Kerrie is a truly exceptional celebrant.

Kerrie is a truly exceptional celebrant. We got married in September in Carlisle. We've both been to lots of weddings in the past, and generally, while its always lovely to see friends get married, the ceremony itself is usually the least favourite part as it can be preachy or a little dull. Ours however, was absolutely incredible and it's all thanks to Kerrie.

We wanted something that was personal to us and that felt special, and Kerrie more than delivered that for us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple. She listened, offered her expert advice and planned something so special that it blew us away. She is so warm, kind, understanding and so easy to talk to. She just gets it, and she's brilliant.

All of our guests were raving about the ceremony. My cousin said it was the most honest and beautiful ceremony she'd ever been to. One friend messaged us days later to say that he'd been "really affected" by our wedding. It set the tone for the entire day, which was the most incredible and special day of our lives.

Thank you so much to Kerrie for making our wedding so special. We'll hold the memory of it in our hearts forever. It wouldn't have been the same without Kerrie, so thank goodness that we found her. We are so grateful!

Kerrie made our day so incredibly special!

We are beyond grateful to have had Kerrie as our wedding celebrant! From the very beginning, she was nothing short of amazing. Her warm and personable approach set the tone for what turned out to be a truly magical day.

All our guests couldn’t stop raving about how special, personal, and unique our ceremony was; many remarked that they had never experienced anything like it! Kerrie has a remarkable gift for weaving together individual stories and emotions, and she certainly made our day unforgettable.

In an incredibly touching gesture, Kerrie took the time to amend our ceremony to honour my husband’s late father, who had passed away just before our wedding. The tribute was heartfelt and beautifully integrated, and it brought many to tears. It was a poignant reminder of love and loss that made the day even more meaningful for everyone present.

Kerrie’s professionalism and dedication were evident as she liaised with all our other vendors in the lead-up to the wedding. She ensured that everyone was aligned with the program, which made the flow of the day seamless. I was also particularly impressed with how she coordinated with the florist and stylist to dress in colours that matched our wedding theme—such a thoughtful touch that showed her attention to detail!

On the morning of the wedding, Kerrie arrived early and spent valuable time with me and my bridesmaids, making everyone feel comfortable and familiar with her presence. She was equally attentive to the groom’s party, checking in regularly to reassure me that everything was in hand, especially after they had a late-night prior. Her calm demeanour truly put everyone at ease.

One of the best parts of working with Kerrie was her ability to incorporate unique elements into the ceremony that resonated with us as a couple. As we live just 10 minutes away, she kindly visited our home a couple of days before the big day for a brief walk-through, which was incredibly helpful.

We chose not to read Kerrie’s script or words beforehand, wanting to preserve the surprise and capture our genuine reactions during the ceremony. We discussed what we wanted to include and provided her with some readings, and I can honestly say she exceeded all our expectations. The ceremony was brimming with love, tears, and laughter!

Overall, Kerrie made our wedding ceremony a beautiful, intimate, and unforgettable experience. Her warmth, professionalism, and personal touch were everything we could have hoped for and more. If you are considering a celebrant for your special day, do not hesitate to choose Kerrie! She will bring your vision to life with grace and love. Thank you, Kerrie, for making our day so incredibly special! x

Amazing Experience!

Kerrie was absolutely amazing. She made our wedding so special and everyone commented on how personal she was and she made it so lovely for us.
She's such a nice person who done everything possible to reflect our relationship, adding humour which we absolutely loved. She even done a personalised poem!
All my guests said it was the best service they've ever experienced.
In the morning she came to speak to both me and my husband and made us feel so at ease, she even managed to calm the wedding nerves.
Kerrie is beautiful inside and out, we couldn't recommend her enough.

A wonderful celebrant to work with!

Kerrie came as a recommendation from the beautiful Casterton Grange Estate and we are so glad that we chose her as our Celebrant!

From our first initial introductory call, we instantly knew that Kerrie was a good fit for us and we instantly felt a connection with her! She brings a lot of experience to the table and also such a wonderful sunny energy, with plenty of passion about what she does.

