CELEBRANT
Creating beautiful, bespoke ceremonies for all
CELEBRATING LIFE, LOVE, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
An Independent Celebrant creates personalised ceremonies that celebrate you and your story. These ceremonies are not restricted by time, location or traditions! Therefore, a celebrant-led ceremony is 100% unique to you and can reflect your: personalities, faiths, past journey and future goals.
The ceremony is the most intimate part of your day. As your celebrant, I will work with you to plan and shape your ceremony so it is exactly how you want it to be. What truly matters to me is that the ceremony is perfect for you.
WHAT IS AN INDEPENDENT CELEBRANT?
WEDDINGS
No bog standard script, no restrictions, just a beautifully crafted ceremony that is bespoke to you.
Your ceremony should be unforgettable and, arguably, the best part of your day (not just the logistical, paperwork part).
It truly is the heart of your wedding. You also have the opportunity to really get to know the person who leads your ceremony and marries you.
Prices starting from £870
VOW RENEWALS
A ceremony that allows you to reaffirm your love, reflect on your journey and recommit to each other. Vow Renewal ceremonies are not limited by size, location or laws so you can celebrate your relationship in any way you want.
Anyone legally married or in a civil partnership can renew their vows - vow renewals do not discriminate!
A wonderful opportunity to have a completely unique experience and celebrate how far your relationship has come.
Prices starting from £750
I’m Charley.
Lovely to meet you
I believe life’s milestones deserve to be celebrated beautifully and boldly. I’m your support system, your hype girl, and the creator of ceremonies you’ll remember forever.
From the moment we started speaking with Charley, we knew she would be the perfect celebrant for our wedding. She immediately understood the style we envisioned for our ceremony and brought a fresh, modern touch that made it feel truly special.
Charley made us feel completely at ease throughout the process and offered wonderful suggestions for readings and vows. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charley who is warm, professional and genuinely invested in creating a memorable ceremony.

INCLUSIVITY
I chose to become an Independent Celebrant because it’s deeply important to me to honour everyone, regardless of beliefs, culture, or identity.
Everyone I work with is welcomed and respected.
I am committed to deliver inclusive ceremonies for people of all genders, identities, cultures, and abilities. I respectfully use stated pronouns and will always work with you to ensure your ceremony is accessible and welcoming for everyone involved.
Every ceremony I create is guided by authenticity and the belief that all love and all lives deserve to be celebrated.
THE (CG) PROCESS
-
Use the contact form linked below to get in touch. Share with me your ceremony date and location (if chosen), some information about you and anything else you think is important.
-
After you enquire, we can arrange a no-obligation chat- either by video call, over the phone or in person if you are local (I just love a coffee catch up!)
It is a relaxed opportunity for us to connect and for you to decide if working together feels right! -
Once you have decided that I am the perfect celebrant for you, I will send over deposit payment details and your contract so that you can lock in your date!
-
During the script writing process, I will set up a WhatsApp chat with you for us to share ideas, thoughts and inspiration! See a cute idea on TikTok? Send it over! It is a great opportunity to have all of our creative ideas in one place.
I will send you a questionnaire so that I can start to create the backbone of your script. This will include your past journey, future goals and any elements you may wish to include in your ceremony.
I would love the opportunity to meet you face to face before the big day (where possible). The great part of having a celebrant-led ceremony is that you get to know the person who is sharing your story. Establishing a relationship is so important so that you feel you feel at ease and confident that your big day is in excellent hands.
-
Using all of the inspiration from our interactions, I will start to create your dream script! A few weeks before the big day, I will get in touch with you and share your script (unless you want it to be a surprise…). We will also confirm the finalised plans for the day, readings you have chosen and anything other information vital to your day.
-
Finally, the day is here! I will arrive at least one hour before the ceremony, liaise with the other suppliers and set up any aspects of the ceremony that we have planned. All you need to do is enjoy this magical moment.
