As an inclusive wedding celebrant based in Lancashire and working across the North West, I’ll help you bring your unique LOVE story to life — no cookie-cutter scripts here, just a celebration that feels exactly like you.
If you are thinking 'this sounds great Gill, but what does a celebrant actually do?' Here's the low down...
What a Celebrant Does
If you’re wondering exactly what a celebrant does, here’s the lowdown. I create and deliver bespoke wedding, civil partnership, and commitment ceremonies that truly reflect each unique love story. Your celebration can be completely personalised — no rules, no restrictions, just a ceremony that feels 100% you.
Travel & Locations
I’m based in Chorley, Lancashire, and I love working across the North West. I can also travel anywhere in the UK or abroad to make your ceremony happen. Whether it’s an intimate backyard wedding, a festival-themed bash, or a stylish city venue, I’ll help bring your vision to life.
Legal Info & Next Steps
While I craft and officiate your ceremony, I cannot legally marry you. If you want your marriage to be legally binding, you’ll need to register separately at your local Registration Office however with me, your wedding day will still be completely yours — full of meaning, personality, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Hi there, I'm your North West Wedding Celebrant... I'm Gill.
About Me
Pleased to meet you, I’m Gill! I love a good celebration and have had my own fair share of quirky adventures. From saying “I do” at a pagan-inspired ceremony in an inflatable church at Glastonbury to a Caribbean beach wedding, and even renewing vows with Elvis in Vegas, I’ve tried it all!
I approach life with infectious positivity and enthusiasm. Whether snowboarding, trying stand-up comedy, travelling in my campervan, or waving my hands in the air to my favourite tunes, I bring energy and joy to everything I do — especially weddings.
Why I Love Celebrating Weddings
I adore helping couples shake off restrictions and create ceremonies that truly reflect who they are. Your love story is unique, and your celebration should be too. Together, we’ll explore your vibe, your quirks, and your personalities to craft a ceremony that leaves your guests smiling, laughing, and maybe even wiping away a happy tear.
Free Initial Consultation
Why It Matters
I know how important it is to find the right celebrant. Before you commit, I offer a free virtual consultation to chat about your vision and answer any questions.
What We’ll Cover
During this session, I’ll share how I work, what makes my approach unique, and how I can help your ceremony shine.
Other Options
If a traditional wedding isn’t your thing, this is also the perfect time to discuss Civil Partnership or Commitment Ceremonies.
Ceremony Creation
Gathering Your Love Story
Once we’ve had your planning meeting, I’ll gather all the gorgeous details of your love story. Your vibe, your vision, and your favourite memories are what make your ceremony truly unique.
Crafting Your Bespoke Ceremony
Next, I lock myself away in my office (snacks at the ready!) to start creating a personalised script. I carefully weave your stories, chosen readings, songs, and symbolic actions into a ceremony that reflects who you are. Sometimes this includes a lot of dancing around the room to your wedding playlist or scrolling excitedly through your venue photos!
Review and Final Tweaks
Once the first draft is ready, I share the script with you. This gives you the chance to review everything, suggest tweaks, or add any final touches. My goal is a ceremony that feels perfect to you.
Finalising Everything
Finally, once you’re happy, the ceremony is signed off and ready to go. I’ll keep it safe and organised so that on your big day, everything flows smoothly — giving you peace of mind and a ceremony you’ll remember forever.
Unlimited Contact
Ongoing Support
Throughout the planning process, I’ll maintain open, friendly contact. You can reach out anytime with questions or updates.
Extra Meetings
We can schedule additional virtual meetings if needed to ensure every detail is ready for the big day.
Coordination
I’ll liaise with other suppliers where necessary, keeping everything seamless and stress-free.
Ceremony Planning Meeting
Your Love Story
Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll meet (in person or virtually).
Your Vision
Next, we’ll dive into your love story, your vibe, and your vision. Meetings are tailored to you — in person or virtual — and completely stress-free.
Stress-Free Planning
The meeting is tailored entirely around your needs. Relax, share, and enjoy the process — no pressure, just creativity.
Additional Ceremony Content
Symbolic Actions, Music, and Readings
Choosing additional ceremony content is an exciting part of the planning process. I’ll help you explore symbolic actions, readings, music, and poetry that can add a touch of magic and make your ceremony truly unique.
Creating Your Vows
If you’d like guidance on your vows, just let me know. Whether you want something traditional, quirky, or completely offbeat, I can help you craft words that genuinely reflect your personalities.
Bringing It All Together
Together, we’ll make sure every element enhances your ceremony and feels perfectly you.
On the BIG DAY
Arriving and Greeting Guests
By the time your big day arrives, we’ll know each other well. I’ll be a friendly, familiar face that you can trust. Before the ceremony begins, I’ll greet your guests, make sure everyone feels comfortable, and check in with anyone who might need a little extra guidance.
Delivering Your Ceremony
Then comes the ceremony itself. I’ll deliver it with my usual enthusiasm and charm, creating a joyful, memorable experience. Whether it’s helping your guests feel relaxed or making sure every detail is exactly as you imagined, I’ve got it covered.
Keeping Things Fun and Smooth
Additionally, I’ll be on hand to manage little moments—like letting your aunty Maureen know she’s rocking her new wedding hat or giving a gentle nudge to a guest who’s put their buttonhole in upside down. If anything doesn’t go to plan, my military training kicks in. I can swiftly implement Plan B, C, or Z to keep everything running smoothly.
Post-Ceremony Celebration
Finally, once you’ve walked back down the aisle and the cheers have died down, I’ll be there to celebrate with you. I can even step in as an emergency confetti thrower! Plus, I’ll provide a souvenir script and ceremony certificate as a keepsake of your special day.
