My aim, as a celebrant, is for you to feel relaxed and to really enjoy your ceremony. Your ceremony is a celebration of your love for one another, it is the HEADLINER of the day, let's make it a wedding your friends and family will talk about for years to come!

Please get in touch, I'd LOVE to hear about your wedding plans so far.

If you’re looking for a celebrant, look no further ⭐️

Jess recently conducted our celebrant led ceremony in Chichester.

She was the first (and only) celebrant we enquired with, we were sold straight away!

We had our initial meeting with Jess and felt so comfortable and relaxed talking with her, like talking to an old friend!

Our wedding script was so beautifully written and personal to us; this was extremely important to us; being non religious people.

Jess eased our worries and nerves on the day and has the ability to make you feel like it was just the three of us during the ceremony, totally relaxed!

We cannot recommend Jess enough, she is one of a kind!

Personal ceremony conducted perfectly

Jess has conducted two ceremonies for our family, our sons naming ceremony and then our wedding a few months later. Both events were filled with love and laughter thanks to her. She has such a personal touch which is completely evident in the ceremonies. 

The whole process with Jess goes far beyond the usual, she really takes the time to get to know you both (+ our son in this case) so when it comes to the day everything is so relaxed and easy. It really feels like a friend marrying you and our guests felt this warmth too. If we're blessed with another child there's no one else we'd go to.

Jess makes your special day the most memorable ever!From that moment we both knew that our choice of Celebrant was spot on!The level of detail which Jess wove into our Wedding ceremony showed an extraordinary level of intuition and empathy which had Jade and I shedding years of joy at the first reading. We cannot stress highly enough how relaxed, professional and humorous (in all the right measures), Jess conducted our big day. Thank you for understanding, creating and adapting our wishes so very perfectly.
