Hello from Hand On Heart Celebrant, Debra Massey.

I love my job creating bespoke ceremonies filled with love, laughter and memorable moments for my clients!

In the lead-up to your wedding, I will meet you face to face, with no obligation, simply to listen to your dreams for your wedding ceremony and to see if I can help.

My background as a published author, experienced national public speaker, and qualified executive coach, mean the writing and presentation of your ceremony will be crafted to a high standard. As someone who was previously an award-winning primary teacher, I love including children as well as adult guest participation. From a selection of attached photos, you will see pets have also had starring roles.

Draft scripts, with support for vows and readings, as required, will be interwoven around your personal love story and preferences.

Many unity symbolic actions, such as handfasting, a leap of faith, and cocktail mixing, can also be included in your bespoke ceremony - to mention but three of endless possibilities! As well as being fully qualified as an Independent Civil Celebrant, therefore able to incorporate global influences, I am happy to include religious or non-religious content to encompass exciting and interesting enrichment opportunities for each ceremony.

Please have a look at my recent google reviews: https://g.co/kgs/NykaZEg

No two are the same, and no love story is a repeat of someone else's, so why wouldn't you want a personalised ceremony for the happiest day of your life?

Having already planned and executed weddings for brides and grooms including members of the LBGTQ+ community, I celebrate love in every form, wherever, whenever, and however your dream ceremony needs to be.

From an intimate forest setting for an elopement, to a remarriage to surprise unsuspecting guests, to fairy tale larger and more traditionally set weddings, your day can be your way, wherever and whenever you want it to happen.

If you have a large-scale event in a licensed setting or a rustic wedding in the countryside, have a look at the photos here to see what your Hand On Heart Celebrant can offer you on your day. I also have an outdoor wedding in the grounds of a villa for a summer wedding and another in a vineyard, already booked for 2025. I have excellent contacts with suppliers to meet your other needs if you are looking for inspiration.

Dream big - and do get in touch, as I would love to bring those dreams to a reality.

Let's chat further soon!
