Hi, I'm Louise
My greatest pleasure is working with my clients to put together a service that leaves them feeling they have the very best of memories to look back on for years to come. It’s all about, beauty, style and where appropriate a touch of humour. My aim is to listen to what my couples want in order to deliver the very best service and value for money possible. I love travelling and I am open to combining my holidays with offers of work anywhere at all in the world to keep costs down for my couples.
What's my ceremony style?
I provide a professional and warm service. Past clients often comment on the clarity of my delivery which makes for a greater sense of connection with my audiences.. Having come from a performing background I love to take on a role and write a script in a style to suit to venue or theme. My favourite being a pirate, mediaeval lady and most recently a Peaky Blinder.
I use my skills to take people on a journey from tears of joy, laughter and truly magical intimate moments and always work hard to ensure everyone feels at ease around me. I pride myself in really listening, paying attention to the little things and reflecting the personalities of my clients and their ideas and always go the extra mile with extra little touches!

Celebration of Life – David John Phillips
Louise recently conducted my father’s funeral. Her advice and guidance throughout, what was a truly emotional experience, was invaluable. Her attention to detail and her empathetic approach, was a great support to my mother and myself. The way that she conducted the service on the day was amazing. Louise embraced all of the small but important aspects of the “Celebration of Life” for my father. We have been overwhelmed by the beautiful comments from those who attended the service and those who joined from afar, online. These wonderful comments about the service, I am sure are, a tribute to the meticulous preparations made and the professional delivery of the service on the day by Louise. Her support throughout, has been such a fantastic experience through what has been a challenging time for us all. Thank you Louise for all that you have done to smooth the process. You are truly a star and I cannot thank you enough.
Amazing service
I met Louise at a Wedding I was shooting for (I shoot weddings for a living so I’m very particular) & I was so impressed I’ve been recommended her since to the point where I had her at my own Wedding. Me & my wife said it was the best day of our lives and Loiuse was a big part of that. From the whole presentation to the personalised deliverables on the day everything was perfect. 10/10
Absolutely amazing!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! Choosing Louise as our celebrant was an easy decision! From the beginning she just felt like the perfect fit. She was very kind and attentive to what type of energy wanted from our ceremony. She had a very in-depth questionnaire so that she could tailor the ceremony specifically to us and she even wrote us a poem from the answers in our story/our venue location/situation. She was never pushy with ideas and really felt like family after it was all over with! I can’t even say enough good things about her!!! She made our ceremony absolutely AMAZING!!!
