Meet our recommended celebrants Every couple has a story. How you tell it is up to you.
Choosing a celebrant to conduct your wedding ceremony is such an important and deeply personal decision. Every couple has a story and how they choose to tell it is up to them, so we are delighted to partner with three celebrants, giving wedding couples even greater choice.
Our recommended celebrants know how to turn a ceremony into something that feels personal - whether that’s heartfelt, humorous, or quietly simple. They’ll take the time to understand you, your style and what matters most. From chapel blessings to garden vows and everything in between, they’ll make sure your ceremony feels like you.
Meet the celebrants we love working with, and start shaping your day.
