Last update: August 2024

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at our Celebrants page for South Downs Celebrants. We are Amanda & Corrine, two professionally trained Civil Celebrants, based in Worthing. West Sussex. We love looking after our coules, getting to know all about you, and bringing your stories to life throughout your wedding ceremony. Bringing a wealth of people skills to the role both Amanda and Corrine specialise in excellent customer service.

We would love to get to know you, hear all about you as a couple, help you build and compose your love story to ensure that your wedding starts with amazing celebrations. A bespoke personalised service, written just for you. There are no boundaries or restrictions for a celebrant led service, it truly is all about you.

The benefits of choosing a Celebrant are many. A Celebrant brings individuality; we are lucky, we get to know our couples and invest time into writing a bespoke service just for them. We aren't rushing off to be somewhere else. Each ceremony is personal to the couple, it’s not an 'insert name here' template of a ceremony. We get to know you, understand your vision and values, and we want to give you a unique, personal experience. During your service you will sign a commemorative certificate that you can be photographed with as you complete it, so your service flows.

Most couples consider the day they host their celebrant ceremony and reception to be their "official" wedding day, not the day of the formal registration, which is a legality. If you were to compare the birth of a baby and going to the registry office, you would then register the birth of the baby’s name. You wouldn’t however take with you your family and friends; you would hold a baby naming ceremony or a christening on a separate date in a location of your choosing.

It is the same with a wedding, why not register your marriage and then celebrate your wedding day how and when you would like it to be, with complete freedom of choice.

Registrars do an amazing job with all the legality, but we do the story telling, we bring laughter and joy, making your ceremony all about you.

The most fun day we’ve ever had!

Amanda was the most professional, helpful and kindest person. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to have performed our ceremony.

The little touches like the love story was my favourite. It was such a personal touch that I didn’t think would get to me but needless to say I was in floods at the end of the aisle!

If I could do it all again tomorrow with her I would be there in a flash! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough! And she takes some cracking photos!

A flawless experience

Amanda is absolutely fantastic on all accounts! She took the time to really get to know us as we were planning our wedding. She made us feel comfortable and guided us through the process amazingly. It was so special to have her read out our love story during our celebrant ceremony which was tailored to us perfectly. There were plenty of happy tears and our guests commented on how special and memorable it was. Thank you Amanda for you and your fabulous team! Would highly recommend South Down Celebrants.

Beautiful experience

Amanda from the first moment we met her, to us saying I do, was nothing short of amazing. She guided us through the whole process with kindness and a quiet calmness. We were in constant contact and she reassured us when needed and gave wise words at every point. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Incredible celebrant led ceremony for our vow renewal.

Amanda at Southdowns celebrants gave us the most personal and heart touching ceremony to renew our wedding vows.
The attention to detail in the words she chose and quotes to our favourite things were second to none, as well as her reassurance, assistance and support leading up to the day.
If we had to go back and re plan our day I would choose Amanda again and again.
Thank you so much for the most beautiful service.

Thank you for our lovely ceremony!

Amanda was our celebrant for our 2nd November wedding. We decided to have a celebrant ceremony as this helped to save on costs of a registrar, which we all know every penny helps when paying for a wedding! We were completely unaware of what a celebrant was and did, but Amanda spoke us through this over two years ago when we initially booked and helped us feel reassured that this was the right decision for us.

We had a lovely meeting a few months prior to the wedding where we reminisced on our story to date and Amanda listened intently. When writing our script for the ceremony, Amanda consulted with us multiple times to check we were happy with what was written and that she had understood correctly.

Amanda was always efficient, she would reply to our messages very quickly and if any changes were needed, she would make these straight away and send back to us. We always felt in good hands.

Amanda tailors her script entirely to the couple. We were really clear we did not want anything ‘cheesy’ and she completely respected this. She also suggested we took a shot during our ceremony, which as a couple in their mid 20s we loved this idea - and our guests really liked this aspect too.

We loved our ceremony and we look back with really fond memories. It was so special and personal.

We really highly recommend a celebrant ceremony, and especially having Amanda to lead x

Perfection

Amanda was informative, helpful, professional, fun and she shows a genuine interest in you and your special day. We were listened to all the way and our day was made specific to us and got exactly what we wanted. She also shared ideas for us to use and was on hand for any questions. She made our ceremony perfect. You can see she has a lot of passion and experience, knows exactly what she is doing, we trusted her 100%. We would recommend her to everyone.

Amanda Mills

Amanda Mills is the most amazing lady. Her professionalism, her enthusiasm, attention to detail and most of all her wicked sense of humour makes you feel at ease leading up to and during your wedding day. Brett and I could not have wanted for anything more on the day.

