LOOK NO FURTHER! And here's why!
I'm Janet and I work across the Southeast (and equally happy to travel further afield) and am at your service to discuss your dream wedding ceremony.
I am here to answer any questions and help you make those decisions about that important day! It is all about your experience and that of your guests, so my role is to create something memorable and then take you and your guests seamlessly through a heartfelt and meaningful ceremony, delivered in a natural and easy way that doesn't sound like I am reading a script!
What do I bring to this job? Well, my background as a teacher turned professional opera singer, means I have years of experience of making connections with people in a public setting.I am really comfortable and adept in front of any number of people and also in pressured situations. (You don't get much more pressure than singing in front of Royalty or live broadcasting!).
I love learning about YOU and your story and you will always have the opportunity to revise different versions of my script until you are happy, so you retain control. My calm and unflustered voice is nealry always commented upon. (I even sent a child to sleep in a ceremony once, much to the mother's delight!) and my writing has been honed over the years. I work at it so it flows like an enhanced version of natural speech.
If you are looking for somebody who is with you every step of the way and who works with couples to create a joyful and heartfelt ceremony, then please get in touch! Your day is really important to me so that it is remembered for the joyful celebration that it is!
I am LGBTQ+ friendly and a woman owned business.

Queen of Ceremonies!
Janet Made Our Wedding Unforgettable
Our initial meeting with Janet was fantastic; she took the time to explain every aspect of her service in detail, making us feel immediately at ease. Throughout the planning process, Janet was incredibly attentive, taking the time to get to know us as a couple. Her thoughtful questions and genuine interest in our story helped her craft a ceremony that truly reflected who we are.
Janet guided us through every step, simplifying the process and removing much of the stress that can come with planning a wedding ceremony. Her professionalism, warmth, and experience shone through every interaction.
On the day itself, Janet delivered a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony that exceeded our expectations. It was a complete success, and we are so glad we made the decision to work with her.
We highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a celebrant who is passionate, dedicated, and truly invested in making your special day unforgettable.
Our story, magical special day.
My husband and I aren’t centre of attention people, funny us getting married and we had quite a lot of people at the wedding! Janet made things super easy and less nerve wrecking by sending us a simple questionnaire which we filled out to help her understand our story which she compiled into a beautiful ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony was heartwarming and personal and Janet even added a story that she had asked if we wouldnt mind her adding at the end, we surprisingly related to this story really personally (Dino arms - if you remember Janet haha!).
We had so many of our guests say how wonderful Janet was with putting our love and story into words. We were so overjoyed with Janet and are grateful that she was able to give us a forever memory on the best day of our lives. Thank you so much Janet and we would recommend you to anyone who is getting married!!
Would highly recomend to anyone on the look out for a celebrant
She held back a few details, so we enjoyed some really sweet surprises on the day, which we loved (though if you’d prefer all the information upfront, she’s happy to share it). Janet was a joy on the day, and the ceremony went beautifully. We’ve received so many compliments, with guests saying it was the most personal ceremony they’d ever attended.
We would recommend Janet in a heartbeat. She’s amazing, and we hope you have her on your special day too!
Amazing and magnificent!
My wife and I sincerely recommend her without hesitation! She was so wonderful, in fact, that one would almost want to renew vows annually with Janet.
Incredible, personal, and so understanding
Great celebrant
So beautiful and calm
Absolutely Incredible
Janet made our ceremony fun and personal, and we would have been lost without her leading the way in our hymn. She went above and beyond; we had briefly met the composer who wrote the song I walked down the aisle to in an airport, and Janet even managed to get a beautiful message from him. Janet also helped us write our vows and my husband’s speech, which made the day even more special. We feel so lucky to have had Janet lead our day and would highly recommend her. She was wonderful and made our day perfect.
She made our day
Janet perfectly captured our relationship and delicately addressed the losses we had recently faced with ease.
The service Janet delivered was a true reflection of not just our love but also the love we shared with our guests. It was incredibly personalised and held everyone’s attention. Not to mention very funny in parts!
Janet’s interaction with the guests was wonderful and made everyone feel included.
Janet took time to research and elaborate on things we had mentioned were special to us. She went above and beyond to tailor our ceremony.
We married onboard a boat on the Thames and Janet attended without any fuss or issue. The whole journey with Janet from start to finish was smooth sailing (no pun intended!).
A huge hit with our guests, a warm, caring, understanding and vibrant lady. Janet made our day and we’ll be forever thankful.
We can’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic Celebrant
The ceremony was very in depth, a mix of humorous and emotional, everyone came away enlightened about not only the handfasting and drinking from a Quaich but also Andy & I as people. Janet really bought it together very well. Everyone who came commented that they really enjoyed the whole service. Thank you very much!
Extremely intimate and exactly what we wanted
