I offer a one-to-one coaching service to Celebrants who work with Couples and families.
I believe there are key principles which apply to all forms of ceremonies and my aim is to work with you so that you can discover what works best for you and enables you to provide a first-class service to your clients.

Every one of us has our own style and therefore appeal to a different area of the marketplace, so my support is given on an individual basis.


Coaching v Mentoring.

Whilst coaching and mentoring are both valuable in professional development, they do have different purposes and are approached differently.

Mentoring is a long-term process involving skills development which starts with the Mentor sharing personal experience which can be used by the Mentee to reflect on their own practice.

Coaching is much more focused on shorter term goals and uses the client’s own strengths as a bases for future development.



The process

I offer a short free consultation in which we can discuss your concerns and develop a plan.

Please contact me to arrange a consutlation, discuss your requirements and my fees.

A naming ceremony is a celebration of life, love and belonging. It is about telling your child, in front of the people who care about them most. "You are loved and are part of something special.

If you are ready to plan your child's naming ceremony then contact me today and find out how we can make it special.

Making the most of summer evenings.

What could be more romantic than saying your vows as the sun is slowly setting and as twilight brings a magical feeling to the air.

Your ceremony could involve lighting candles as the light slowly fades around you. The change of light also provides a gorgous backdrop for your photos .

It can be a perfect transition into your evening of celebration too.

Embracing summer into your special day.

Summer is here so why not embrace it as you plan your summer wedding celebration ? You could start by ncorporating lots of flowers into your theme. This year's trend is for bright and blousy flowers such as peonies and cabbage roses .

You could do this in many ways

creating a large floral back drop for your ceremony

table decorations

flowers for the bride and their attendants

Using flower petals for a confetti tunnel as you leave your ceremony

flower crowns

You could also use flowers withing your ceremoy by exchanging a rose as a symbol of love.

Why not weave the idea of sunshine into your vows or readings ?

Looking for more ideas then why not contact me ?

Smaller weddings often come with more flexibity when it comes to venue and style. Whether it is a scenic outdoor location, a colourful garden, or even a historic building with unique charm, intimate weddings give couples the freedom to choose a venue which might not accomodate a large crowd. This opens the door for creativity and non-tradional settings that enhance the overall experience.

In recent years there has been a growing trend to add lots of colour to the flowers used to enhance the Wedding day.

Large floral arrangements which can be repuurposed throughout the day are becoming extremely popular,

I think this will be a strong trend for next year to with colour palettes becoming bright and bold and matching other essentials for the day such as the cake and table accessories.

The beautiful arrangement below was used as a backgroup for the ceremony and then deconstructed into large pieces to form the table decor.

One of the growing trends for this year is to have a Wedding Content Creator to capture every moment of your big day.

Wedding content creators work alongside photographers and videographers and other Wedding professionals.

​They create content for socal media throughout the wedding day, capturing every moment and sharing it with a wider circle of friends and family.

It has been known for some content to go viral !