Our truly magical day

We had the absolute pleasure of having Amanda as the celebrant for our wedding, and I can’t put into words how grateful we are. Amanda played a huge part in making our day truly magical, the day I’ve dreamed of since I was a young girl. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for our love story shone through every moment of the ceremony.
From the first meeting, Amanda took the time to get to know us, making sure that our ceremony was personal and unique to us. She crafted a ceremony that was not only beautiful and heartfelt but also reflected who we are as a couple. Her delivery was flawless, and she had everyone engaged, laughing and tearing up in all the right moments.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who will make your wedding day everything you’ve ever dreamed of, look no further than Amanda. She truly made our day the best day of our lives, and we will forever cherish the memories she helped create.
Thank you Amanda for making our dream wedding come true.

An Unforgettable, Intimate Ceremony Made Perfect by Amanda's Professionalism and Warmth

Amanda was our celebrant for our elopement ceremony on the beach in Goring (West Sussex), and we can't praise her enough for her professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness. She made us feel like the most important couple in the world. Amanda took the time to meet with us, ask questions, and help us determine our needs and wants for the ceremony. She put so much time and effort into getting to know us and our love story, making our ceremony truly unique and special.

If you want someone who will take care of all your worries and solve any problems that arise, Amanda is your person. Our ceremony was wonderful, very intimate, and personal thanks to her. Her great sense of humour helped us relax and enjoy our special moment even more. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to lead our wedding. Thank you, Amanda, for making our day unforgettable!

Mr Matthew Field

Amanda was the glue that held everything together!

Being two busy working parents we were determined all would be sorted by Christmas. Come April we still had a few things outstanding but Amanda was ever present.
Amanda wrote the most amazing script for the ceremony that truly reflected our outlook and involved our children which was important to us both.
Thank you Amanda for such an amazing day.

We cannot recommend Amanda highly enough she prides herself in providing a highly personalised service.

The most amazing day

Amanda made our wedding ceremony. It was full of laughs and she made it personal to our journey. She checked with us every step of the way that we were happy with the script and helped us find perfect readings, handfasting ribbons, quotes from our chosen theme and gave everyone lots of laughs. We couldn't have asked for a more devoted celebrant to truly making the ceremony the best it could be.

And just to add, if she asks you to Bury a sausage in the garden to bring sunshine your special day, do it, because it works!!

Thankyou Amanda and the whole team for giving us the best day ❤️

Absolutely Fantastic, Can't Fault South Down Celebrants!

We had the most amazing Vow Renewal ceremony with Amanda. We had got married during COVID, with a very limited audience and the bare minimum ceremony and we really wanted to capture some of what we'd missed out on first time around. Amanda completely got the brief and helped create such a bespoke ceremony and love story for us. She created a hybrid vow renewal that focused more on blessing our love and journey so far and less on the longevity of the marriage as per a traditional vow renewal service. She was very attentive and always quick to respond to questions and queries. She provided great suggestions and advice without ever pushing anything on us. She was professional, friendly, committed and a joy to work with. Would highly recommend South Down Celebrants

One of a kind

We could not been happier for choosing Field place Manor House and barns for our wedding day.
We started looking for a venue 1.5 years before our wedding as we wanted it to be exactly as we had in mind.
I must confess that when we saw Field place we fall in love with it. After meeting Amanda and the team we knew that this is it! The venue itself is very beautiful, well taken care of and even though it’s in town, it feels like you are in countryside, because of the huge beautiful gardens and trees, plus the rustic barns and the historic Manor House, makes it the perfect place for photos. Most of our guest traveled from Greece for our wedding, so we wanted to give them something unique and field place was the place to be!
Moreover, we were thrilled about the care and support that we had from everyone involved from day one. Amanda, the venue manager, as well as our celebrant, wanted to make sure that everything will be exactly as we hoped, and it was indeed. We can’t thank her enough for the detail in planning, professionalism and commitment to the project, as well as her support and understanding! We were also able to have our dog with us and make him part of our day that made us even happier! The providers that work with Field place are also great professionals that exceeded our expectations and all made sure that our day will be smooth, stress free and enjoyable for us! On the actual day, everything was spot on, no delays or things going wrong! This way we end up having the best day ever, as well as our guest that were amazed from the experience they had.
Finally, pricing was very reasonable that made us even happier so we were able to add more things to our day that we really wanted to have so we can make the day exactly as we wanted!!
Overall, pleasant, fun and enjoyable experience working with all these people, that actually listened and appreciated our vision!!
Amanda, Emma, Dean, Sophie, Amanda, joanne, Jez thank you for all the happy memories you created for us, could not have been more grateful!!

All the best,
Nik and Alex