From beginning to end, Kerrie was on hand to answer any of our questions and gave us plenty of ideas to consider as to how we could personalise our wedding ceremony.

She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and captured the essence of us so well! Kerrie even wrote us a heartwarming poem about our love story which we were super delighted with!

On the day, Kerrie really helped make our ceremony go smoothly - it was beautifully delivered and felt so magical - we will really cherish the moment forever!

She also helped us organise an epic confetti throw, which gave us some incredible photos to share!

We can’t thank Kerrie enough for her hard work and highly recommend her - she will really be able to help make your wedding vision come to life! We wish Kerrie every success in her work as she really deserves it!

Sentimental, thoughtful and the kindest soul

From the first moment we saw Kerrie's page. We instantly felt at ease and knew she was the one we wanted to deliver our special ceremony. We had a lot of sentimental touches that we wanted to be included in our wedding ceremony and Kerrie made them possible. Throughout the whole process Kerrie made us feel reassured, listened too and gave some great advice on what would make it a wonderful ceremony. There are lots of celebrants out there but Kerrie just makes you feel special, she has the most beautiful soul and throughout it all it didn't just feel like a stranger you were talking too but the feeling like she was apart of your family and friends and you have known her for years. Kerrie made sure that we had chance to check the ceremony prior to the day and make any tweaks we wanted to the script. Even little touches on the wedding day itself, from giving the grooms mum a fan when she was having a hot flush, providing tissues and just getting stuck in. She is so very talented and created lots of little personal poems for our bridal party during the ceremony which brought them all to tears and is still talked about regularly by our guests. Many of our guests have openly said it was the best ceremony they had been too because it was just simply 'us' and so personal to us, and we have Kerrie to thank for that.

Fantastic , thoughtful & kind

Kerrie is nothing short of amazing. She conducted our vow renewal ceremony and it was a thoroughly special experience. Kerrie was very kind, a total professional. We had our 4 kids with us and Kerrie worked really hard to include the children in our ceremony which was very special for us. We would recommend Kerrie for your special occasion x

Amazing ceremony - Thank you Kerrie

Kerrie was incredible to work with right from the start! We had an initial zoom call where she found out all about us and what was important to us. As the months went by she found out more about us both so that she could tailor our ceremony perfectly to us and our family. She included our children and really made them feel part of everything which was really important to us. I would 100% recommend having a celebrant led service and we received so many compliments about how incredibly unique and special our service was. We had lots of people in tears and full of love and emotion because Kerrie made everything so special for us. Thank you Kerrie…you really made our day so special.

Thank you for everything!

Well, where do I even begin to Thank Kerrie.

Our journey started in Dubai back in 2019, where we instantly knew that Kerrie was “the one” she was warm, compassionate, honest and the best thing ever, she was Northern!

March 2020, 5 days before we were due to get married, pandemic struck all events cancelled. We were devastated, kerrie was our rock and couldn’t have been a better support and a friend during that time.

Fast forward 2 years of where/when/how conversations.. We decided to go for it and booked a wedding back home in the North east in 6 weeks time and could you believe it, Kerrie could do it for us! We were thrilled.

Amazing doesn’t cut, she took so mucj time with Aidan and I. Met us separately, together and communicated at each step. Kerrie even called our parents to get the whole picture of us, she goes the extra mile.. She really cares about people and its shines.

Our ceremony in February was more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. All our guests talked about was “the service” so personal, so unique and so us! Geordie and Scottish traditions brought together.

My Grandparents said never in their 85 years on earth have they witnessed something so beautiful and personal.

Thank you Kerrie for EVERYTHING!

I can’t recommend this lady enough. We are so grateful ♥️

We cannot thank Kerrie enough for the beautiful ceremony she composed for us - it was everything we wanted and more, we honestly couldn't be happier 🥰 The blend of humour and emotion was exactly what we wanted and she managed to make it so personal - it was magical 🥰 Our guests were blown away, as were we - especially with that little trick Kerrie had up her sleeve which brought back lovely memories on the day!
