Hi, I'm Jessie

Firstly, congrats! It would give me an immense amount of joy to get to know you and tell your story as accurately and beautifully as I can. I want to hear all about your lives apart and together, so that I can write a ceremony that gets to the heart of how it feels to be you, to be partners, and to be in love. 

I think that committing to making another person happy is one of the most optimistic and brave things you can do. The kind of hope and joy it takes to love someone and want to be married is what makes us human, and I'll champion that however I can. I love giving people the opportunity to celebrate fully - celebrate who you are as individuals, celebrate the delightful luck that brought you together, celebrate the ways you care for each other, celebrate the things to come.

How did you make it to the spot you're both standing in, who helped you along the way and what does this day mean to you? These are the questions we'll answer to write a ceremony that makes you feel seen. In the last few years it's become clear how important it is to celebrate occasions together, in whatever way is most meaningful to you. It would be an honour to help you do this by creating a ceremony that I hope will stay with you forever.

Hiring Jessie as our Celebrant was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding. From the very start, she was so personal, and interested in us, and our story. She has written a brilliant piece for our ceremony and performed it so well. She's been an absolute dream to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more.
