NAOMI & MATT

“When Matt and I talked about how we wanted our wedding we knew we wanted it to be unique and special to us.
We had no idea what to expect when we met Nat but we loved her immediately and knew she was the perfect person to marry us! It felt like we would be having a friend marrying us.
We didn’t really know what we wanted so Natalie helped with lots of suggestions and we loved what we ended up with. The words she spoke and helped us to write were so true to us and our relationship - it was all perfect.
I had so many guests on the day saying they didn’t know a wedding ceremony could be so fun and different and that it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to!”

Ben & Simon

“Honestly, Nat is absolutely amazing at what she does - worth her weight in gold isn't enough of a compliment! She was perfect for our day.
From keeping things fun when the stress started to set in, to keeping us in line when we needed a nudge to get in touch with people, Nat was honestly the most calming and wonderful presence to have around. Always eager to help with next steps and exceptional at catering to our inconvenient work schedules. Her wealth of knowledge of different ways to celebrate our special day and still keep everything fresh, modern and perfectly catered to us was astounding.
Nat is exactly the kind of happy joyful soul everyone should strive to have at the helm of their big day.”

Julia & Steve

“When Julia and I came to planning our wedding we knew we wanted to move away from the traditional ceremonies and look to have something more personal.
We started searching for a celebrant during covid which meant conversations were conducted over Zoom. I would say within five minutes of speaking to Natalie we knew she was the right person for us. Natalie made us laugh and put us at ease straight away. Natalie presented some fantastic ideas for us to consider how our wedding ceremony might look.
Once confirmed that we wanted to go with Natalie we had two years of planning ahead of us. Natalie set up a whatsapp group to run by any suggestions we might have and we also arranged some face to face chats to go through and prepare for the big day. Whilst Julia and I had ideas of what we wanted it was great having Natalie around to guide and present suggestions, and without her I don’t think we would have got the ceremony arrangement as well organised as we did.
Come the day of the wedding, the ceremony was amazing, the personalised approach really made the wedding more meaningful.
A true testament was the amount of great feedback we received from our guests about how they loved the alternative way a wedding can be done. Natalie was great to work with and gave Julia and I a fantastic ceremony which we won't forget.”

SUZY & NICK

“Natalie has been our celebrant for both our son Arthur’s naming ceremony and our wedding. We were so impressed with Natalie and her kind, gentle, mindful and warm approach with Arthur’s ceremony that we didn’t hesitate to ask her to be our celebrant when we got married.
Immediately when we starting working with Natalie to plan our ceremony she knew exactly what we were aiming for. A heartfelt celebration of our love for each other, with an alternative twist and a generous sprinkling of fun and humour. Natalie prepared so well for each of our meetings and had amazing ideas. Suggesting our friends play a role in the ceremony, suggesting beautiful poems and passages, and bringing in alternative ceremonial elements such as hand fasting. Me and Nick my now husband cried at each meeting!
As well as having such creative ideas and being so aligned with what we were looking for, Natalie was always there for us. We felt we could really rely on her. This was so important as getting married is such a huge thing - it can be really stressful at points and Natalie was always there to help guide us through.
Our wedding was the most beautiful day filled with love and laughter and Natalie played a huge part in making it happen.”

Fred & Rhiannon

“Natalie was our celebrant for our wedding in May 2022. When we started planning our wedding we knew we wanted a celebrant as we wanted something more personal than the usual standard civil ceremony wording- Natalie totally blew us (and all of our guests) away with the ceremony.
Although we were planning during lockdowns and some restrictions we managed to meet with Natalie over zoom and in the pub plus she was always really responsive over WhatsApp with any queries and amendments. It couldn’t have been any easier!
The ceremony was just incredible, so much so I’m struggling to put into words what it meant (and still means) to us to have had something so personal kick off our wedding day. All our guests were blown away by it and we had so many comments saying “I’ve never been to a wedding like it” “How does she know you so well” “Not like any other wedding” etc, straight after the service I was talking to my father in law who got choked up even thinking about it … he still does months later! I do wonder if I’ll ever be able to have a conversation with him about it without him crying.
Natalie was a great support to us and our family during the planning and was very generous with her time with my mother in law who was choosing a reading. She was so pleased she was able to deliver it so perfectly for us without wavering even though I was a blubbering mess.
Natalie, you were amazing and I don’t think We’ll ever be able to properly find the words to thank you for giving us a ceremony better than we could have ever dreamt of.”

