George M. Sent on 11/11/2024Would highly recomend to anyone on the look out for a celebrant
Janet made our day beautifully personal. She was lovely and engaging from our very first interaction. She sent us questionnaires to fill out, helping her learn a bit of our history and understand us as individuals. We received a rough draft of her speech in advance, allowing us to review and personalize it further if we wanted.
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!Janet Shell Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much for this review George and I think of your day with a smile on my face from the sheer joyfulness you exuded. And thank you for the recommendation x -

Absolutely Incredible
Janet Shell was incredible; she made our ceremony truly memorable. We had an interfaith ceremony held in Middle Temple garden, and Janet was the most amazing celebrant anyone could wish for. From the moment we met Janet, we were extremely excited for our ceremony. We wanted it to be personal but were also nervous about speaking in public, and she put us both at ease.
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.Janet Shell Ceremonies's reply:
I can be relied on for a good hymn! Or any singing in fact! It was a beautiful setting for your day and even the noisy crows could not drown us out! It really was a pleasure to be part of it and to set it all off. -

Janet Shell is the most splendid and delightful celebrant that anyone could possibly wish for. Janet's celebration of our wedding was absolutely superb! With her infectious charm, perfect recitation, and singing (we asked her to sing a song at the end - chef's kiss to her!), she made our wedding so very memorable.
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. -

She made our day
Janet was the celebrant at our wedding in November 2023. From the first meeting, which was arranged very quickly, Janet was warm, attentive and above all, understanding of all our needs.
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.
Hayley & Tom

Oh my goodness, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and lovely review! I still hold that day in my heart and it was so special being on the water with you and all your guests. Amazing to watch London go past. You were such a natural and easy couple to work with and I just knew it was going to be a beautiful event. I really loved every moment; moored up by Tower Bridge was so incredible! It is the most unusual venue I have done so far, and I feel super lucky to have had the opportunity. -

Sj P Sent on 31/10/2023Incredible, personal, and so understanding
Janet was so kind and flexible during the writing process for our ceremony. We loved her questionnaire used to help create our ceremony, and had so much fun filing it out as it gave us time to reflect and share our genuine thoughts and experiences together as a couple. Throughout the entire experience, she was available if we needed, made adjustments where asked, and overall created an excellent ceremony that flowed so beautifully and allowed us such an incredible space to share our vows and stories with all our friends and family. If we had to do it all over, we would definitely trust Janet to help us again.Janet Shell Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much for this heartfelt review. I really enjoyed working with you and your responses to the questionnaire were really helpful and well considered which made my job a lot easier! I am sending you both all the happiness you so richly deserve. -

Fantastic Celebrant
Janet was fantastic, she was the perfect person to do our ceremony in the back garden. Janet was very warm, had great vibes (Which we picked up when we first met on video chat) and took everything in her stride (Even the slightly chaotic last minute changes!). She provided us with a few drafts and adapted to every change we made.
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!Janet Shell Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you for the review and the experience, even if I did end up leaving my ceremonly folder with you! It was such an intmate and beautiful setting and I enjoyed creating something for you and your guests. I learnt things too about the Quaich, somethign to take forward. Loved it. Thank you for being so chilled and accommodating. -

Extremely intimate and exactly what we wanted
From the moment we met Janet at a wedding fair, we clicked and felt extremely at home with her. Janet was welcoming, warm and very approachable for the entire journey. We truly believe that our ceremony was perfect thanks to Janet. We will always have a special place in our hearts for Janet and the beautiful ceremony she helped create for us.Janet Shell Ceremonies's reply:
I can still see you talking with me at the Fair, hoping you would pick me! I am only as good as the information my couples give me, so your kind words have touched me. Thank you so much and I wish you every possible bit of good luck as you step into your future x -
