Funny, emotional and filled with love

We can't thank you enough, our ceremony was everything we imagined it would be - perfect isn't even a good enough word! It was funny, emotional and filled with love. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our wedding day.

Absolutely beautiful

We’ve just got back from our honeymoon and I wanted to say thank you so much for our amazing ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful. You will now be forever in my thoughts, every time I think of the wedding. Everybody had lovely words to say about you. My sister has said she would love for you to do her renewal vows! Thank you again and again.

The best and most perfect day ever!

Well its been 6 weeks since we got married and finding it hard to find the words to describe the best and most perfect day ever! My day started knowing I was going to marry my soul mate, and knowing that we would be celebrating our day with the 6 children whom we had watched and grow into young adults. As we wanted the day to be just perfect we had done our homework researching and reading reviews on celebrants whom we would hope would make our day special. We contacted Sarah-Jayne, and instantly knew we had made the right choice from her initial email to the ceremony on the day. Sarah-Jayne was one of the friendliest and warm hearted people you could wish to meet. She created an atmosphere that was both relaxed and personalised in every way, we played a game of Mr. and Mrs. which was one of the highlights of the day especially listening to all the guests laughing and enjoying the fun atmosphere that filled the room. Sarah-Jayne is an exceptional person, she has a warm and friendly personality and has the ability to provide a day and a service that is both unique and exceptional in every detail.

They raved about our ceremony!

All our guests raved about our wonderful ceremony and it was only made possible with all Sarah's help and guidance. We got lucky that she was available on our wedding day and it was so easy to work with her. Sarah listened to all our suggestions and accommodated them into her planning. We would highly recommend Sarah's services to anyone else who needs a celebrant in the future. Anything to spread the word on how good Sarah is!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every ceremony that I have had the honour of being part of has had memorable elements. I can't pick just one! Highlights from various weddings have to be moments like the Bride walking down the aisle to the to the Jurrasic Park movie soundtrack, a groom surprising his Bride with vows written in song form and gorgeous ceremony settings like a barn and stunning hotel gardens.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Modern, warm, personable, enthusiastic and engaging.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I love that my business is inclusive and non judgemental. Whatever your wishes I will do everything I can to make your wedding ceremony exactly as you envisage it. I’ve worked with couples who want for traditional touches and some who want something totally new. The main thing is that it’s personalised to you and your other half and reflects exactly what you want.

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

Do your research. Chat to as many people/companies as you need to and never be afraid to ask questions. Oh and I must add... enjoy your engagement!! So many couples forget that bit and it’s really important to make the most of it.

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

I think it’s incredible how creative people are. Anything and everything from floral archways to having your own hashtag. It’s your day, your way. I love seeing how people bring their big days together. I’m a sucker for vows that have been written by the couple though, the intamicy and raw emotion it brings gives me goosebumps.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After initial contact via phone/email I love to meet up in person. Let’s have a coffee/or another beverage of choice... it’s up to you ;-) and chat about your dreams, hopes and wishes for your wedding ceremony. Then I go away and write a draft ceremony and I’ll keep writing until your happy. You can have as much input as you like and I’m always open to suggestions and feedback. Before the big day we will have as much contact as you wish on the phone/email/video call/text and if you’ve opted for one we will have a full rehearsal. For every step of the way I’m there and any questions you have I’m happy to answer. Let’s discuss your ceremony and make it personal and memorable for both of you.

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

For me it’s about communication. If you talk and work through everything then there’s no need to stress. If you pick me as your Celebrant I’ll be there to chat at any point and rest assured I’ll do anything and everything to make sure there are no ceremony stresses.

What do you love most about your job?

Book stuff early where you can. As a Celebrant I receive enquires all year round. Some couples book as early as two years in advance. That’s amazing as we then have tonnes of time to write a beautifully personalised ceremony just for you!

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

The vows! I love hearing the promises that are being made, and if you’ve added an element of your own vows then that’s the icing on the cake. The vows to me are what getting married is all about.
