My mantra and background

So, whether it is accommodating you or any of your guests with communication needs, intellectual needs, neuro-diversity, or just a calming presence, my professional healthcare background helps me ensure that every single guest feels at ease and welcome at your ceremony.

My academic background in Linguistics and Speech Therapy is about a genuine passion for languages and communication. So whether you dream of an Irish-Speaking Celebrant or incorporating a traditional Spanish Blessing, a Polish Prayer or a heart-felt poem in Arabic, my expertise with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and experience with multilingual interpreters allows us to feature parts of your ceremony in any language you may like.

Do you have friends/family in different parts of the World?

Is it important to you that they feel part of your special ceremony? Then,let's make it happen! I'm more than happy to be flexible and inclusive by accommodating technology eg Zoom etc during your ceremony - just give me a call to chat it over.

“Carpe Diem” is my mantra and if it sounds like you too, then let’s chat!

Making It Official - The Legal Part Of The Ceremony Process:

If you are planning any of the following:

● Renewal of Vows
● Commitment Ceremony
● Naming Ceremony
● Family Ceremony

YOU DO NOT need any legalities completed, so you can contact me directly to get the ball rolling!

Name(Required)
Please include international phone code

However, if you are planning on:

● Getting Married
● Civil Partnership
● Elopement

you will need to complete the legal paperwork locally, before the confetti flies and the champagne corks pop!

Don’t worry though - none of it is daunting, and if you need help, I can easily give you advice.
