A celebrant to celebrate

Jane was an absolute joy to work with throughout both the preparation and the day. She was happy to go along and accommodate our quirky ideas to make our ceremony totally us. She made us and our guests at ease and cherished throughout. Our day genuinely couldn’t have been any better and Jane was instrumental to this.

Our perfect October wedding with Jane!

Jane was warm, charismatic, genuine and we genuinely could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant for our wedding. She handcrafted the most magical ceremony for us and helped put our minds at ease from the moment we met her. Jane’s passion for what she does is clear to see in every detail of what she does. We will cherish the memories of our wedding ceremony until the end of time. Thank you Jane for being so amazing!

Best Celebrant ever!

We knew we had found the right Celebrant from the moment we met Jane. Her warmth and enthusiasm shone through and we immediately felt we were in safe hands. The whole process was seamless, as Jane guided us through, carefully listening to us and helping us with every detail. We had so many compliments about the ceremony on our Wedding day and we will be forever grateful to Jane for everything she did for us. Her enthusiasm and passion for her work is obvious for all to see and she made our day truly memorable.

The Perfect Celebrant!

Jane was the perfect celebrant … friendly, fun, flexible, helpful, professional … not enough superlatives for such a lovely lady. She felt like a friend by the end of it all! A wonderful experience dealing with her. She made us feel like the only couple in the world. She was made for this ‘job’. I highly recommend Jane. A warm and kind human.

Bury Manor Barn - May 2023

Jane did such an amazing job during our wedding ceremony! Having met her a few months before our big day, she very effectively captured our story and personalities with humour and emotion (working with us to create the script). She worked so hard in the lead-up, had plenty of excellent ideas for an interactive ceremony, expertly weaved in our readings and live music and really caught everyone’s attention, with many guests describing it as the best and most personable wedding ceremony that they had attended! Jane had our guests (and us) laughing, crying and cheering throughout. We would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking to for a personal and totally unique wedding! It was one of the best decisions we made. Thank you so much!

Jane is fantastic!!

Jane made our wedding ceremony truly special and unique, it was the perfect start to our wedding day. Jane is a true professional, from the very start of our journey together she always replied quickly to any emails or queries- including whilst she was on holiday! She crafted the most beautiful ceremony for us and we had so many comments from our wedding guests that they had never seen a ceremony like it! We recently received our wedding video and it was amazing to be able to re-live our day again, especially the ceremony of which Jane was such an integral part. We can’t thank her enough!!

The Celebrant who listens!

Jane was recommended to us by a work colleague and she lived up to her great reputation. Jane really took the time to sit down with us and get to know us as individuals and a couple. She helped tailor our wedding ceremony so that it was a unique experience and one which set the tone for the rest of the day. We had many, many compliments on the service and the relaxed/informal nature of it.

Jane helped put us at ease, particularly my husband who was nervous of standing up in front of the group. Jane ensured that we had plenty of time to agree and tweak the wording she'd written (beautifully) so we knew we had the perfect ceremony. It's lovely to have a copy of all the wording presented to us, to keep and treasure too.

If you're looking for a humanist ceremony and someone to ensure it reflects you both, your family, friends and life together then Jane is the one to choose! We can't thank her enough.

Beautiful experience!

Me and my husband Jon knew we didn't want a 'normal' ceremony and wanted it to 1. feel more personal to us and 2. to have somebody who felt like a friend reading our ceremony and not just somebody reading off a generic script! This is when we found Jane!

We had such a lovely meeting with Jane and it instantly felt right the decision we had made! She was so warm and welcoming and understood exactly what we were after, but also gave us advise on things we hadn't thought about to make it even more special! ( and they did! )

We had such an amazing experience and still a few months after our wedding do I think about that moment! It was perfect and one of my favourite parts of our day! I love we have the script to look back on in years to come!

We built really strong relationships with a couple of our suppliers and Jane was certainly one of them! :)

A Woodland Wedding

We decided to get married in our family woodland in nature surrounded by our animals and family!

We wanted a celebrant who would embrace and enjoy this idea and Jane was the perfect person

From day one of meeting her we knew she was the one! The wedding was perfect and Jane totally made the day for us

So special and would highly recommend

Wonderful wedding celebrant!

Jane was brilliant for our wedding ceremony. The months before she was really engaged and organised. She made the process much easier and helped us decide on the perfect ceremony. She gave us clear timelines and gently reminded us when we were behind on doing our parts, which was really helpful to keep us organised! We felt really comfortable with her and she really understood our relationship. On the day itself Jane was brilliant. She helped organise guests, got the ceremony room ready and prepared groomsmen, bridesmaids and the father of the bride. We had a great time at the ceremony. Jane delivered everything with just the right emotion and kept things interesting and fun. We felt it was exactly what we wanted. There were many happy tears from the guests and many complimented us on a beautiful, unique and personal ceremony.

Jane is a wonderful celebrant, tailored our ceremony beautifully!

Working with Jane was a wonderful experience from the very beginning! She tailored our ceremony beautifully and started our wedding day in the most warm and memorable day, which all our guests commented on. The ceremony was personal and witty and filled with love, and the hand fasting was a fun and memorable moment, fully involving our nearest and dearest!

Made our wedding pure perfection

What can I say about Jane. There will never be enough words to thank you!

You made the most gorgeous, personal ceremony for us that we will never forget. It felt like being married by a close friend. We loved getting to know you during the wedding planning process. I couldn't have imagined doing it without you!

Everyone commented on how magical they found the experience, especially as so many were new to a humanist wedding ceremony - and everyone loved the hand fastening!

If you are wanting an intimate wedding celebration - look no further than Jane. She creates things of beauty.

Jane - you really are the best.

Jane Blackman

Jane was absolutely superb. She took a part of the wedding we were thinking about glossing over and playing down and worked with us to make it the highlight of the day!
