Spotlight Ceremonies Full Description
HUZZAH! I’m cheering because a) you’re planning your wedding and that’s a reason to celebrate, (although possibly a little bit stressful), and b) you’ve found me! I’m an Independent Celebrant and my goal in life is simple: Seek happiness and make others happy. I passionately believe that your wedding ceremony can, and indeed should, reflect YOU as a couple. Weddings should be a joyful and fitting start to the marriage you want to have. With this aim in mind, I enjoy getting to know you via zoom, coffee meet ups and my fabulous couple questionnaire. I adore listening to couples tell their story so I can create a ceremony that is PERFECT for them. I usually send you the script before your big day so you get an excited, tingly feel (and maybe a few tears) as you read through and prepare mentally for your wedding. I love colour, cheering, happy tears and basically having a bloomin’ good time! But, it’s your wedding! I am flexible to fit your wishes and desires and can do: – traditional and formal – wild and wacky – casual and colourful or a mix of all the above! If you are looking for inspiration, I can also give you ideas about readings, writing your own vows and different symbolic moments that you may like to include (hand fasting, a unity candle, ring warming, jumping the broomstick, ring a truce bell…).

The best celebrant in the world!!

My wife and I came across Sheila via a recommendation from our wedding photographer for our outdoor wedding in August 2023. We wanted to work with a celebrant for our wedding who could really understand what we were about and embrace what we were trying to achieve on our wedding day. First of all, Sheila is a wonderful human being! From our first zoom calls to coffee catch ups, email exchanges and then our wedding day, her warm personality made it feel like we had known her for far longer than we had. We instantly knew we were in safe hands and when we received the script for the ceremony, we could not have been happier with how perfectly Sheila was telling our story. On the day we had all of our guests raving about how “us” our ceremony was and that is 100% down to Sheila. Her ceremony delivery was beautiful and was a major highlight in our day. We really could not ask for any more than what Sheila provided for us and we are so happy to have worked with her. We would wholeheartedly recommend Spotlight Ceremonies to everyone!! Thank you Sheila!!

Shelia is a must for all weddings

We would like to thank you so much for being our wedding celebrant. We cannot begin to put in to words how perfect our ceremony was and how much we appreciate what you did for us. The time you took to personalise our ceremony with all our weird quirks and include George Michael and William Shatner was amazing. It made me cry the first time i read it as it was completely us. We wish we could do it all again. we will always be forever grateful to you for making our day so special. Thank you so much once again the new Mr and Mrs Crowe ❤️ x

A Fantastic Celebrant

Sheila was fantastic, Her spirit of enthusiasm and joy set the perfect tone for the day and many of our guest went out of their way to tell us what a great job she had done. She really helped make it a wonderful experience by working with us on the script, having a great questionnaire to help get our ideas and thoughts flowing, and was kind enough to send us gentle reminders while not pressuring us to complete the things we were forgetting while trying to balance all the other arrangements.

Everyone said how beautiful the ceremony was

Thank you for being part of our special day last week. We both had an amazing day made even better by the personalised ceremony you undertook. Everyone was saying how beautiful it was that it was personalised to the both of us and we couldn’t agree more. It really did make the day feel that much more special.

Personalised perfection!

As soon as we got engaged, we knew Shelia would be the best celebrant for us. Sheila’s online description is a true reflection of her vibrant, kind and thoughtful personality, which shone through at our first meeting. Shelia was attentive and considerate to our needs, and her creativity helped us to plan our ceremony so that it was completely personal to our relationship. Shelia took all the stress out of the ‘Big Day’ for us and we will be eternally grateful to her for making our wedding so unique and unforgettable. Thank you Shelia for helping us have the day we had always wanted!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My own! But the most memorable wedding where I've been a Celebrant? There was the one where the couple were secretly married and they got me to play a joke on all the guests: 'Thank you for coming here today... Most weddings don't start like this but... I have some good news and some bad news. Unfortunately, the bad news is that C and M have told me they cannot get married here today... (queue dramatic gasp)... The good news, is that you're all here to celebrate their ONE YEAR WEDDING ANIIVERSARY!!!' I love working with couples to get the script as they want it. This worked so well for this couple - I know other weddings where this would not have been appropriate!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, warm, authentic, reliable, happy

What about your business are you most proud of?

I love my Instagram account! I love creating posts - choosing the right photo, using colours and writing bits for them!

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

Follow hashtags on Instagram for inspiration - I would have learned so much if I had done this!

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

A 'get to know you' game for all the guests. It was essentially a 'Find someone who...' which had lots of interesting facts about all the guests and the guests had to circulate to find out who, for example, had appeared as an extra on Neighbours.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I always suggest meeting in a coffee shop or on zoom for a free, no-obligation chat where you can decide if I'm the Celebrant for you. If you decide that I'm your gal, you pay the retainer fee which secures the date. Before the wedding, you'll have a lovely (usually wine-fuelled) evening filling in my couple's questionnaire. We then meet again so I can ask some more nosey questions (the more you tell me, the more personal I can make your script). Before the wedding, I'll send you my first draft. You can request changes on this - it's YOUR wedding day and it's really important to me that you love the script! I then turn up on your big day, an hour in advance, greet guests, marry you both, and then leave you to PARTY!

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

I've been sworn to secrecy, so that would be telling! (The wedding is happening this spring!)

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

I genuinely think wedding planners are 100% worth it if you're doing a more of a DIY wedding

What do you love most about your job?

Follow hashtags on Instagram for inspiration - I would have learned so much if I had done this!

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

I love it when the couples have written their own vows. They are so genuine and meaningful, and the love between the couple is just so obvious.
