Civil Celebrant

“We want a ceremony and we want it to be really personal and not like your standard ceremony.

We don’t want ‘stuffy’ and we don’t want ‘formal.

We don’t know where to start, who to talk to or what to do.

We don’t want to do it alone.

We feel a bit overwhelmed.

There is either too much choice or no choice at all.

We wish we had someone who knew all about this stuff and understands who we are and where we’re at.

We don’t want to be forced to compromise or have a stranger conduct our ceremony.

We want our ceremony to be real and tell our stories, not something from a template”

“We chose Jess because we wanted our ceremony to not be a formality but an expression of our love.

She allowed us to be and free ourselves.

Jess gently encouraged us to express our truest feelings through our words and thoughts and crafted them to write our story with such delicate magic.

Jess’s work not only creates beautiful ceremonies but also beautiful friendships.”

“We met over coffee with our Celebrant and she LISTENED.

We told her our story and we felt HEARD, she got to know us really well.

She knew exactly what to do and how and where to start.

We immediately felt calm and our anxiety went away.

She supported us from the beginning.

She was confident and experienced and could tell us that she knew it would all work out perfectly and would be EXACTLY right.

So the ‘overwhelm’ went away. She totally ‘got us’ and became a friend.

We loved our ceremony it was perfect for us and our families & we didn’t compromise once.”
