Hi, I'm Melanie
UPBEAT, RELAXED CEREMONIES. Let’s have fun creating a ceremony that’s all about you – where, when and how you want to celebrate. I’m a fun-loving celebrant based in Chichester, but travel around Sussex and Hampshire to your perfect location. My style is friendly, calm and easy going, but I love to organise and get things just right for couples on their special day. By getting to know you, I will create a ceremony that is personalised to celebrate you and those you love. There is no script we have to follow; you can get married where and when you like and have a day filled with memories of love, laughter and joy. After many years of living in Spain, I can also help create a bilingual ceremony. If you fancy a chat about your ideas, questions and conundrums, please get in touch. It’s your day – do what you love!
What's my ceremony style?
My style is fun, relaxed, positive and humorous. If you like to laugh and celebrate life, then I just may be the celebrant for you.

Why choose Melanie?
I became a celebrant because I want to know your story and help share it in a unique ceremony that’s a true reflection of you and those you love! How do you want to remember your ceremony? That’s where we’ll begin.

Naming Ceremonies
A naming ceremony is an amazing way to be introduced to your friends, family and the world. It may serve as an alternative to a christening, for a special birthday or a rite of passage and is a wonderful way to personalise the message of love you are giving. This is a unique ceremony that can include family readings, special songs, a symbolic ritual and a gathering in a location special to your family. It is a great gift to a child or even to yourself if you have made the decision to choose a new name.

Renewal of Vows
What’s cooler than getting married? Marrying the same person again! Couples choose to renew their vows for many different reasons – it may be a special anniversary, a fresh start or a new family, but what could be more meaningful than choosing to commit again. The ceremony may be similar to a wedding or may be something completely different, but will represent your years together and the new ones ahead. Like a wedding, we will meet well ahead of the big day to plan, write and organise a beautiful celebration.

Funerals
Commemorating the life of a loved one is an opportunity to reflect, laugh, cry, share and even celebrate. It is never easy, I know. My own desire to become a celebrant was driven very much by my own experiences at family memorials and funerals. Despite the difficult times surrounding the end of a loved one’s life, there can be so much to honour and a great opportunity to be closer to others.

Why choose Melanie for your funeral?
Arranging a memorial or funeral can feel like an overwhelming experience, but as a celebrant I am here to help you through the experience. We will have a friendly, relaxed meeting with time for you to share stories and to talk about how we will arrange the service. As well as writing the eulogy, I can help with music choices, tributes, and arrangements specific to your day.

Celebrant of the Century
We looked at a few celebrants when wanting to book one for our wedding when we came across Melanie’s website and we had a feeling she would be for us. When we had our first call we knew straight away Melanie was the one. From that moment Melanie was so responsive and always on hand to help giving us ideas for our ceremony, reading our vows, providing a couples quiz to really get to know us and our story. Our ceremony was so personal and just perfect. Melanie was at the venue early to set up and meet guests and checked in with both myself and my husband before to make sure we were both okay before we got started. Everyone said what a lovely service it was and how different it was. That was all down to Melanie! We couldn’t have asked for more or a more perfect service. The biggest thank you Melanie from both me and James x
A Wonderful Blended Family Wedding
If your looking for a bespoke, personal and beautiful ceremony, look no further!! Melanie is professional, friendly and amazing at putting together a ceremony where you wont have a dry eye in sight (happy tears of course!).
From the first zoom meeting we had with Melanie we knew she was the perfect match for our wedding. She listened and really got to know us as as couple, and a family. Our views of the perfect ceremony came to light and nothing was ever too much trouble. Melanie took a great understanding to how we wanted our ceremony to go. We wanted our ceremony to be about us but also about our children and how we were becoming a blended family, and she 100% captured that in 30 – 45 minutes!
Our guests were non stop going on about how lovely the ceremony was and how they have never been to a wedding ceremony like it before. It was everything we dreamed of, best day ever!!
Thank you so much Melanie.
Perfect for our Baby Naming Ceremony
Melanie was the perfect choice for our daughter’s naming ceremony. She captured the vibe perfectly and her pre event questionnaire ensured she knew and included all the important details, personal touches and name checks on the day. Fun, personable and friendly, we would recommend her highly.
