Helping you navigate life's biggest moments
A very warm welcome!
I’m delighted you’re here. I’m your celebrant, Emma and I work with wonderful people across Yorkshire, the North of England and beyond, to navigate life’s biggest moments.
Whether you’re welcoming someone special into your world, planning a wedding or saying goodbye to someone dear to you, I truly understand the weight of your decision in finding the right celebrant - for you.
I’m all about ceremonies that are bursting at the seams with personality, pride and pazazz. If this sounds up your street, have a browse around my page and I'd love to chat soon.
A little bit about me.
I live in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside with my husband and two dogs - Nellie, a white whippet and Edie, a very scruffy lurcher. I am a glass-full-to-the-brim kind of person, I get it from my mum. I love nothing more than being out and about in the wide world. Sun on my face, wind in my hair... that kind of thing.
I live my life with energy and vibrancy, seeking out the things that spark some joy or make me laugh. Having said this, I’m also a very reflective person and like to lean into life’s deeper feelings and moments. Telling your story is much the same. I blend emotion with a touch of humour to put everyone at ease and focus on giving your story the spotlight it deserves, shining brightly at the heart of your ceremony.
Why choose Emma
In life’s most significant moments, we only get one shot to get it right. As a celebrant, it is a huge honour to make sure we do absolutely that. I am there with you every step of the way to guide you and ground you. Hype you up or calm you down.
I love ceremonies where guests are hanging off every word, where there’s laughter and maybe even a bit of audience participation. Where tears and applause come spontaneously and there are ‘you could hear a pin drop’ moments too.
