Kay was a fantastic celebrant for our wedding, the service she performed was exactly as we wanted. We requested something not to formal and that was in keeping with us and she delivered that, she also made recommendations and suggestions that we would not have thought of including getting our children involved and doing a reading. As well as the ceremony Kay was really lovely and helpful spending lots of time with us to make sure things were right, she was approachable and supportive and I would fully recommend her services.

Kay was recommended to us by a friend when we were looking for someone to lead my Dad's funeral in January. Me and my sisters were pulling things together to a short deadline in what was quite an intense time for us and Kay was flexible and showed great warmth and sensitivity - I found her very reassuring to work with. Thanks Kay xx

Kay is a wonderful woman who gave us the most Beautiful personal ceremony. The effort, the words, everything was just 10/10, she made our story sound like a dream! If you are thinking of booking Kay do not hesitate! More...

Kay was excellent and what was a sad occasion.
She conducted the whole occasion with compassion for the audience.
She had taken the time to get to know Auntie Bridget and portrayed her life with empathy and sympathy from the stories she told.
Thank you for making the funeral more personable and considerate.

Kay is an incredible Celebrant.
Kay met with us as a family and spoke with us about Mum enabling us to remember all the happy times we spent together as well as recognising the part of Mum we had lost due to her dementia.
We laughed at some of Mums antics and shared the love that she had for everyone. Kay then wrote an amazing Eulogy which captured mum perfectly. Together with Lisa from Hengrove Coop funeral care she guided us through the ceremony allowing us to make it as personal for mum as we could. Kay sent us many poems which we perused to choose ones which perfectly described Mum and our memories of her. Family who were unable to travel to the funeral felt included as Kay addressed them during the service which was streamed to them.
I cannot recommend Kay highly enough. She was amazing, supported us and hugged us when we needed it. Her care and compassion together with her understanding and sense of humour is second to none.
Thank you Kay for making a sad day bearable and allowing us to express the love and fun my Mum enjoyed in such a caring way. She had a life well lived and you conveyed that beautifully. Ruth Xx

We couldn't recommend Kay more highly to those looking for a celebrant. Kay's ceremony on our wedding day was the perfect mixture of warmth, love, humour, charm and personalisation. What really made Kay the right choice for us was how much she connected with us, listened to our story and made the ceremony unique to us. It went down very well with our guests, who felt both moved and full of joy. Thank you Kay for being such a big part of our special day. Inka & Oscar More...

Lovely Kay conducted an uplifting and beautifully paced ceremony for my dear Mum's funeral last Friday. She had a light touch that set a relaxed and intimate tone, one that had everyone smiling and reflecting on Mum's life in an atmosphere of celebration. Shirley would have loved it! If anyone needs a celebrant I would highly recommend Kay. More...

Kay recently oversaw the celebration of the life of my sister. On what was an immensely sad day for everyone, Kay was central in allowing us to mark the occasion with joyfulness and humour. For this, our family are eternally grateful. For anyone going through the heartbreak of losing a family member or close friend, I would highly recommend Kay for her humour, her grace, but mostly her professionalism, during what can be a quite daunting or overwhelming time. Thank you, Michael Molloy More...

What do you love most about your job?
Helping couples to create the ceremony that is just right for them - telling their story and weaving it into a beautifully memorable part of their day that is about love, commitment and people.
Informal, intimate occasions in informal, intimate locations are fabulous, but I also relish and love the fun filled, festival type of ceremony and the more traditional, formal ones.....whatever and however you want it to be. This ceremony is about your love and relationship - it's all about you! ,
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working in the NHS for forty plus years, the idea of becoming a celebrant was suggested by a few friends . Public speaking was part of my role and I thought I would carry that (and other skills acquired through nursing) forward - and here we are! Meeting couples and helping them tell their story, creating a ceremony and then delivering it is an honour - (cheesy? maybe - but true!)
Why should our clients choose you?
Previous longstanding nursing experience has given me kindness, empathy, understanding and a real sense of fun, so I can tailor any ceremony to fit your needs.
Enabling two people to declare their love is a real honour, and I'll be privileged to be a part of your journey. Your ceremony, whether an intimate affair or a bigger celebration, will encapsulate your one-of-a-kind story. Together, we can create vows and ceremony elements that are all about you, and we can discuss any specific customs or traditions.
As your chosen celebrant my approach is to incorporate your wishes and ensure you and your guests have a wonderful day! Inside or outside, formal or informal, fun or more traditional, anything is possible.
Writing vows that express your emotions may be overwhelming, but I'm here to offer guidance and support should you need it. Your ceremony should be friendly, warm and inclusive to ensure a memorable occasion. Everyone loves a good story so let's tell your story together.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
The personal, face to face approach is usually a much preferred way to establish a real connection, but if the only option is via a phone call or on line meeting , then we will certainly try and make that work. The ceremony will be in person though!.
