✨THE LEGAL BIT✨

This is Nick and Jules. I was their celebrant on their wonderful summer wedding day last June, when they said ‘I do’ surrounded by their family and friends. This week they did ‘the legal bit.’

They spent a few days in a swanky hotel in Manchester and had a beautiful festive elopement, just the two of them.

Couples often ask me when they should ‘do the legal bit’ if they choose to have a celebrant-led wedding, and my answer is always the same…whenever you like!

I know most couples tend to do the paperwork before their wedding day, but it honestly does not matter. Why not enjoy a wonderful summer wedding and a romantic, festive elopement like Nick and Jules? Anything is possible. Have your day, your way ♥️

Thank you and for choosing me to be your celebrant on your most special day, and for allowing me to share this pic of you both looking fabulous! ✨

♥️Clint & Andy♥️

All the weddings I conduct fill me with joy, but sometimes you get a ceremony that just makes you so full to the brim of happiness and love that it takes a while to process it all. Yesterday was one of those days…

Clint and Andy are just the sweetest couple, who have overcome some big hurdles over the last eight years to be together. They made it really clear from our first meet up that the day was not just about them, it was about saying a huge thank you’ to everyone who had supported them on their journey so far.

There were so many lovely touches to their day. Their best friends walked them down the aisle, their mums were ring bearers, and they involved close friends with a beautiful reading and the signing of a wedding certificate.

I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house as they walked back down the aisle to ‘A Million Dreams’ by Pink

To top it all off, after the ceremony, the most amazing alpacas appeared to hang out with guests for a while (scroll for the pic of Wolfie and Nutellio looking dapper!) and it looked like there was going to be an almighty party following the ceremony! I’m just sorry I couldn’t stay for it.

So much love to you and .b103 Thank you for choosing me as your celebrant. I have loved every minute of getting to know and I wish you both so much happiness. You flippin’ deserve it! X

A fabulous team of suppliers also made this day possible:

✨WORLD CELEBRANTS WEEK✨

This week is World Celebrants Week, and I have to admit, that in a haze of sick children, sleepless nights, and generally juggling life with all my celebrant stuff, I have completely forgotten to post anything about it.

However, I have really enjoyed seeing all the positivity around Celebrancy this week. Not just from other celebrants, but from really supportive venues and other wedding suppliers. I can feel a real shift in attitude towards having a celebrant on your big day, and that’s such a great step!

I love this role so much. I love seeing happy faces, being a part of the most memorable day in people’s lives, and meeting amazing people at beautiful venues.

Thank you to all the couples who have trusted me with their wedding ceremony so far, and all those that are to come.

If you have had a positive experience of working with a celebrant, whether you’re a couple who had one of us on your big day, or a supplier who has seen how great having a celebrant can be, please leave a comment below. Let’s spread the word about why celebrants are bloody great!

Happy World Celebrant Week to all my fellow celebrants! ✨❤️

✨TWIA 2025✨

I had a fabulous evening at The Wedding Industry Awards last night. I’m lucky enough to have worked with quite a few of the North West’s winners and they are truly deserving of their trophies!

While last night wasn’t my night, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all my couples who took the time to vote for me. I really am so grateful. I am very proud to be a finalist, and that’s thanks to you wonderful people!

Now, let’s get back to writing more awesome ceremonies and creating magical wedding days for all my 2025 couples! I still have a few more 2024 ceremonies to go too, and they are going to be fabulous! ✨

🧡Jenna & Luke🧡

I always have a little soft spot for childhood sweethearts, and Jenna and Luke are no exception. They first met when they were sixteen and Jenna immediately knew that Luke was the boy for her. It took them a few years to get together, but now, eleven years later, they finally tied the knot!

Jenna and Luke celebrated their wedding surrounded by friends and family, with their little girl Harlow by their side as the most special VIP guest. They had a very cute mini ring bearer, and there were lots of laughs as we took a trip down memory lane, recalling some of the funny things that have happened to this lovely couple along the way.

Through thick and thin, Jenna and Luke have stood by each other and yesterday was a chance to celebrate how far they have come. Jenna has even converted Luke to country music (hence a bit of Dolly and Kenny on this post!)

