HELLO | I LOVE YOU | GOODBYE

BESIDE YOU FOR THE MOST MEANINGFUL MOMENTS IN LIFE

Hello and welcome.  My name is Mary and I am a professionally trained civil Celebrant offering ceremonies to mark all of life’s big moments.

Whether it is welcoming a new child into a family, celebrating a couple’s love story, reaffirming their promises to one another, saying goodbye to a loved one or anything else in between, all ceremonies are an expression of our love for one another. 

It really is all about love

How it all began…


  • "We would like to say a huge thank you to Mary for her help and kindness during this difficult time, her support was invaluable. Her assistance to compose the appropriate wording to enable us to host our own family ceremony to remember our late father was greatly appreciated. We thoroughly endorse her services a s a celebrant to support families in their time of need. Many thanks for all you have done for our family."

  • “Mary, I just wanted to extend profuse thanks from my whole family for your lovely service and work as our celebrant for my dad. You are a great speaker and it helped make today very special indeed for us all at my father's funeral. Many people were talking about ‘the Dash’ poem you read too - they hadn’t heard it before and how you read it made it very poignant. “

I know I spent a lot of the time crying but situations like that are never good. The words, stories etc that you read out were great, spot on as if you had known Dad yourself Once again thank you so so much"

  • "Sorry I have not got back to you sooner, but I just wanted to say, on behalf of all the family, how much we appreciated the lovely way you presided over my father’s funeral. It went so well. We were really touched by the trouble you took to produce booklets of the service in full, they are lovely."
