Hi, I'm Miranda

I’m on a quest to create ceremonies that burst with love and personality—because your big day should be as unique as you are! Let’s craft an experience that’s not only personalised and fun but also filled with laughter and moments that truly mirror your essence. From weddings and vow renewals to elopements and more, consider me your go-to guide from the first excited hello to the final joyful cheer. With me, the sky’s the limit—choose any time, any place, and let’s make magic happen without any boundaries!

I also create and officiate funerals, celebrations of life, living funerals, namings, adult-renamings, transition ceremonies and many more.

I’m known for my outgoing and joyful spirit, and I bring professionalism and calm to every occasion. I create a safe and stress-free environment where everyone can honour life’s milestones. If you’re searching for a celebrant who embodies inclusivity, warmth, and authenticity, look no further! I’m here to narrate your story with both empathy and grace, sprinkled with a good dose of humour. Think of me as your confidante, your shoulder to lean on, and of course, your celebrant.

Beyond crafting your ceremony, I’m also thrilled to MC or host your event.

Recognised as the Wedding Industry Awards National Celebrant Winner for 2023!

What's my ceremony style?

The sky is the limit! Most of all, I want you to have the day that you want – the more fun and creative the better!

I’m equally at home conducting a city ceremony or something more rustic and country in style which means that I’m a versatile celebrant with heaps of experience. And for funerals I’m used to working with funeral directors or direct with families as well as conducting funeral ceremonies in all sorts of different locations.

I also bring elements of my past careers as an events manager, stage manager, communications consultant and leadership coach to the table which means that I have an overall eye for the choreography of the whole event – not just the ceremony.

Why choose Miranda?

Choosing the right celebrant is essential because your ceremony should be a true reflection of you—authentically crafted to highlight your unique story. That’s where I come in! I am deeply committed to creating ceremonies that are not just personalised but are vivid expressions of who you are (or your loved one). I thrive on building genuine connections with every couple and family I meet, ensuring that your ceremony exceeds your expectations.

With a blend of warmth and enthusiasm, I bring your stories to life, ensuring they are told in exactly the way you envision. My approach is all about collaboration; I work closely with you, your family, and your friends to weave a ceremony that is as unique as it is memorable.

If you’re tired of cookie-cutter ceremonies and yearn for something truly special, then I might just be the celebrant you’re looking for!

Weddings

Known for rustic, boho and festival style weddings I love working with couples who like to throw out the ‘rule book’, think outside the box and banish stuffy ceremonies!

Whether a wedding, baby naming, adoption, renewal of vows or something more unique, I would love to work with you to craft and deliver a special ‘one of a kind’ ceremony just for you.

My name is Miranda Ash and I am an Independent Celebrant with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants in the UK. I cover the whole of the South East UK and South West France…or even further afield!

Our lives are made up of special moments shared with family and friends and honouring those moments with a ceremony is one of the most memorable. Whether you are planning a large gathering or a more intimate ceremony, you deserve the very best on this important day! Your choice of celebrant can play a vital role in the unique atmosphere you envisage for your special day, whether it is an elegant and sophisticated event or more intimate and relaxed. You deserve one who understands the significance of creating magical and beautiful memories which remain etched in your hearts and minds.

The beauty of a celebrant-led ceremony is that there are zero restrictions on where, when, what and how you have your ceremony. Over the years I’ve performed ceremonies in stately homes, french chateau’s, woodlands, fields and gardens, barns, restaurants, village halls, beaches, private homes and even at the top of a sky scraper!

No two ceremonies are the same and it’s always fun to bring your vision for your ceremony to life!

Celebrations For All offer bespoke ceremonies unique to you. Enjoy your day, your way!

Funerals

I’m here to guide families through one of their toughest moments, making sure each person feels truly supported and completely confident in the thoughtful, understanding care they’re receiving. I’m dedicated to providing clear, informed choices and the flexibility needed to honour their loved one in a way that genuinely reflects their unique life and essence. I value working with families who appreciate a heartfelt, personalised approach to funeral planning, one that pays attention to the meaningful details that truly celebrate the individual.

In times of deep sadness, I aim to bring gentle moments of joy and light. I help families take a moment to reflect, mourn, and celebrate the cherished stories and spirit of their loved one. My goal is to create a space where sorrow and joy can coexist, where fond memories bring smiles amidst tears, and where each ceremony is a touching homage to a life well-lived.

Miranda was a true blessing as we celebrated the life of my lovely uncle. Her compassion and thoughtfulness was evident from the start, as she took the time to truly understand who he was.

The ceremony she created was heartfelt and personal, blending memories, stories, and warmth beautifully. Miranda’s calm and poised delivery was very comforting.

Thank you, Miranda, for helping us honour my uncle in such a special and authentic way. Your care made all the difference.

Wow. Where do we even start? From the moment we met Miranda we were struck by her incredibly warm and bright energy. A celebrant makes your wedding so much more personal, and Miranda is an absolute expert. At every step, we felt so reassured that we had made the perfect choice.

Miranda, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to make our day so amazing. It takes a truly special person to organise our two unique styles into something so cohesive and beautiful. Not only that, but despite having a far from traditional ceremony, all of our guests felt comfortable and entertained.

Thank you for sorting through the pages of answers to your questionnaire and working with us to make the ceremony flow so seamlessly (and carrying on so professionally even when that arch fell over!) your good humour and excellent way of addressing crowds made everyone so much more at ease. The way you accommodated us when we needed to change certain aspects was wonderful. Your advice on the vows was so useful, and definitely came out in those unexpected happy tears on the day! So many people have commented on what a unique, magical ceremony we had, and who can blame them.

You are an absolute delight and well deserving of your National Celebrant of the Year award! We will be forever grateful to your help and kindness that made our wedding dreams come true.

Wedding | 10/12/2024 | Elessar Events, Chichester

We weren’t originally planning on having a celebrant… But then we met Miranda by accident… And we’re so glad we did!

From the moment we started chatting to her we could tell that Miranda would fit into our alternative plans for our wedding and as time went on we realised how much she was going to bring to the metaphorical table.

She created a fun and unique ceremony for us that flowed beautifully making our guests laugh and cry!

The ceremony was based 100% around our own story, it was not a ‘cut & paste’ job.

(Her methods of extracting information from us could be used by the CIA… A few emails and a fun relationship questionnaire and suddenly she knew everything about us!!)

Miranda turned up early, communicated with our venue, photographer and more to plan not just the wording of the ceremony but to ensure that everything around the ceremony ran smoothly and integrated properly.

We are very pleased with the amazing service she provided!

Thank you Miranda!
