Hello! I'm Andrea
Before becoming a celebrant, Andrea worked as a therapist for over 20 years. This required her to quickly build rapport and trust with her clients, identify key issues, provide support and advice on the way forward and keep focused on the end goal. These skills have enabled her to perfectly transition into the role of celebrant!

Naming Ceremonies
What greater cause for celebration than a new addition to the family! A unique naming ceremony, crafted especially for you and your family is a wonderful way of celebrating the birth of a new baby or the adoption of a child into your family. Find out more information by clicking the link below.
What is a celebrant?
A celebrant is an independent person who creates and delivers a bespoke ceremony just for you and your event. There are no constraints or restrictions over venue, time, vows, commitments, readings, music, or any other aspect of your ceremony! A celebrant can include religious, cultural, or symbolic elements in your ceremony (unlike a registrar conducted wedding ceremony). If you are having a naming ceremony, any elements you wish can be included. The ceremony can take place anywhere you choose, as you are not restricted to licenced or religious venues, so you could choose the beach, the forest, a garden, a stately home, a hotel or even your own garden!
Registrar led Wedding v Celebrant Wedding?
A registrar led wedding can only take place at a licenced venue (which are generally more expensive than un-licenced venues).
You are not able to have spiritual, religious, or cultural references or any symbolic elements.
The registrar only attends on the day and there is a strict format to follow.
Alternatively, a celebrant led wedding has no restrictions and can take place at any venue, licenced or un-licenced.
The ceremony is completely bespoke to you with the script designed and written personally for you!
You can include your own vows and any other personal elements you would like!
Your celebrant can also attend a rehearsal if you would like them to!
It is important to note that a celebrant led wedding is not legally binding, therefore the legalities need to be conducted at a registry office either before or after the celebration ceremony (usually before).
This is a very simple process, where just the couple and two witnesses need to attend. The cost of the formal registration is very quick and the fee generally ranges between £46 and £57 depending upon which local authority registrar you use.
Prior to your legal ceremony (approximately one month), you need to 'give notice' with the registrar in the district that each of you live.
The cost for this is currently £35 each, regardless of where you live.
