Hi, I'm Lisa
I love, love.
I love wine (preferably red), the stories told by Charles Dickens and Wes Anderson, the music of Leonard Cohen and Biggie Smalls, and most of all I love, real honest people.
Those rare gems who aren’t afraid to do things their way. Who don’t follow trends, who love with all their soul. Those are my kind of people. Originality over ordinary, forever.
I pride myself on bringing integrity and creativity to your ceremony. Our imaginations need to roam I’ll spend time getting to know you so I can make the perfect suggestions from content and music to sharing ideas for symbolic rituals.
If you want a contemporary ceremony, that is an expression of your personality, emotions and ideas, let’s get started.
TOGETHER WE WILL CREATE AN ORIGINAl CEREMONY THAT SPEAKS OF YOUR LOVE.
What's my ceremony style?
Moments matter, and never more so in ceremonies that celebrate your magnificent milestones. I always say to my couples and families don’t settle for anything that makes you feel ordinary. Let’s define the key moments for you and amplify them with beautiful storytelling and poignant reminders of how lucky we are to have each other wrapped in unique rituals and purpose.
Together we’ll create something true to you. Beautiful and real. Planning a ceremony is an incredible experience and I’ll be with you every step of the way. I will be your source of knowledge to bounce ideas off. I’ll show you how to rip up the rule book, so you can have a ceremony that’s truly unique and reflects your vibe and values.

Why choose Lisa?
Your creativity matters my role is to encourage and inspire you to help you make the choices that feel right and resonate for you. Way back in 2016 I trained as a professional celebrant with Civil Ceremonies Limited, to enhance my learning in the craft of creating epic ceremonies. Now I can help you get the very best from yours. Using my degree in English and love of ceremonies with real personality, I’ll help bring to life your ideas and inspire you to rip up the rule book. Say goodbye to the bland and boring, there is none of that here.
What do I offer?
Weddings
I’ve always been inspired by the truth of love, how it uplifts and can heal us. My role is to help you celebrate your unique and individual love, in a way that feels right for you. Who wants to be the same as everyone else anyway?
One of my favourite things about being a celebrant is bringing meaning and personality to ceremonies. I love encouraging couples to think outside the box, explore their wildest dreams and wishes. Understanding what is special to you and how you want to feel is so important. It’s also a great place to start when you begin to think about planning a ceremony.
We’ll explore what you like and want to avoid. There are no restrictions on the type of ceremony you can have; it can include all the traditions, modern twists, religious content, humour you’d like. Or it could be something completely alternative.
My unlimited support includes an initial consultation, ceremony questionnaires and tips to help you write your own vows. I’ll help research the perfect readings, explore adding your own twists and I’ll coordinate the smooth running of the ceremony.
You’ll have a perfect original and one-of-a kind ceremony officiated by me. I’ll leave you with the best memories and a beautiful keepsake presentation copy of your ceremony.
We can mix modern with traditional, create new ideas, whilst balancing the right energy and flow. You might already know what you want to include in the ceremony or you might need some inspiration.

Why choose Lisa for your wedding?
Each ceremony is bespoke and unique to you, based on your vision and vibe. It’s a privilege to be part of the creation of your wedding day and to hear real, brave and bold love stories.
“When choosing a celebrant, I didn’t know where to start. I wanted someone who could make our friends laugh (and cry), could tell our story in a way that didn’t sound (too) cheesy and keep everyone captivated for 30 minutes. This is no mean feat so I thank my lucky stars that I found Lisa who delivered all the above”
— Jess and Alex
Naming Ceremonies
When you’re born to be an individual why try to fit in?
Modern families come in all shapes and sizes. I work with families who have varying circumstances and diverse backgrounds to create bespoke ceremonies for babies and children that reinforce the bonds of family and friendship.
Naming ceremonies are an original way to have a relaxed and personal celebration for a new child joining the family. Perfect for cool kids and families looking for an alternative to a Christening with a more authentic way to welcome your new arrival.
Every ceremony I create is bespoke and unique to you. Understanding how you want to feel and what’s important to your family is a great place to start when we begin to talk about what to include in your ceremony.
I’ll give you unlimited support and inspiration, creating the perfect naming day ceremony that reflects your values.
The strength of this ceremony can be created with declarations and promises from parents, godparents grandparents and your VIPs.
Adding creative touches is one way to stand out from the crowd. You could include rituals, your family history, hopes and dreams, music and personal thank yous.
There are many symbolic acts you could choose for your ceremony. Here are just a few ideas; lighting of a candle, sand ceremony, message trees, handfasting, time capsules and tree planting.
I understand time is precious, especially when you’re a new parent. I’m here to make sure everything runs smoothly, and the day is a beautiful celebration of your family.
These ceremonies aren’t exclusively for babies, I can create unique ceremonies for; welcoming older children, blended families and celebrating the adoption of a child.

Finding out what’s important to you will inspire me to create an authentic ceremony that has you right in the heart of it. We’ll have some fun along the way as we look back to all those defining moments and lessons in love that have led you here. To say, I do, take two.

It honestly could not have been more perfect or gone more smoothly – we wouldn’t have changed a thing
We booked Lisa for our wedding ceremony in September 2021 – after 2 postponements and not being able to book a registrar for a legal ceremony at our chosen venue, we explored the celebrant route which we were unsure about at first – as we simply didn’t know what to expect! However I can say it’s most definitely the one thing that made postponing our wedding worth it.
Lisa took the time to get to know us and our story through multiple hours long zoom calls over a glass of wine. Conversation flowed so easily and Lisa is fantastic at giving advice and suggestions, whilst also helping build your own personalised ceremony.
Lisa clearly loves what she does and it shows, her words were beautiful and you could see how much time & care was taken. Our ceremony (without sounding cliché) was simply magical. It honestly could not have been more perfect or gone more smoothly – we wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Thank you Lisa – you are amazing!
We can not recommend her highly enough
Lisa was the celebrant for our wedding in June and she made an epic ceremony for us.
We first met Lisa via Zoom because it was still the pandemic and she was really enthusiastic about all of our wedding plans.
Lisa guided us though the process of building a ceremony including supporting us to write our own vows. Before we met Lisa we never imagined writing our own vows and they were one of the highlights. Speaking to Lisa and planning our ceremony really enabled us to think about the reason we were getting married and helped us to express our love to each other.
On the day Lisa took time to speak to us both and calm any nerves we might have had. Lisa led the ceremony and set a beautiful tone for our day. She was able to get our guests involved and make them feel part of the day.
We can not recommend her highly enough, our guests were commenting on how personal and brilliant the ceremony was – book her if you can!
Thank you Lisa!
Jane and Kieran
