Services Offered

Gifting you back your ceremony. essentially this is what I strive to do as your celebrant. The legal registration of marriage is beautifully important thing, BUT, it is not your wedding ceremony. It can be embedded in your ceremony, but some of the historical contraints required by law for a civil cermeony if you are not looking for a religious ceremony, can be very restrictive and result in a somewhated sterile, templated, "heard it beofre' ceremony.

I get to know you both as individuals and as a couple. I walk alongside you sharing in your excitiement as we create something truly bespoke and personal to you. I only do one wedding cermeony a day so you are my only focus. I create ceremonies that are a safe and joyous space. You will enjoy, not endure yoour ceremony.

Do get in touch. I'd love to offer a relaxed, no obligation video call or telephone call and hear all about you!

The Most Wonderful Ceremony!

We met Deborah at the first wedding fair we attended after getting engaged in April 2023. We had been discussing the celebrant route for our ceremony and talking to Deborah made us want to find out more. After chatting to her via video chat, we decided we definitely wanted to go ahead and booked her immediately. Over the months we have known Deborah, we have met with her several times and she really is the kindest, warmest, loveliest person you could ever wish to meet. She created a beautiful, personal ceremony for us, incorporating some things we had asked to include such as a candle lighting for my husband's late mother and my late brother which was a really beautiful moment. We got married on 15th February 2024 and Deborah really made our ceremony so perfect. She was so professional and, because we had already spent time with her, we felt so comfortable around her. She made what could have been a really nerve wracking time so easy and fun and our guests all commented that they had never attended such a wonderful personal ceremony. Everything she did suited us and our vibe perfectly and we really could not have asked for a better person to create and lead our special ceremony. Our whole day was so personal to us and this started with our wonderful ceremony. She understood us and who we were as individuals and as a couple and that was so evident in the ceremony she prepared for us. Choosing a celebrant over a registrar ceremony was the best decision we made for the day and it really made it a much more special experience for us and for our guests. We really cannot thank Deborah enough for everything she did for us, not just on the day but ever since we met her and we hope we can keep in touch and see her business going from strength to strength as she is certainly born to be a celebrant. Thank you Deborah for everything.

Sister Mary Clarence!!

We’d never heard of a celebrant before and truth be told we only got one because we couldn’t get a registrar for the times we wanted on our special day but boy are we glad we did and so so happy we found lovely Deborah. She got to know us so well, made the ceremony so personal yet so funny and even dressed up as a nun right at the end as a nod to our favourite film, sister act, as we walked out to “I will follow him”. All our guests, especially family, were blown away with how the ceremony reflected on our upbringings and our time as a couple. Having not never heard of a celebrant before I’d now say it’s the only way for a wedding to be performed going forward and Deborah is the one you need!!!

A master of her craft

The perfect person to conduct our ceremony. We felt like Deborah captured us as a couple perfectly and created a ceremony that was so in tune with who we are as a couple and that really shone bright. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and Deborah’s story telling and attention to detail is second to none. A master of her craft and a bloody lovely human being too. We would 1000% recommend Deborah to anybody looking for a personal, ‘true to you’ style wedding ceremony.

Thanks again Deborah! X

Dreamiest Celebrant Ever

Where do i start. Deborah was amazing from start to finish. She catered to mine and Daniel’s every needs as well as coming up with some of the best ideas, that even me and my husband wouldn’t have thought of but fitted our relationship/dream ceremony so well. Deborah made our day so special and because of her we have the best memories that we will cherish forever. I couldn’t recommend Deborah enough.

Ten star service!!

I don't even know where to begin with this review. As Deborah and I have mutual friends I had followed her of social media for some time before we got engaged. Her passion for her work and the individuality she likes to bring to her ceremonies was always very apparent. When we got engaged the first thing I did was contact Deborah as I knew she had to be the one to perform our ceremony, luckily my (now) husband agreed. It was the easiest and best decision we made. Deborah helped us to create a truly unique ceremony that was both heartfelt and funny, she even helped me plot a surprise for my husband, which I don't think I could have carried off without her help. She really held our hand throughout a sometimes stressful and overwhelming time wedding planning and gave us confidence that everything would work out, which it did. I cannot recommend True to You Celebrancy enough, if I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you for everything Deborah!

A truly amazing celebrant!!

We couldn't have asked for a more professional, kind, thoughtful and engaging celebrant to have on board for our wedding day. In truth, we were both dreading the ceremony before we met Deborah; but she immediately put us at ease and took the time and effort to really get to know us and create a unique and personal ceremony that was just perfect for us. So many of our guests have commented on how amazing Deborah and the ceremony was. She also adapted the plan in a heartbeat to accommodate some serious last minute nerves. We really can't thank Deborah enough for creating a safe space that really allowed us to enjoy (not endure!) our ceremony; such a special memory surrounded by loved ones that we'll cherish forever. Thank you!! N&A xx

Truly True to You

Deborah was such a perfect choice for our wedding ceremony, from our first chat she listened to just how we wanted the day to be and created a ceremony to fit us. We’ve had so many compliments from guests about how “us” the ceremony was and we’re so glad we had Deborah as part of our day
Thank you so much

Simply stunning

Deborah is amazing! Our ceremony was personal, much loved and warm, delivered by Deborah who encapsulated our journey perfectly. She gave us time before the ceremony to really get to know us and this only added to our day. She is a genuinely lovely lady!

Confident and highly skilled

Deborah played a pivotal role in our civil wedding ceremony...... She is a confident and highly skilled public speaker whose approach to communication is deeply personal and empathic.
