I'm a fun, friendly, colourful Celebrant. I create bespoke weddings, vow renewals & naming ceremonies
(1)
I'm a bit quirky and love bringing my fun-loving energy to celebrations. I have a European Theatre Arts degree and also run a Zumba business so I am very used to being in front of and performing to lots of people. Having this creative streak and connecting with people on a personal level enables me to weave their stories into their own ceremony.
Are you celebrating a special event with your family and friends?
Is it a wedding, vow renewal, naming or renaming ceremony?
If so get in touch with me, Cat Hopkins Celebrant today. I create beautifully crafted and bespoke ceremonies which will be as unique as you and your celebration.

Hey, I'm Cat, a Hampshire based Independent Celebrant, most of my ceremonies are in and around Hampshire, but I am available (and happy) to travel.
🗺️Tell me in the comments (roughly) where abouts you are or where you are planning on having your wedding.🌎
One of the many wonderful things about Independent Celebrants is that there is so much freedom for you! It can be anywhere you want!!!

This is a subject that comes up a lot. Let me firstly state that in England, at the time of writing, Celebrants can not currently legally marry anyone. However, there is a Marriage Law Reform going through parliament, which Celebrants are hoping will change this fact.
However, you do not need to have a Registrar on your wedding day. Let me explain, a lot of couples are now choosing to have a “2-by-2” ceremony at the registry office, this means the couple and two witnesses go to the registry office for a short ceremony to do the legal part of the marriage (often referred to colloquially as the “wedmin”). Most of these couples use this as a great excuse for an extra celebration and they go out for a meal afterwards with their witnesses. This can be done anytime before or after their Celebrant-led ceremony.

🌟 Shoutout to the Amazing Wedding Photographers! 📸💍
As a Celebrant, I get to witness countless beautiful moments, but it's YOU, the incredible photographers, who capture them forever! 📷✨
Thank you for freezing those fleeting glances, joyful tears, and all the magic in between. Without you, these memories wouldn't be the timeless treasures they are! 🥂❤️
Here’s to more picture-perfect moments together! 🥰🎉
If you are a wedding photographer say "hi" in the comments and let's connect.
These pictures are from the amazing Anna Chalk Photography who creates some wonderful masterpieces.
"What is a Celebrant?" If I had a pound for every time I hear that!
Basically we are the magical fairies that allow you to have the day of your dreams no matter what it may look like.

Or you may be wanting a totally quirky themed ceremony.
Orr one with loads of unique special moments like surprise ring bearers or whole group sing-along.
Or if that's not your bag, how about a group shot?
Whatever your vision, get in touch with your fave Celebrant (which is me by the way) and get chatting about your special day!

🍦🌈Do you have Rainbow Ice-cream where you live? I do!!!🌈🍦
Tell me your favourite ice-cream in the comments below 👇
I am super lucky to be able to call Lee-on-the-Solent my hometown these days. Growing up nearby we would regularly visit and there are two café/ice-cream places pretty much next to each other, The Bluebird and The Penguin.
Both of these places have a brilliant array of ice-creams and other food and drink options. However, as a kid I was loyal to the Bluebird (now I'm an ice-cream fl**zy and there are more ice-cream places locally now too). They still often get my custom as they are the only place I am aware of that make the Mr Whippy Rainbow ice-cream!
No, this is not an advert and I am no way affiliated with any café or ice-cream place. I have had friends visit and they have mentioned how awesome this was and that I should share it on my Instagram 😂🍦

😎🔆What have your summer holidays looked like?🌞🏖️
Where are you going/ have you been?
We went to the Isle of Wight for a little 4 day/ 3 night stay.
We stayed at an Airbnb in Sandown and managed to fit a lot of activities into the trip!
I don't have many photos (I am not keen on putting pics of my kids on my socials), here's a few pics.
If you are interested in visiting the Isle of Wight I can recommend the below (see links below):
Blackgang Chine - A fab, family day out with someone for everyone. Blackgang Chine- Land of Imagination
Wight Coast Fossils - Fossil hunting trip at Compton Bay, amazing and informative tour. Wight Coast Fossils
Butterfly World - Beautiful butterflies and reptiles etc. Very humid, obviously, so the littles did complain a bit.
Sandown beach - Nice sandy beach with a pier and small high-street nearby.
Dinosaur Isle - Amazing Dinosaur museum, fantastic fossils and bones, you can even control an animatronic dino!
Isle of Wight Needles - Loads of great tourist attractions there, rides, shops, sweet shop with demonstration etc.
Donkey Sanctuary - If you love donkeys, this is the place for you! They have a huge amount of donkeys that they have rescued and are now looking after. It's free and relies on donations, but they do not pressure you loads to donate.
There are still plenty of trips and activities we have added to our list for our next visit.
Where is next on your bucket list holiday destination? Tell me in the comments 👇
So they tell us not to put all our eggs in one basket 🧺 🥚
Well, I kept forgetting that we already had eggs in the fridge when I went shopping, so kept on buying more each time. I guess I now have my eggs in three baskets (or boxes).
Yes, there was a moment when we had 30 eggs! No, I am not a baker!
Wedding related? Kind of...
When it comes to planning your wedding there are so many things to think about, this is where making list and learning to delegate to your trusted friends and family can come in handy.
Things like, making sure certain payments are made or appointments kept (your people can remind you to check these things if each person has certain areas they are responsible for).
Or if you're making your own invitations, favours, centrepieces etc, ask your crafty friends to help.
Thus, your people can become your baskets. Spread out the to-do list and let your loved ones help you 🥰
Serious question time: do you keep your eggs in the fridge or on the counter?

