We booked Jess for our wedding on Sunday 16th July 2023.

Jess came recommended to us by our venue which always provides a bit of assurance and on meeting Jess we could see why.

She was very warm and welcoming but had a calmness and professionalism about her which was comforting and felt like she’d have our day well in hand.

We exchanged details and a WhatsApp group was set up with communication when needed. It didn’t feel like a bombardment but an occasional check-in and ask for information when needed. We liked this style as it didn’t add to the pressure we already had in arranging a wedding.

Jess is very thorough in getting to know you as a person and as a couple. Aside from chats and check-ins, we were asked to complete a couples questionnaire which we could do separately or together. We chose separately as we thought it’d be interesting to offer our different perspectives on the relationship. Jess took all of that info and worked it into an amazing speech that really captured what our relationship is all about.

On the day itself, Jess arrived early and dressed really nice – taking our colours and theme into consideration. She said hello but then was quick off the mark to make sure everything was ready with the venues and staff supporting.

Jess’s professionalism and warmness shone though as she coordinated the start of the ceremony and spoke with confidence, humour and came across really genuine and human. This definitely helped with our own nerves on the day. She arranged a light hearted poem, reflected both of our questionnaires really well and touched on important points to both of us which we really appreciated.

We couldn’t recommend Jess enough as a celebrant. A lovely person and we feel lucky to have had her share in our special day.

All the best, Jess, and thank you.