“Having Natalie as our celebrant was the icing on the cake to a truly amazing day. She tailored every part of our ceremony to us and made sure it was filled with humour, wit, memories and joy. Her suggestions of toasts, taking shots and adding readings made sure our ceremony felt truly personal and the effort and time she put into it really did shine through on the day.
I can’t recommend her highly enough, she really was the highlight of our big day!”
“Recently, I was lucky enough to not only get married to my best friend - but to BE married by a good friend too. Natalie was one of the first people my now wife introduced me to as our relationship was beginning, and to stand alongside her, these years later, as she gave us her blessing on our wedding day, was a genuine privilege and honour.
Natalie’s charm, professionalism, kindness and charisma was apparent to all those present, and she hosted our ceremony with absolute style throughout!”

TILLY & CRAIG

“We can’t find words adequate enough to explain how wonderful our experience with you was. You took the time to get to know us, then worked with us to create a ceremony that was so personal and the perfect balance between love and laughter. Your amazing energy is warm and welcoming, your ideas are so creative and you adapted to everything our covid delayed wedding day threw at you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create the ceremony of our dreams. P.s. The fact you can make a jäger bomb sound so sensational, proves you’re a genius.”

Suzy & Nick

“From the minute we met Natalie we knew she would help us curate a beautiful naming ceremony for our baby son. She has a lovely gentle style, she helped us to share personal insights to build the ceremony, she has some great innovative ideas and she is also a wonderful celebrant.

I was particularly touched by how much care Natalie took in engaging with our sons guide parents as they played a key role in the ceremony and how adept she was at tailoring the ceremony for an online experience. Even though we were not all together during the ceremony, it felt like we were. Everyone was in tears in a good way!

Thanks, Natalie, for everything you did for us.”

“Natalie was recommended to us by another celebrant, and from the moment we met her, our family felt comfortable and at ease. The first planning evening was to chat about our lovely Mum who had died after suffering with Alzheimer’s for many years. We were determined that we didn’t want her service to be sad. We were all in agreement that we wanted to focus on the more happier times of her life, we just weren’t sure how the service would work. That evening, guided by Natalie, we reminisced, we laughed, we spent precious family time together, and all agreed how pleasant the discussions had been. Natalie just ‘got us’.

We had some ideas of particular verses we wanted to be included, and over the next week, Natalie kept in constant touch sending drafts of her thoughts and the final service and eulogy. The celebration of life day was just beautiful; lovely stories of our Mum were shared and Natalie made the service warm, personal and a true celebration of our Mums life. Many of our friends and family commented on how different but lovely the service was- joyful and positive and the feeling of a big birthday celebration or a wedding. This was exactly what we wanted and our Mum would have loved it. Natalie led us and gave us ideas that we wouldn’t have come up with.

As a family, we didn’t feel that we would be able to lead the service and that’s were Natalie came in. She guided us, understanding exactly what we wanted and she ensured the service flowed. She is a lovely lady, really warm and friendly with a calming influence and thanks to her, our celebration of Mum’s life, was exactly that. ”

Elaine and Paul

“Natalie was warm, caring and sensitive. She has the professionalism to guide families through a difficult time while enabling them to share the memorable happy and sometimes sad moments, and familiar characteristics of their loved one. Her communication with us was prompt and supportive and her oratory skills are amazing. Her compassion was omnipresent.”

Ian

“Obviously a difficult time for everyone but Natalie was simply wonderful.
From our first meeting right through both the funeral and the celebration of life for our Mum nothing was too much trouble.

Her genuine warmth towards the family and understanding of all our needs will never be forgotten. So many guests commented on how lovely an occasion it was and much of this was thanks to Natalie.”

“I contacted Natalie regarding my mum’s memorial, it was the best decision my family and I made. Natalie took away all the stress, she asked us questions about our mum, her likes and her dislikes. We gave her some pictures and stories. What Natalie came back with was spot on. The research and effort - it all captured our mum perfectly from the use of the pictures, stories and songs. I highly recommend Natalie.”

Ursula
