Hi, I'm Lara
If you’re looking for a big-hearted celebrant who can make your ceremony as personal and uplifting as the rest of your day, then you’re in the right place!
I live on the edge of the gorgeous Lake District in the North West of England with my husband, two children and our bonkers Springer Spaniel.
I get my energy from being around people and I’ve been writing for a living for the last 17 years. I studied journalism at university then embarked on a career in communications and public relations before I discovered celebrancy – and I haven’t looked back!
Being active and outside drinking in nature feeds my soul – along with a good belly laugh!
What's my ceremony style?
You’ll be hard pushed to find a wedding ceremony I won’t like! But my absolute faves are for couples that want a relaxed, fun vibe, with ceremonies that are heartfelt but can make their guests laugh as well as shed a tear!
I genuinely care about people – I get a warm squishy feeling inside if I think I’ve helped improve a person’s day in some small way! This means I spend a lot of time with my couples and families to get to know them, really understand their vision for their ceremony and help them bring it to life. You can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be as excited and invested in your day as you are! I am also the ultimate perfectionist so I pour my heart and soul into everything I do and will work my socks off to make sure you love every minute…

Why choose Lara?
I’ve always been told I’m a very positive person – I like to think of it as a mini superpower, helping people find the glimmers of sunshine in even the darkest of moments. I believe life is for living – and should be celebrated at any opportunity!
Celebrancy has given me my sparkle back – and in return, I pour my zest for life and years’ of writing experience into creating interesting, memorable ceremonies that will perfectly capture families’ stories, whatever the occasion.
What do I offer?

Weddings
My ideal couple are easy going and are planning a fun-filled day in a barn, in and amongst the outdoors or in a relaxed venue that allows them to put their stamp on the day to celebrate in their own way. They want to celebrate their love and get everyone together, but aren’t looking for a super-slushy ceremony. In and amongst the heartfelt words of their special day, they’re looking to inject some humour and personality, to truly reflect who they are as a couple.
My favourite ceremonies are those that are relaxed and super personalised – so will involve family and friends contributing something like readings or poems – and you can’t beat some live music!
I offer a completely personalised celebrant service – so will design and write your bespoke wedding ceremony, then deliver it on the day just as you’d like it.
Are there aspects of tradition you’d like to keep, and some you’d like to ditch? No problem.
You can involve who and what you like – and as someone who included her family dogs and walked down the aisle to Baywatch (it’s our song…what can I say?!) I am completely on board with changing things up…
I am here to help and guide, and together we can create an unforgettable ceremony that’s perfect for you as a couple. If the thought of being the centre of attention terrifies you – don’t worry – we can create a ceremony you love and are comfortable with, so you can lap up every moment.

Why choose Lara for your wedding?
You’ll not only get a celebrant, you’ll get a friend! I’ll want to get to know you both really well so that I can pick up on all the little details that will help me tell your story and lead your special ceremony on the day. I’m a huge perfectionist – so what we create needs to be right! You’ll get the chance to see the draft script I write and we can work on it together until you are 100% happy with every little detail.


Naming Ceremonies
If you would like to bring people together to honour a new life or to mark a fresh start, I can create a bespoke ceremony that is relaxed, child / pet-friendly, and full of life and heart.

Funerals
I love working with a variety of families and I use the time I spend with my families to really listen to what it is they want and who their loved one was so I can help them find the words they may need during such a difficult time.
My ceremonies are completely tailored to each individual family but are full of love, light and laughter.
I’ll arrange to meet you so I can learn all about your loved one’s personality; what made them tick, their sense of humour and hear your tales and memories of your times together. We can also talk about the funeral service and the various elements you might like to include. We will stay in close contact while I get the information I need and write up a ceremony which I will share with you so you have chance to approve every word.
On the day itself, I will arrive early to ensure everything is in place for the ceremony to run smoothly. I will then professionally and wholeheartedly deliver every element of the service we have crafted together to give your loved one a memorable final farewell.

Why choose Lara for your funeral?
If you are looking for a funeral celebrant who will genuinely care – not just about creating your perfect ceremony but about you – you’re in the right place. As someone who writes for a living and who’s spent hours writing poems and family eulogies over the years, I understand how important it is to get every word right. Each and every farewell should be personal and unique, and every word, song or reading should be full of heart and meaning.
