About Elspeth......

We always surround important life occasions with ceremony and celebration. Sadly, throughout my life I have witnessed many services that are not personal and lack appropriate sentiment and feeling.

It is my passion (and I have made it my mission) to create ceremonies that are always just right; celebrations that are both dignified and heartfelt, always unique and personal, professionally delivered with authenticity, care and respect. 

My role is that of the story teller. Whether it’s telling the story of a life, the story of a relationship or the story of a new beginning and hope for the future. Through telling these stories and using symbolism that is meaningful to the people involved I am able to create something truly personal.

People often approach me after I have delivered a service and comment they had no idea that a ceremony could be so original and poignant.

Many years of working in the world of marketing has provided me with a significant amount of experience in public speaking and I pride myself in clear, professional delivery. 

I choreograph and rehearse each and every service many times, until I am happy that the final result I deliver will be seamless and polished.

I work collaboratively with each of my clients to ensure their needs and requests are accommodated as I consider it the prerogative of those I represent to choose their own way. 

 I can also offer advice when it comes to choosing music or readings as well as creating tailored vows or other religious or secular prose as appropriate.

 I’ve been a celebrant since 2014 and have been honoured to deliver many personal, memorable ceremonies at a fabulously wide range of glorious venues, from stately homes to village halls, woodlands and farmer’s fields in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and London.
