Helping you create a personal and memorable service or ceremony
Weddings
If you want to create a personalised wedding or civil partnership ceremony that reflects your unique love story, as your celebrant I can help you design a beautiful event that captures your love and commitment to one another.
Whether you are looking for a traditional or contemporary ceremony, a vow renewal, or a commitment ceremony, I can help you choose rituals and readings, poems, pledges or promises to make your special day meaningful and memorable. From hand-tying to a sand or candle ceremony or a simple exchange of rings, your ceremony should be tailored to you.
After you share your vision for your day with me, we will collaborate to craft a perfect ceremony that incorporates your personal beliefs, customs, and traditions to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
My goal as your celebrant is to ensure that your ceremony flows smoothly, feels authentic, and leaves a lasting impression on both you and your guests. From the location and layout of the ceremony space to the tone of my voice, every moment will be considered and meaningful.
As your celebrant, I'll guide you step-by-step through the planning process, offering expert advice and support along the way. From the initial consultation to the day of your ceremony, I'm here to ensure that everything runs smoothly and according to plan.

When you're ready to start planning the ceremony of your dreams, send me a message to book your free consultation so we can start to create a ceremony that truly honours who you are and celebrates your love in a way that is meaningful and unforgettable.
Funerals
Honouring the life of a loved one is a precious and unique experience. As a funeral celebrant, I always feel honoured to guide families through this emotional journey and create a meaningful ceremony that celebrates your loved one's life.
Whether you want a secular, spiritual or religious service, I will work with you to create a ceremony that honours your loved one's memory. It will be deeply personal, respect their beliefs, personality and values, and it will reveal their life, their achievements and unique contributions, and their legacy. From our conversations, I will craft a eulogy and ceremony that reflects the memories and stories of your family and friends, and together we will choose special touches that express your affection and appreciation.
From a place of compassion, we will create a cherished memory of your loved one for years to come. We will decide the order of the service which I will host and officiate on the day, choose readings, poems, prayers, hymns, songs, or music, and decide who will speak and I will invite them up on the day.
I promise to hold space for you and your family as arrangements for the day are made and to offer comfort, support and guidance where needed.
Perhaps you have specific ideas in mind for your celebration of life service or perhaps you would like my guidance. After you message me with any questions, the date of your funeral or memorial and schedule a free consultation, I will listen to your needs and ideas and then we will create your ceremony.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Cathy
Having a celebrant who truly cares makes all the difference. We chose a celebration of life rather than a funeral to celebrate the passing of my husband Mike and Andrew's empathy and understanding shone through the eulogy. He took the time to listen, not just to the facts, but to the family members’ emotions and memories. His dedication to ensuring everyone’s voice was heard made the service deeply personal and comforting. Many family and friends continue to comment on how wonderful and reassuring Andrew was.
Danielle
When my sister and I were faced with the loss of our mother from cancer, having Andrew to deliver the service was a great comfort. He ensured that every aspect of our mother's life was honoured and celebrated in the service. His heartfelt words and attention to detail provided us with a sense of comfort and closure during this challenging time. We are forever grateful for his kindness and support.
Josh
Andrew created a heartfelt tribute that honoured my Nan's memory. He brought Nan to life, sharing anecdotes that had us nodding and reminiscing, laughing and crying. With his knack for storytelling he wove the stories together with compassion and humour. Each song and passage he chose felt like it was handpicked just for Nan, capturing her spirit and leaving us with a sense of comfort.
