Renewal Of Vows

Renewal of Vows

My ideal couple are in love and want to remember and celebrate their commitment to each other.
My favourite ceremony types are Sand ceremonies, Rose ceremonies and Unity Candles and “passing the heartbeat” where families can celebrate together and make new promises that build on the ones they have already made.
I love having a mixture of generations involved in the ceremonies.
I also enjoy quiet ceremonies where only the couple and close family/ friends are present – perhaps on a beach or in a garden.

Often couples choose to renew their wedding vows as they have entered a new phase in their married lives and want to reaffirm their love for one another. Sometimes a milestone anniversary or a Special Birthday spurs on a couple’s desire to publicly commit to each other using new words to celebrate the commitment and love they have treasured together for years. You may have had the wedding you wanted when you were young, but have dreamed of doing it differently now… A renewal of vows ceremony provides this opportunity to have exactly what you want in the way you want it. It could be at the beginning of a family meal in the venue of your choice. It could be in your own home, or at a favourite go to location. Whatever the reason you may have to renew your vows, I will work with you to write a beautiful, and unique ceremony.

Funeral | 04/15/2023 | My own home

I made contact with Jill as I wanted to organise my funeral. I needed to know that everything was in place before going in to hospital for major surgery, just in case, and Jill came highly recommended from a friend who had used her as a celebrant for a family funeral.

Jill was calm, attentive, she listened to my requirements and was very happy to help. We discussed many options and I went away to think about things.

I decided to work with Jill to write my service and to have things organised so that when the time came my Funeral arrangements have been made and it’s one less thing for my family to worry about. Jill was amazing. My ceremony is on file and is able to be updated if I live for a long time and my family want to alter some of the music and readings to more modern ones. It has given me complete peace of mind. Thankfully my operation was a success and I’m still here to tell the tale.

I paid in advance to write my ceremony in the way I wanted it, and know that when the time comes Jill will deliver my service, for an extra fee that has already been discussed. My family are so please that I have arranged this all with Jill, they know that they came make changes if they want to, but my life story is there.

When your family needs a celebrant I can’t recommend Jill highly enough.

Thank you Jill, you are a special lady!!!!

Funeral | 09/30/2024 | Hartlepool Crematorium

Thank you for making a sad day more bearable. The stories you told of Margaret reminded me of when we were young. The music was great; we loved to go dancing.
There was a lot of time to think of Margaret with love and fondness.
Thank you again, funerals don’t have to always be sad, there were happy memories of Margaret that made us smile. I will remember her.
