It's difficult to put into words how amazing Eleanor was and the lasting impact she's had on our marriage. She was the first celebrant we spoke to when we initially decided to choose a celebrant for our ceremony and within 5 minutes of speaking to her, our minds were made up! During the free initial consultation, Eleanor gave us a whole hour of her time and talked us through the services she provided, taking the time to get to know us and answering all of our questions. This was all done with a calm, humorous and reassuring manner - it was like talking to a best friend! We felt that Eleanor really got 'us' as a couple even from that first meeting and she had so many amazing ideas of how we could incorporate some more traditional wedding elements into a ceremony that we really wanted to be done in our own unique way. We left the conversation buzzing with energy and excitement knowing that we'd found *the person* to tell our story.

Over the next few months, Eleanor checked in with us regularly and helped us create a beautiful, personal ceremony that featured everything we could have dreamed and hoped for. Even though we live outside of the UK with a 7 hour time difference, she made a huge effort to accommodate us. When we were back in the UK, we had the chance to meet up with her in person to catch up on the ceremony and discuss next steps. At no point did we feel that she was taking over or making decisions on our behalf, but when we were stuck for ideas she gave helpful suggestions of what we could do to make things even more special. There was a very close family bereavement a few months away from the wedding and throughout this difficult time Eleanor was extremely calm and sensitive to our needs and supported us to make some changes to our ceremony script to incorporate a very moving tribute. Eleanor was also incredibly neuro-affirming throughout and we would recommend her to any ND couples looking for a celebrant.

Eleanor wrote a beautiful ceremony that included ring warming, candle lighting, readings, book exchange and a live performance from one of the bridesmaids - all themed around our favourite books and video games. The script perfectly captured our feelings for each other as well as the history of our relationship - which many of our UK based close friends and family don't know very well as we met right before covid and live in Asia. Our guests were completely bowled over by how intimate, funny and emotional the ceremony was (there were lots of happy tears!). Many of our guests had not been to a celebrant-led ceremony before, but all spoke passionately about this being a huge highlight of the day.

At the heart of this was all Eleanor - the most incredible human inside and out with an unrivalled talent for turning your love story into a beautiful ceremony. She genuinely cared deeply for us as a couple and that really shone through before, during and after the ceremony. There were also plenty of gorgeous personal touches such as little gifts during the planning process and the post-wedding delivery too! We could not have imagined a more wonderful person to tell our story and host our ceremony and cannot say thank you enough. We feel so lucky to have found Eleanor and feel like we've made a friend for life. We would recommend Eleanor to anyone looking to create an intimate, personalised experience for their special day.

Eleanor was our wedding celebrant in July and she created such a beautiful, personal and unique ceremony. Even better than we could have ever imagined!

We knew from the very first phone call with Eleanor that she was exactly the right fit for us - she's so warm, friendly, open and full of joy. Initially, we didn't really know what we wanted from the ceremony but Eleanor helped us every step of the way, making sure that we felt fully comfortable with every decision we made.

We met her for a coffee a few months before the wedding and she even came along to our rehearsals to make sure everything ran smoothly.

We honestly can't thank her enough for everything she did to make our wedding day so special and personal. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was - she captured our relationship and story so perfectly.

I would absolutely recommend working with Eleanor, she is truly brilliant!

We honestly can't put into words how grateful we are to Eleanor for all the hard work she put into our day. In the whole nine months of stress and worry, our time with Eleanor was the only thing that brought us back to the reason we were doing it. She is such a reassuring, encouraging and supportive presence in the run up and having her waiting for us at the end of the aisle was like reuniting with an old friend. Honestly, asking Eleanor to join our team was one of the best decisions we made.

What can we say about Eleanor… she gave us the most perfect ceremony we could have asked for. We were looking for a celebrant who could give us a very personal and uplifting ceremony, and we ended up making a friend who dedicated so much time to helping us plan the perfect ceremony. From all the zoom calls to the day itself, we always felt comfortable and at ease, and full of confidence that she was going to deliver everything we wanted and more.

All our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was, and we found the planning of it the most enjoyable part of the whole wedding planning process. Eleanor is a great person and an even better celebrant and we couldn't recommend her any more!

Eleanor did an incredible job leading our wedding ceremony, going above and beyond in every way.

Over the twelve months leading up to our ceremony, Eleanor made a big effort to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. She got a real sense of who we are and crafted the ideal wedding ceremony for us, offering to make changes until it was perfect. She really felt like a teammate and was a constant source of warmth, encouragement and positivity through the hectic ride of planning & organising. If you want someone genuine, warm and soulful, you could not pick a better celebrant. Thank you Eleanor!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Eleanor conduct our vow renewal - we had a covid wedding, so this was our big do – and she was just perfection. The ceremony was so personal and just beautiful. Eleanor is so warm and kind and is a natural. Everyone who attended was gushing about the ceremony, how personal and warm it was. Eleanor did our handfasting so well too, she gave us some options and guidance which we are very grateful for! We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you!

My husband and I are so happy that we chose to work with Eleanor. It just took so much pressure off us, having someone experienced and wonderfully creative to guide us through our ceremony. Deciding what to put in your ceremony and what to say is harder than it looks and Eleanor just made it all so easy and came up with ideas that we would never have thought of! We really felt like she took the time to get to know us as a couple so our ceremony felt totally unique to us. I would recommended Eleanor to any couple looking to tie the knot, she is an absolute gem!
