Why choose you as a celebrant?

Have a look on google, and check out my reviews. These might help you decide. You are welcome to ring/message me for a chat. Warmth, compassion and making everyone feel at ease is my speciality. I'm resourceful and creative. This has proven to be very helpful on a big day, with lots of people. I'm confident in public speaking, something I've done for years. I'm a storyteller and love to create a ceremony that is about you two, and for your guests to enjoy. I LOVE my work and to celebrate love in this crazy world is a wonderful thing. My first step is always to listen carefully to what you have in mind. We will then work together to make your ceremony a reality, ensuring that nothing is forgotten. With your input, I will prepare a script that reflects the personalities, stories and beliefs of those involved, making adjustments until you are totally happy. I will be on hand to go through the plans in as much detail as you find helpful, and on the day will be prepared for every eventuality. I’ll arrive early in order to check practical arrangements, to greet you and to calm any last minute nerves. Most importantly, I will deliver your ceremony with sensitivity, care and warmth.

What kind of wedding do you want?

Do you want special elements included such as the old tradition of handfasting? A sand ceremony/jumping the broom/unity candle/ring blessing? I can tell you more about any of these. They are fun and can (if you wish) include other members of your family. You are free to choose whatever you wish. It's YOUR wedding and it's great if we can reflect this in your ceremony. Word, poems, music etc....let's celebrate your love for one another in the most ideal way.

Who are you, I'd like to know more....

I've been a Yoga & relaxation teacher for 23 years, which helps me to be calm & reassuring. I love being outdoors. Swimming in clean rivers, lakes and the sea, and discovering waterfalls fills me with joy. Dancing to disco music, rock, reggae & funk is uplifting. I care about our planet and do what I can to help make it a beautiful place to live. I am lucky to have a husband who makes the best hot chocolate and has a great vinyl collection. We have 3 (grown up) children - musician in Bristol / prop maker for Game of Thrones in London / Restaurant Manager in Raglan, NZ. My favourite car ever...was an old classic, a snowberry white Morris Minor which I could fix myself whenever it went wrong (which happened quite a lot). Most importantly, I'm kind....and I'll do what I can to help people.

Testimonials

Happiest day of my life - When people say your wedding is the happiest day of your life, that is absolutely true for me! Having Juli as our celebrant helped make that possible. I had complete and utter trust in her and felt at ease as she led us through a beautiful stress-free ceremony. Juli’s calm, composed and capable manner enabled us to take in all of the love that our 150 guests bestowed on us, a wonderful experience we shall never forget. I can wholeheartedly recommend Juli as our wishes were carried out in the most gorgeous ceremony that exceeded our expectations. It was such a special day that will not only stay with us forever but also with our family and friends.

UNFORGETTABLE DAY - Juli is a lovely combination of being warm, approachable and intuitive, but also efficient and well organised. After initially meeting us and listening to the type of ceremony we wanted, then emails and phone conversations, she spent a lot of time crafting a beautiful and very personal ceremony that suited us perfectly. Her attention to detail was really appreciated by us, our friends and family…

Michael & Stu

GREAT REVIEWS - We contacted Juli last year and after reading her reviews decided to hire her straight away. Her suggestions made the day very special and everyone LOVED it. All our guests said how fabulous the ceremony was. Thanks Juli.

Tim & Claire

JULI IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to work with! She puts a lot of time, care and love into the ceremonies that she creates. Truly one of a kind and genuinely lovely human being. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Erin & Simon

Juli made our wedding day amazing! She wrote us our own personalised ceremony - incorporating everything we'd asked for. Handfasting, jumping the broom, exchange of vows and rings. She was really supportive in helping us write our own vows and making sure the ceremony went exactly how we wanted it to. It's unlikely I'll get married again, which is a shame because I'd love to work with Juli again!!
