It’s always a privilege to lead wedding celebrations, and they are all unique. Some of the couples at whose weddings I have officiated have shared some feedback that I hope gives a little insight into what I do.

Our Wedding Day Was Spectacular

We honestly don’t know where to begin – our wedding day was nothing short of spectacular and that’s largely down to you both. From the moment we met, it was clear we were in safe hands. We’re not the most traditional of couples … in fact we’re mad as a box of frogs and we wanted our ceremony to be relaxed, fun and a little bit bonkers just like us; and that’s exactly what you delivered.

Choosing you as our celebrant was the best decision we could’ve made and we wouldn’t change it for the world. The ceremony was full of warmth, laughter and most importantly, it reflected who we are as a couple. We couldn’t stop laughing and neither could our friends and family. In fact, everyone is still talking about how brilliant you were and how the whole thing felt like a big, fun party rather than a typical wedding. So many guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to and we agree.

We had no idea that a celebrant-led wedding could be so personal. The way you told our love story and shared the journey in such detail really made the day feel special, you just wouldn’t get that with a registrar. You injected humour in all the right places, and the surprise Haribo ring moment after our ring exchange, absolutely priceless, even the photographers couldn’t stop laughing.

Mr & Mrs S

“We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jeremy lead our vow renewal ceremony. From the first meeting, he and Vanessa made us feel relaxed, understood and completely supported, like we were planning something special with old friends. They were thoughtful, creative and full of ideas that we’d never have come up with ourselves. We weren’t quite sure what we wanted but they gently guided us, asked the right questions and before we knew it, a ceremony took shape that felt so perfectly us.

It was relaxed, personal and there were moments that made us laugh out loud, others that brought a tears. Working with both Jeremy & Vanessa was a real pleasure. They’re a brilliant team, warm, intuitive, professional and just really lovely people to have around. The ceremony felt natural and sincere, with little touches and personal moments that made it perfect. If you’re considering a vow renewal (or any ceremony at all), don’t hesitate. These two are the real deal.”

Mr & Mrs M

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jeremy as our wedding celebrant, and he played an integral role in making our day perfect! We discovered him through a recommendation on Instagram, and from the very start, he and Vanessa exceeded our expectations. As an international couple traveling to the UK for our wedding, we envisioned a quintessentially traditional English ceremony while also incorporating elements of our own cultures. Jeremy and Vanessa helped us bring this vision to life seamlessly, blending these aspects into a ceremony that felt both authentic and personal.

The planning process, which could have been stressful, was made so much easier thanks to their professionalism, kindness, and accessibility. Since we couldn’t visit the venue ourselves, Jeremy and Vanessa went the extra mile by doing it for us, ensuring every detail was in place. When we realized that our steamer had a different voltage specification than the UK’s, Vanessa kindly borrowed her cleaner’s steamer for my wedding dress, which was such a thoughtful and practical gesture. They even dressed to match our wedding colours without us asking, which was such a sweet and personal touch that made us incredibly happy and surprised. Their dedication to creating the most beautiful and

personalized ceremony was clear throughout. Communication was smooth between us, and they were always available to chat, making us feel completely reassured and comfortable. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through our special day


Mr & Mrs C

The process was enjoyable and easy, after completing the questionnaires Vanessa sent over, we met with her and Jeremy for drinks, to discuss our story and what we wanted to achieve for our ceremony, it was such an informal and enjoyable experience. You made us feel like we’d known you for years, there was no pressure at all. The wedding rehearsal with Jeremy was really helpful and enabled us to figure out the choreography and helped set the tone for our big day.

Vanessa, you were a superstar, organising everything so seamlessly – helping advise on our readings and poems and on the day steaming the maid of honour’s dress, so helpful. Jeremy, you are incredible at what you do, your voice, energy and ability to keep things fun yet meaningful, honestly, you could run the country! We’re so grateful you were there to make our day the best it could possibly be. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.


Mr & Mrs S

“I cannot tell you how much we recommend Jeremy and Vanessa. Not just my husband and I, but everyone that attended the wedding- even guests commented how great they are. We travelled from Texas to get married in Cheltenham. Vanessa helped me organize, manage and make sure everything was going smoothly with our venue from 4700 miles away. This was not part of their service, she did not have to help me with this, she wanted to. My mom unfortunately is sick and was not able to come from Texas to England for the wedding, Vanessa suggested we call her on WhatsApp and she was a part of the whole celebration, it was such a special moment.

Jeremy with our ceremony – he wrote such a great script, it was humorous, heartfelt and sincere – delivered perfectly. You can tell how much they both care about people, they care about making your day unique, special and stress free, they were meant for this. I feel like I made some lifelong friends and look forward to seeing them next time we are in Cheltenham. If you are looking for a celebrant or trying to decide who to go with, don’t think twice about them. You won’t regret it. Thank you so much for one of the best nights of our lives. Very thankful for you two!
