Some more wonderful feedback from a celebration of life ceremony I did at the beginning of December for a wonderful woman.

Now, this feedback really meant a lot, it all does to be fair but this was from the son who again, lives a busy life in London. It was his first Christmas without his wonderful mum… I know there will be many of you who will know just how hard that feels…

To know that when he’s been thinking about his mum at what has probably been a difficult time that he has taken the time to send me this email means the world.

Every ceremony I officiate I always get wonderful thanks from the families and couples. But when they take the time to send a text, and email, a phone call, a card whatever method to thank me, I just think it is so beautiful.

So here we are:

“Dear Nikki,

Thank you so much for your commitment and work leading up to and during my Mum’s funeral. It was unexpected just how well you were able to summarise and celebrate the life of someone you had never met. You were also a supportive and warm presence on the day, so thank you for making a difficult experience as positive and smooth as possible.

I hope you had a restful festive time, and have a great 2025.

With warm wishes,
Richard”

To receive two reviews yesterday made my heart so full. Moving into 2025 knowing that I was absolutely put on this planet to be a Celebrant 🥰

Another wonderful 5 star review from an amazing couple whose ceremony I officiated in August.
This came through yesterday and put a massive smile on my face. It also made me think of how busy people’s lives are, I know this from my own super busy life!

It’s wonderful to think that Lauren and Jamie have thought of me and recapped on their brilliant wedding ceremony when let’s face it they’ve actually had some time to take stock, reminisce and actually think they want to take a few mins to leave a review for me.

Every ceremony is so different, each couple so unique and I have to say I think I laughed my socks off the most at Jamie’s response to my questions and there is no doubt in the world that Lauren has a big smile on her face every single day.

Full google review here:

“Nikki performed our marriage ceremony in August this year! From the very first time we met with her she seemed to understand us as a couple and what we wanted straight away! The ceremony went amazingly and we still have people commenting on how personal to us it was. Nikki was so responsive to any questions and is such a kind and friendly person. She helped my partner with his vows when he had no clue where to start and even stayed a little after the ceremony to come and personally say goodbye to us! I would recommend her to anyone getting married and can’t thank her enough for the memories she gave us on our special day!”

Thank you so much for taking the time guys I really appreciate it. I love my job so much and hearing wonderful feedback makes it the most magical job in the world. I mean, is it even work if you love something so much???

Merry Christmas one and all ❤️

Had the best day with these awesome little humans, had an hour in the pub with some mates, watched 55 Christmas films, seen Santa and some awesome neighbours. Seriously the luckiest people on the planet being surrounded by such awesomeness 🥰

Have the best Christmas with all your loved ones and see you all in 2025 🥳🎄🎅❤️

It’s always lovely when couples take their time to write a review of their experience. It really does help couples who are looking for a celebrant for their wedding and more importantly makes me feel rather spesh 😂

Full review on google

“OK so let’s get it right Nikki is AMAZING!!!! Not just at her job but as a person too. When we first booked Nikki we were unsure what a celebrant was, we were just sure that we didn’t want the usual stuffy church service we had both had previously.

We met up with Nikki to discuss the ceremony. She wanted to know all about us, how we met what our likes and dislikes were and gave us opinions for during the ceremony and wonderful ideas we had never though about like hand tying and how to involve the children in the ceremony. We came away with so many brilliant ideas and suggestions it was amazing.

On the day Nikki was at the hotel early and soon settled my nerves before we went in to begin. The actual ceremony was honestly amazing and all of our guests commented on how impressed they were. It was a true reflection of us. It was filled with loving, funny stories of how we had met and our journey to where we are now. This was a brilliant, thoughtful ceremony conducted by someone who genuinely cares about people and she is brilliant at what she does! Couldn’t recommend Nikki highly enough!”

I love working with all my couples and creating bespoke ceremonies for them. No ceremony is the same, they are all so completely different as we humans are all completely unique which is what makes this world so amazing!

Thanks guys .jackson.92754 & Shelly ❤️

Funeral Celebrants play a pivotal role in creating meaningful, personalised ceremonies that honour the life of a loved one while supporting grieving families through one of the most challenging times of their lives. There is no rigid format we focus entirely on the individual, reflecting their personality, values, and unique journey.

We take the time to truly understand the person being remembered, through conversations with the family and friends, we gather anecdotes, passions, and defining moments to craft a tribute that is as unique as the person themselves, ensuring the ceremony feels deeply personal and authentic.

We are skilled in working across all faiths, spiritualities, and non-religious perspectives. We respect and accommodate the family’s beliefs, creating a space where everyone can feel connected and comforted.

From the initial meeting to the day of the ceremony, we are hold a steady and empathetic presence. We help families articulate their feelings and thoughts, often giving them words when emotions are too overwhelming. In times of grief, decision-making can feel impossible. We gently guide families through the process, helping them make choices without pressure, ensuring the ceremony reflects their wishes.

