things that make my heart sing: the giggles of children, the sighs of guests as vows are spoken, and the wow‑moments that leave friends and family smiling through tears. Crafting a bespoke, personal ceremony that reflects a couple’s essence is pure joy—and knowing I’ve helped create a day they’ll never forget is the greatest privilege of all.
