I'm an award winning wedding celebrant with over 10 years experience and was a wedding planner for many years. I conduct ceremonies throughout England, with all costs included in the price quoted. I have been a Wedding Celebrant for over 10 years and prior to this was a wedding planner with my own business.Once I receive your enquiry, we'll have an initial chat over zoom, or whatsapp, to introduce ourselves and get an idea of the style of ceremony you would like
My website www.jmcelebrant.com includes a couple of videos of ceremonies I've performed to give you some ideas. Following this, we will meet in person for a more in depth discussion and begin planning your ceremony.
This can take the appearance of a 'Traditional' service, or can be something completely different.
We are a team and I work with you to plan a personal, relaxed, fun and meaningful ceremony that can contain readings, vows or promises, religious content and traditions from different cultures - whatever you feel represents you as a couple and as individuals. Often couples enjoy including 'Their Story', featuring details of their journey together, up to this amazing point in their lives.

Top Wedding Tips
Always eat something prior to your wedding. You need something in your stomach to help you concentrate and focus. Its a long day and you'll need all your energy
Ensure you are hydrated throughout the day. It's easy to get light headed with heat and/or nerves.
Remember, a Celebrant wedding should be relaxed and fun. Tiny mistakes make people laugh and add to the very happy atmosphere.

It was clear how much thought and care she put into our ceremony and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone warm, thoughtful and truly invested in making their day special
Thank you Jenny!
We couldn't be more thankful for her help in achieving such a beautiful ceremony, with some of our guests saying it was one of the most engaging and interesting ceremonies they'd been to.
She thoughtfully incorporated elements for our different cultures and told our story in such a meaningful and authentic way.
We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better person as our celebrant
and we feel so grateful to have had her as part of our special day
From the moment we met her on Zoom, we knew she was the perfect person for us.
We were unsure what we wanted and struggled to imagine how our ceremony would work without a registrar. Within minutes of speaking to Jenny, all of those worries disappeared.
Her warmth, confidence and experience, immediately put us at ease.
Jenny is one of the friendliest people you could meet and we felt completely comfortable and supported every step of the way.
She spent lots of time getting to know us as a couple before writing the most gorgeous story for our ceremony. It was everything we ever wanted - a very personal touch along with traditional elements. Our guests really enjoyed the uniqueness of the ceremony and how perfectly she suited us. Every aspect from planning to delivery of the ceremony was perfect.
Jenny was the celebrant for our wedding at Minley Manor in October 2023. She put so much thought and effort into making our ceremony personal and special. This included coming to our house to get to know us and speaking with a few of our close friends in order to draft the script of "Our Story", a special retelling of our journey to marriage. She helped us to write our own personal vows and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable before the day. On the day, Jenny was professional, warm, kind and funny and delivered an incredible ceremony. There wasn't a dry eye in the room and more than one person commented that it was the most personal ceremony they had been to. Thank you so much Jenny for making our day so special!!

Jenny, you are amazing!
We hired Jenny to be our celebrant for our garden wedding last weekend - and we were incredibly happy with our decision!
Jenny was super professional throughout the process, arranging face to face meetings with us both and individually to gather as much information as possible many months before the event. She also got in contact with our maid of honour and best man to get their thoughts on us as a couple ahead of writing her speech.
On the big day, Jenny delivered on her promise and made a perfect speech, full of sentiment, humour and character. On a wet and windy day, she brought life and warmth to the occasion and set us and the guests up for the rest of the day.
We really couldn't recommend Jenny highly enough.

Meet the Owner
I'm a mum to 3 grown up children and a Nana to 2 fantastic young kiddies. I live in Surrey, with my husband 2 dogs and rehomed tortoise, Myshell! I was a wedding planner for a number of years and have been a Celebrant for over10 years. Deciding to become a Celebrant is one of the best decisions I've ever made, working with wonderful couples and winning a number of awards for doing a job I love. Your ceremony may be performed anywhere you choose, with many couples signing the legal paperwork at the registry office and saving their vows etc., for their celebrant ceremony. Initially we'll have a chat via zoom or WhatsApp to introduce ourselves, discuss the style of your ceremony and find out a little more about each other. We'll then meet in person to discuss your ideas and ceremony in more detail. You may be thinking of a more traditional wedding with or without an element of religion, or something a little more modern and if appropriate, a ceremony embracing different cultures and traditions. We can incorporate Your Story, your journey to how you arrived at this point in your lives. This is emotional and fun, whilst reflecting your love and commitment to each other. I write all your script, not using Al or templates and this is why it is such a personal, relaxed and unique ceremony. Recently I've introduced a beautiful but simplified ceremony, with a fee that represents the reduced level of personal writing and this is perfect for couples who want some guidance, but don't wish to share too many personal details. Please do message or call to arrange a preliminary chat.
