Hi, I'm Carolyn (Cas)
I believe that every celebration should be unique and personal to you. I will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your values, beliefs, and love.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, naming ceremony, or celebration of life for beloved humans or pets, I am here to make it truly special, to make sure everything is tailored to your needs and wishes. I would be honoured to create a ceremony that is just right for you, your family and friends.
I am a person who loves life and enjoys making others happy. Music and storytelling are my passion. I use them to create unique events where people can celebrate their bonds and share their joy.
My friends and family tell me that I am also kind and empathetic, ready to listen and understand others. I would like to be with you on your life journey at your special occasion, be it happy, sad or both.
What's my ceremony style?
My role is to celebrate a loved one (human or pet) and narrate their story, honour their life and memory, and help families and friends experience a particular moment of light in their lives. I draw on my life and work experience in my work and approach. I love to have fun too so will bring a relaxed light-hearted and upbeat approach to ceremonies.
My work and personal experience include being a social worker for all ages and abilities, a teacher, trainer, organiser of events and conferences, a manager in the NHS and social care, and a carer and patient. I enjoy music, reading, singing, animals, travelling, writing, photography, learning languages, being in my garden and having fun with my family, pets, and friends in the local community. I enjoy talking to others and getting to know and understand them and their life history.

What do I offer?
Weddings
Hi there! I’m looking for a couple who share my passion for nature, pets, and beauty. A couple who want to celebrate their love with their family, friends, and furry companions. A couple who know how to have fun and laugh, but also appreciate the serious moments.
It’s great how couples are choosing to tie the knot in barns and outdoors. I also adore historic buildings that have a story to tell. But I don’t mind a simple wedding in the garden or in your local community hall. I’m half Italian, so I understand how romantic it would be to have a ceremony in Italy.
My ideal ceremony is one that makes you smile, cry, and feel the love. One that has music and readings that reflect who you are. One that creates memories that last a lifetime for you and your guests.
My wedding celebrant service includes: • All consultations, both in person and online, to get to know you and your story • Regular communication throughout the planning process • Assistance with writing your wedding vows or choosing existing ones that resonate with you • Attendance at a rehearsal before the ceremony to ensure everything runs smoothly • A symbolic element of your choosing, such as a handfasting, a sand ceremony, or a ring warming • A personalised ceremony based on the information that you give me, following your vision and preferences • A certificate of commitment, as a keepsake of your ceremony • A free tree planted in Tiverton Devon in your and your spouse’s names, as a symbol of your growing love • Support with choosing music and readings that suit your theme and style • Support on the day of the ceremony, to make sure everything goes as planned • Any other way I can help!

Thank you Cas 🙏
Cas was our dream celebrant and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She stepped in at the last minute and put together a beautiful, personal and touching ceremony that made us feel so special. Thanks for everything you’ve done.

Carolyn did such a wonderful job
Carolyn offered just the right level of support before the event and did such a lovely job on the day. She’s really approachable and put us all at ease. We had a Handfasting and she helped us choose all the right elements to make it really personal. Thank you Carolyn!
