Sharing and reading what others have said about me can help you decide if you’ll be saying “YES!” for the second time!

I started my journey as a Wedding Celebrant in the Summer of 2023 and so I’m still fairly new in the game. I am confident that as time goes on and as I deliver more wedding ceremonies, this page will develop.

 

21 September 2024

From the couple – “We both just want to say a huge thank you for such a beautiful ceremony yesterday! All our guests for the rest of the day were complimenting how intimate and lovely the ceremony was and like nothing they had been to before, (they loved the ring warming so I’m so glad we did that!) which is exactly what we wanted and you executed that so beautifully! Thank you again”

From the couple – “We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding celebrant! From our first meeting to the big day, Kimberley was incredibly supportive and attentive to our vision. She crafted a beautiful and personalised ceremony that perfectly captured our love story, making it heartfelt and memorable. Kimberley’s warmth and genuine enthusiasm set a wonderful tone for the day, and our guests were captivated by her words. We received countless compliments about how fantastic the ceremony was, and we wholeheartedly agree! If you’re looking for someone to make your wedding truly special, Kimberley is the one!”

 

From the guests – “Kimberley officiated the wedding of two dear friends of mine and she was truly phenomenal. Every minute of the 45 minute ceremony was so thoughtfully put together and beautifully written and delivered that I was enthralled the whole time. She tailor made the service to perfectly reflect the bride and grooms personalities and gave a really special insight into the couple. The best wedding I’ve ever been to! Thank you Kimberley!”

July 2024

From the couple – “Kimberley – we just wanted to say how grateful we are for yesterday. You were absolutely brilliant and managed the rain and trains with ease! So many guests came up to us asking about and complimenting you. Thank you so much”

 

 

June 2024

From the couple – “Where to start! Kim was just amazing all the way through our wedding journey! It was a real full circle moment, as the first time we met Kim was actually in University, almost 14 years ago! So imagine our excitement when we found out she is now a celebrant! It was so perfect. We were absolutely the lucky ones that Kim said “Yes” to us!
Kim’s attention to detail and ability to tell our story made our ceremony so special. The first draft we received was practically perfect, there was hardly anything to change and the bits that did change were on us to provide anyway! We had regular contact with Kim on WhatsApp, emails, and in person coffee meets, so we always knew what the next steps were leading up to the day. On the day, things couldn’t have gone more perfectly. Bright smiles and such positive energy throughout. So many of our guests had never been to an outdoor wedding, let alone a celebrant led wedding, so we were a little apprehensive on how it would be received, but we needed not worry as Kim was amazingly professional and we’ve received so many compliments from friends and family afterwards.
If you’re looking for a celebrant for your wedding then don’t look any further as Kim is your gal! You 100% won’t regret it and you’ll make a great friend along the way!”

February 2024

From the couple – “From our first meeting with Kimberley, we were struck by her warm and easygoing (yet always professional) manner, and her amazing perceptiveness. We were blown away when we received the first draft of our ceremony – She had managed to articulate the essence of ‘us’ and lots of the sentiments that we wanted to share with our guests in such a beautiful way, and after just one evening together! Her words made us laugh, cringe, and shed a tear all at once, and her attention to detail was incredible. She seamlessly incorporated our chosen readings, and gave us guidance, encouragement and confidence in writing our own vows. She made sure the ceremony was ‘just right’ for us, and was a wonderful presence on our wedding day itself, making us feel comfortable and relaxed in her capable hands. The best testament we can give to her gift for this role is that a number of our guests commented that it felt like our ceremony had been led by a close friend, rather than someone we had met only a handful of times. We are so grateful to have found Kimberley and we recommend her wholeheartedly!”

October 2023

From the couple – “It’s only taken us 6 months to get this review written, fortunately for us Kim does not lack the ability to put into words our story. We are very lucky to call her our friend and to have her write and preform our 10 year wedding anniversary vow and promise renewal ceremony. About this time last year we decided we would like to celebrate our 10 year anniversary by redoing our vows. We loved our first wedding, however, us and the relationship have been on a journey, grown and we wanted to write new vows to reflect this. A huge part of us now is our son and we wanted him to be a big part of the vow renewal.

Kim met with us, we had a coffee, she ask us about our story, key mile stones and gave us some homework. We spent time together writing what we wanted to say to each other and to your son. That was it, we trusted Kim to do the rest. The ceremony itself was on Ogmore beach there was just 5 of us, it was perfect. The tale of the rings, each ring representing an adventure in our journey. It couldn’t have been more fitting for us! We choose sand blending to represent each promise we made to each other, something our son loved helping with. Afterwards we had a paddle in the sea and ate doughnuts, just perfect there are no other words. Kim got us, she listened and she made it our story, what we wanted, what we needed. We can thank Kim enough for what she has given us.”

