Keely the Celebrant

I am an award winning family Celebrant who creates bespoke ceremonies for a lifetime of celebrations throughout the South West of the UK and beyond

Hi, I'm Keely, and I'm a Celebrant, and this is a role that I LOVE! I believe that Life can be short, so LIVE it! Don’t dream, PLAN and make it happen. Love freely, laugh always, finding the joy in the smallest of moments is what life is all about. As a person I am Warm, Creative, Passionate, Authentic, Thoughtful, Rustic, Expressive, Inclusive, Personal, Engaging, Sincere, Playful, Reflective, E

mpathetic, Professional and I bring this to my role and all my ceremonies

As I grow older I am finding a more relaxed boho kinda vibe suits me, I have spent so long in the corporate world, and my new journey is re-awakening me and my sense of who I am and who I want to be, and I feel this comes across in how I engage with others. I find myself smiling a lot, to the point that a recent contact I made at a wedding fair has nick-named me as the Smiley Celebrant! I would LOVE to work with you and create your unique Celebration of Love!

✨ Out of Office (ish)… ✨

Just a little note to say I’m taking a short break to rest, reset, and soak up some precious time with my favourite humans (and probably a few sea breezes and Cornish cream teas while I’m at it 🫖💛).

Being a celebrant is a job of the heart – and every now and then, this heart needs a top-up of joy, laughter, and maybe a lazy lie-in or two.

I’ll be back soon, full of stories, ideas, and even more love for what I do. If you’re waiting to hear from me, thank you for your patience – I promise I’ll be back in touch as soon as I’m home and my inbox has stopped giving me side-eye.

Until then, take care, stay kind, and keep dreaming up your beautiful “I dos.” ✨

With love and sunscreen,
Keely x

Planning your big day should feel joyful — not like you’ve taken on a second full-time job with a glitter budget 😅💍✨

So here’s your gentle reminder: it’s okay to take a breath. Protecting your peace is part of the process. Try these simple soul-savers:

🛑 Take breaks when it all feels like too much

🙅‍♀️ Don’t say yes to everything just to keep the peace — your boundaries matter

🚫 Set “no wedding talk” zones to reclaim your evenings

💞 Make time with your partner that isn’t about table plans

💍 Remember: it’s about your marriage, not just the event

Planning a wedding is a big deal — but it shouldn’t dim your joy. You’ve got this (and if you need help grounding your ceremony in meaning, I’m your gal).

Big celebration or intimate affair? ✨💍

Choosing your guest list might just be the trickiest part of planning — it’s where heartstrings meet headspace.

Too many guests can stretch the budget and shift the vibe to “event” rather than “experience.” But too few? And you might be leaving out people who’ve danced through your life right alongside you.

It really comes down to what matters most:
💛 Your priorities
🏛️ Your venue size
🌟 And the kind of atmosphere you want to create

So tell us — what’s your magic number?

This mood-board is giving modern romance in all the right ways… ✨💍

Delicate lace details, soft florals, golden rings, and muted neutrals — it’s elegance without the fuss, intimacy without the formality, and beauty that feels effortless and timeless.

Perfect for couples who want a wedding that whispers luxury, not shouts it.

Would this colour palette make it onto your vision board?

Let us know your vibe — and drop a 🎨 if this feels like your kind of magic 💬👇

Let’s talk about the other cake… 🎂

Traditionally, the groom’s cake was a fun, personal dessert that gave a little nod to him — his hobbies, quirks, or favourite flavours.

Think: football team logo, a cheeky inside joke, or even a stack of donuts disguised as a cake (yes, really).

It’s not a must-have, but it is a great way to add some personality and playfulness to your day — especially if the main cake is all elegance and florals.

Would you include a groom’s cake at your celebration, or give it a miss?

