About Me

I am an independent wedding and funeral celebrant living in South West London with my husband, two kids and our dog Archie. I have been a wedding and funeral celebrant since 2023 and I absolutely love it. I became a celebrant because I love hearing and helping to tell people’s stories; stories of love and the stories of people’s lives. I am endlessly fascinated to hear them.

I love meeting new people. Working in the TV industry as a freelancer for more years than I care to remember meant I hopped from company to company, team to team. Having such a nomadic career meant I really needed to be able to connect with a broad range of personalities. Sending crew, presenters and contributors all over the world to film in some quite amazing places was stressful and bonkers at times but very rewarding. I was lucky enough to travel with the job to Argentina, Brazil, Morocco and India to name but a few – meeting and working with new people in each country, some of whom remain friends.

Music is a huge part of my life. I play clarinet and over the years have played in many orchestras and ensembles. I also rather fancy myself as a bit of a singer (I may be alone in that conviction) having sung in a few bands and, for a while, in a London Community Gospel Choir workshop. Nowadays I attempt to learn a range of instruments from the trumpet to ukele, bass guitar to steel drums. I also volunteer for a local music charity who support children with physical, learning, neurological or psychological difficulties; music can be the best therapy.

Other passions; well my family of course who all keep me on my toes in one way or another (though the threat of a song normally quells any potential nonsense) I love clearing the cobwebs with long dog walks in the countryside –sometimes rounded off with a glass of something lovely in a quaint pub. I have been known to frequent the gym (once or twice this year already – one shouldn’t overdo these things) and hanging out with my friends or trying new things (latest project – crotchet; result –

diabolical)

But enough about me.

I decided to leave television because I wanted to do something I’m truly passionate about – listening to and telling YOUR story. I would love to hear it, whether you are sharing with me your love story ahead of your wedding day or telling me the story of a loved one who has died and who you want to honour with a deeply personal celebration of their life. This is why I am a celebrant – there are so many stories to be shared, and I love helping to get them heard.