 

 

June 2023

From the couple – “We are absolutely over the moon with EVERYTHING Kim created with us. We could not recommend Kim enough. She was so helpful in supporting us to create a day that truly aligned with our values as a couple, her calm guidance was amazing! Kim wrote two amazing, meaningful and personal ceremonies for us; one for just the two of us (where we went up a mountain with Kim, yes Kim was more than willing to do this with us!!!) and the other for friends and family to be a part of (in Penpont House in Brecon). Kim created ceremonies that perfectly matched us. They were amazing. Kim was professional at all times but alongside this we felt we developed a very special, intermit and unique relationship with her that we will forever hold dearly in our hearts. If you are reading this review I hope that one day you’re lucky enough have Kim join you in you journey in life; she’s a very special person to us now and we are so pleased to have come across her, we are confident she will become this person to you also. Thank you Kim”

From the guests – “Kim was the celebrant at my daughter’s wedding, she is absolutely delightful. She took the time to genuinely get to know my daughter and her fiancé prior to the wedding, which made her reading during the ceremony truly perfect. Her warm and friendly demeanor made it feel as if she had been a close, trusted friend to the couple for a long time. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Kim for any ceremony.”

“Kim was the celebrant at our son’s wedding. She delivered the most beautiful, emotional and composed service. Kim had previously taken the time to get to know both Brad and Carly so personally that you’d have thought she’d known them for years, which showed in the relaxed way it was conducted. A truly memorable day that we will treasure for ever. Thank you for a wonderful day . Highly recommend.”

 

 

May 2023

From the couple – “We could not recommend Kim enough, from the moment we first sat down with her she was fantastic. Kim was ever the professional yet made us feel like we’d known her for years. She had loads of options and ideas for what our ceremony could look like and put together the perfect script telling our story from what felt like a 10 minute conversation. Kim captured us perfectly with her humour and sweet words. So many of our guests complimented her work and said it made them feel more part of the day from the stories and laughter Kim shared. Thank you Kim, we had the most amazing day and it wouldn’t have been the same without you!”

From the guests – “I was best man at a wedding yesterday, Kim delivered the service for the happy couple. She was amazing, Kim told their story with such passion that you could picture the events she was recounting in your mind. She was funny, moving and passionate. It was the first Humanist wedding I’ve seen and it was really fantastic.”

“Attended a wedding and Kim was the celebrant delivering a humanist ceremony. It was just beautiful! Kim was extremely professional but also had a lovely way with words to make the ceremony feel really personal and not too formal!”

“Kim delivered the most beautiful ceremony for our friends, it was personable, engaging and she took every step to ensure that everything was perfect for them! The ceremony was completely them and delivered wonderfully, you could tell she had really taken the time to cultivate each part with the bride and groom in mind and it really showed!”

April 2023

From the couple

“We want to say a massive thank you for the ceremony. We had so many compliments and a lot of people said to us that they’d never seen that kind of humanist ceremony and loved how personal it was. We loved the process of getting the script, you made us feel really comfortable and we felt that it meant the script was really specific and touching. We also really appreciated the opportunity to edit it afterwards and loved the touches of asking the guests to make a vow and including our personal thoughts about the other. It was very reassuring to have you at the walk through with us so that you knew the venue and we appreciated your guidance on the day too, you were a massively reassuring presence. I thought your presentation was great. We loved the pace and the humour. It was a really magical day, thank you for helping to make that happen.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing Ceremonies (pre-delivery) 

Prior to delivering any ceremonies, I received the following feedback on the scripts:

“Had a read through the draft last night. Thanks for sending it through! We both loved it. We have a couple of tiny adjustments we like to make to a few bits. But other than that we super happy with what you’ve come up with, thank you.” — Received after sending C&B the first draft of their wedding ceremony in May, 2023

 

“Kim it’s lovely! It had me laughing out loud and sobbing at the same time! We love it!” — Received after sending M&L the first draft of their wedding ceremony in February, 2023

 

“We loved the ceremony! It’s really beautiful and we love how personal it is.” — Received after sending J&C the first draft of their wedding ceremony in March, 2023

 

 

Training 

In order to be an accredited Humanist celebrant, I underwent 5 day residential training. During which I delivered a ceremony for my peers and trainers. The feedback I received for that is below:

“Pretty damn perfect!”

“Very professional – we felt in safe hands”