Some of the friendliest suppliers I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside made this day really special…

🪩🎃LUCY & BEN🎃🪩

If you are looking for some autumnal wedding inspo, here it is! There were pumpkins, disco balls, cosy candles, and the most beautiful autumn florals decorating Wyresdale Park on Ben and Lucy’s day last month.

This couple really had thought of everything to make their day unique and totally amazing! Guests had popcorn to snack on during the ceremony, there were WWF-style musical intros for each speech, and parlour games to keep everyone entertained.

It was a pleasure to work alongside who captured the day so perfectly 🧡

❣️Kind words from Ben and Lucy❣️

I absolutely loved being a part of this gorgeous, autumnal wedding at the stunning last month.

Thank you for choosing me as your celebrant and it was such a pleasure! ❣️

⚡️INCLUDING CULTURAL ASPECTS IN YOUR CEREMONY⚡️

One of the many reasons you may want to have a celebrant-led wedding ceremony is the complete freedom it gives you to include any cultural or religious aspects that may be important to you and your partner.

You can blend traditions from different cultures and truly represent you as a couple.

Jason and Ananya’s wedding day back in September did just that. Their ceremony celebrated Ananya’s Indian heritage, combined with a modern take on a typically British wedding ceremony. It reflected them perfectly! I loved being a part of this day and getting to wear something a little different! 💛

(Their photographer is not on Insta, but many thanks for capturing this shot!)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“We can’t thank Jess enough for helping to make our day absolutely perfect. She was extremely helpful, friendly & informative from start to finish. She listened to all our ideas, questions & concerns and guided us both through the whole process brilliantly.

Jess delivered our ceremony & vows with humour & warmth, we are forever grateful.”

Thank you so much for your kind words Gayle & Ste. This was such a fun, sunshine-filled day!

🍁🎃 Ben & Lucy 🎃🍁

I don’t know where to start with this glorious day!

I knew I’d get along with Ben and Lucy as soon as we spoke over a Zoom call last year (they have a beautiful whippet called Dennis, so I was sold immediately!)

These two are just the cutest couple. A pair of creatives who really put their hearts and souls into making sure their wedding day felt like ‘them.’ And it truly did.

They had a gorgeous reading from ‘One Day’ (another reason I knew I loved this pair!). Instead of vows, they read gratitude lists, filled with all the things they love about each other.

Their ceremony was filled with funny anecdotes and heartfelt stories. So many of Lucy and Ben’s family came up to me following the ceremony to thank me for capturing them so well as a couple. I can’t tell you how nice that feels!

Lucy walked down the aisle to The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m in Love’ and they walked out as Mr & Mrs to ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles, which were both sung beautifully by the very talented

It was so great to meet so many brilliant suppliers on the day and to work with the team at Wyresdale Park, who are just lovely. It really is an amazing venue.

And to top it all off my dress matched the wedding florals perfectly. I was so thrilled! 😂

As weddings go, this was pretty bloody perfect! 🩷🧡

Thank you and for choosing me as your celebrant. I loved every minute of it xx

💕Lovely words from Jason & Ananya following their amazing wedding at Holmes Mill last month.

It was so much fun working with them and being a part of their day. I also loved learning about Keralan wedding traditions!

Thank you for choosing me as your celebrant ._.k._.m and It was such a pleasure! 💕

✨NICK & STEPH✨

If you’re looking for a sign that you should have an outdoor ceremony, this is it!

It was raining as I drove up the tree lined driveway of the magical back in July for Nick and Steph’s big day, but they held their nerve and believed the sun would appear…and they were right!

If you are considering an outdoor ceremony here’s three reasons you should have a celebrant…

⭐️NO TIME RESTRAINTS
If you book me as your celebrant I’m yours for the day. So, if the forecast says the rain is going to stop at 3pm and you need to push your ceremony back by an hour, it’s totally fine! I take away that element of stress on your day.

⭐️I’M THERE TO HELP
If you need to get all the ceremony seating set out quickly after the showers have stopped (as Nick and Steph did) I’m there to help carrying chairs, setting up ceremony tables, or ferrying guests to their seats!

