Hi, I'm Louise
My greatest pleasure is working with my clients to put together a service that leaves them feeling they have the very best of memories to look back on for years to come. It’s all about, beauty, style and where appropriate a touch of humour. My aim is to listen to what my couples want in order to deliver the very best service and value for money possible.
What's my ceremony style?
I provide a professional and warm service. Past clients often comment on the clarity of my delivery which makes for a greater sense of connection with my audiences.. I understand that people often feel nervous and always work hard to ensure everyone feels at ease around me. I pride myself in really paying attention to reflecting the personalities of my clients and their ideas and always go the extra mile with extra little touches!

Why choose Louise for your wedding?
I love to put people at ease because I know how it feels to be on the shy side. I’m very organised, 100% reliable and aim for perfection in everything I do. I am quick to respond to messages and never work from a template. We can arrange a preliminary meeting so we can get to know each other, discuss your key requirements and make sure I am the right celebrant for you. My couples receive a booking confirmation, a pre- planning questionnaire and then a full planning meeting (average duration 2 hours). After the meeting a draft copy of the script is provided for approval with unlimited edits. Then we book a final meeting before the big day to check things through. I’lll arrive early with up to an hour’s flexibility on the start time to allow for unforeseen circumstances. I will conduct your ceremony with confidence and warmth, leaving everyone with a smile on their faces.

Highly recommend
Dear Louise
I just wanted to send my heartfelt gratitude to you for your amazing contribution to my family’s recent sad occasion of committal for my dear Mother, Margaret Hampton.
Although it was an extremely sad and difficult time for me and my family/friends, you made it more bearable by giving an uplifting and enjoyable presentation of Mum’s life. You brought it together so professionally with great timing and the use of your lovely speaking voice. I was also so impressed and delighted at your beautiful singing voice during the hymn..Mum would have loved hearing you sing with great gusto and enjoyment.
Thank you also for being there listening to our stories of Mum and understanding the great woman she was. You were so easy to talk to and you brought out past memories with ease.
Thank you so much for the loan of the memory tree. This proved to be such a lovely way for people to say how they felt about Mum. It gave me and the family lots of pride and happiness reading all the true to life and sometimes funny comments.
Finally, once again, thank you Louise for your precious time on 28th June 2022 and for uplifting us to move forward in the future.
I hope you can use this as a recommendation for future events you may have, as I would have no problem in giving you the highest praise for any occasion you may host.
I wish you a long and happy future and send kindest regards
Linda Smith
Daughter of Margaret Hampton 09.04.1939 – 22.05.2022
Funeral
Louise officiated as Celebrant at my darling Mum’s funeral. From our initial meeting Louise put my family at ease and made it a lovely experience to talk about Mum and her life. My son also attended this meeting by zoom call from Australia along with my elder daughter.
The funeral flowed along so well with Louise leading and guiding us through. Also her amazing singing voice managed to lift us up on what was such a sad day. All in all Louise was a great Celebrant. She is caring and calming and my family would have no hesitation in recommending her for any occasion.
Perfect Naming Day
Thank you for making our Naming Day so special for me and O.
I got lots of great comments afterwards saying how lovely the ceremony was, and that it was different to what people had experienced before, in particular they enjoyed how personal it was to us.
Thanks also for all your help in washing up, it definitely wasn’t part of your job description! 😁
Best wishes,
Beth
