General
Yes. I trained with the International College of Professional Celebrants (ICPC) and since training in August 2023, I have become a trainer with them so train celebrants as well. I hold two diplomas in celebrancy - one in couples and namings and the other in funerals. Both qualifications are Ofqual regulated. I also hold an enhanced DBS, am fully insured and registered with the ICO. I think it's safe to say that you will be in good hands.
For weddings, I will arrive 90 minutes before your ceremony so that I can ensure everything is in place. For other ceremonies, I will arrive between 30 and 90 minutes depending upon the complexity of delivery and other people involved.
It depends. If your ceremony is in Bristol, no. If your venue is outside of Bristol, yes. Mileage is charged at 45p per mile and you will be given a quote before you book.
Use my contact form to get in touch the we'll meet online or in person and get to know each other a little. We will discuss the vision for your day. After the call, you'll receive my booking form / service agreement. When you decide that you would like to process, you will complete the booking form and pay the booking fee. Once the booking fee (50% of the overall fee) is paid, I am exclusively yours!
This depends upon which ceremony you would like to book me for. For funerals or other celebration of life, you can be book from a couple of weeks to months in advance. I do create and deliver funerals within the space of a week - if you need this, phone me.
For any other ceremony, please enquire about my availability.
With regard to weddings - as I only book one wedding on any given day, it is advisable to book me as soon as you have confirmed your venue. Currently, I am booking into next year and beyond so if you want me, book me sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
My prices vary depending upon the ceremony. I keep my prices up-to-date on each page of the website so you are advised to look for the relevant ceremony page on my website. You will find the price there for most ceremonies. For funerals, celebration of life and additional services, prices vary depending upon your personal requirements. Get in touch for a chat about what you need and a quote.
Yes you can. However, it is important to note that I am not a religious minister but as an independent celebrant, I welcome your beliefs and spirituality. If you would like elements that reflect this during your ceremony, we can discuss the ways in which we can do this.
