We first met Jessica when we asked her to be the celebrant for our wedding and our sons naming day back in 2017. She was unbelievable at that meeting with us before hand and really getting to know us and our whole family and making the day so personal and special to us, so much so that we have all kept in touch with Jessica in the years following. Unfortunately this year our grandad passed away and his one instruction was that he wanted a funeral where people could celebrate his life and not mourn his death. Now the last thing I wanted for him was your usual funeral or as I call them funeral by numbers, where a random stranger stands up and just inserts a name in a prepared speech with no feelings, knowledge or emotion involved at all. This is where I instantly thought of Jessica. She was absolutely fantastic all throughout the entire process, from putting our Nan at ease when she met her on many different occasions to discuss our grandads life, his loves, his hates, his history and everything anyone could ever know. Her questions where in depth but asked in a way where you didn’t even realised they were Questions. It just seemed like we were all sitting round having a laugh and a talk about a man we all loved. Jessica sorted out all the music, dealt with the undertakers and sorted out absolutely every request we had of her. As for the ceremony itself, Jessica made us all laugh, cry, really remember the man we all loved. She brought his life to life before us by painting such vivid pictures with her words that we would have thought she knew him for years. Jessica was always professional, calm and so, so caring. I would never hesitate to use jessica again for any celebration we had and I’m so happy that she’s not only our celebrant of choice but also now our friend
