Hi, I'm Nicola and Denise

The Guild of Cornish Celebrants is a partnership between Nicola and Denise. We have been celebrating with our couples since 2014, and we love helping couples celebrate their love in the way they want. We are a partnership which enables us to offer more couples a quality ceremony with the reassurance that there is backup should it be needed! We have also taken the decision to affiliate other hand picked and quality assured celebrants to enable more couples to enjoy a celebrant led ceremony under the banner of the Cornish Celebrants. We are thrilled that our excellence and expertise has been recognised by the prestigious Wedding Industry Awards, winning the South West Celebrants of the year award for 2018 & 2019, we are also members of the respected National Association of Wedding Professionals

What's my ceremony style?

Your place as a couple is to take centre stage – and this can be daunting! We are there as a friendly face, a professional, to offer a welcoming smile and to gently guide you through the ceremony. With our experience we add meaning, gravitas when needed, and lots of fun and laughter and to ensure that the ceremony takes its place as the heart of your day. We are happy to work with musicians, faith leaders, or anyone else chosen to take part in your ceremony – we love a doggy ring bearer! We have worked hard to ensure that rituals, such as hand tying, can take their place seamlessly with the ceremony. Outdoors ceremonies are a specialty – beaches, headlands and gardens are especially popular, and we are equally adept in hotels, stately homes or rustic barns, the choice is yours. With us leading you through to that heart stopping moment of saying your vows to each other, you are in safe hands.

We are passionate about what we do – we set up as independent celebrants after working as Registrars having conducted over two thousand legal ceremonies. We love being able to work with our couples to inspire them and enable the vision they have of their ceremony come to life. We can add in any (or none!) of the elements of a traditional wedding. We love to create a ceremony around “your story” and your life together, celebrating the landmarks and your successes. We enjoy including a ritual such as handfasting, tying the knot, ring blessing, unity candles or sand ceremonies, we can also suggest choices of readings and music to create a ceremony to remember. Friendly, professional and reassuring – its not about us, its about you, your love for each other, and looking forward to more years together. Truly your ceremony for your day.

Funerals

The Guild of Cornish Celebrants is a partnership between Nicola and Denise. We set our business up in 2014 after a major re-organisation of the Registration Service in Cornwall. Whilst very experienced at leading ceremonies we both recognised that we needed to enhance our skills in order to lead funerals and we enrolled in, and passed NVQ level 3 in Funeral Celebrancy with Civil Ceremonies Ltd in 2015. Since that time we have led funerals at Crematoria, Natural Burial Sites, scattering of ashes and memorials ceremonies, as well as more bespoke ceremonies which enabled families and friends to commemorate and celebrate the life of a loved one.

As professional civil funeral celebrants we will provide the help and support to create the most appropriate and meaningful ceremony for this final act of love and respect. The funeral service can include speeches, poems or songs (including spiritual or religious readings or hymns) tailored to the wishes, beliefs and values of the deceased and the family. The service can take place at a crematorium, burial site or other place of significance to the deceased and family. We offer a choice of services from a full tribute and eulogy to a simpler tribute or words at the scattering of your loved one’s ashes. Our aim is to provide the opportunity for the family and friends to say goodbye in the most meaningful way possible, this can include a memorial service at a later date.
We also offer a pre-planning service for you to contribute to your own tribute.

Prices From

From £225.00

Why choose Nicola and Denise for your funeral?

Professional and friendly our focus is on you and what you want from the funeral. We will meet with you in person to gather information and ideas, contact other family members or friends for further contributions at your direction and then write and share the funeral service with you to check. We will arrive at least half an hour before the service is due to begin to check everything is in place, and to be a friendly face upon your arrival. We will lead the service with professional and emotional integrity, and afterwards we will remain until everyone has left.

Nicola – an incredible celebrant who turned our vows into a beautiful ceremony

Sophie Griffiths

Wedding | 07/11/2021 | Cornish Tipi Holidays

Nicola was our celebrant for our wedding this summer and she could not have been more amazing! From the outset Nicola was incredible – she met up with us in person and on Zoom to keep in touch and find out more about us. She remained such a calming presence throughout the entire process and on the day itself Nicola conducted the most beautiful ceremony. All of our guests have raved about what an amazing celebrant she was – we honestly can’t thank her enough for making our day so incredibly special! Sophie and Georgie.

Wedding | 10/20/2018 | Hotel Endsleigh

Nicola and Denise are some of the most fantastic humans I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with. I hired their services for my small and intimate wedding of just 10 people at Hotel Endsleigh, and Nicola performed a breathtaking ceremony for myself,my husband and the guests. Nicola was gently-spoken and soothing to listen to, which leant well to the eloquent script of our ceremony.Thank you Nicola and Denise for all of your collective help and for executing our ceremony so beautifully. We will never ever forget the laughter and the joy you brought us.
