Miranda was an absolute pleasure and joy to work with! She was not only our celebrant during our wedding day, but she also our wedding agony aunt whilst re-planning our wedding three times during the pandemic. Given most people have never planned a wedding before, she is so happy to provide useful guidance and advice about all aspects of your wedding and isn’t just your celebrant! Miranda really loves to get to know her couples which enables her to write a really personal and beautifully crafted ceremony. She keeps certain aspects a surprise which is such a lovely touch for the couple to enjoy on the day. She works with you to write a ceremony that is meaningful and tells a story about your relationship, goals and wishes together as married couple. We would highly recommend Miranda as a celebrant and master of ceremonies. She was absolutely fantastic on the day, kept our day running like clock work, working with all of our vendors and running our timetable; meaning as the couple we didn’t have to worry about a thing as the vendors were able to liase with Miranda and not bother us, which it’s worth its weight in gold.
Miranda was a breath of fresh air when it came to planning our wedding ceremony. The moment she picked up the phone, we knew that she was the one for us. She went above and beyond to help us craft a perfectly unique and personal ceremony and every single one of our guests was blown away on the day; no one had ever been to a wedding ceremony quite like ours! Our original plan was to have a registrar re-create our legal ceremony, and we are so incredibly glad we didn’t! Highly recommend to anyone else who is thinking about using a celebrant, you won’t regret it!
Miranda.. where to start..? For starters, it was total good fortune and a bit of serendipity that Miranda was available for our wedding ceremony, and we thank our lucky stars she was! From the very first meeting we knew we had met someone who could navigate our ceremony with ease, charm and wit! Miranda was incredibly patient and considerate (even whilst ushering along a groom writing his vows last minute!) and most importantly of all- a great laugh. Even with some turbulent weather and last minute plan changes Miranda was able to host an incredible ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Another beautiful touch was the wedding gift of framed vows, and a book of our bucket list adventures. All we can say is run don't walk to book Miranda for your wedding ceremony!
When we chose our wedding venue, Miranda was recommended as a celebrant – and boy, are we glad she was! We had an initial consultation call with Miranda and both of us felt completely at ease and she got to know us just through a conversation (rather than dreaded “let me work through a list of questions”). However, the detail and care taken by Miranda from the off was incredible – and what surprised us most was that she was able to figure out and include was important to us without us saying it. She knew how much we valued it being a celebration of our friends and families supporting us, our beagle Albie being included, or even that we’re both incredibly competitive. As well as asking Miranda to be our celebrant, she kindly offered to be our MC, and we’re thrilled she did. Weddings rarely run as planned, but she was the one consistent thread that held the entire day together. Miranda also has that insane ability to make everybody relax and be their authentic selves – I have no idea how she does it, but she does. Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how our day felt so personal and “nothing could’ve summed us up better”. In the run up to the wedding we weren’t the most relaxed (think Anna Wintour the night before the Met Gala) but Miranda kept us calm and reminded us that getting married is a joy and that we should enjoy ourselves. On the day, apparently things didn’t go 100% to plan, but we, as a couple, never felt it – because Miranda was orchestrating everything behind the scenes and our day still delivered exactly what we were after. Honestly, we can’t recommend Miranda enough – our day wouldn’t have been “us” without her and she was there every step of the way – we had numerous zooms, we met at the venue, she even helped us get ready on our day! Our only regret is that we only heard about Miranda because we were getting married. Everybody needs a Miranda in their lives – she’s the biggest cheerleader, a great coach and a great leader and we’re thrilled to now be lucky enough to call her a friend.
Miranda is just simply the best! From the first moment we spoke, I knew that Miranda would be the perfect celebrant to deliver our ceremony. We initially went down the route of booking a registrar, but found out a couple of months before that we wouldn't actually be meeting or speaking to them before our ceremony, and it didn't quite sit well with what we had dreamed of. Miranda took the time to get to know us and understand our story, and in turn produced the most perfect wedding script. We wanted our ceremony to be fun, exciting and full of surprises, and that's exactly what it was (including the dramatic unplanned shower mid ceremony - thankfully we did have a canopy!) We had a handfasting, surprise ring bearers and a shot (or two) of tequila before tying the knot. Miranda supported us with writing our own vows which we loved reading to each other on the day. It was the best start to such a splendid day, we were on such a high following the ceremony, but we also felt so relaxed and at ease during the ceremony, it was just so magical! We didn't meet Miranda in person until the day of our wedding, but it honestly felt like we'd known each other for years. Miranda's warm, friendly, energetic personally is what makes her such an amazing celebrant, as well as her experience and exciting ideas. Thank you so much!
