We booked Sarah-Jane for our wedding in June 2021 and it’s the best decision we made. We had previously never considered a wedding celebrant but the pandemic led us to think outside the box and that’s what thankfully brought us together with Sarah-Jane.
We ended up doing two ceremonies. A short traditional legal service in a church, followed by a much more personal service, outside at our beautiful venue, delivered by Sarah-Jane. We were a little apprehensive about how it would all work, but once we met Sarah-Jane we knew instantly she was the perfect person to deliver our ceremony. She is so lovely; it’s very easy to feel like you have known her a life time.
We had multiple meetings in the build-up to our wedding day, so that we could get to know each other and share our story. Sarah-Jane was so open and accommodating to all of our ideas, whilst also providing us with plenty of really helpful advice along the way as well. She also did a brilliant job at finding out all the intricate and quirky details of our relationship during those meetings.
Ultimately, that’s what made the ceremony Sarah-Jane wrote and delivered for us so special. It was personal, romantic, emotional and funny in all the right places. From start to finish Sarah-Jane made it so easy for us and we cannot recommend her enough. It’s easy to have a fixed vision of your wedding (for us it was getting married in a church) but in retrospect the personalised ceremony was what made our day so special, filled with fond memories that we’ll cherish forever. Sarah-Jane delivered above and beyond.
She is simply sensational and you will not be disappointed!

I asked Sarah-Jane to write and lead the cremation ceremony when my Dad, Larry, passed away. I was so pleased I did.
We met a couple of times before, and discussed his life. This, in itself was a pleasure and we chatted about lots of different ways we could remember him during the ceremony. Dad was a simple man and didn't want a lot of fuss. Sarah-Jane's skill was to identify the fascinating aspects of his 97 years and weave them into a beautifully written service together with several pieces of music which had meant a lot to him.
Sarah-Jane was warm, professional and spoke clearly and with feeling. She chatted to the other speakers before the ceremony and put them at ease too. At a gathering for Dad after, several people commented how they'd never experienced the use of a celebrant at a funeral perviously, but how personal it was and how they found out so much about Dad's life. They said it was as if she'd known him for years.
Sarah-Jane made the whole simple and alleviated the pressure on us as a family, at a time when there is a lot to deal with. I would recommend her without hesitation.
