    We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us. She always got exactly where we were coming from and we really felt as though she took the time to get to know us because she wanted to. She … Read More

    At the ever-gorgeous #amberleycastle this afternoo At the ever-gorgeous #amberleycastle this afternoon for their open day. Chatted to some lovely people about celebrant weddings accompanied by the sound of Magdalena playing beautiful music on her harp. 
Fancy getting married in a castle? Whether it’s in this room, or outside amongst the old walls that are full of history, Amberley delivers every time (and the people who work there are awesome too) 
Great to meet @bunch_florist_ltd too, who provided the arch and the flowers for my little spot!

[Image description: Testimonial from SE - Claire has been so very helpful in many ways. I initially saw her at another ceremony for a dear friend and was delighted she could attend for my lovely Mum. 
I feel that Claire made it easy for friends and family to contact with her. Also during the ceremony she made all feel at ease and to feel, speak, cry and celebrate their loss. 
Always very polite with a down to earth approach to these matters. She has been extremely helpful and we also shared some personal chats with a few laughs thrown in.
Can't thank her enough. A warm and friendly lady whom I would refer anyone too. Amazing.]

[Image description: Testimonial from AS - Claire was recommended to us by the funeral director we used for my Mums funeral. Due to Covid we had a Zoom meeting to talk about Mum and some of our many happy family memories. The service that Claire put together was perfect and although highly emotional for us it was just what we wanted it to be. Claire’s attention to detail was outstanding and although it was under such sad circumstances I’m really pleased our paths crossed and I highly recommend Claire.]

[Image description: Testimonial from JR - Claire was the perfect celebrant for our father's funeral. She took time to get to know us and learn about his life. On the day, the ceremony was perfect... heartfelt and eloquent. We can't thank Clare enough for helping us create a beautiful ceremony at such a difficult time.]

    Some more pics from today’s wedding fair at Ciss Some more pics from today’s wedding fair at Cissbury Barns!
Always a joy to be at Cissbury and even more when I share the space with awesome fellow suppliers. I was ‘neighbours’ with @gingerlilybrighton and her sumptuous flowers and @renskitchen who gave me a delish strawberry and almond slice!
Also in our little corner of the ceremony barn was @morgisbord  with his brilliant films, my fellow swooner over dogs @bridalmakeupbysam (posing beautifully in the first pic in front of dresses from @lushcurvebridal  and @bridebyaster)
Other lovely peeps who were there included @somethingbluecarhire @tietheknotweddingcatering @gabriela_matei.photographer (who also gave me great IG advice!!) @wildbotanicalsfloraldesign @audioguestbook @hannah_lightpainter @theamyverse @freshcateringevents @kellyscakes_ (ahem I may have sampled a few…!) @go2entertainment @deluxeweddingcars and @loveheartphotographyuk 
Apologies for those I’ve missed!! You’re all awesome!
