Welcome
Let's Celebrate!
Every ceremony starts with a great love story.
It's Your Celebration!
Celebrating life's greatest moments with our closest friends & family is always special. But we don't all necessarily want to celebrate in the same way.
Well you don`t have to, you CAN do it your way!
Hello, I'm Amanda, a Lancashire based independent celebrant with a passion for creating unique, fun and personal ceremonies.
Tell me your stories of love & life, your dreams & ideas then together we will create YOUR perfect ceremony. Be prepared for plenty of fun & laughter from our initial meeting, through the writing process & eventual celebration.
❤️
Wedding, vow renewal, naming or funeral, large gathering or small & intimate. Whatever the occasion, it will be a ceremony created with LOVE & written just for you.
I love to design relaxed, fun & informal ceremonies with a romantic but modern feel. It really is my dream job & since training in 2015 I have met some wonderful people, writing & officiating ceremonies in some fabulous locations around the country.
I especially love the freedom of open air venues & the romantic atmosphere of a candle lit barn
Originally from Portsmouth, I have lived in Lancashire for over thirty years & cover the Ribble Valley & the North West, home to some of the UK`s best wedding venues.
I have always loved writing & caught the bug after winning a competition when I was nine. As an adult I joined an amateur dramatic group & brought stories to life on the stage.
Now the stories I love to write & tell are YOURS.
I love to hear how you met, your first date? Was it a romantic proposal or was it a disaster! What sets your heart racing & what gets your blood boiling! Why you chose that name for your baby & what are your happiest memories of a loved one? The answers are all part of your story & carefully chosen words should describe your love, not the exact same words spoken at thousands of ceremonies.
Why Choose a Celebrant?
A celebrant led ceremony gives you the CHOICE to celebrate wherever, whenever & however you wish!
I will work with you to ensure your ceremony remains personal & true to you, your style & your personalities. You can be confident that come the big day that ceremony will be led by someone who has become a friend, not a stranger you met on the day.
There are no restrictions on content or timing, I won`t vet your music or censor your readings! There will be no copied scripts or multiple choice vows.
As an independent celebrant I am not tied by any faith or belief system & I'm happy to include any spiritual or symbolic elements. It's not about me. If its important to you then it`s important to me.
I only ever book one ceremony per day so I won't be delayed at another venue or be rushing off to another wedding! The date is exclusively yours.
The most exciting part is that by separating the legal registration from the celebration you can hold your ceremony almost anywhere! The venue does not have to be licensed or the ceremony performed under a solid roof as with a registrar, so think out of the box!
Once booked I'm there for you right up to the day of the ceremony, you can amend the script until you are 100% happy.
I always arrive at least an hour before to check everything is OK & to greet your guests.
So, romantic, humorous, traditional or modern, laid back & relaxed, fun & energetic or a bit of everything the CHOICE is yours.
❤️
If this sounds like your kind of celebration then I'd love to hear from you.
Please get in touch & let's create something amazing.