Tell us your thoughts below — and if you did have one, what would it be? 👀💬

Your bridesmaids aren’t just there for the matching dresses and cute Insta pics (though yes, they’ll absolutely slay those too 💁‍♀️✨)

They’re your support squad, emotional backup, and full-time hype team — here’s what they really sign up for:

👗 Planning partners – dress shopping, DIY projects, bridal shower magic

📆 Showing up – fittings, hen do antics, and all the key moments

🧘‍♀️ Keeping you calm – especially when the nerves kick in on the morning of the big day

🍓 Feeding you snacks – because no one wants a fainting bride (protein bar in one hand, lipstick in the other)

💃 Bringing the energy – from getting ready to tearing up the dance floor, they set the vibe

It’s more than a title — it’s a role wrapped in love, laughter, and way too many group chat gifs.

Brides!

As the solstice sun lingers a little longer in the sky, we’re reminded of the rituals that light up love stories all over the world 🔥🌿✨

From ancient customs to modern twists, every culture brings its own flavour of magic to a wedding day:

🔸 In Greece, the groom’s friends gather to dress him — laughter, teasing, and teamwork guaranteed

🔸 In Mexico, a lasso encircles the couple, tying them together in unity and protection

🔸 In Japan, a sake-sharing ritual called san san kudo seals their vows in three sacred sips

🔸 In Scotland, brides may be joyfully doused in flour, soot, and feathers (yes, it’s a thing — and it’s for luck!)

🔸 And in South Korea? The groom’s feet get a cheeky beating with fish or sticks before he can see his bride — a bizarre, bonding moment if ever there was one

Whether solemn or silly, these traditions remind us: love is shared, sacred… and sometimes a bit strange!

DIY weddings — magical or mildly unhinged? 🎨😅

From hand-lettered signs to home-baked favours, many couples dive into the world of wedding DIY with Pinterest dreams and a craft cupboard full of hope.

But let’s be honest... sometimes it’s totally worth it and other times? You find yourself crying into a pile of twine at 2am.

So tell us — did you DIY any part of your big day?
Was it a triumph or would you call in the pros next time?

🧘‍♀️💍 International Yoga Day – The Flexibility of Love! 🧘‍♂️💛

Marriage is all about balance, flexibility, and deep breaths—sound familiar, yogis? 😉 Whether it’s mastering the art of compromise, keeping calm during wedding planning, or simply perfecting that lean-in for the first kiss, love and yoga have a lot in common!

As a celebrant, I help couples create ceremonies that flow beautifully, no awkward twists required! But tell me—if love was a yoga pose, which one would it be? Downward ‘I Do’? 🧘‍♀️💍

Absolutely. In fact — please do 😂💍

If laughter is part of your love story (and let’s face it, it usually is), let it shine through. A cheeky line, a shared in-joke, or a giggle-worthy memory can turn your vows into something unforgettable — real, personal, and so you.

Just remember: the best humour comes from the heart, not a comedy script. It’s not about the punchline — it’s about the connection.

So, what’s your style?
💘 Sweet and sentimental?
😂 Funny and light-hearted?
Or a glorious mix of both?

Tell us how you’d write your vows — we’re all ears (and tissues)! 💬👇

A smooth wedding day? It all starts with a timeline that actually works — one that keeps things flowing without turning your day into a military operation 💃⏰✨

Here’s how to build one that gives you more time to soak it all in:

1️⃣ Start with your ceremony time and plan backwards — the rest will fall into place
2️⃣ Add buffer time between key moments — think travel, outfit changes, and those impromptu hugs
3️⃣ Don’t forget to eat, breathe, and freshen up (trust me, future-you will thank you)
4️⃣ Share it with your dream team — your photographer, planner, and wedding party need to know the plan
5️⃣ And if you’re dreaming of those golden hour photos? Factor that sunshine in ☀️

A thoughtful timeline = less stress, more joy, and space to feel every moment fully.

Are you in timeline-planning mode yet? Got questions or tips? Pop them in the comments! 💬💍
