Wedding & Funeral Celebrant | Writer

bringing memories alive with lasting power and purpose
Working for families in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire since 2017
My work & training
I trained as a civil celebrant with Civil Ceremonies Ltd, and I’m a member of The Association of Independent Celebrants. I’ve been leading funerals and memorials since 2017 and weddings since 2022, having had over fifteen years' experience as a professional actor and writer.
Whether it's the story of a life or of a couple's love that you're looking to share at a ceremony, when we meet, I'll engage and listen well to be sure I understand and capture what you want to express. I bring calm confidence and expert public speaking to the ceremony you want to hold, responding sensitively to your needs and feelings and to the sense of purpose you want the occasion to have.
I'm passionate about story-telling and the combined experience of all my work has recently brought me to writing life-stories, biographies and memoirs for individuals in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, collaborating with a local designer to create carefully crafted legacy books.
I continue to work professionally as a voiceover artist and narrator of audiobooks from my home studio, where I can also help you make a record of someone's life story in an audio tribute set to photos.

On behalf of James, Kate and myself, we would like to thank you for a very compassionate service given on our behalf. It included amusing and heartfelt words to honour Tom. Everyone commented on how professional it was. It was such a memorable day and great tributes paid to a great Dad and husband. How fortunate we were to have had you take part in the day. Many many thanks again Nick. Regards Julie.

I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a lovely tribute for Ken’s service on Monday and delivering it so beautifully. So many of the guests commented that it was a wonderful reflection and celebration of Ken’s life - it was perfect.

We just wanted to write to say a sincere thank you, for the wonderful service you conducted for Brenda/mum.
You captured her so beautifully, and the tribute you wrote was simply perfect. It struck exactly the right balance between sadness, celebration, humour and hope, allowing us to remember her for the funny, caring and unique person she was. There were smiles, laughter and tears throughout, which is exactly what she would have wanted. So many family members and friends commented afterwards that it was one of the best funeral services they had ever attended. That is a real testament to the time, care and thought you put into telling mum’s story. During such a difficult time, you gave us a service that we will always remember with great affection. Thank you for helping us celebrate Brenda’s life in such a meaningful and memorable way.
Sam and Family, Bordon
