Jess the Celebrant

It may have poured with rain on our wedding day last week, but we were lucky enough to have Jess there with us as our Celebrant. I felt like I’d known her always. Jess couldn’t have been any more wonderful from start to finish. We knew she was the right Celebrant for us the moment we first spoke over zoom and from that moment on, Jess was in regular communication with us, checking if we needed help, giving us nudges when we needed them (planning a wedding with a toddler is HARD and I needed nudging ????), making sure that she made our ceremony as personal and special as possible…she even spoke in Italian for my husbands family who were over from Napoli. I mean you seriously couldn’t ask for more. I’m quite sad now that’s it’s all over and we won’t have an official excuse to speak again, but I do hope we will check in now and then and I’m excited to see what lies ahead for Jess. I’d book her again a thousand times over in a heartbeat. No one could have done more and so beautifully for us. Thank you Jess we love you!

We booked Jess for our wedding on Sunday 16th July 2023. Jess came recommended to us by our venue which always provides a bit of assurance and on meeting Jess we could see why. She was very warm and welcoming but had a calmness and professionalism about her which was comforting and felt like she’d have our day well in hand. We exchanged details and a WhatsApp group was set up with communication when needed. It didn’t feel like a bombardment but an occasional check-in and ask for information when needed. We liked this style as it didn’t add to the pressure we already had in arranging a wedding. Jess is very thorough in getting to know you as a person and as a couple. Aside from chats and check-ins, we were asked to complete a couples questionnaire which we could do separately or together. We chose separately as we thought it’d be interesting to offer our different perspectives on the relationship. Jess took all of that info and worked it into an amazing speech that really captured what our relationship is all about. On the day itself, Jess arrived early and dressed really nice – taking our colours and theme into consideration. She said hello but then was quick off the mark to make sure everything was ready with the venues and staff supporting. Jess’s professionalism and warmness shone though as she coordinated the start of the ceremony and spoke with confidence, humour and came across really genuine and human. This definitely helped with our own nerves on the day. She arranged a light hearted poem, reflected both of our questionnaires really well and touched on important points to both of us which we really appreciated. We couldn’t recommend Jess enough as a celebrant. A lovely person and we feel lucky to have had her share in our special day. All the best, Jess, and thank you.

My wife and I recently had the absolute pleasure of having Jess as our Celebrant for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience she provided. From the very beginning, Jess went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met Jess, her warm and genuine personality put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it was evident that she genuinely cared about making our ceremony as personalized and meaningful as possible. Her attention to detail was truly impressive, as she not only guided us through the logistics of the ceremony but also took the time to learn about our love story, incorporating unique and heart-warming anecdotes that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Jess’s expertise shone through during the planning process, as she seamlessly assisted us with every aspect of the ceremony. Her input was invaluable when it came to crafting our vows. Jess provided insightful suggestions and thoughtful guidance, helping us to articulate our feelings in a way that was both authentic and touching. Our guests are still talking about the wonderful stories she shared, and how those stories made our ceremony feel like a true reflection of who we are as a couple. Beyond her exceptional professional skills, Jess is a pleasure to work with on a personal level. She was responsive, attentive, and flexible throughout the entire process. She took the time to address our concerns, answer our questions, and alleviate any worries we had, making the journey towards our wedding day enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond to make your wedding day as magical as it can be, look no further than Jess! Her dedication, passion, and genuine love for her work is unparalleled. We are so grateful to have had Jess as a part of our special day, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a truly unforgettable wedding ceremony. Thank you, Jess, for making our wedding day a dream come true!

Thank you so much Jess! You were incredible from start to finish and it speaks volumes that not one amendment was made to our draft script you prepared and sent over to us a while back. It was perfect! We knew we were in safe hands, and you really did just make everything so seamless throughout the whole ceremony and preparation. I couldn’t recommend you enough to anyone and everyone.

We cannot thank Jess enough for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease. On the day, Jess delivered our story so beautifully and with such warmth that many of our guests (even our families!) thought she was a close friend. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship was truly remarkable. Jess made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable. What made Jess even more special was how wholeheartedly she embraced our wedding culture. She went above and beyond by finding an Indian wedding guest outfit of her own accord and researching Keralan traditions to help the ceremony flow smoothly. This thoughtful gesture made the day feel even more meaningful for us and our families. We feel so lucky to have had Jess as our celebrant and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make their day truly special. Thank you, Jess!

There are a lot of decisions to make around weddings but having Jess as our celebrant was absolutely one of the best things we did! From the minute we met- we knew we were going to get on well and the way Jess helped make our ceremony so personal was really really special. She helped us write vows that were so authentically us and brought her friendly and calming energy to provide a relaxed atmosphere where she shared stories about our relationship- making everyone laugh (and cry) in all the right places. Every single one of our friends and family said how personal and emotional the ceremony was - it’s something we keep on hearing and that is down to Jess and how well she put everything together. She was a huge part of a big day in our lives and we are so so grateful that we made the decision to go with her as our celebrant (if we’re honest from the minute we spoke there was never another option). Thank you so much Jess!
