Melody Diamond Yorkshire Celebrant

Review time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the pleasure of creating Leah and Alex’s wedding ceremony back in June. It was a last minute booking but it all came together perfectly! I’m so glad they agreed:

‘Worth every penny’
Melody is amazing! We decided to get a celebrant later in the planning process and we are so glad we did. Melody made our ceremony warm and such a special part of the day. She is so friendly and takes the time to get to know you really well as a couple and this shows in her writing. Our friends and family gave glowing responses about the ceremony and Melody made it a stand out! Highly recommend using Melody’s services if you are looking for a celebrant.

Quality of the service: Fantastic
Responsiveness: Fantastic
Value for money: Fantastic

Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful review from a beautiful couple, thanks so much 💕💕💕

The most professional yet down to earth celebrant who created a magical ceremony.

Melody provided us with an outstanding service from start to finish. Melody got to know us on such a personal level that my partner and I truly felt like we’d made a friend who we were able to share our love story with. The funny parts of our friend ship, the emotional love story and the journey we went on. Melody then wrote the most personal script for our ceremony that told our story so perfectly. She had really got to know everything about us. This made our day so much more special as we felt like we had a celebrant who truly knew us and knew what we were about. We are truly grateful for the ceremony Melody created and the help and support she gave us all the way through the planning process. She made us excited about everything and reassured us when we were writing our own vows. Wedding guests commented on how personal Melody’s script was and said how unique the ceremony felt.

Quality of the service: Fantastic

Wonderful feedback from a wonderful couple 💕

‘We absolutely loved the ceremony, it was filled with our personal story and lots of laughs which is just us!

Thank you for everything you did on the day and in the lead up to the day. We were so glad you stayed for the full wedding - you’re so much fun to be around and you made everything so easy for us.’

Aww shucks… It warms my heart to hear from happy couples, knowing that I created their dream wedding ceremony and helped them enjoy their special day! 🥰

Beth and Darius not only enjoyed a personalised and fun wedding ceremony, they also booked my Master of Ceremonies service. I stayed with them all day until after their first dance, making sure them and their guests were well looked after, keeping their day flowing and making key announcements. Have you considered this add-on to your wedding? If not, ask me about it! ✨

I love receiving feedback from my clients 💕💕💕

Whether it’s after a ceremony or when I’ve sent a script across for preview, it’s so lovely to hear your thoughts.

‘We loved the script! So many lovely details and full of warmth. We are looking forward to it!’

Some people like to review their script before their ceremony, suggest tweaks and like to know what to expect, which is a-ok with me 👍🏻

Others like to have a surprise and experience their ceremony on the day itself, which is great too 👌🏼

What type of person are you?! 🤔

Celebrants offer flexibility and choice, unique and personalised experiences. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss your ceremony! 😃

Happy National Pet Day from our crazy, wonderful, sun-loving, ball-loving border collie Rooster 🐾

Are you bringing your pet to your wedding? We get married in just over two weeks and Roo will be walking down the aisle as our Dog of Honour! 🤎

This summer, I’m looking forward to several wedding ceremonies that feature my couples beloved pooch 🐶

Do you love your dog but they’re unable to make your ceremony? Honour them with a fantastic reading by poet Taylor Mali - How Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog 🥹

Happy 💕

I’m very lucky to know, be related to, be friends with and work with a huge amount of wonderful, strong and inspirational women ✨

But the most important and most wonderful of them all is my beautiful mum. She really is the most kind, generous, loving and selfless person in the world. If I can be half the woman she is, I’ll be on to a winner 🌟

💕Happy Valentine’s Day 💕

All my love goes to .dawson34 today, my fiancé (soon to be hubby), my best friend, my soul mate, my karaoke partner, my banter buddy and chief cuddle giver 🥰

Love is a precious treasure that is worth more than diamonds and gold.
Love should feel warm, safe, like home.
Love should challenge you, bend but not break you, make you grow and learn.
It’s a complicated and wondrous beast that everyone hopes to meet, but not be bitten by ❤️

So whoever or whatever you love, whether that be a partner, family members, friends, colleagues, pets or passions, love with every inch of your being and share that love wherever possible. Magical things could happen ✨

Getting to know you! 💕 (The best part of my job!)

I had a second meeting with the lovely and super chatty Daniiy and Sam yesterday, who celebrate their wedding in May 🌲

We spent a couple of hours over a cuppa discussing their wedding plans, talking through their ceremony, making some decisions and thinking about what we still need to confirm 💻

When you book me as your wedding celebrant, you get a friendly, fun, knowledgeable and supportive new friend. I’m happy to meet up in the pub, in a cafe, on a dog walk, on zoom (if you live far away), or anywhere that suits. We keep in touch regularly (usually by way of a little WhatsApp group just for us). I’m here to write and conduct your completely unique, completely personalised ceremony that reflects you as a couple, filled with love, stories, laughs and meaningful moments ✨

If that sounds like a bit of you, get in touch! I have a few dates left in 2024. Link to my website in bio ⬆️

Meetings! 😃

I spent this afternoon with the super lovely Alex and Jake, who get married at Cockley Wood in July 🌿

Chatting to couples about their wedding plans, ceremony ideas and hearing their story is one of my most favourite parts of the celebrant gig and it’s what makes the service I offer so special 💕

Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was honoured to be John and Kate’s Master of Ceremonies for their evening wedding reception in November 💎

I put together a short but sweet script and introduced their first dance. I went with a perfect blend of their love story woven with silly humour as they are both hilariously funny and loving people 💕

Kate looked incredible wearing the most stunning and most sparkly black wedding dress 🖤

Absolutely gorgeous people, inside and out. Thank you for trusting me to speak at your wedding celebration! 😍

‘We could not have asked for a better person to speak at our wedding. Melody makes you feel so comfortable when she speaks, and she has a wonderful ability to invite everyone into our world through words. She is a fantastic celebrant who offers a unique service that is tailored to who you are as a couple. We couldn’t be happier and feel so lucky to know such a brilliant professional.’ J & K xx ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Feeling trendy?! Book a celebrant! 👌🏼

Celebrant-led weddings and commitment ceremonies are wonderful celebratory occasions, made completely bespoke to each couple.

2024 couples! Happy New Year! 💎

Have you woken up this morning, perhaps a little bleary-eyed and tired after a heavy NYE, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation, maybe some nervousness but with huge smiles of your faces? 😃

I reckon that’s because you can finally say (or shout!) ‘WE GET MARRIED THIS YEAR’! 💕

I’m with you! My impending nuptials take place in less than 4 months 😱

I’m ’walking in the air’ knowing that a celeb has trained with the same academy as me. I knew The Academy of Modern Celebrancy was great but excellent to hear Aled Jones has joined our community and is singing the praises of our profession (pun fully intended!). Welcome to our sparkle Aled 💞💎
