Welcome

We are independent celebrants based in the east of England, writing and performing celebrations of life. Whilst living and working in this wonderful region we venture far and wide working with extraordinary people to plan, create and deliver truly memorable and unique ceremonies for extra ordinary lives.

If you are looking for someone to work with you to craft and then deliver the perfect ceremony for a naming, a wedding, an end of life celebration or a funeral or if you are wanting something a little different for another occasion then get in touch. We would be delighted to talk through your thoughts and wishes with you.

What Our Clients Say

Lovely newlyweds H & S from Norfolk

Sam listened to all of our ideas and weaved them seamlessly into the script, but also made suggestions based on her own experience.
Having spoken to other celebrants who were a bit more rigid in their outlook, it was refreshing to speak to a celebrant who accommodated and encouraged our suggestions, particularly when we asked to have a humorous poem as part of our ceremony.
Sam was professional, flexible, friendly, and made us feel relaxed from beginning to end. Would highly recommend.

CS from York

I’ve worked closely with Gwyneth for several years and feel that she is a people person who is approachable, supportive and with a positive ‘can do’ attitude. I have experienced some very tough times and feel she listened and helped me. I think Gwyneth fits the role of celebrant well – and can be humorous to lift a moment too.

FS from Newcastle

I have found Gwyn to be extremely approachable, compassionate and caring. Gwyn’s always trying to work through and round a problem and can come up with some great ideas which will be delivered – shell acknowledge and credit everyone who helped. Gwyn’s got great skills to be a celebrant and is a safe pair of hands to make the event memorable.

TD OBE

I have seen the work of Gwyn and Sam over the last 15 years in cancer and end of life care as dedicated, compassionate professionals, so I am genuinely delighted they are using their talents within this service. They are naturally gifted in conducting ceremonies with their kind, gently uplifting personalities.  In addition I am personally thankful they saw me through the bereavement of both my parents last year with grace and encouragement, allowing me to feel a sense of peace.