⭐️I’M PREPARED FOR ALL KINDS OF WEATHER
Even if the rain doesn’t stop, I’ll be prepared. I can pack my wellies and umbrella if needs be…the weather will not spoil your ceremony.

These pictures are proof that outdoor ceremonies can be truly wonderful, even when we live in the damp UK!

Thanks to for capturing Nick and Steph’s day so beautifully, and to Nick and Steph for choosing me to be your celebrant✨

Well, what an amazing birthday present this is! I am officially a regional finalist in The Wedding Industry Awards!

Huge, huge thanks to all my couples that took the time to vote for me, it really does mean the world to me. Big love to you all ♥️

Happy October everyone! 🍁🍂

I like the changing of the seasons, so I’m quite excited for autumn (although I want crisp, sunny days, rather than grey drizzle please!)

October is my birthday month too, so that’s always a bonus!

It’s all change this month as my youngest starts nursery for two days a week, so I will have whole days to dedicate to being a celebrant again. I am so excited! 🙌🏻

I’m also going to be at two of my absolute favourite venues for wedding showcases this month.

This Sunday, 6th October I’ll be at the fabulous

Then, on Sunday, 20th October I’ll be at for their wedding fayre, along with loads of great suppliers.

Whether you are a couple who has already booked one these great venues, or you’re just starting out on your planning journey, come along and have a chat with me about all things wedding ceremony!

I hope to see some of you there 💕

So that’s it, the end to a gorgeous 10 days in Mallorca. We’re up early and off to the airport and the gloomy UK!

It’s been amazing, but holidaying with little kids is hard work! We’ll all be sad to leave the beach, pool, sangria, and gambas pil pil behind, but I’m also looking forward to getting back to our new home and Ian the dog.

I have lots to be excited about in the next few months with some amazing wedding ceremonies, wedding fayres at some of my fave venues, and meetings with loads of new couples. Bring it on! 🙌🏻

If you fancy a chat about your big day, and possibly having me as your celebrant, give me a shout! ⚡️

Lovely words from Jenna and Luke following their gorgeous wedding last month. Hearing that my couple have shed tears after reading their ceremony for the first time always tells me I’ve done a good job with the script! Thank you @jenmarbroadhurst and @luke_broadhurst It was a pleasure being a part of your day (even if I did have to give Luke a few nudges to write his vows!) 💕 #kindwords #celebrantlancashire #celebrantcheshire #celebrantmanchester #realwedding #allyouneedislove

Just a little video update from me. I’m writing Jason & Ananya’s ceremony this morning which includes some lovely elements from Indian culture. The beauty of having a celebrant is that you can include absolutely any cultural or religious aspects you like in your ceremony. Your ceremony can truly reflect your culture, heritage, and beliefs. This wedding going to be an exciting one! 🩷 #indianwedding #thalamprocession #hinduweddingf #weddingcelebrant

Alex and Rick’s big day at the Castlefield Rooms last month had such a classy, Hollywood glamour, feel to it. It was gorgeous (just like them!) @mitchellfilmsuk was there to capture every amazing moment of their wedding, and I’m sure the full length film of this fabulous day is fantastic. I still pinch myself sometimes that I get to be part of days like this! I can’t wait for many more incredible moments like this over summer ♥️ #manchesterwedding #manchestercelebrant #citywedding #cityweddingvenue #manchesterweddingvenue #manchesterweddingsuppliers #castlefield #blacktie #celebrant #weddingcelebrant #personalweddingceremony #allyouneedislove

👶 If you have kids and you’re worried about them getting in the way when we are planning your wedding or naming day, DON’T BE! I totally understand that kids don’t always play ball when you want them to, so I am really flexible when it comes to timings for Zoom calls, or meeting up with children in tow. I’m also really not worried if kids like to make themselves heard on your wedding day. Ceremonies can always be paused if needs be! Please don’t worry about it! 👶 #namingday #namingceremony #namingdayceremony #namingcelebrant #celebrant #workingmum #weddingplanning #weddingcelebrant #kidfriendlywedding #celebrantcheshire #celebrantlancashire #celebrantmanchester
