So What is a Celebrant?

A celebrant is a person who performs ceremonies marking life’s significant moments. They officiate funerals, memorials, weddings, vow renewals, and baby naming ceremonies.  

A good celebrant creates a bespoke, meaningful ceremony, allowing you
complete creative freedom to shape their day.

As an experienced Celebrant, Kathryn works closely with her clients to create personalised and heartfelt ceremonies and can help with:

• Funerals
• Weddings
• Naming Ceremonies
• Memorial Services 

Kathryn ensures that each service reflects the unique story of the individual or couple. She expertly weaves together elements like poetry, readings, stories, and music to craft a memorable experience.

Kathryn’s warm and compassionate approach makes people feel at ease, this, combined with her northern accent, makes her a joy to listen to.

Funerals

Kathryn recognises the impact of these stories and considers it an honour to share them with heart and compassion.

She helps families celebrate their loved ones’ lives by creating meaningful farewells that are centred around your loved ones. Her story telling offers comfort and solace at the hardest time of life.
