Home / Celebrants
Six master celebrants, each with a distinct style, region and language. Every one is trained in ceremony craft, fully insured, reviewed across hundreds of weddings — and, most importantly, a writer worth listening to.
Eleanor trained as a Humanists UK–accredited celebrant after a first career in book publishing, and it shows: her scripts read like prose, not liturgy. She works from a converted barn near Burford and will happily marry you in a meadow at dawn.
"A ceremony should sound like the couple — not like a template someone once downloaded."
Gabriel is the roster's specialist in blended ceremonies — Jewish and Hindu, Christian and secular, Buddhist and Baptist. He interviews both families separately before drafting, which is why his ceremonies feel inevitable rather than negotiated.
"You shouldn't have to translate yourselves for your own wedding."
A former magazine editor, Vivienne brings an editor's scalpel to ceremony writing: nothing vague, nothing padded, every reading earning its place. Her bilingual EN/FR ceremonies are a speciality for Anglo-French couples — one language, seamlessly, or both in turn.
"Ten good minutes beat thirty polite ones."
Twenty-five years and more than nine hundred ceremonies, including three castle weddings in a single fortnight. Jonathan carries a quiet authority that steadies even the most nervous couple — and a rolling baritone that fills a great hall without a microphone.
"Tradition is a tool, not a rule. I keep what serves you and politely retire the rest."
Priya designs multi-day destination celebrations where the ceremony is the centrepiece of a whole weekend — mehndi to sundowner. She is equally at home with a Hindu ceremony, a Greek Orthodox blessing, or a carefully braided version of both.
"Two cultures on one day. Neither of them gets edited down to a token reading."
Italy's most-requested independent celebrant among international planners. Isabella handles villa, vineyard and clifftop ceremonies across the country, and coordinates the parallel legal registration so your symbolic day stays stress-free.
"Arrive as guests of the villa. Leave married under Italian light. The paperwork is my problem."
We accept roughly one in forty applications. Candidates need 200+ weddings, formal ceremony training, public-liability insurance, and — non-negotiably — scripts that make our panel cry.
