Sam White Celebrant

Let’s create an unforgettable ceremony

Hello and welcome! I’m Sam (she/her).

I am a celebrant based in the City of Bristol covering Bristol, Bath, Somerset, South Wales, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. In fact, I’ll travel anywhere a gorgeously unique ceremony is needed!

It's nice to meet you

I create unforgettable ceremonies which tell stories of love, life and legacy. 

There will undoubtedly be laughter even during the sad times. 

But, most importantly, the ceremony will feel unequivocally you or the perfect reflection of your loved one.

Weddings, vow renewals, funerals, living funerals, memorials, scatterings, namings and re-namings. I’ll even create a ceremony to open your new business.

Your ceremony

Your ceremony will be full of love and beautiful words with writing that is honest, sincere and funny. My delivery is warm and down-to-earth. You are in a safe pair of hands.

As an LGBTQIA+ ally, you can feel reassured that you will be given a safe space in which you can plan and experience your ceremony. 

I always go the extra mile to ensure that the ceremonial space is accessible to all.

Every part of you will feel celebrated - your values, your heritage and your spirituality.

“Thank you so much for the ceremony. It  really was just perfect! We both agree that it started the day off in the best possible way.”

A ceremony unlike any other

Whether it’s your love story at a wedding or vow renewal ceremony.

Honouring your life or the life of a loved one.

Affirming your chosen name as you celebrate your journey into becoming.

Or welcoming a baby or child into the family.

The ceremony is the heart of any milestone celebration and it should be as unique as the story it tells. 

You matter most

Want to add elements of your heritage? So far, I have spoken Welsh, French, German, Dutch, Setswana and Swahili in the ceremonies I have delivered. I’m well-versed in handfasting and other symbolic rituals.

I am not affiliated with any religious beliefs but welcome your beliefs and, if you want to, we’ll find a way to incorporate them into your ceremony.

I am, however, experienced, professionally trained and qualified

"We wanted a ceremony with personality, to be funny and to highlight our personalities as a couple. Sam was able to deliver that in such a warm and generous way!"
