Mastering Ceremonies
Reconfirm your Wedding Vows
It takes time, effort, commitment and love to live with someone in a long-lasting relationship. Besides telling your partner that you love them more than anything else, there is no better way to reconfirm your love and commitment to each other than to publicly declare it to your family, your friends and the world. Let me help you to prepare a beautiful, memorable and appropriate ceremony to share your love for each other with others.
Baby Namings
Oh the joy of having a new baby! How do you introduce this wondrous little being to your world? What to call this precious addition to your family? I will help you to prepare an event that will allow your family and friends to formally welcome your baby into their world and wish it the best for a bright, fulfilling and successful future.
Funerals
A death in our family, whether expected or not, will cause immense grief and suffering. The first few days after a death, can be a blur of unreality and disbelief. The arrangements for a funeral can seem overwhelming. I would be delighted to help you through this process. I will work with your Funeral Director and will help you to select appropriate readings, music and poetry to design and deliver a fitting ceremony to honour your loved one and to celebrate their life.
Pet Funerals
Our pets are extensions of our families and we can have extremely close, long and loving relationships with them. The process of grieving takes many forms and just as losing a human family member, losing our pet will bring on feelings of loss and grief. A formal ceremony to say farewell, can help to start the process of healing and remembering the good times that you had with your pet.

"Thanks so much for yesterday - you really made such an important difference to the day. Many people told me how impressed they were with how you carried out your role. Penelope, Oscar and I are very conscious that you made a very difficult time easier. Thanks so, so much."

"It was indeed a great pleasure meeting you and working with you on the wonderful funeral service and farewell to our dear friend Ralph. You were so generous with your time in ensuring everyone got flowers and attention to detail. You certainly went above and beyond to make a great success for us, one that Ralph would have been proud of. Thank you once again, God Bless."
