Hi, I'm Angela

Are you looking for a warm, caring & creative, family focused celebrant – to help you mark your special occasion? If so – I’m the one for you!
I’m a retired primary school deputy headteacher, who is passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. I’m widely known as a ‘people person’ with a kind, nurturing approach to all.
Now that I’m a fully qualified independent celebrant, I feel that I have the most wonderful and joyful role… I get to create and deliver the most spectacular and personalised ceremonies to mark the milestones of life.
Whether you’re getting married, renewing your vows, or welcoming a baby / child to the family, it is your opportunity to mark this epic moment in time – so be sure to have it your unique way and not how everyone else expects it…
Let’s get together for a chat and together we’ll create a beautiful, bespoke ceremony that is perfect for your celebration.

What's my ceremony style?

Whether you’d like your celebration to be luxuriously lavish, simple and stylish or completely original – it’s up to you. What matters to you is what matters to me… Being a very flexible and understanding soul, I will support you to shine a light on the important things that you want to share in ceremony – which is your unique story. I’d be delighted to incorporate elements of faith (e.g. readings, special prayers, hymns) or none at all into our script. I can also show you a range of ‘symbolic’ rituals; or we can plan a more ‘traditional’ feel – the choice is yours…
My ethos is ‘Live for Today’ and I believe we should all get planning experiences that will bring us immense happiness. You can be confident that I will listen carefully – to ensure that your ceremony captures the essence of your love and is a unique and amazing experience for you, your friends and your family.

Why choose Angela?

As a mother and grandmother, I’m a fun loving person, who is very family orientated. I know first-hand that life is short so we must celebrate the milestones of life in the best way possible…
I’m a professional but very friendly and down to earth woman- who has experienced many highs and lows of life’s journey and survived to tell the tale!
Throughout my personal life and teaching career, I’ve developed a strong sense of empathy and understanding of what makes people tick. Building upon this, my celebrant training with the ‘Academy of Modern Celebrancy’ has equipped me with a sound mastery of what is needed to create wonderful ceremonies.
Thankfully, I’m often told that I have a wicked sense of humour and very easy to get along with.
I’m passionate about my role in helping you to decide on ideas for your special occasion so that your ceremony is a true reflection of your style.

Naming Ceremonies

What is a Naming Ceremony? / Adoption Ceremony? Your naming ceremony can be traditional, contemporary, formal, informal, serious, fun or as quirky as you like! A ‘Naming Ceremony’ is a beautiful way to celebrate the birth of a new baby – if you have decided against a religious service. It is a unique celebration of family and life. The day can include whatever is significant to you as a family. It will include officially naming your baby or children and wonderful declarations of promises and commitments from significant members of your family and friends. An ‘Adoption or Welcoming Ceremony’ gives your family the wonderful opportunity to welcome an adopted child, or step-children into your family and wider community. Many symbolic elements can be chosen to symbolise the blending of your hopes, thoughts and beliefs for the future – that you all have as one family moving forward are expressed. Lots of celebrations and joy surround both of these ceremonies.

First of all, you don’t need a licensed venue – as your bespoke ceremony can be held at any place that is special to you – be it outside in your chosen park, sporting venue, family garden, village hall, manor house, or at your favourite theatre, pub or restaurant.
The content is flexible and can include readings, poems and favourite music that means something special to you all.
It can take the form of – declarations of promises and commitments from chosen family members and friends. Symbolic unity candle or sand ceremonies are particularly wonderful, allowing the whole family to be involved.
Everyone can sing along to your preferred songs or listen to classical music – whatever you choose. Traditional or meaningful poems can be read, and your ‘new family’ stories can be told.
All of this will ensure a ceremony, which is as unique as your family deserve.

Renewal of Vows

Whether it’s been four, five or fifty years since your original wedding- you’re still in love and deserve a ceremony that reflects how blessed you are to have each other.
Your chance to say, “I do…” Again!
A vow renewal ceremony is a lovely way to celebrate and reaffirm your love and commitment to one another in front of the important people in your life.

So, you can get creative and decide on something completely different from your wedding day, or keep it traditional… it’s up to you.
You can have input to your ceremony script or you can give me complete creative freedom to write your ceremony for you. You then have the option to make amendments to your script before the day.

Four simple steps:
1st. We chat on the phone or video call to discuss what you are looking for from your vow renewal ceremony and so that I can answer any questions you may have.
2nd. If, after our chat, you feel that I am the right celebrant for you, I would send you a booking form to complete along with details of the initial deposit required to secure your special date.
3rd. I research, develop and write your ceremony script.
This is the creative part. I take all the information you have given me and weave it into a bespoke ceremony script for you that brings your story to life and makes it sparkle!
4th. Finally, I will conduct your personalised vow renewal service.
You will fall in love all over again! This will be a day to remember, memories to cherish and guests who will be completely wowed!

An Amazing Celebrant

Wedding | 10/06/2023 | Alnwick Gardens, Northumberland

Angela is an incredibly warm person and we were delighted with our experience of using her as the celebrant for our wedding ceremony. The entire process from initial consultation to the wedding day was very professional and she delivered against all of our expectations.

Angela made our ceremony bespoke to us as a couple, making sure all of the elements discussed during the planning stages were implemented on the day.

Despite it being a windy day with some audio/speaker issues, Angela adapted well and went above by creating little booklets containing our vows and promises at no additional cost to us.

Many thanks again Angela, really enjoyed working with you!

A remarkable talent.
Angela could not have been more attentive to our needs and made every effort to make our day entirely our own.
Her ceremony was noteworthy for its warmth, inclusivity and attention to detail.
Thoroughly recommended.

A WONDERFUL PERSON

Funeral | 04/20/2022 | Sedgefield, Co Durham

I would highly recommend Angela to anyone – for whatever type of ceremony you are planning. Although she is not trained as a funeral celebrant, she certainly has a wonderful way with words – as she kindly wrote the perfect eulogy for our father’s funeral.
Angela sat with us and listened intently to our reminiscing about Dad’s life and she captured the essence of the man he was, in the most beautiful and thoughtful way. We had lots of comments after his funeral to say that the words had struck a cord with lots of people and made them smile. It was perfect.
Angela is a real ‘people person’ – who has a warm and friendly nature with people of all ages. She works hard and has determined attitude to everything she takes on.
Without doubt, Angela has the ability to make any type of ceremony personalised and full of joy.
