Faithfull Celebrant - Independent Celebrant
"Where choice is everything" - providing a unique and personal service
I have been an Independent Celebrant since 2019 and previously spent a year working as a Deputy Registrar of Marriages. I am also an experienced Celebrant for cremations, burials, memorials and interment of ashes and my services are about celebrating the life of your loved one.
A member of the Association of Independent Celebrants and soon to be a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants, I am qualified and experienced in conducting tailor-made and individual services; from celebrating your wedding, civil ceremony or renewal of vows to funeral and memorial services.

We live in a world where choice is everything and I will be there to create a very special service, especially for you. Whatever ceremony you choose, it will be unique, memorable and sensitive to you and your family's needs.
Choosing a Celebrant for your wedding ceremony opens a world of opportunity. Instead of being restricted to a licensed venue or a Registry office wedding, you have the choice of any venue you want.
Similarly, choosing an independent Celebrant means that all our services are based entirely around the wishes and values of your family. I am happy to include religious content and I am experienced in bringing in elements that acknowledge different faith paths.
Finally, being affiliated with a recognised Association run for celebrants by celebrants will offer you reassurance and peace of mind. Members are fully insured, well-supported and have sickness cover through local networks of regional member groups. We also sign up to a Code of Conduct and members have a network of fellow celebrants to share best practice.
Being a Celebrant is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I simply love this job and meeting and looking after all my families and couples.

A Selection of My Testimonials

"We just wanted to send you a message to express our appreciation for our big day. We couldn't have hoped for a warmer, more professional or organised Celebrant. It was perfect, your delivery radiated love and just the right amount of humour to make myself Mick and our guests feel comfortable and immersed in the whole celebratory experience. When I walked down the aisle towards Michael, seeing you alongside my husband dissolved my nerves instantly.
Thankyou for spending the time to get to know who we really are and helping us to plan the perfect service. We felt a lot of love in the Tipi and it really led us into the perfect day!!
Lots of magical memories ..."

"My now husband had lost his dad and Una was the lovely celebrant who took the service.
Fast forward a year and we got engaged and found a venue. To our surprise, Una was the recommended, and only, celebrant whose details the venue provided us with. After a conversation, my now husband decided that it was meant to be to have Una preside over our day, as if in some way, his dad would be present. It really was the best decision.Una was professional whilst always being approachable and courteous to our wants and wishes. Una was able to make our day beyond special. Her attention to detail and listening abilities, to her suggestions, one of which [was] the tie banding, which we used, our guests fed back to us how much they loved and had never seen before.
We would and have highly recommended Una to everyone." – Caroline and Kev – 16.9.2023

"Thank you for such a beautiful service for mum. From speaking to others afterwards, it seems that everyone took a different bit of your service to heart and made it relevant and special for them. That has made me realise that although it is a death that brings people together for a funeral, the service isn’t just about the person not there but about those who are. Thank you for making it so special." – July 2023

"My Mum and I wanted to email to say thank you for the lovely service yesterday. So many people have been in touch who watched the webcast, and everyone who was there made a point of saying, what a good send off it was. We really appreciated your dedication to providing a fitting tribute to my dad. You took such care to really try to get to know the kind of person he was when you came to see us (and on a Saturday, too!) and distilled it into a great eulogy. Everything was seamless and we felt so well looked after and in safe hands. Lots of people commented on how much they admired your delivery and manner, with a lovely balance between the funny stories about my dad and the very sombre occasion. We really appreciate your thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Lots of people said xxx couldn't have had a better send off, and we agree! As my cousin said, "He'd have loved it. Shame he had to miss it." We really feel it was what my dad wanted, and we're grateful for all your efforts to make that happen. You even secured good weather! Many thanks again for all your hard work and kindness. It is very, very much appreciated at this tough time. You've made a difficult process as easy as I think it could be." – April 2023
