Funerals
Funerals/Remembrance/Memorials

Grief can overwhelm our ability to think straight. Often planning or even considering the funeral ceremony of somebody we have lost can feel like an impossible task. We need to mourn, yet we also need to remember a life, where that person’s memories, the gifts they gave us can be shared and remembered. We will remember them with respect and love.

Where do I start?….. Let me begin
We didn’t start our journey looking for a celebrant, but due to our circumstances the need arose and let me say we stumbled upon a diamond!! Nigel was amazing from start to finish. He met with us and instantly we were put at ease, the ideas he had for our ceremony were amazing and added something you could never get from just having a registrar. He took all our information away from the meetings and came up with our own fully customised ceremony. When he took the time to build our own story to present to our guests he had many of them in tears and the extra dimensions he provides in customising the ceremony to your individual needs and desires goes beyond the extra mile. Guests at the ceremony were quick to say it was one of the best weddings they had attended and the venue even took his details for future bookings. If you’ve taken the time to read this review your search for your celebrant has ended as I can confirm you won’t get any better than Nigel, he comes highly recommended!! He’s worth more than the 5 stars and beyond!!
Perfection
From the very first meeting to our actual wedding the personal touch we recieved from nigel was nothing short of outstanding, there isn’t a single thing I could say I’d change. Our service was so intimate even thou we were surrounded by so many friends, I can’t recommend nigel enough for your big day , he’s absolutely amazing
Charasmatic, warm, supportive & proffesional!
Wow, where do we start! Nige is the most loving and warm person and it really shone through during our fantastic wedding ceremony. We met with him a few times before our big day and from the very first meeting we knew he was the one we needed to do our ceremony. He really guided us as a friend with care, patience and nothing was too much trouble. He thought of everything and was adaptive, professional and totally engaging! All our guests mentioned how great he was and how they could tell we were totally comfortable and put at ease in his presence! We are honoured he was with us on the day and would not hesitate to recommend him for any ceremony occasion, he goes above & beyond!
