Hello!

​

Hello, I'm Julie, an independent celebrant creating heartfelt, individual ceremonies that reflect the people at their heart.

 

Whether you're planning the wedding of your dreams, celebrating a life well lived, saying goodbye to someone special or marking another important family milestone, I'll work with you to create something truly personal.

 

No two people are the same, so why should their ceremonies be? I'll take the time to get to know you, listen to your ideas and help bring your vision to life ,with warmth, a little humour where it feels right, and plenty of personal touches.

 

From our first chat to the moment your ceremony unfolds, I'll guide you through the process, take away the worry and help you create memories to treasure.

 

Every story matters. Let's tell yours.

''Julie is Amazing!

Wow! Where do I start....
Julie is amazing at what she does and Mike and I are so glad that she was part of our special day.
Julie is the kinda person you meet that makes you feel like you've known her for years she made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process, she created a beautiful love story that we could share with our loved ones and we will be forever grateful.''

Where Do You Want Your

Wedding?


The freedom to hold ceremonies in different venues  gives you (and me) the freedom to create a ceremony to be held where you want and at anytime of day or night leaving you with long lasting special memories of your special day.

If I am the celebrant for you we will meet up over coffee (cake is optional for you but I love it so it is essential in my world) to discuss your ceremony.

I will then spend time writing a heartfelt bespoke script and ceremony that reflects the sentiment you want.
 

Then it is time for me to make sure that you, your family and friends have a memorable time.
