ABOUT ME
Hello Everyone. I’m Jess & I’m not just a ‘pink-haired lady’. A wedding without a ceremony is just a party and a ‘meh’ ceremony is a wasted opportunity. I offer a ‘yawn free guarantee’ for your wedding ceremony.
Beyond the pink.
Last week a guest from a wedding I did 8 years ago got in touch. She’d not ever forgotten how incredible the ceremony was and had decided to be a Celebrant because it moved her so much. I’m a cheerleader for couples and throuples everywhere who want THAT. IT’s basically my life’s mission to make that happen for you because I know how meaningful your ceremony can be and I how boring they often are.
LOVE: cafes with nerdy bearded Baristas, the Thames. foxes, cooking, laughter, friends, sea swimming, Gen Z.
MUST HAVES: want to say ‘coccaine’ and ‘botox’ for the shock factor, but no…hot water bottle, sunscreen (obsessed), history podcasts, the sea, fine chocolate. my Queer pals. apart from in my meals, animals are not optional. (& the predictable things obvs).
DELIGHTED? The full moon, September light, funny human stories, Christmas trees in windows.
ALLERGIC? DULL people, porridge (disgusting), bro-sphere, Nigel Farage, Michael McIntyre.
DESPISE? Rocket, people not using headphones on the bus, cliches & unnecessary terms like ‘Wild Swimming’.
NECESSARY EVILS: Running, sleep & rest, keeping vaguely up to date with Global Politics.
NEVER DONE: Video games, ukelele playing, Glastonbury.
TERRIFIED? Heights! Climate change.
NOT BOTHERED? Star signs, punctuation. Strictly Come Dancing
GUILTY OF? Laughing at old-fashioned Folk Musicians, scoring people for how much they match their dogs.
TERRIBLE HABITS? Staying up til 3am, trying to get young people to do ‘small talk (not at the same time.)
DESIRES? Fluent French, more French & London weddings, more of a reach for my podcast.
THANKS GO TO: Pilates Lucy who saved my knees, Ely at Crab Salad Hair who saves my appearance.
INSPIRED BY: Esther Perel, Glennon Doyle, Jane Goodall, Jane Fonda, David Attenborough, my Mum, my partner.
Core Values
1 Humour & comedy, if we can’t laugh together it ain’t happening.
2 Curiosity, it basically means that I’m nosey.
3 Emotional Honesty, I can’t stand it went people aren’t truthful.
4 Creativity! the cornerstone of healthy human life.
5 Courtesy, old fashioned I know but it costs nothing.
Mainly though, I love cheering people on and celebrating their success.
