Frequently asked questions
As an independent celebrant I create highly personalised ceremonies which reflect the person/couple I’m working with.
Celebrants are able to design ceremonies which incorporate spiritual, secular, cultural or blended beliefs. We’re also able to work just about anyway- you just need the owners permission!
Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond! I’m happy to travel, and if you’re having a destination wedding, great, count me in!
If I’m heading out of Norfolk, there will be a travel charge/price of a train ticket/accomodation fee- but we can chat about that when we meet.
No, currently celebrant led weddings are not legal within England and Wales (hopefully that’s changing soon!) To be legally married you will need to book in with your local register office and sign all of the paperwork.
You can get a simple ceremony called a 2 plus 2 and it usually costs around £60. Then you’re all set for your big day, and able to fully personalise your ceremony with me!
Weddings, 6-18 months
Funerals, as soon as you need support, I will prioritise urgent availability.
Naming Ceremonies, 4-12 weeks is typical but shorter notice is often possible.
Absolutely! My role is to help you shape and craft a ceremony which truly reflects you. Everything from tone, music, readings, rituals, symbolism, structure and wording.
Yes! I will be guiding you through writing your vows, tributes, readings and promises and supporting family members who want to speak too.
A celebration of life usually happens after a funeral, in a place meanginful to the person who has died. There is flexibility over theme, content and is usually an uplifting occasion.
Funerals will take place in traditional settings such as a burial ground or crematorium, and there is a loose structure which is followed but can be amended. Usually this is a more formal proceeding where a committal will take place.
Funerals can include elements which are non traditional, chat to your funeral director, funeral setting and celebrant.
Yes, if your child has died, first of all I’m so sorry for your loss. No parent should have to arrange a funeral for their child.
Any child under the age of 18, I will provide my services for free. The Children’s Funeral Fund is a Government backed scheme which will cover some of the costs for the funeral.
Speak with your Funeral Director who will be able to provide more information or take a look at this link:

Yes, I’ll be working with your funeral director to make sure the day flows smoothly, including timings, music, logistics, and ceremony order.
If you need support writing a eulogy/tribute, then absolutely, and if on the day you’re unable to speak, I will deliver the eulogy/tribute on your behalf.
No, however they are symbolic and celebratory!
