Hi Erika
I have just realised that I hadn’t thanked you for the marvellous service you conducted for Jane, I could not have asked more, you managed to capture the very essence of my wife and so eloquently conveyed to all attending.
My very best

Hi Erika. Just wanted to say that the family and Anna in particular were glowing in praise of the service today. Pitched just right and in my opinion, enough to start the healing process.
Thank you

I just wanted to say a big thank you for today’s service. Everybody has given lovely feedback on the content and delivery, and you made me feel like I was being helped by an old friend. I couldn’t have asked for a better goodbye for my father.

Wonderful naming ceremony
We booked Erika to do a naming ceremony for our beautiful baby girl, Lyra, and she did a smashing job, the only thing I regret is not recording it! Erika was kind, helpful and professional throughout and was prompt at responding to messages. We started the process by having a zoom call to go through the basics and to see if we wanted her to conduct the ceremony and me and my partner both loved her warm character.
We filled out a questionnaire and she wrote a wonderful ceremony, highlighting key memories and provided us plenty of opportunity to make amendments. This being the first time I had organised or attended a naming ceremony I did have some questions along the way and Erika was always on hand to provide advice and recommendations.
All of the guests said how lovely and touching it was … mummy was crying within seconds of Erika speaking! When Lyra piped up during the ceremony Erika made sure to make it part of the proceedings which was a lovely touch, as was providing a certificate for the godparents and mummy and daddy to commemorate the day.
Thank you so much for making it such a wonderful day Erika! I would not hesitate to recommend Erika for any of your key moments in life!
Thank You!
We recently used Erika for our special Xmas wedding, she was wonderful.
Very helpful in the build up to the wedding meeting us at the venue to take us through the ceremony and offer advice along with her experience putting us at ease for the big day.
On the day the ceremony surpassed our expectations. It was both light hearted and emotional which is exactly what it should be. Several guests have gone on to say how much they enjoyed the ceremony and praised Erika.
We would like to thank Erika and would highly recommend her.

Farewell to Dad
Erika conducted the funeral for my Dad yesterday at the Oaks in Havant. Erika took the time to visit the family and really connect with us and find out about my Dad’s history, personality and passions in life. This enabled Erika to provide such a personal service that struck a chord with everyone attending. She was highly professional and her sensitive and warm delivery helped provide the send-off my Dad would have been proud of. Such a lovely person to boot! Thank you, Erika.
