Here we are into July and I can imagine that most of you couples are still in limbo not knowing what if anything to do! There has been so much confusing and conflicting information about what can or cannot be done regarding getting married here in the UK. Most venues are still very reluctant to open for weddings because the guidelines for the UK have been an issue with clarity especially where
Choosing an independent celebrant for your special occasion will probably be the best decision you will make during your planning! Why is that? I hear you ask! Yes I know that is a very big statement to make, but let me explain. With a celebrant led celebration and for this instance lets just say a wedding. A fully trained and experienced celebrant will give you complete freedom of choice in what I
Now that I have your attention let’s talk about same sex marriage, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Pansexual or any other identity that you relate to…..to me it doesn’t make one iota of a difference, to me LOVE IS LOVE !

A little late I know but at last we welcome April to the year, one of my favourite months, not just because yours truly has a birthday..( a rather big one!) but because for me it really does represent spring.

I have been a little distant for the last few weeks since this horrible Covid-19 has spread globally and like everyone, I am I think in a state of either shock or denial that this is going on. But the sad reality is that this is happening, and has had a massive impact on the lives of everyone. As a celebrant my heart goes out to all you couples who have spent
At last it seems as though the storms have passed and spring has arrived! Its such a beautiful time of year as everything bursts into life….snowdrops, daffodils, birds and bees, new grass, leaves on trees, as well as the warm sun making an appearance from time to time. Spring is a popular time for planning celebrations such as summer weddings and child naming days, and there is an abundance of beautiful flowers
After another busy weekend of meetings and flitting around like a busy bee I thought I would write a little something regarding “what to do”? or ” How does it work if we want a celebrant”?, As this seems to be the question that pops up the most when being contacted by couples. Common Misconception: There is a common misconception that when you decide to get married there are certain rules that
I was at the stunning Woodhall Manor wedding open day today, and despite the dreadful weather courtesy of “storm Dennis” there was a really good turn out of both suppliers and potential couples. The welcome from the friendly staff was second to none and the tea, coffee and food samples were plentiful.
