Hi, I'm Lorraine

I live in Liverpool and I am most often asked to conduct ceremonies in the North-West of England and North Wales, but I am more than happy to travel anywhere, within the U.K. or overseas.

I have been conducting ceremonies since 2002.

That doesn’t mean I think that I’ve seen and heard it all – far from it! – but it does mean that I have a great deal of experience and expertise, have built a solid reputation and I am proud to have have won a number of industry awards, after being nominated by people that I had created ceremonies for.

I was trained to the highest standard and have extensive experience in creating and conducting personalised ceremonies for Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Commitments, Handtyings, Renewal and Reaffirmation of Vows, Namings, ‘Welcome to the Family’, Thanksgivings, Funeral/Celebrations of Life, and Memorial events.

What's my ceremony style?

I will start by saying how much I LOVE MY JOB.

I love hearing, writing and telling love and life stories. I am a friendly, smiley, approachable, patient, passionate, compassionate and caring ‘people’ person.

I pride myself on my professionalism, listening and writing skills, attention to detail, punctuality, dependability, and being fully prepared but I am flexible, resourceful and more than capable of thinking on my feet – all with a reassuring demeanour and a good sense of humour (this feels a bit like an online dating profile, rather than a celebrant directory listing!)

I love animals, especially dogs.

Our Sprollie (Springer Spaniel/Border Collie), Pip, came to our wedding and there aren’t many things that make me smile more than a ceremony with a dog (except maybe a ceremony with two dogs?)

But don’t worry, while your canine (or other animal) friends will be made to feel very welcome – they aren’t mandatory!

We are all unique and we all matter.

Liverpool-Celebrant-Lorraine-Hull-Wedding

Weddings

I help couples who care about their ceremony and who don’t want it to be generic and impersonal. I create and conduct perfectly bespoke non-religious Wedding and Civil Partnership ceremonies for couples who definitely don’t want themselves (or their guests) to be bored!

If your ceremony is as important to you as the commitment that you are making to each other, why would you settle for one that is ‘off the shelf’ or ordinary, when you can have one that is exclusive and extraordinary?

I strongly believe that all people should all be treated kindly, fairly and with respect.

I am proud to be recommended by LGBTQ Equality Weddings and delighted to be part of their community of suppliers.

Your ceremony can still follow a traditional format, if that is what you want, but it won’t be using the ‘same-old’ conveyor-belt script used for hundreds of thousands of other couples – and it definitely won’t be boring!

Your ceremony will be tailored for you and filled with unique, meaningful moments that you and your guests will always remember as: the best Wedding or Civil Partnership Ceremony that anyone ever went to – EVER!

Why choose Lorraine for your wedding?

You may well notice that there is a lot of laughter in the photos of my ceremonies, and laughter is often mentioned in the testimonials that couples have written.

Like everything else, laughter isn’t compulsory, but I do seem to attract a lot of fun-loving people who want their personality to be reflected within their ceremony and that often involves humorous anecdotes, readings, or random funny comments from the couple or their guests – there are almost always tears of pure joy too (but there are less photos of those moments)

Naming Ceremonies

I live in Liverpool and I am most often asked to conduct ceremonies in the North-West of England and North Wales, but I am more than happy to travel anywhere, within the U.K. or overseas.

Naming ceremonies can be held just about anywhere: inside or out, traditional (or non-traditional) venue, home or garden (and I have conducted ceremonies in all these types of places).

Whether you know exactly what you want, or you need lots of ideas, inspiration and support, I will be here for you and ensure that you and your guests have the best experience possible and your naming ceremony is perfect for you.

Naming Ceremonies are perfect for anyone, at any age.

They are often used to welcome the arrival of a new baby or child (or more than one) whether by birth, adoption, or the blending of families and are a special way of uniting families and celebrating that unity.

Naming Ceremonies are also ideal for adults who choose to affirm a new name, for a variety of reasons. Maybe it is a change of spelling or perhaps the name that you were given doesn’t properly represent who you are today.

Perhaps a naming ceremony can help you celebrate a new beginning after a divorce or it might be a special way for people with a trans experience to receive name affirmation.

The reasons to hold a Naming Ceremony are endless, varied, and unique to you.

They definitely aren’t just for babies!

Why choose Lorraine for your naming ceremony?

I am accredited by Humanists UK to create and conduct Humanist Ceremonies.

Whether you want it to be simple or elaborate, shared with many friends and family or just you and a select few, I will help you to celebrate your special occasion your way.

I will meet with you to discuss the ceremony fully. If you prefer, or if we aren’t able to meet in person, we can complete the preparation by telephone, email or Skype/FaceTime, etc.

Renewal of Vows

I am accredited by Humanists UK and have extensive experience in creating and conducting personalised non-religious life event celebrations for Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Commitments, Handtyings, Renewal and Reaffirmation of Vows, Namings, ‘Welcome to the Family’, Thanksgivings, Funeral/Celebrations of Life, and Memorial ceremonies.

