All About... Me
It is important that you choose a celebrant you click with, and who feels like a friend. That's why we always have an online chat before you book - you need to know what you're letting yourselves in for. And my bio below will give you a little flavour!
I'll happily admit that I'm not for everyone!
But if you want someone who is a bit extra, has some out-there ideas, and loves creating ceremonies where everyone has a fabulous time...
Then I just might be the one for you.

Bio
Interesting Facts:
-
I used to sell crochet stuff on etsy, and once sold a hat in the shape of a boob to a Game Of Thrones actress.
-
I've been on stage with the band Yard Act twice.
-
I've been personally serenaded by Elvis Costello (ask your dad / grandad) and also danced on stage with him... with my dad... in a gogo cage.
-
I used to sing in a vintage trio, and Jarvis Cocker has heard me sing.
-
I ended up on BBC news and in the Daily Mail* after I was falsely accused of foraging mushrooms in a protected area.
*against my will... so I billed them for unauthorised image use, and donated the money to refugee and trans charities because I didn't want to accept money from the Daily Mail.
