Hi, I'm Lizzy

Want a bespoke, inclusive, relaxed wedding ceremony, full of warmth, humour and personal touches? Then you've come to the right place!

I love working with couples to incorporate well, whatever they like into their ceremony! There are no rules here! Whether you have a fully-formed vision, or you're starting from scratch, I'd be delighted to help craft your dream day.

As a former classical singer, I have decades of experience performing at weddings, and now nothing makes me happier than leading memorable ceremonies as a celebrant.

I particularly love working with couples to incorporate elements of their different heritages, and exploring their backgrounds and traditions. I speak Mandarin Chinese, French and a few words of some other languages, and am always up for weaving these into a ceremony script. I also have experience working with people who have left religions and am more than happy to talk about how to handle any delicate issues, while maintaining traditions, if that's part of your vision.

I am excited to get to know you and your love story, so do get in touch!

Lizzy presented beautifully in her ceremony - warmth, humour, and a really positive connection with the couple and guests.

Lizzy was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. She was warm and welcoming, putting us at our ease. She got just the right balance of formality whilst also being funny and personable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other couples.

— Sheridan & Freya

I've been meaning to write and say how profoundly grateful we are to you for creating such a fabulous celebration ceremony for us. It really was superb. Your script was perfect. Joyful, touching, witty and sincere. We loved it. Everybody commented on how great the ceremony was. We feel incredibly lucky.

— Rosalind & Andrew

We had so many compliments about you! People kept coming over to us and telling us how much they loved the ceremony. A lot of people said they'd never seen anything like it before and that they were amazed at how personal it was. Thank you for helping make the day what it was, we had a wonderful time.

— Emma-Ashley & Alex
