Celebrant Services Wednesbury

Hello… and welcome to my website.

I truly enjoy my work, and it shows in the testimonials I’ve received working as a celebrant for the last 15 years. For me it’s a calling and not just a job.

As a celebrant I create and lead non-religious – ’Humanist’ Weddings, Partnerships, Blessings and Renewal of Vows and Handfastings in many of the Pagan religions.

Naming Ceremonies are a joy, and we hold them to name a child or adult.

I’m a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants carrying the required insurance.

My celebrant services are always delivered professionally with compassion, sensitivity, and respect.

Funeral Celebrant Services Wednesbury

I can offer you both a non-religious – ‘Humanist’ and religious funeral service whatever your religion is. I offer you choice…

I’ll create a very special service for ones you’ve lost. Working with you, that acknowledges your loss, remembers or celebrates the life of your loved one.

Wedding Celebrant Services Wednesbury

“Marriage is a lifelong commitment to continue to build a loving partnership, to keep the freshness, the fun and excitement alive alongside the tasks that every-day living, and family life can bring. It’s expressing your feelings openly and honestly; and holding an acceptance and respect of each other through whatever may come…”

Leading weddings and civil partnerships is a joy and often filled with smiles, laughter and yes – sometimes tears too. But they are always uplifting.

Working together we’ll create your own personal wedding, handfasting or civil partnership, one that is unique and includes things that are important to you both.

I’ve worked with many couples from many different religions and are happy to incorporate your beliefs.

Handfasting Celebrant Wednesbury

Handfastings are often filled with smiles, laughter and yes – sometimes tears too. But they are always uplifting. We work together creating a ceremony that meets your expectations, hopes, and dreams and it reflects your spiritual path…

Great Spirit Prayer

O Great Spirit whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught us.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes
so when life fades as the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.

Naming Ceremonies Celebrant Wednesbury

service-image-naming-ceremonies

Every Naming ceremony is unique, and I offer the flexibility to meet individual needs and wishes of the family and it can be seen as an alternative to a traditional christening.

We welcome the child (or adult) into the family and circle of friends and recognise and celebrate their arrival. Together we will create a very beautiful, special ceremony for your loved one using either a selection of your own words, poems, and readings or from other sources.

Reading – Extract from the Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams

I am your parent

You are my child…

I am your quiet place

You are my wild…

I am your calm face

You are my giggle…

I am your wait

You are my wiggle…

I am your dinner

You are my chocolate cake…

I am your bedtime

You are my wide awake…

I am your lullaby

You are my peek-a-boo…

I am your goodnight kiss

You are my ‘I love you’…
