Despite having been a Celebrant for more than four years, I still regularly have feelings of self-doubt 🧡

When I am working with a family and they are looking for support, guidance, understanding and reassurance, it is incredibly important to me that I do the best I possibly can to help them through what is probably one of the worst times in their lives 🧡

I often wonder if my best is good enough 🧡

But, when a message like this unexpectantly pops up in my Google reviews, I am reminded that I must be doing ok 🧡

Thank you so much, J, for taking the time and trouble to write these very kind words🧡

Reviews and testimonials mean the world to small business owners like myself 🧡

I was happy to see searches for 'tuxedo for wedding' have risen by almost 25% since last year, with more couples embracing a glamorous, American-inspired look for their wedding suits 🧡

There is something about a tuxedo that brings out a little 'Je ne sais quoi' 🧡

Tuxedos aren't just for the boys however, give them a go girls! 🧡

Soooo dreamy! 🧡

2024 saw a lot of florals and next year looks set for even more 🧡

Hand-painted petals on luxurious fabric, 3D flowers adding volume and texture, and intricate beaded florals are all part of the look 🧡

Think beyond dresses to veils, ties, waistcoats, belts and even shoes 🧡

Love is in the air and on the dessert table! Heart-shaped wedding cakes are on the rise 🧡

2024 sees the launch of the first ever Funeral Celebrant Day. A chance for funeral celebrants to educate their communities about all the choices available to them for their final farewell and to explain just exactly what they do 🧡

We know how valuable, unique and supportive our role is but we also know that, for many people, we won’t be on their radar until they are actually bereaved, which is possibly not the best time to explain the intricacies of our role 🧡

Funeral celebrants can make a massive difference to someone’s journey of grief… a funeral done well has an entirely different outcome to one that has been less carefully thought about 🧡

Although I am a fully autonomous, self-employed business, I work closely with Funeral Directors and Funeral Arrangers to help ensure every service meets the needs of the family and their loved one as smoothly as possible 🧡

Most people will only be faced with organising a funeral once or twice in their life and so they may not be aware of the breadth of support a funeral celebrant will offer – from supporting with the ceremony to suggesting additional content such as candle ceremonies, sing-a-longs or symbolic gestures like rosemary wreaths for remembrance, how to include children in the service and even advising on florists, caterers, cars and alternative venues - Funeral services do NOT have to take place in a church or crematorium! 🧡

Please contact me if you would like to find out more about planning a Celebration Of Life or writing your eulogy. I'd love to chat 🧡

🧡I was overjoyed to receive these wonderful words from Amy and Mat, whose wedding ceremony was held on a beautiful September Saturday!

🧡'Elegant. Eloquent. Effervescent! Three great words to describe Heather! We wanted a relaxed, family-oriented wedding with touches of tradition and elements of fun. Heather matched our energy and excitement and made us feel comfortable from the moment we met. We instantly loved her gentle, kind and reassuring confidence and she was as excited about our wedding as we were x
A great source of help and advice, Heather was easy to talk to and always happy to help. When lots of changes suddenly occurred in the days before our wedding, she prepared different versions of our ceremony if needed (father-in-law taken ill, family stuck overseas, best man nerves and the possibility of a surprise dinosaur!). She had it covered, including last-minute changes to our ceremony space to make room for my dress! On the day, she worked seamlessly and ably with our suppliers and venue team - she even chose to complement our wedding colours in her own outfit 🥰 From big moments to the smallest detail, our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect - relaxed, fun and full of love, and Heather was a key part in that x

A consummate professional and now lovely friend too - we highly recommend Heather for your wedding ceremony x

Thank you for everything Heather xx'

🧡 Thank YOU, Amy and Mat. It was an absolute pleasure!! xx

"Now where is she off to?" I hear you say🧡

What people don’t see is what happens before the ceremony starts. I always arrive early to check everything is in place and we are all set to go.

When I arrived at Houchins Farm a couple of weeks ago for Amy and Mat's wedding, the ceremony space was all set up and looking fab. I caught up with Mat and then went to see Amy, who was getting ready in the beautiful farmhouse.

As soon as I saw Amy's stunning dress, I knew there was going to be a problem – a lot of dress and not a lot of ceremony space!

Wayne (Houchins Manager) helped me move the wedding circle and table back a few feet and I took a snap of the new layout.

In this photo (taken by the amazing ) you can see me heading back to check Amy is ok with the changes - just one of the many things a Celebrant takes care of, to make sure your ceremony is absolutely PERFECT 🧡

Do you know someone who has recently been bereaved? Have you spoken to them lately? Are they REALLY ok? 🧡

All too often, we put on a brave face when inside we are really struggling, we feel lost, we feel isolated. Yet we don't want to be a bother to our family and friends 🧡

Saying "Let me know if you need anything" is not always enough. Call them, suggest having a coffee or going for a walk 🧡

You probably won't be able to fix things, but sometimes, just listening and showing you care is enough 🧡

Bouncy castles aren't just for the children 🧡

I just love the pure joy in these photos. They make me smile! 🧡