I live in Liverpool and I am most often asked to conduct ceremonies in the North-West of England and North Wales, but I am more than happy to travel anywhere, within the U.K. or overseas.

Whether you want to celebrate with just the two of you, or with lots of family and friends (or anything in between), I will work with you to make your ceremony unique and reflective of your love, your life, and your personalities.

Some people call these ceremonies ‘Celebration of Vows’ or ‘Reaffirmation of Vows’. We can call it anything you prefer.

​The ceremony can be as traditional, quirky, romantic, simple, complex, humorous, or formal, as you want it to be. ​

It is your special day (again); I will help you to celebrate it your way!

​It can be in any venue (including at home), indoors or outside and at any time.

​We can even do it online with something like ZOOM – get in touch for more details…

Funerals

I have been conducting funeral ceremonies since 2012.

You may like to know that I have been trained to a very high standard, I have continued my professional development since my initial training and I adhere to a strict code of conduct.

Please be assured that I am committed to only ever providing high quality, personal, ceremonies – I do not use generic scripts or templates.

You will receive a draft service which you are encouraged to peruse (and amend, should you wish); nothing will be said by me, during the ceremony, that you have not already approved.

I will work with, and for, you to create a truly personal non-religious funeral or memorial ceremony to celebrate the life that was lived. 

The ceremony will reflect the character of the person who has died and acknowledge and give thanks for the influence and impact on those that knew them. 

If possible, I will meet with you to learn about the person that you are holding the service for and to discuss ceremony ideas and format. 

If you prefer, or if it is more convenient for you, we can complete the preparation by telephone, email or video call. 

Of course, we can include other people in the planning and within the ceremony itself, should you wish.

I will always reply promptly to your enquiry; if there is nothing in your Inbox within 24 hours please check your Spam/Junk as sometimes my emails end up in there…

Prices From

£206 (prevailing Parochial fee)

Why choose Lorraine for your funeral?

I will provide as much support as you require to ensure that ceremony captures the essence of the person who has died and celebrates the life that they lived.  I am most often asked to conduct funeral and memorial ceremonies in Liverpool (Springwood & Anfield), Halton (Widnes), St Helens (including Greenacres) and Sefton (Thornton).

I am accredited by Humanists UK as a Humanist Ceremonies Celebrant.

Lorraine was extremely helpful from start to finish. She offers a complete service from planning the ceremony to tailoring of vows which made everything very personal to us. The ceremony was conducted flawlessly and made for a very enjoyable experience we will never forget. We highly recommend anyone looking for a celebrant for their special day, to contact Lorraine for a full & professional service.

My Daughter’s Perfect Wedding – Performed by Lorraine

Janet Taubman

Wedding | 08/06/2022 | The Mansion House, Calderstones Park, Liverpool

Lorraine, Liverpool Celebrant had been recommended to us, to perform wedding celebration ceremonies and we were so glad we chose her for my daughter and now son in law’s special day! The assurance that she would only be performing their ceremony on that day, so in no rush to get away to the next venue and the personally written script was perfect for them. (The small legal wedding ceremony had been performed a couple of days before at the Register Office, which was brilliant too, it had whetted our appetites for the big one, with 70 guests on a sunny Saturday in the garden at the magnificent Mansion House at Calderstones Park, Liverpool).
The bride and groom had spoken to Lorraine a few months before with their thoughts, but they had left everything until the last minute, so she made an appointment to meet us at the venue the week before the big day. She encouraged them to write their own vows, which made their ceremony very personal. Lorraine also wanted to know their colour scheme, so she could dress accordingly, her attention to detail was wonderful. Lorraine had added her own snippets from their lives, which she had picked up from the various conversations and emails, it was all awesome. We had so many compliments on their fantastic day from our families and guests, they were so impressed, which started with Lorraine’s wonderful, professional ceremony. Everyone could tell how much she loves her job!
I would highly recommend Lorraine, Liverpool Celebrant. She is so professional and goes out of her way to tailor make a special day just how you want it. Alex and John wanted a happy, relaxed and fun ceremony and that is what they got and so much more!
Thank you Lorraine, we have so many happy memories of 06/08/22.

We can’t thank Lorraine enough for the service she provided not only on our big day but also beforehand…

Wedding | 04/09/2022 | Crabwall Manor

We can’t thank Lorraine enough for the service she provided not only on our big day but also beforehand.

With numerous date changes due to the pandemic, Lorraine was always just a message or call away offering support and being extremely accommodating.

We met Lorraine a few months before our big day and we just knew we had made the right decision.

Our ceremony was conducted beautifully, very personalised and funny, just what we wanted!

We received so many fantastic comments from our guests and we can’t recommend you enough Lorraine.

Thank you so much!
