Hi, I'm Jane

Hello, I’m a journalist and qualified independent celebrant. I’ve gone from news stories to love stories!.

I understand the power of words and the impact of a good story, well told. I believe every ceremony, whether it’s a vow renewal, wedding, or baby naming ceremony, has to capture the very essence of the people involved.

Having me to write, deliver and choreograph your ceremony means you can have it exactly how you picture it. Alpacas as ring bearers? not a problem, tequila shots to end? why not. If you’re stuck for inspiration and ideas, I have plenty.

The important thing is getting to know you, and your story, and weaving that into a ceremony that you’re happy with. If it’s not exactly how you imagined it sounding, we can make as many changes as you like. There are no hard and fast rules with a celebrant led ceremony, it can be as relaxed and intimate, or as jolly and rousing as you want it to be.

I’m happy to have a face to face, no obligation, chat about your plans, before you make up your mind. You need to trust the person enabling you to celebrate one of lifes milestones, and being a celebrant is a privilege.

I live in Quorn, Leicestershire, and am willing to travel to Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Rutland.

I’m a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, and trained with the Ofsted “outstanding” accredited Civil Ceremonies Ltd.

What's my ceremony style?

I can conduct wedding and civil partnership ceremonies, once the legal bit has been completed. I also offer baby/child naming ceremonies, vow renewals and commitment ceremonies. The style of ceremony depends on you. You may be drawn to traditional rituals like hand fasting or ‘jumping the broom’ , or you may prefer something more contemporary like a wishing tree or ring warming.

Ceremonies that are inclusive and involve family and guests can make it really special and something everyone will remember. Readings, poetry and music are all powerful ways of declaring love and commitment.

Why choose Jane?

I’m the person people talk to in the queue at the post office. I’m approachable and easy going, but with a sharp eye and ear for detail.

Ceremonies can be emotional, as well as joyful occasions, and a sense of humour can help to make those transitions from a tear in the eye, to a smile on the face. I’ve always loved storytelling in all its forms, so what could be better than telling a love story. Let’s do it – Let’s Celebrate!

Jane was the celebrant for our little boy’s first birthday/Naming Ceremony. She made the day so special and one that we will never forget. Jane suggested lots of little ‘special’ things that we could do throughout the ceremony which made it unique to us. Would highly recommend Jane and we will definitely use her again in the future x

Jane is such a lovely person and we can’t thank her enough for our amazing and unique ceremony. We met with Jane a couple of times to plan our ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted and completely personalised. We’ve received so many compliments and owe it all to Jane. Thank you again!

Naming Ceremony | 06/03/2022 | Derby

A huge thank you Jane for creating the perfect naming ceremony for our son, which was enjoyed so much by all our family and friends. We hadn’t been able to have the ceremony when we had originally planned due to lockdowns but we still wanted to celebrate the arrival of our youngest son, and it was certainly worth the wait and better than we could have ever expected.

Jane took time prior to the ceremony to learn all about our family, speaking with us and our guide parents to create a ceremony personal to us and our boys which we just loved. Jane was so easy to talk with, nothing was too much trouble and we all felt at ease with her. She also helped include our older son in the ceremony with a lovely sand ritual which he really enjoyed, and he was so proud to be part of it – this was something we received lots of lovely comments about from our guests.

We had the most amazing day, and we’re thankful for you being a part of it. We would certainly recommend! Thank you so much again!