Book Miranda as your celebrant and you won't regret it! Miranda created the most beautiful, heartfelt, original ceremony as if by magic! She asks a few questions and it's like she's known us all our lives!!! The ceremony was the most magical and memorable part of our day and we loved it so much!
I can't even begin to express my gratitude and amazement for the hard work that Miranda did for our wedding. We live on the West Coast of the United States, and Miranda always met with us working around our schedules. She was patient, supportive, and gently nagging when needed. She made sure that every detail of our ceremony was what we wanted it to be, and encouraged us to remember that the ceremony was about us not everyone else. When we got overwhelmed she was there, when I completely forgot to order a thing she helped me sort it out. When we had issues with communication from the venue, Miranda was there to call them and ensure that everyone was on the same page. When we discovered that it was going to be a little warmer than comfortable in the ceremony space, Miranda ensured that there would be fans available for us so we didn't melt; she even let me borrow a fan for several hours after the ceremony ended! I can not express enough how wonderful it felt to have Miranda truly work to give us a ceremony and wedding day that reflected us as a couple. Thank you Miranda!
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding ceremony, all thanks to Miranda! From our very first call, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to get to know us. The ceremony she created was personal, fun, and full of thoughtful, unique touches. Our guests are still talking about it! Everyone loved the ring warming, the bucket list, and the surprise shots during the ceremony. So many people said it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever been to - fun, emotional, and anything but boring. Miranda went above and beyond, and even surprised us with a beautiful keepsake box including our vows, the script, and readings. Her energy and warmth were unforgettable, and we’re so grateful we found her. If you’re looking for a celebrant who truly cares and brings something special, Miranda is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!
We’re so happy we found Miranda for our wedding celebration! Even though we live in the US, and weren’t able to meet in person before the day of the wedding, from the first call we felt the warmth and care that would go into the ceremony. It turned into a fabulous occasion that really reflected us as a couple. Miranda was able to incorporate everything we wanted and created a truly special ceremony that felt warm, full of love, and had plenty of laughs. We really enjoyed the online meetings and the process of building the ceremony, too, with plenty of guidance when we needed it and all the time and care that went into making it feel perfect for us. She told our story wonderfully, made it feel light-hearted but with emotional, reflective moments, and left everyone glowing. Not having to stress about the ceremony on the day was also brilliant - Miranda co-ordinated in the background with our photographer and made sure everyone was happy with their part. It went off incredibly smoothly and was a great way to start the day - everyone was left with huge smiles. And my sister was so impressed that she immediately decided to book Miranda for her own wedding later in the summer! We really can’t recommend her enough, for everyone, and especially for LGBTQ+ weddings :)
We hired Miranda for our wedding vows in the summer of 2025 and we're blown away by her sheer professionalism and know how. It was such a weight of our minds to have Miranda every step of the way. In an area neither of us would have had much of an idea about previously, Miranda not only helped us write the vows but also became a fountain of knowledge on all things on the subject. We never doubted that the ceremony she planned would be anything less than fantastic, and it was even better than that. We could not recommend Miranda enough.
From our very first call with Miranda, we knew she was the perfect fit! She’s warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. We were planning a destination wedding in France, so choosing vendors can be stressful, especially when you’re looking for someone who is going to set the tone for such a special day. Best decision we made for the weekend was Miranda, hands down! She’s so charismatic and caring we just adore her. She took the time to get to know both of us individually and worked closely with us to tailor a heartfelt ceremony that was personal and completely true to who we are and our story. She also connected with our families the night before at the rehearsal, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was! Miranda is the reason our wedding day felt so special and we are endlessly grateful to her.
Miranda was a truly incredible celebrant and really made our ceremony (and the whole day) incredibly special! My husband and I were on the hunt for a celebrant who could create a ceremony that really reflected us and was able to include several more unusual traditions for his Norse Pagan faith. Miranda took everything in stride, taking time to research everything we discussed independently and showing real love, care and passion in the crafting of our ceremony. She made the process incredibly easy and low hassle, fitting around busy lives and schedules, giving us the best ceremony we could wish for! Several guests (including my mum who is a bit of a wedding connoisseur these days) came up to share how much they loved the ceremony. They were especially complementary of how well it fitted and reflected us as a couple and how engaging and interesting it was! Both Justin and I cannot recommend Miranda enough! If you are lucky enough to have her do your ceremony it will truly be one for the ages. Thank you again Miranda for all your hard work, we will definitely reach out next time we’re in the area to share some historical exploration!
