Hi, I'm Karen

So… what are you dreaming of?

Tell me everything. How you met, what makes you laugh, what matters to you, and what has brought you to this point. Whether you are planning a wedding, a vow renewal, or something a little less traditional, I would love to hear your story and turn it into a ceremony that feels completely, unmistakably you.

For me, it is all about creating something real. Something that reflects your relationship, your people, and the life you are building together. If that includes standing on a clifftop with the wind in your hair, wandering into the woods, bringing your dog along, or even turning up with a pet llama, I am absolutely here for it. If you are leaning towards something more classic and traditional, that is just as welcome too.

Whether you are planning an intimate elopement, a micro wedding with your closest people, or a bigger celebration with everyone you love, I will help you create something that feels right for you.

I am based in Llantwit Major on the Welsh coast and love to travel throughout the UK and abroad for the right ceremony. Closer to home, I am inspired by the stunning locations across the Vale of Glamorgan, the Gower, the Brecon Beacons and West Wales, from wild coastlines to hidden woodland spots and beautiful countryside settings. I also work in partnership with the beautiful cabins at Hide, creating relaxed and intimate celebrations in a truly special setting.

I will guide you through the whole process so it feels easy, enjoyable and collaborative. We will shape your ceremony together, with plenty of space to explore ideas, refine your script and make sure it feels just right. I can also support you with writing your vows and feeling confident saying them out loud.

Alongside my work as a celebrant, I am a published author and international presenter, so storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. I know how to find the thread in your story and bring it to life in a way that feels natural, engaging and meaningful.

I work with couples of all backgrounds and identities, and as part of the queer community myself, I create a space where you can feel completely comfortable, relaxed and yourselves from the very start.

Next steps

Get in touch. Finding the right celebrant matters, so I offer a relaxed, no obligation chat to see if we are a good fit. You can ask anything, share your ideas, or simply get a feel for how I work.

I would love to hear from you.

Karen Ingram is amazing. Supportive, encouraging and engaging.