A well-crafted funeral can be an important first step in the grieving process, by celebrating a life well-lived and providing moments of connection, we can offer comfort, closure, and even a sense of peace to those left behind.

Being a Funeral Celebrant extends beyond the service itself, we provide ongoing support to families, sharing resources, and simply being a listening ear. By choosing a celebrant, families are not just creating a unique farewell, they are gaining a compassionate confidant to help them navigate their grief and honour their loved one in a way that truly feels meaningful.

We are an amazing bunch of humans dedicated to our work ❤️

What a year 2024 has been for me, filled with some absolutely incredible wedding ceremonies. All completely unique and personalised to my couples.

I love being a Celebrant and with over 800 ceremonies under my belt and moving into my 5th year of Celebrancy next month I can truly say that this has been the most incredible journey. I have worked with so many couples and families for funerals and celebration of life ceremonies and every single one has been a complete honour and privilege.

To receive this lovely email from this morning certainly put a smile on my face thank you 🥰

Here’s to many more wonderful years of doing what I love ❤️

Well what can I say about this absolutely incredible couple! My grande finale wedding ceremony for 2024 and it is going to be amazing. I love everything about them, their unique style, choice of authors, poets, music choice, their goth styling is super interesting! Aristocrat, Historical, Steampunk and DieselPunk and they have their own “Wardroom” massively jealous of this!

We’ve been working on this ceremony for a long time and I cannot wait to deliver it on Saturday!! It’s almost time guys!!! 🖤♥️

The boy who made us parents, the one who made us want more children, who changed our lives forever and certainly for the better, the one and only Ethan Billingham 9 years old today. You made me feel a love like I’d never felt before and being your mummy is the best job in the world ❤️

You amaze us every single day, you have the most beautiful smile, you’re super intelligent, kind, loving, thoughtful, Minecraft obsessed, stroppy, stubborn, rugby loving ace young man ❤️

Super proud of you and cannot believe you’ve been on this planet 9 years already!!! You’re a sensitive soul but keep pushing yourself to do and try new things and we are so proud of how brave you are becoming! And more importantly you can do 1 arm press ups 💪 shame about your music taste… 😂

By far the best 9 years of our lives, without a shadow of a doubt, love you little man, keep being you ❤️

Tonight I received a notification of a lovely review left by a family who I worked with last month to help create the perfect farewell for their lovely mum and life partner Sherry Bradley.

She was unique, she achieved so much in her life. She was a woman of boundless kindness and generosity. She was so STRONG!! She gave her life to those she loved, always putting others before herself. She was a nurturing and supportive mum, always encouraging her children to be the best versions of themselves.

She would be soooo proud of her children, since she left us her granddaughter has been born who she was so excited to meet, Ida Fola Sherry Bradley what a beautiful name and she will be brought up with the same amazing values that Sherry instilled in her children.

Full review:

“We would like to thank you for the service to celebrate the life of beloved mum Sherry Bradley in September. Throughout the process you were caring professional and nothing was too much... from drafts of the euology to making changes minutes before the service. We can honestly say you made things as easy as possible at such a heartbreaking time. You spoke about our mum with the upmost respect and people who attended the service commented how fitting and personal it was to mum. We would highly recommend you and cannot thank you enough. Thankyou ... the Bradley’s”

I really should post more often about funeral ceremonies they are such an important part of everyone’s life, celebrating the life of your loved one and honouring their life. Sherry loved Will I Am and this music was played at the end of her ceremony she loved to sing and dance to it ❤️

I am very excited about tomorrow’s wedding ceremony for a couple who are absolutely meant to be, they have been together 28 years and I am the lucky celebrant to officiate their ceremony. To say this has been a long time in the making is an understatement, but tomorrow is finally the time! ❤️

They did the legalities last month in Vegas and will have their wedding celebration ceremony with all their family and friends here with me and I cannot wait 🥰

Not long to go

See you tomorrow! 🤩

What an exceptionally busy week I’ve had trying to get everything wrapped up ready for a few days away in the sunshine with the girls ☀️💃

Earlier this week I received these stunning photos through from wedding ceremony back in July.

These special moments were captured by showing the importance of choosing an amazing photographer or in this case photographers Andrew & Emma.

This was a very special wedding ceremony held at one of my favourite venues

Stephen & Kimberley wanted to enhance their ceremony with a hand fasting, as their hands were bound together, so too are their hearts and souls. They wanted to include the four elements into their ceremony as Kimberley is very spiritual, representing the foundation of their relationship and the natural forces that will guide them in their marriage. Earth Air Fire Water 💫

Everything about this ceremony was perfect and we had their perfect little French Bulldog Pablo sign the certificate with his paw. How happy does Billy the best man look holding the certificate 🥰

Thank you so much for sharing these images, evoking brilliant memories of an amazing ceremony.

Love you guys 😘
