I feel so strongly about leaving a review for Yvonne, as it is rarely the case anymore that people are appreciated for just being selfless and kindhearted. We reached out to Yvonne about possibly hosting our wedding celebration in a few weeks’ time, with little notice, and despite her not being available, I just did not expect to receive such care and guidance from her in helping us find someone who was available and suitable. She’d no reason to give us any of her time but sensing my stress after having our original plans fall apart (without even giving her much details), she took to reaching out to her network of celebrants to help us find someone for our day, as well as informing us of what to look out for when choosing. We’ve not much knowledge of non-legal weddings and would’ve spent much precious time doing some research before being able to secure anything, but we have now found someone off her recommendation, and are now secured with much peace of mind in our find, thanks to Yvonne’s support.

An experienced and friendly Celebrant, passionate about offering couples choice! With a background in public services and education and training, I was looking for a change of final career, and it just so happened that I was invited to a Wedding in 2003 in Australia, where a friend had a Wedding on a mountain top at sunset. It was so magical. I asked her how it was possible, and she explained how a Celebrant worked with her, and created a totally bespoke Ceremony that was incredibly personal, and special. In 2011, it was time to dust off that dream and make it my own reality. I found Terri Shanks' College and enrolled. It was amazing to know I could offer a new service the like of which was still relatively unknown. I wanted to give couples their Voice in their Ceremony, and now over 300 ceremonies later, I feel so lucky and so grateful in this role. I moved to Berlin in 2017 but now divide my time between the UK and Europe, creating ceremonies for couples in either English or German - German was my first language and it is fantastic to be able to reconnect with it! I am delighted to work with couples who are looking for something romantic, special, personal and magical for their wedding day, elopement, destination or bilingual ceremony.