We weren't originally planning on having a celebrant... But then we met Miranda by accident... And we're so glad we did! From the moment we started chatting to her we could tell that Miranda would fit into our alternative plans for our wedding and as time went on we realised how much she was going to bring to the metaphorical table. She created a fun and unique ceremony for us that flowed beautifully making our guests laugh and cry! The ceremony was based 100% around our own story, it was not a 'cut & paste' job. (Her methods of extracting information from us could be used by the CIA... A few emails and a fun relationship questionnaire and suddenly she knew everything about us!!) Miranda turned up early, communicated with our venue, photographer and more to plan not just the wording of the ceremony but to ensure that everything around the ceremony ran smoothly and integrated properly. We are very pleased with the amazing service she provided! Thank you Miranda!
We never wanted a traditional 'stuffy' ceremony but wasn't sure how we could legally get away with making it more fun. We met Miranda at a wedding fayre and she was the answer, and we're forever thankful that we met her. She made our ceremony so special and unique, with so many of our guests commenting on how different and fun it was. Most say it was the highlight of the day, and that's all thanks to Miranda. Miranda really took the time to get us know us, not only as a couple, but as individuals. She asked about our family heritage, hobbies and love story. From this, she was able to give lots of ideas of how we could make the ceremony personal to us. We had a friend write a poem and my Dad write some top tips for marriage. Miranda helped them both, proof reading and offering great suggestions. She also helped us write our own personal vows as we had no idea where to start. We were able to drink whisky from my family town in Scotland, something she suggested, and went down a treat as a cheers at the end of the ceremony. Not only did Miranda help and support us throughout, she put us at such ease, managing the whole ceremony and the lead up. We never had to chase her for anything or worry about things being done. My wife didn’t feel nervous on the day and I honestly think it was because of Miranda - we just knew it was going to brilliant with her running our ceremony. No nerves, just excitement, which is how all brides should feel on their wedding day.
When we first contacted Miranda we had no idea what was included in a celebrant’s remit. At most weddings we’ve been to in the past, the ceremony is the formality that you ‘get through’ to get to the party, but with Miranda, the ceremony was the start of the party! James and I both admitted early on that we struggle with ‘gushy lovey dovey stuff’ and we were very hesitant about using our own words and putting our own stamp on the ceremony. We are both so glad that Miranda encouraged us to write our own vows. It was the one time we really let each other know how we feel and we will remember those words forever (also because Miranda gifted us our ceremony script and vows). She was an absolute hit with our guests and we had so many wonderful comments about how fun and personal and ‘unapologetically us’ it felt. Many of our guests said how great it was hearing ‘our story’ and Miranda really took the time to get to know us and really tell it well. Would 100% recommend - Miranda is wonderful!
As soon as we met Miranda, I turned to my fiancé and said “we’ve got to have her!” and it was the best decision. From start to finish Miranda went above and beyond. I planned a surprise which she helped me deliver (even writing a second script so that my husband wouldn’t see the surprise!) From personalised gifts to personalising her attire in the ceremony to match our love story. Our ceremony was nothing like I’ve experienced before and all of our guests have since commented how creative and personal it was. Thank you Miranda, you’re a star!
Wow. Where do we even start? From the moment we met Miranda we were struck by her incredibly warm and bright energy. A celebrant makes your wedding so much more personal, and Miranda is an absolute expert. At every step, we felt so reassured that we had made the perfect choice. Miranda, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to make our day so amazing. It takes a truly special person to organise our two unique styles into something so cohesive and beautiful. Not only that, but despite having a far from traditional ceremony, all of our guests felt comfortable and entertained. Thank you for sorting through the pages of answers to your questionnaire and working with us to make the ceremony flow so seamlessly (and carrying on so professionally even when that arch fell over!) your good humour and excellent way of addressing crowds made everyone so much more at ease. The way you accommodated us when we needed to change certain aspects was wonderful. Your advice on the vows was so useful, and definitely came out in those unexpected happy tears on the day! So many people have commented on what a unique, magical ceremony we had, and who can blame them. You are an absolute delight and well deserving of your National Celebrant of the Year award! We will be forever grateful to your help and kindness that made our wedding dreams come true.
