Award-Winning Wedding Celebrant for London & Brighton

CHEERING ON COUPLES SINCE 2013

Hello, I’m Jess!

Jess May Celebrant is in a forest holding a ceremony folder. She is framed by stylised flowers and is holding a flolder and smiling with love. She has pink hair.

Wedding celebrants weave magic from your love stories to create totally unique, personalised, engaging, funny and unforgettable wedding ceremonies that are TOTALLY YOU.

Some of my favourite wedding ceremonies have contained:

Personalised fairy-tales
Hand-fasting
Carving names into an ancient oak tree; instead of signing a register
Your pet pooch as a ring-bearer!

I am someone who will get to know you months in advance, meet you in person and help you curate your vision for your special day. A Registrar can only offer a very limited 20-minute, impersonal legal ceremony whom you’ll only meet you on the day.

If you’re looking something a little bit different, fun & captivating, you might be in the right place!

“Whether it’s a joyful, whimsical gathering or a deeply spiritual and symbolic ritual. Jess believes that every ceremony should be a reflection of the people at its heart.

You want to know that your celebrant has heard you, seen you and truly ‘got’ you. Her work centres on people who value authenticity, emotional honesty and deep connection. She approaches each ceremony with warmth, empathy, and a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person and relationship.

Her role is to cheerleader you and your loves. Her ceremonies are fun, joyful, full of character and real emotion. It’s about capturing who you are and creating a space where your guests can feel that too.”
