Adam Davies - Celebrant

The sun is shining and thoughts are turning to a traditional summer favourite.
Scones!
Whether it's cream or jam first on a scone, everyone has their own way of doing things—and that's what makes it special!
Whilst everybody has an opinion, the only one that really counts is yours.
Perhaps you don't want traditional, perhaps you like to change things up with a plain scone with a cream and jam dipping sauce.
Or throw the scone away and eat the cream with a spoon!!

When it comes to your ceremony, it’s your day, so do it your way! Celebrate how you want, and let every moment reflect you."

I can help by ensuring your ceremony is truly personal and unique to you. Working closely with you to understand your vision, preferences, and personality, creating a tailored ceremony that reflects your values and style. Whether you want something traditional, modern, quirky, or relaxed, I will ensure that your special day matches how you enjoy your scones, it's all about your choice!

I saw this piece of artwork and it made me laugh.
We live in a world that's ever changing and modernising and the same is true of our celebrations and ceremonies.
Why not add something like this to your big day. It's fun and unique, just like you are and just like your ceremony should be.
Not everyone is likely to include something like this, but I certainly would.

There are still many people that don't know what a celebrant is.
Let me be clear.
A celebrant is a person that writes and officiates ceremonies for life's big ocassions.
Naming ceremonies, weddings and funerals.
That's what I do.
..it has nothing to do with the other thing. 🙄

February was such a short month that our death cafe has rolled around again.

It's a great chance for you to chat about death and dying with people who care.
Making uncomfortable conversations, comfortable.
I'll be there, hope you will be too.

'Hi, the guy in this cheesy headshot is me.
I am a celebrant.
I make your ceremony awesome.
If you want tears, laughter, and the right amount of crowd control, call me.
If not, scroll on and enjoy another generic wedding photo.'

Are you and your partner arguing like cats and dogs, trying to organise your ceremony?
Don't worry, as a celebrant, I can help bring peace to your planning!

As a neutral guide, a celebrant can ease the tension, mediate tricky conversations, and create a personalized ceremony that reflects both of your personalities.
'll help keep things calm, focused, and remind you what brought you together in the first place.

Getting hitched doesn't have to mean getting heated! Let me make your special day smooth and meaningful.

As a celebrant, writing is a huge part of my job and there's nothing I enjoy more than a good portmanteau. (Smashing two words together to make a new one).
Today my son came up with one I had to share when he asked me if I was going to work at the "cemetorium" (Cemetery/Crematorium).
😁😁😁

This Christmas, let's take a moment to pause, reflect, and embrace the beauty of togetherness.
Remember those that are no longer with us and appreciate those that are.
It's not about the gifts but the love we give, the kindness we share, and the memories we create.
May your holiday season be filled with peace, gratitude, and joy.
Merry Christmas to all.

Today is Funeral Celebrant day!

I know, I know. There's a day for EVERYTHING these days.
But we're not asking for donations, or trying to get you to wear florescent pink clothing.
It's simply a day to spread awareness of what a celebrant is and what we do.

Most people think that a celebrant is just somebody assigned to the bereaved by a funeral director, but the truth is you have a choice about who you want to perform your ceremony.
You can choose the celebrant that best fits you or your person.

I personally, try to avoid time-lines.
(One client referred to them as an impersonal CV of life).
Instead I opt for hearing the stories you and your loved ones shared and weaving them into a naturally flowing tribute, inclulding all those things that made them so dear to you.

I have been referred to by many as a calming presence.
A generally unflappable person that takes things in their stride.

A calm celebrant is exactly what you need for your big day!
Whether it's a wedding, vow renewal, or special ceremony, my steady presence keeps everything grounded, even when emotions run high.
My composure helps create a peaceful atmosphere, ensures everything runs smoothly, and reassures everyone involved.
When things get stressful, a calm celebrant is the anchor that keeps the day flowing with ease.
Perfect for creating those unforgettable, serene moments!

Perhaps you love pineapple on pizza, perhaps you hate it.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, do what's right for you.
But it's not just about pizza, my indifference could be the key to your perfect ceremony!
Why? Because neutrality allows me to focus entirely on you and your vision. No strong opinions or agendas—just the flexibility to craft an event that reflects your personality, beliefs, and story.

My ability to remain impartial means I'm adaptable, calm under pressure, and there to make your day shine, without imposing any of my own views.

Always fully supportive and happy to give ideas when requested, but ultimately what happens on your day is for nobody to decide but you. My only concern is making it the best day it can be.

Sometimes, indifference is exactly what makes the magic happen!

As well as loving the movies and TV shows of the 80's and 90's, being a life-long Star Wars fan and absorbing the (relatively recent) influx of mainstream pop culture,
I have been a comic book reader for a long time.

As a way to reach the wider nerd community that might need my services, I have had these cards made.

If you, or someone else you know, is looking for a celebrant to offer a specialist service, then follow the link below.

Or, if you still want a more traditional service, with the reassurance that your celebrant "gets you", I am your people.

Proud to be the featured celebrant on the AOIC page today.
A fantastic organisation that not only offer an excellent directory of celebrants, but a source of great support to the celebrant community.

✨Today's featured celebrant is Adam Davies - Celebrant, conducting ceremonies in Salisbury and the surrounding Wiltshire areas.

“I am and always have been a people pleaser. As such, I have always gone out of my way to make sure other people are happy. It is one of my defining characteristics and one that makes for a great celebrant.

“I come from a background of writing and performing, so have a significant understanding of how the slightest nuance can affect a ceremony. So, if you want to go big and bold, we can make that happen, if you want to keep it quieter or more formal, that’s great too.

“I will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your personal journey.”
