Your Questions About Celebrants Answered

An independent celebrant creates and leads bespoke, heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate life’s special moments but is not bound by a particular religion or registrar’s script.

We create ceremonies for funerals, celebrations of life, memorials, and self-planned farewells, as well as weddings, vow renewals, and naming ceremonies for both adults and children. Each one is shaped around your stories, values, and wishes, so your occasion feels truly personal, unique, and meaningful.

My goal is to ensure that you don’t stress and you feel assured that I will look after you and guide you through one of the most important days of your life, be it a celebration of joy, or one of deep sadness.

My fees vary depending on the type of ceremony, your location, and what’s involved, so please get in touch to discuss your needs and receive a bespoke quotation.

I have put guide prices on each of my main ceremony pages of this website.

You can hold your ceremony almost anywhere you choose—at a registered venue, a town hall, a country manor, a barn, on the beach, out in the countryside, or even in your own garden.

I work across Norfolk, Suffolk, East Anglia, and beyond, so there are very few limits on where your celebration can take place.

And the same goes for timing! Day or night, dusk or dawn—if your venue allows it, we can make it happen.

In short, your day is all about you. Whatever you have in mind, I’d love to hear it and help bring it to life, creating a celebration that’s perfect, memorable, and truly yours.

Absolutely! No two ceremony scripts are ever the same. I craft each one from scratch—there are no rules and no restrictions. My aim is always to create a bespoke ceremony that’s uplifting, joyous, and leaves lasting memories for everyone involved.

Whether you’d like something traditional with a personal touch, or a ceremony that blends tradition with quirkiness (and maybe even a dash of outrageousness!), that’s exactly what you’ll get.

And when it comes to my wardrobe—I’ll happily match your vision. From heels and finery to jeans and wellies in a field, or even a themed outfit, I’m game (though naturism is the one request I politely decline 😊).

Yes, if that's what you'd like.

If you’d like me to include religious or spiritual elements, that’s no problem at all. Your ceremony is about you, so it can feature whatever feels right—prayers, blessings, or rituals from any culture or tradition. If you’d prefer a completely non-religious ceremony, that’s equally perfect. As I always say, it’s your day, your way.

Most ceremonies last around 30–40 minutes, though they can be shorter or longer depending on what you’d like to include. I’ll shape the timing so it feels just right—long enough to be meaningful, but never so long that your guests lose interest. From start to finish, everyone will feel engaged and part of the moment.

Yes, absolutely! I love to travel and would be delighted to join you for your celebration abroad.

Many couples choose to wed overseas with a celebrant leading their ceremony. You’ll simply need to complete the legal formalities with a registrar at home (either before or after) or with an officiant at your destination. The celebration itself—your vows, your ring exchange, and everything personal to you—will take place during your celebrant-led ceremony at the location you choose.

There are some additional costs for overseas ceremonies to cover travel time, expenses, and accommodation, so please discuss these with me for a bespoke quotation.
