Birmingham & the Midlands

Celebrant in Birmingham and the Midlands

I'm based in Coventry and travel across Birmingham, Solihull and the wider Midlands for ceremonies of every kind: weddings and elopements, funerals and celebrations of life, baby namings, vow renewals, divorce ceremonies, new beginnings and pet farewells.

Whatever the occasion, the approach is the same. A long conversation, a script written from a blank page, and a ceremony that sounds like the people in it.

Every kind of ceremony, one celebrant

Families often come back to me for a second and third occasion, which is the part of this job I'm proudest of. A wedding, then a naming, then years later a farewell for the dog who was at both.

Because I write everything myself, the thread between those ceremonies stays intact. Your stories don't have to be explained from scratch every time.

City venues and awkward spaces

Birmingham throws up some brilliant, difficult rooms: warehouse spaces with echo, rooftops with wind, restaurants with a hard stop at six. I plan around them rather than pretending they aren't there.

Tell me the venue and I'll tell you honestly what will and won't work in it.

Travel and availability

Coventry, Birmingham, Solihull and Warwickshire are all comfortably local. I do travel further for the right ceremony, including destination weddings, so it's always worth asking.

Weekday, weekend, evening. If you can get your people in a room, I can lead a ceremony in it.