Miranda acted as celebrant for our wedding this summer at Chateau de Saint Martory, France. Throughout the whole planning process, Miranda was very enthusiastic and generous with her time. Ahead of the wedding, she travelled to London to meet with us in person, we had video calls, she joined us for the rehearsal in France, and we had lots of back and forth over email… Miranda’s attention to detail, helpfulness and thoughtfulness in the lead up to the event, on the day itself, and even afterwards can’t be faulted. She wrote the order of service for us, helped us choose the readings, wrote a personalised ceremony script, designed a bespoke marriage certificate, posted a lovely video/summary of the day on socials, and even sent us a Christmas present! She has tons of experience in weddings of all varieties, which was evident from some of the unique ideas and hints/tips she gave us, as well as her flexible, accommodating attitude. Miranda exudes warmth, confidence and energy, and brought all of this to our ceremony. Although we aren’t particularly religious, we wanted to keep the “sermon” fairly traditional, and Miranda achieved this with the eloquent script she wrote for us. However, she also managed to weave in some personal anecdotes and give it a heartfelt feel that resonated with friends/family. There were certainly a few tears shed that day! Miranda also helped enormously with the logistics, liaising with our wedding planner, florist, bridal party and string trio to ensure the ceremony went smoothly. Whilst very nervous, on the day we knew that everything was well and truly in hand! Our wedding day was very special, and we are delighted with how it went; the beautiful ceremony was a huge part of that. We couldn’t have done it without Miranda, and would thoroughly recommend her services to anyone planning a wedding!
Miranda was just fabulous! Our story, vows and ceremony, all of which were so precious to us were handled with such care and thoughtfulness. We got to know Miranda over the course of nearly a year in the run up to our wedding - we had zoom meetings, emails, and a delightful coffee meet up where it truly felt like meeting with a friend. We felt that our ceremony was one of, if not the most important parts of our day and we were so glad to have found Miranda who really got to know us as a couple, showed us what was possible and crafted a meaningful, touching, and FUN ceremony that she delivered beautifully and will stay with us always. We were supported to write our own vows, something my husband and I are so glad we did, and on the day itself Miranda was amazing - we both felt so well looked after and supported by her, she absolutely nailed the logistics and preparation side of things, as well as being fabulous at confetti/crowd control! We truly had "our day, our way" and thanks to Miranda who fully encourages and embraces this notion - we felt empowered and in very safe and capable hands! We not only have memories but thoughtful keepsakes to treasure for years to come - A million thank you's, Miranda!
It has been a pleasure working with Miranda on our wedding ceremony and would highly recommend her. We really enjoyed co-designing the day with her, she had some many great ideas and was really helpful in facilitating conversations between my wife and I to help us understand what we really wanted. The ceremony was really unique and beautiful. She has such wonderful attention to detail, from bringing small fans (it was a super hot on the day), to gifting us personalised hankerchiefs and even some treats for our cats in a post wedding box she sent over memories from the day. If you are looking for someone who loves their job, cares deeply about designing special moments, who is thoughtful, calm and incredibly competent, then look no further. On top of that she’s a really fun person with a bubbly personality with whom it was really nice to connect and spend time with outside of the work on the ceremony. Thank you so much Miranda! ☺️
We could not recommend Miranda more. We knew we wanted something different to the usual registrar route, someone that would bring pure joy to out day and Miranda did that and more. From start to finish Miranda was warm, kind and professional. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted it into the most beautiful and funny love story. She held our hand throughout the whole process, helping us to craft the perfect ceremony for us, helped us write our vows, plus so many other incredible wedding top tips!! On the day Miranda was simply a joy, we could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony. Even when the heavens opened miranda was quick on her feet to pivot the plan and make sure we did what we wanted to do before we got soaked! Thank you for making our day perfect Miranda!
There are not enough wonderful words in the world to describe Miranda herself and the work that she does. We met Miranda at a wedding fair and we knew nothing of Celebrants and the personalisation that they can bring but we thought we’d ask anyway and thank goodness we did. We just felt so comfortable around her and knew instantly that we wanted her involved. Miranda brought friendship, advice, professionalism, ideas, creativity, support and that was all outside of her actually writing and performing our ceremony. We cannot thank Miranda enough for the difference she made to our lives and our special wedding celebration. We thoroughly recommend getting in touch!
