Hi, I'm Katie

Passionate about people, I adore creating and presenting bespoke, tailored wedding ceremonies that tell a couple’s love story in a unique, personal and fun way. I’ve got years of experience as an Independent Celebrant; since 2013 I’ve helped hundreds of happy couples! I’d love to see if we are a good fit for each other and really hope that I can help start your special day off with a bang – so if your wedding, blessing or vow renewal is planned for Kent, the South East or even abroad then let’s talk! Micro ceremonies or elopements are also gaining in popularity – get in touch if you’re interested in keeping things short and sweet!

What's my ceremony style?

I adore that feeling of freedom you only get in the great outdoors, and so do many of my couples. A lot of the ceremonies I perform are completely outside, held in woodland, beautiful gardens, under ancient trees, in marquees or tipis. Stately homes, manor houses, medieval castles and old beamed barns are also favourite places of mine to conduct the personalised ceremonies I create. I’ll dress to suit your chosen theme – most often in a dress to match your colour scheme but a jumpsuit or sequins can be arranged too! I’ve performed alternative weddings in full medieval costume, on stage at a live music venue and even at a retro amusement park. I’d love to hear what you’ve got planned for your special day!

Highlight

As Seen on e4's Married at First Sight UK

I officiated Erica & Jordan’s wedding on the current series of Married at First Sight UK (e4 Episode 12). Two beautiful strangers who were perfectly matched by relationship experts. I also appeared in 2021 marrying Morag & Luke who sadly didn’t hit it off (I have high hopes for E & J!) x

Why choose Katie?

I really try to capture the essence of each couple I work with, so that I can create a bespoke ceremony that’s perfect for you, adding just the right amount of emotion, humour, tradition or symbolism needed. Clients have said that I’m a calm and reassuring presence leading up to their wedding day, as I guide them through the process. I’d love to tell your unique love story with a totally individual wedding ceremony written just for you – like a stick of rock, it’ll have your names written right through it!

Weddings

My favourite weddings are those which have the couple’s ideas, feelings and personalities absolutely at the heart of them – I never get tired of hearing how it all began for you, and and have created nearly 350 bespoke ceremonies telling those beautiful love stories. I guess my ideal couple would be those who totally get the concept of a celebrant-led wedding ceremony and how perfect it is to showcase their love and relationship. After 10 years of doing this as my full time job it should never be a hard sell – and if you’re here reading this then we’re probably made for each other! Get in touch soon, Katie x

For so many couples, the choice of a religious or a civil ceremony just isn’t enough! I became an Independent Celebrant especially to cater for those people who want a say in where and how they marry, and importantly, the content of their wedding ceremony. I work with couples who want to have a wedding somewhere unlicensed, like their family home or fully outdoors in a garden or woodland. And I increasingly work with couples who have booked a licenced venue but who want their wedding day to start with a ceremony that reflects their beliefs and personalities.

A large number of my clients are British couples who live abroad and have quietly married to satisfy visa and residency requirements, but who come home to have their English wedding in front of friends and family as well as international clients wanting a destination wedding or UK elopement.

Why choose Katie for your wedding?

With intimate and micro-weddings being the new norm, it doesn’t mean your wedding day can’t still be as unique as the two of you! As your Celebrant, you’ll not only get a personalised wedding ceremony that tells your love story with humour and emotion, but I’ll be a calm and reassuring presence in the lead-up and on the day itself. I especially understand how difficult it’s been for couples whose plans had to change over the pandemic – but we all know that love wasn’t cancelled!

Renewal of Vows

My perfect couple might have been been married for 5, 10, 25 or even 50 years, but what’s most important is that you love each other very much and wish to celebrate that feeling amongst friends and family. It’s a very special way to look back at your original wedding day as well as gaze into the future, and the rest of your lives together. Marriage has its ups and downs and so many couples don’t make it, so let’s celebrate the two of you, your journey and all the amazing things you’ve achieved.

My bespoke Vow Renewal ceremonies vary from intimate, informal gatherings with just close family or something far grander with a huge guest list. You may have had a to make do with a Register Office wedding the first time around, and now’s the time to push the boat! I love creating and performing Vow Renewals and they can be a lot of fun especially if you have children or grandchildren – I’ve lots of ideas to get them involved in the ceremony which I’m sure you’ll love too! Often Vow Renewals coincide with a special date, like your 10th, 25th or 40th Wedding Anniversary. What could be more fun than celebrating your long and happy marriage than hosting a party for everyone you love starting with a beautifully personal vow renewal?

Why choose Katie for your renewal of vows?

I love that nowadays couples have so much choice when it comes to the content of the ceremonies they celebrate their life events with. You have complete ownership of your ceremony, but I’m happy to offer you my expert support and guidance as we shape and visualise your day. Your Vow Renewal ceremony ought to reflect your marriage – as unique as the two of you! As your Celebrant, you’ll get a personalised vow renewal that tells your love story just the way you want it, and I love getting to know you as we create your perfect ceremony.

Wedding | 08/18/2018 | Private Land, Kent

Just wanted to pass on a massive thank you for Saturday!! We had an amazing time and you started our day off just right – thank you so much!! (How emotional was that aisle walk right?! I wasn’t expecting to feel so tearful!) Honestly, the ceremony was just what we wanted, we loved all of it and so many people commented on how nice it was. We even impressed Toby’s other Grandad who before Saturday believed that proper weddings could only take place in churches!! I heard there were a few happy tears too (mostly from the men actually!!)
