Celebrations for couples
There is nothing off limits with a civil celebrant led celebration - place and time are completely up to you. If you've always wanted to get married under the stars, on a beach, in a stone circle or at your own home, a celebrant is the choice for you. Couples who choose to pledge themselves at a celebrant ceremony will receive a tailor-made script which puts them at the heart of the ceremony. I'll get to know the two of you as much as possible - how you met, your shared values, your hopes and dreams, so I can write your unique story. I can also help you with vow writing, and designing unique symbolic elements to add to the meaning of your ceremony. I have even written ceremonies with mixing of new and exciting cocktails with which the happy couple then toast themselves!
Naming and Family Celebrations
From moving Naming ceremonies which welcome children into a family and community to joyful Family Blending or Adoption celebrations, a civil celebrant led ceremony adds a sense of occasion. It gives new parents or families the opportunity to share their love and commitment, and to create a network of support for children and parents alike. I love to support people on their journey through life and Gender Affirmation ceremonies can help.
something different
I adore dressing up. You want a drag wedding? A sci-fi themed commitment ceremony? Lord of the Rings funeral? Rockabilly vow renewal? Bring it on! If I don't have it in my dressing up boxes - and I have everything from the Pink Ladies to Morticia Addams - you can be sure I will make one before the big day.
Celebrations of Life
When you lose a loved one, arranging a funeral only adds to your burden. You want to give them the very best goodbye you can, but making decisions can be hard. That's where I come in - I can be the friend you never wanted to need. I will hold your hand through choosing music and readings, and write the eulogy you would have liked to write yourself, with your words and memories.
I am genuinely caring and a good listener, and I will do all I can to put you and your family members at ease from our first meeting through the whole process until the final goodbye. Working together, we can make a ceremony which is everything you want and what your loved one deserves.
I can also help with planning a celebration of life after a direct cremation or a public memorial after a private family funeral. Check out my website www.directcelebration.co.uk for more details