Pre-ceremomy Vs Post-ceremony!
Still rocking the rainbow colours and of course a smile 😊🥰🌈
I am absolutely honoured to be able to create and officiate weddings. I absolutely love it!!!
Today's ceremony was full of love and plenty of laughter too 🥰😂 the happy couple are now enjoying the rest of the day with all their amazing friends and family so I've left them to it and gone home to my own family.
With young kids at home, my hair is often tied up and I don't wear my best clothes as there will inevitably be the paints or Play-Doh out at some point this afternoon 😂 so I am back into my everyday clothes, but I am keeping the vibes of love and fun 🥰
Congratulations B&T on your special day 🎉🍾🥂🥰
were great fun at Amy and Ruth's wedding! Even Mr Hopkins got involved 😂
🌞 Excitement is in the Air! 🌞
I am absolutely thrilled for the upcoming summer weddings! 💍✨ The season of sunshine, love, and beautiful ceremonies is here, and I can't wait to celebrate with all the wonderful couples. From gorgeous hotels to garden parties, each ceremony is a unique reflection of love and commitment.
Let's make this summer unforgettable! 🌸
✨ Choosing Your Ceremony Style ✨
Check out my "high-quality" diagrams! Also, you can mix it up. Seated for some, stood for some etc.
Your wedding ceremony is a reflection of your unique love story, and how you stand or sit during this special moment can add a personal touch. Here are some beautiful ways to make it uniquely yours:
1️⃣ Traditional Stand: Face each other as you exchange vows, with your celebrant standing in the centre. This classic setup keeps the focus on your heartfelt words and expressions.
2️⃣ Side by Side: Stand or sit side by side facing your guests. This setup fosters a sense of partnership and equality, highlighting the journey you’re embarking on together.
3️⃣ Seated Serenity: Opt for a seated ceremony. Comfortable chairs or a cosy loveseat can create a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, perfect for a serene and heartfelt vow exchange.
4️⃣ Circle of Love: Stand in a circle surrounded by your loved ones. This intimate arrangement symbolises unity and inclusiveness, making everyone feel a part of your special day.
5️⃣ Backyard Bliss: For a more casual feel, stand or sit in a natural setting. A garden, beach, or forest backdrop can enhance the beauty and tranquillity of your ceremony.
No matter how you choose to arrange your ceremony, make sure it resonates with your personalities and love story. Let’s create a moment that’s uniquely yours! 💖

I've had the most brilliant day with friends (who, let's face it, are my military family) at the awesome Soul Escape
What a wonderful day of love, music, movement, wellbeing, fun and food!

Today I am at the amazing Soul Escape in Lincolnshire with some gorgeous friends. I miss my Lincolnshire people so much and wish I could have seen more friends, but it was a fleeting visit for Soul Escape. This does however, go to show that I am willing to travel for events. So, although I live in Hampshire, if you would like to book me as your Celebrant I am happy to travel!
Soul Escape is a wonderful festival of Yoga, music and wellbeing and all-round hippy, positivity.
I went a couple of years ago and loved it, so I was very excited to be able to go again this year. I am not a yogi particularly, I dabble in some Yoga/ Pilates on YouTube and I enjoy mindfulness and meditating when I can. This festival is such a lovely, peaceful, joyful place and enables people to try different types of classes. Last time I did Laughing Yoga and I truly did laugh a lot!
What hobbies do you enjoy, even if it's just dabbling here and there?
Soul Escape
💖When I get messages from the couple or family the day after their ceremony and they are just buzzing still, it is so awesome and I am totally here for it.
All reviews are truly appreciated. 💖
If I have been your Celebrant or you've been a guest at a ceremony I have been the Celebrant for please do leave me a review either on ✉️Google reviews, The Celebrant Directory or DM me (or even better, all of the above)💌.

When I receive a couple's questionnaire back I absolutely always love it! Being able to find out about them, where they met, what they think of each other and how they have grown together is always so moving and they often have some absolutely hilarious stories in there too, which is awesome!

Staying warm at a winter wedding is essential for your comfort and enjoyment. Let me know your winter wedding tips in the comments 👇 Here are some of my top tips to help keep you and your guests cozy: 1) Dress appropriately: Choose a dress or suit with warm, heavy fabrics like velvet, wool, or satin. Layer clothing to trap heat, such as wearing thermal undergarments beneath your outfit. 2) Faux fur accessories: Consider wearing a faux fur stole, shawl, or jacket to add both style and warmth to your attire. 3) Warm footwear: Opt for closed-toe shoes or boots to keep your feet warm and dry. Consider thermal insoles or thick socks for extra insulation. 4) Gloves and hand warmers: Wear elegant gloves that match your outfit. Consider discreet hand warmers to keep your hands warm, especially during outdoor ceremonies or photo sessions. 5) Hot beverages: Provide hot drinks like mulled wine, hot cocoa, or specialty winter cocktails for your guests. Set up a beverage station with warm options for guests to enjoy. 6) Blankets and wraps: Offer cozy blankets or wraps for guests to use during the ceremony or outdoor activities. Display them in a decorative manner to enhance the wedding decor. 7) Heated venue: Choose a wedding venue with a reliable heating system. Check that the heating is working well in advance of the wedding day. 8) Plan for shorter outdoor periods: If you have outdoor photo sessions or activities, keep them brief to minimize exposure to the cold. 9) Communicate with your guests: Let your guests know that it's a winter wedding, so they can dress warmly and be prepared. Encourage them to bring their own layers if necessary. 10) Dance the night away: Encourage dancing to keep everyone moving and warm. Hire a lovely band or DJ to keep the energy up! #cathopkinscelebrant #wedding #winterwedding #engaged #weddingday #weddinginspo #alternativewedding #untraditionalwedding #hampshirecelebrant #gettingmarried #symbolicceremony #southcoastcelebrant
