Celebrate your special day your own way

As a professional trained celebrant with the UKSOC, I create wedding ceremonies, celebrations of life, renewal of vows, naming ceremonies, and any other life events that need to be celebrated.

Hi! I'm Jen, and I am a professional independent Celebrant in the South West

I’m often described as vibrant, genuine and compassionate. I adore bright colours, bold prints, big earrings and anything that sparkles! I absolutely love my job and I will quite happily talk all day about how amazing Celebrant ceremonies are!

About Me

Here's what I do...

Wedding Celebrations

I will collaborate closely with you to make sure your wedding ceremony is everything you want. I can help you pick readings, help you write your wedding promises, suggest different elements and ideas and how to ultimately give you the best wedding ceremony ever!

Vow Renewals

I will create a bespoke ceremony focusing on your love and your journey so far as a married couple. You can still exchange rings, sign a certificate, but why not mix parts of your original wedding and include symbolic elements to involve your guests?

I cannot recommend Jen highly enough, she is a very special person. Thank you xx

All of our family and friends absolutely loved Jen and commented on how it was the best and most happy, personal and fun wedding.

I could honestly write an essay on what a gem Jen is and why everyone should hire her as a celebrant and if you do, you’ll come away feeling like you’ve made a friend too.

Naming Ceremonies

A Naming Ceremony is the perfect non-religious way to announce and celebrate the arrival of your baby, welcoming an adopted child, celebrating the joining of families or a new name. I will work with you to get to know you and your story to create a memorable personal ceremony.

Funerals

In times of sadness, it can be hard to find the words you need. As a funeral celebrant, I will create a bespoke ceremony that will reflect and honour the life of the person that has been lost to us.

You're in goods hands

The families and couples I work with are always the centre of my world. I create heartfelt bespoke ceremonies that is something very meaningful for you. I will generate a truly tailored, personal and uplifting ceremony, whilst respecting the feelings and beliefs of you and your family.

  From start to finish, Jen was just incredible. Our ceremony wasn’t a standard script — it was completely ours, full of laughter, love and personal touches that reflected us perfectly as a couple.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Jen arranged Zoom calls where she asked thoughtful questions and really listened. She even set up a private WhatsApp group for just the three of us, so we could share ideas, ask questions anytime, and feel fully supported. She gave us creative tips to make the day extra special — things we’d never have thought of ourselves.

As ours was a four-day intimate celebration, Jen even came out to meet us and our family & friends at the restaurant two days before the wedding, just to introduce herself and put everyone at ease. On the big day she spoke so beautifully, engaging our guests with warmth and humour, and I even got to choose her outfit so everything tied in perfectly.

Above and beyond is simply in her DNA. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jen to anyone looking for a celebrant — she’s professional, personal, and truly unforgettable.

  Jen was an incredible addition to our wedding, all our guests thought she was life long friend, we loved the personal touch Jen added to our wedding, it was so much fun planning our ceremony and adding things like rock, paper scissors and our page boy “hiding” our wedding rings under one of the ceremony chairs.
Jen went above and beyond for our wedding, helping gather guests for photos and fanning my dress for the photos. We absolutely loved having Jen as being part of our special day. We would highly recommend Jen as a celebrant for any occasion!

  Jen was the most incredible celebrant I could have asked for. She went above and beyond for us to ensure we had a special day, in ways I could not have ever expected. When we had a last minute venue change two weeks before the wedding, she helped us search for a new venue for days, even visiting potential wedding venues with us (which was definitely not required as part of her role!). On the day she was flawless, made the ceremony extremely special and unique - I couldn’t have asked for better.

  Where can we even begin?! Jen is an absolutely amazing celebrant, we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. From the very start she completely got us, embraced all of our ridiculous ideas and created the most perfect ceremony. It was everything we wanted, the perfect mix of fun, laughter and love and it felt so us.

Every detail was spot on: the game, the handfasting, the readings… even my partners entrance! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it, with so many saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and that’s all thanks to Jen’s creativity, warmth and personality.

She made the whole experience such a joy and it was the biggest pleasure working with her. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will make your day truly unforgettable, Jen is the one.

  We met with Jen beforehand, and from the start, she was so warm, welcoming, and friendly, it immediately put us at ease. On the day of Mum’s service, she was absolutely incredible. Jen spoke with such genuine emotion and care that it felt deeply personal and heartfelt.

Jen made a very tough day gentle and full of love, guiding us with warmth and respect throughout. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help us say goodbye.

Thank you, Jen, from the bottom of our hearts.

  Where to start, Jen was amazing from start to finish. Meeting at the wedding fair to the wedding day, she gave off amazing energy, bubbly, friendly, kind and overall just a great caring person. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone wanting to get married.
She made the ceremony so fun with so many personal ideas to us and also helped with everything afterwards. We love you Jen and Thankyou for making our day so special

  The one thing I had not anticipated was that I would enjoy my mum's funeral service, but I did. Jen was our celebrant, and she guided and supported me and my family throughout. The service was warm and in keeping with the elements which we had chosen. Jen was thoroughly professional and helped us celebrate mum's life as we start on the next phase of ours.

  Jen. We cannot thank you enough for being there when my brother died and we needed help.
When we met you, we were so impressed by your kindness and understanding that the relief we felt knowing you were there was such a help to us.
Your tribute to my brother was wonderful and absolutely perfect for him.
Thank you for taking so much time and care for our family.
Love Elaine and Chris xx

  We cannot thank this woman enough for being absolutely awesome in the build up and planning of our wedding and on our day. She was a help every step of the way. She made the effort to really get to know us, wrote the most perfect speech and really helped our entire day come together. She is a breath of positivity and calm when you need it most. Honestly having Jen alongside us was one of our best decisions and we will recommend her to everyone. Thank you for all your help. Lis and Jay

  I wholeheartedly recommend Jen as a celebrant for your wedding! From the very beginning, she was friendly, warm, and genuinely invested in our vision for our special day. It felt like we were chatting with a friend about our relationship and wedding plans.

The day before our wedding, Jen met us at the venue to review the schedule and details, and she went above and beyond by helping us with preparations and getting to know our families. This thoughtful touch made a significant impact and added to the joy of the occasion.

On the day of the wedding, Jen truly made our ceremony unforgettable. She beautifully told our love story, striking the perfect balance between humour and heartfelt emotion. We are so grateful to have chosen Jen; she played a pivotal role in making our wedding day extraordinary. If you're looking for a celebrant, look no further—Jen will exceed your expectations!
