Where love is at the heart of every story
A Warm, Heartfelt Celebrant for Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire
Weddings, celebrations of life and naming ceremonies, created around the people at the heart of them. Meaningful moments, plenty of love and a ceremony that feels like you.
Hello, I'm Sarah
For 21 years I have been a primary school teacher, planning lessons, telling stories and standing in front of a room full of people. Now I’m bringing all of those skills, along with my love of writing and connecting with people, to creating and delivering heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate the people you love.
I have lived in Buckinghamshire all my life. I come from an incredibly close family, I am married to my best friend, and I absolutely love love, which is handy in this job!
Ceremonies Written From the Heart
Weddings, Commitment Ceremonies and Vow Renewals
A relaxed, joyful ceremony that tells your love story in a way that feels completely you. Full of love, laughter and those little personal touches that make your day truly special, surrounded by the people who mean the most to you. Perfect for a barn, a manor house or the venue of your dreams. From £695.
Funerals and Celebrations of Life
When someone you love has died, I will take the time to listen, learn about the person they were and help you create a warm farewell that truly reflects their life, personality and the love you shared. £300.
Naming Ceremonies
A new baby, a child joining your family through adoption, or two families becoming one. A personal, joyful welcome surrounded by the people who love them. £400.
Like a Warm Hug, From First Hello to the Final Word
The ceremonies I love most are the ones that feel relaxed, inclusive and completely yours. Not extravagant, not over-themed, just heartfelt, memorable and full of the stories that matter to you.
I would love to be welcomed into your group, hear the stories, share ideas and work together to create the perfect ceremony. You bring the memories. I bring the words and support.
From our first chat to the moment I step up on the day, I am here to answer questions, offer ideas and reassure you. No question is too small.
Two decades of writing, editing and presenting means I know how to shape a story and how to deliver it so the whole room feels part of it.
Blended families, children with a role to play, grandparents reading, a brother with a poem. If your family is at the heart of it, I am in my element.
In Their Words
Bucks Born and Bred
Buckinghamshire has always been home to me, and I’ve spent plenty of time exploring neighbouring Oxfordshire too. We’re lucky to have so many beautiful places on our doorstep, from charming country barns and manor houses to peaceful gardens and more intimate settings. Wherever your ceremony takes place, I’d love to help make it truly special.
I’m more than happy to travel further afield, including Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
Travel within 30 miles of Aylesbury is included in my fee, with an additional mileage charge for journeys beyond this.
Let's Tell Your Story
Every ceremony starts with a conversation. Tell me a little about what you are planning, or who you are remembering, and that will be our starting point. We can have a friendly, informal chat about your ideas, your wishes and how I can create a ceremony that’s just right for you.
