Specialisms
I adore holding ceremony outdoors where possible. Elopements are exciting and intimitate. The icing on the cake is a venue with a view of the sea, a mountain, the valley or beautiful gardens. I love nature, I love romance, and I really love cake.

Hi, I'm Amanda
Your Loving Life Celebrant.
How lucky am I to have the honour of creating extraordinary ceremonies for you and your loved ones? Because there is nothing ordinary about you and your story.
I trained professionally with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy which gifts me the opportunity to travel around Spain (& beyond) as a nomadic independent modern celebrant officiating beautiful and bespoke heart-led ceremonies.
What are the qualities that you are looking for in choosing the best officiant for your special occasion?
If joy & passion, warmth, fun & smiley… are on your list…
I would love to be Your Loving Life Celebrant!

What's my ceremony style?
Radically and respectfully disrupting run-of-the-mill and boring! Let’s think outside the box, or how about we lose the box completely and start with a blank page to create a magical memory for you and your guests.
I am an advocate for unveiling your uniqueness and I am ready to listen deeply to design a mesmerising experience with you., in service, to bounce your ideas and dreams and bring them alive for your big day.
Celebrating unity, diversity, and freedom.
Embracing love and the cycle of life ~ in all of its senses.
I will hold space, and I have got your back with all the shenanigans of the ceremony ♥

Highlight
One of my favourite celebrant moments...
It was at my very first wedding after the father of the bride had proudly walked his daughter down the aisle.
He was passing her hand over to the groom in the ceremony space when the eyes of the two men met… it was a moment, an intimate moment, where time appeared to stand still in a comfortable silence.
One of those felt experiences that moves you, beyond time, space, and matter. I was filled with awe and reverence.
“Look after her”, whispered the father, there was no hint of a threat in his whisper, more the vibe of “She is very special to me.”
The two men smiled at each other, “I promise.” replied the groom and then they embraced, and there, I felt it, that lump in my throat…the presence of love, the protective love of those we hold close in our hearts…it was gorgeous and I will never forget it.
Why choose Amanda?
My promise and commitment is to put my heart & soul into your ceremony…
❝ Success arises
from innocence or
from a sort of knowing.
It arises from innocence
when an individual
is so devoted to her craft
that she gives herself to it,
day and night.
Not because she wants
to make herself a success.
But because the craft
is quite literally a part of her.
She simply cannot imagine
doing anything else with her life.
She feels that she was born to do it.
She feels that this is
what she was made for.
And because of this intimacy
with her craft
and the innocence with
which she approaches it,
her skill level soars.
And success comes
running to her. ❞

Why choose Amanda for your wedding?
I commit to deeply listen to you both.
I vow to be the best celebrant that I can be.
I promise to share with you, everything that I have to offer from the world of weddings, celebrancy, and life.
You can trust me to guide you to write amazing personal vows and promises, create a wonderful script, and help you to choose your music, rituals, poems, blessings and all that truly expresses your authentic selves. And we can keep any of the traditional aspects of a ceremony that you love.

Naming Ceremonies
Babies and little people are shining examples of unconditional love. Pure potential in action. They are truly hypnotising and mesmerising.
Naming ceremonies are offered to welcome newborns and toddlers and also to families celebrating the adoption of a child or young person of any age, and it is a perfect celebration for the welcoming of step-children into a relationship or the blending of two families with children coming together to live in unity.
So what is a Baby Naming Ceremony or a Baby Blessing?
It is a beautiful ‘welcome to the world’ experience, where we, (you and me), design a bespoke ceremony with your beliefs and wishes at the core to formally welcome, bless and bestow the name to your little one.
Each and every ceremony is unique, with elements such as The Parents’ Promises, The Guide Parents’ Commitments, The Grandparents’ Pledges, A Symbolic Ritual, Stories, Poems, and Music,… we will start with a clean slate and create something wonderful that truly represents your gorgeous family.
Have you pondered about any of the symbolic rituals that could be fitting for your Naming Ceremony? We can create one that is unique to represent you or your family. Sand, pebble, and water ceremonies are very popular, but there are so many to explore and I look forward to a connection and discovery call to hear and share more.

Why choose Amanda for your naming ceremony?
A Naming celebration is a joyful occasion, bringing your loved ones into a sacred, beautiful space that we will create to honour the gift of life, with love and gratitude as the baseline.
Renaming ceremonies are also designed for adults who choose to take on a new name, this acknowledges a journey of discovery and symbolises a new beginning, including a celebration after a divorce.
Trans naming ceremonies can offer a person a life moment, for reflection of their life so far and who they have become. Celebrating freedom and peace of mind…
I can offer my smiley and happy disposition to sprinkle joy and magic as we create and perform a colourful ceremony to remember forever. We live in a world of infinite possibility, let’s smash it out of the ballpark!

The Sun, the Moons and the Magic of Amanda
From the moment Amanda stepped into our lives, we knew she was someone extraordinary. We believe the universe handpicked her just for us.
Amanda’s warmth, energy and her enormous heart wrapped around us like the most comforting embrace. She didn’t just officiate our wedding, she became a part of our story, pouring her soul into every detail, every word, every moment.
Amanda gave us more than we could have ever imagined. She spent countless hours guiding us, encouraging us and believing in us. She took the time to truly know us, to understand what made our love unique and to create a ceremony that was crafted from our hearts. No request was too big, no detail too small, she made everything feel effortless, yet it was so clear how much love and dedication she invested into every second.
One of the most beautiful and unexpected gifts Amanda gave us was the chance to see our love in an even more unique way. She guided us through conversations that made us reflect deeply on our journey together, reminding us just how strong our bond truly is. In helping us craft our vows and shape our ceremony, she led us to moments of realisation that left us in awe of our own love story…..And in tears of the happiest kind!
And then came our wedding day- our magical, breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime day, set in the stunning Jardí Botànic Marimurtra in Blanes, Girona. With the Spanish sun above us and the beauty of nature surrounding us, Amanda brought everything to life. She wasn’t just our celebrant, she was the heartbeat of our ceremony, filling it with joy, warmth and an energy that lit up the entire space. So many of our guests spoke about how they felt it too, her incredible radiance and presence that made our love shine even brighter. It felt like we were being married by someone who had known and loved us for a lifetime.
Amanda, it was an honour to have you as our celebrant. We will never, ever be able to find the words to truly express what you have given us. You have left an imprint on our hearts that will last forever and for that, we are not just truly grateful, we are forever blessed.
If you are lucky enough to have Amanda as your celebrant, know that you are in the hands of someone who doesn’t just create weddings – she creates magic.

Unforgettable and Heartfelt
If you’re searching for a celebrant who will make your wedding day truly unforgettable, Amanda is the one! We opted for a fully bespoke wedding ceremony, and wow—she absolutely nailed it. From the very beginning, Amanda was organized, approachable, and incredibly helpful. She has this incredible talent for uncovering all the little details about your relationship and weaving them into a heartfelt, beautiful ceremony that perfectly reflects your love story. What she created for our wedding was simply amazing, and we loved every bit of it!
Amanda isn’t just gifted at writing and presenting; she also brings so much warmth and kindness to her work. Her voice is absolutely captivating and added that extra special touch to our ceremony. On the big day, Amanda went above and beyond—she wasn’t just our celebrant but someone who truly cared. She took the time to connect with our families and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. Her attention to detail, from our vows to the ceremony script and readings, was impeccable, and her professionalism was second to none.
We honestly couldn’t have been more impressed. Amanda is amazing, and we can’t recommend her enough—she made our day unforgettable in every way!
