Hi, I'm Claire
As an independent celebrant I specialise in all celebrations of life and can assist in creating a truly memorable and personalised ceremony for any life event you wish to commemorate.
I have experience of public events and in public speaking having worked for a major charity promoting their ethos and brand. This provided me with the skill set of understanding what tone to set to each occasion and the remit expected from those involved.
I am also a trained mediator, which may prove advantageous to you when planning your ceremony and juggling the needs and wants of others! I am empathetic and able to offer support and guidance at stressful, emotional and sensitive times.
A passion of mine is interior design. This enables me to ‘think outside the box’ in terms of creativity and ideas and bring to the forefront a truly unique and bespoke piece of work.
Above all it’s about ‘Your day, Your way’.
What's my ceremony style?
I am open minded, committed, and conscientious with a great eye for detail and the ability to read a room.
I am calm in a crisis and enjoy meeting new people and learning more about them.
I can assist in all areas of ceremony planning and together we can compile a truly unique (certainly not a one size fits all) ceremony that will be remembered by all those in attendance.
Many people are now reconnecting with and commemorating many significant and different life events.
The pandemic has highlighted to us all the importance of reconnecting with one another and recognising and celebrating all that life means to us as individuals.
I so hope we can discuss more about your life ceremony and how I may be of help.

Why choose Claire?
We are all individual so ‘your’ ceremony should reflect that. ‘Your’ needs, choices, and aspirations should be recognised and showcased through a tailor made and bespoke ceremony.
Allow me to be the celebrant that represents all these things and more.
Planning for an important occasion can evoke a range of emotions dependant on the event itself. This then detracts from the true essence and meaning you are wishing to convey and feel.
The most important aspect of my role as a celebrant is to create a unique and personal ceremony that perfectly suits you as a couple, group, or family.
Above all it’s about ‘Your day’, ‘Your way’.
What do I offer?

Weddings
I work with couples to understand exactly what they want from their ceremony. There is no one size fits all so a truly bespoke and unique ceremony will be created and brought to life.
Whether you want a modern twist on a traditional ceremony or a total reinvention (or anything in-between) with me as your celebrant, there are no limitations or rules.! (well there may be a few but lets not that put a damper on proceedings!)
Together we would discuss your requirements for the feel, the style and the duration of your ceremony. Working with you, or alongside your wedding planner we will create the ceremony you desire.
Above all it’s about ‘Your day, Your way’.

Why choose Claire for your naming ceremony?
Naming ceremonies are typically a non-religious alternative to a Christening, although they can take many forms. A naming ceremony is a stage at which a person or persons is officially assigned a name. The methods of the practice differ over cultures and religions. The timing at which a name is assigned can vary from some days after birth to several months or many years.
A naming ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of a new baby or to welcome an adopted child or step-children into your family and wider community. Many families choose to hold a naming ceremony to celebrate their child’s arrival. Whether you want a modern twist on a traditional ceremony or a total reinvention (or anything in-between) with me as your celebrant, there are no limitations or rules.

Amazing Celebrant
Dear Lovely Claire,
From the moment we had our first Zoom call I knew we were in good hands.
You totally understood our family dynamic and this was dealt with incredible diplomacy (and great dollop of tact!)
Thank you for enabling this most important day go so smoothly.

Thank you
Hi Claire,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for officiating at dads funeral.
I know we were out of our depth with regard to the timings and order of service but with your help, support, sensitivity and gentle encouragement we got there.
The planning and the occasion itself would have been far more stressful if we hadn’t been so lucky and fortunate to have found you as our celebrant.
Many thanks

Dear Claire
Thank you for all your help and support in arranging my father’s funeral.
I thought everything went well and your sensitive conducting of the service was just right. It was also helpful getting your advice in advance of the day itself. There are always so many choices that having an experienced hand to guide us was really helpful.
In particular having someone to run things past gave my sister the confidence to go ahead with her eulogy which was great.
Many thanks
Andrew
