We’ve just got back from our honeymoon and I wanted to say thank you so much for our amazing ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful.
You will now be forever in my thoughts, every time I think of the wedding.
Everybody had lovely words to say about you.

My sister has said she would love for you to do her renewal vows!
Thank you again and again.

Our ceremony was perfect.
More love poured out of your words than I ever could have hoped for. It was funny, engaging, emotional – something that I will remember for the rest of my life. I know everyone always says that – I don’t mean only the dress or the celebration of our wedding… I will always remember how I FELT, in that room, and that was all down to your words and the delivery.
Every single one of our guests were talking about it and how fabulous and personal it was.
We love you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sarah-Jayne is the kind of person that lights up a room whatever company she is in. Incredibly generous with an infectious warmth, Sarah-Jayne would be an asset to any event or celebration.

SJ is one of the most upbeat, positive and bubbly people I have ever met with an inexhaustible enthusiasm for everything.

So friendly and full of joy, SJ was made to be a celebrant!

There was no doubt in our minds that she would confidently perform a beautiful ceremony, which incorporated all the elements that we’d asked for. But SJ went above and beyond this, really making my Dad feel a part of the ceremony, helping my teenage sister write a poem which brought us all to tears, and coming up with special alternatives to the exchanging of rings (we were already legally married).

SJ’s words were beautiful and emotional, but she also brought in moments of humour, which perfectly suited us as a couple. She made the day incredibly special for us, and all our guests commented on what a fabulous job she’d done.

We would 100% recommend SJ every time!!

First impressions count in my book, and I knew from my first conversation with SJ that she was right for the job. Sarah-Jayne was polite, helpful, honest and not pushy, unlike some people I'd approached previously.

She advised us on everything, from a pep talk before everybody arrived, to discussing fine details to put us at ease. She also arranged on our behalf with the DJ at what time our special song should be played and arranged with the venue host about what time the guests should be stood in place so that when we made our entrance everything would run smoothly.

The personal service was exceptional, we discussed my expectations and SJ definitely exceeded them! I could email her or call her anytime and she would always reply promptly.

Sarah-Jayne does an astounding job and always puts the client needs first. 

I can't thank her enough for making my vow renewal ceremony as great as it was, she added the seriousness and the humour to make the day great!

Huge huge thanks for her magic, not just on the day, but in all her planning. She perfectly captured who Mohammed and I are, and designed the most perfect ceremony.

Well its been 6 weeks since we got married and finding it hard to find the words to describe the best and most perfect day ever!
My day started knowing I was going to marry my soul mate, and knowing that we would be celebrating our day with the 6 children whom we had watched and grow into young adults.
As we wanted the day to be just perfect we had done our homework researching and reading reviews on celebrants whom we would hope would make our day special.
We contacted Sarah-Jayne, and instantly knew we had made the right choice from her initial email to the ceremony on the day.  Sarah-Jayne was one of the friendliest and warm hearted people you could wish to meet.  She created an atmosphere that was both relaxed and personalised in every way, we played a game of Mr. and Mrs. which was one of the highlights of the day especially listening to all the guests laughing and enjoying the fun atmosphere that filled the room.
Sarah-Jayne is an exceptional person, she has a warm and friendly personality and has the ability to provide a day and a service that is both unique and exceptional in every detail.

She welcomed me with a warm gentle smile
She made my choice of a naming day
So worthwhile
She spoke with such articulated grace
Throughout the ceremony with
a smile on her face
She included every detail we spoke about
And provided beautiful poems aswell
She did a amazing job
This much I can tell
We laughed we giggled we all had fun
We were all at ease from the moment it begun
Those that had been to christening before
Said this was done in such a lovely way
And everybody said they enjoyed this special naming day

All our guests raved about our wonderful ceremony and it was only made possible with all Sarah's help and guidance. We got lucky that she was available on our wedding day and it was so easy to work with her. Sarah listened to all our suggestions and accommodated them into her planning. We would highly recommend Sarah's services to anyone else who needs a celebrant in the future. Anything to spread the word on how good Sarah is!

Sarah-Jayne created an absolutely perfect ceremony for our daughter. Everything she said and did made the ceremony what it was and I am so grateful to her for that. We had a lovely day which was made so perfect by Sarah-Jayne's massive contribution. The delivery of each word was said with pure sincerity and the day would not have been so magical without her presence, and I truly mean that. She clearly has a pure talent for what she does. 
If I have baby number 3 Sarah-Jayne will most certainly, undoubtedly be top of my list! I could not recommend her highly enough.

SJ took the time to create a service so unique and special to us that we now have a memorable day to be treasured forever.

I just want to say a huge thanks to you for conducting Ray’s funeral on Monday, and all the preparation you did before hand. 
You went above and beyond to comfort and guide me at this very distressing time. 
Your euphoric approach; your fresh and creative ideas all went towards making this occasion a very memorable and unforgettable one, a service that left an enduring legacy of his life.
You helped me plan a great tribute to Ray, but more than that you shared so freely concepts that I would never have thought about, such as handing out’ Forget Me Not’ seeds for mourners to take away and plant in Ray’s name. 
When it was difficult for his sister Wendy to stand up alone and pay tribute to Ray, you suggested two of us getting up together. That really worked and gave her the strength to so proudly speak those loving words about her brother. I couldn’t think clearly and would never have thought of those things. It immediately took the pressure off Wendy, she then felt much happier and stronger. 
Burning Sage candles and explaining to the congregation their meaning. How open minded you were and willing to create a tailor made service for Ray. You even dressed in the way you thought would have pleased Ray.
I could not have hoped for a better send off for him. 
Your attention to detail was just as he would have wanted it; awesome! 
How you presented yourself? Smart and elegant, a reflection of his style and wishes. Your perfect and eloquent delivery of Ray’s eulogy left everyone informed, amazed and truly touched by your heartfelt delivery.
Later at his wake you warmly greeted everyone, calmly listening and allowing them to share their stories and memories with you. You were the peoples loving advocate.
I could go on SJ, you put your heart and soul into Ray’s day, you were sensational. 
I am forever grateful to you for all these things.

Hi Sarah Jayne,

Just wanted to say many thanks again for the fabulous service you did for Dad on Monday.

So many people commented on how positive it was and a great tribute to Dad - even saying things like

“ best funeral I’ve been to !!”

So, thanks again - your contribution was a huge part of how well it all went.

They say that everything happens for a reason, and I have to agree.

Last month we had a last minute wedding crisis, and when faced with the possibility of having to cancel our special day (again) we reached out to Sarah Jayne to see if she was able to help officiate our day.

Despite having less than a week to plan for this, SJ stepped in, stepped up and came to the rescue.

We were blown away with her kindness, her words, and her love for what she does. Everyone loved her, and she very nearly stole the show! 

I can't thank SJ enough for what she did for myself and my husband and feel truly blessed that from a crisis came a celebrant, and that celebrant was SJ.

Sarah-Jayne was amazing. She made us both feel so at ease. The ceremony was very personal and you would have thought she had known us well.

She introduced a surprise fun element to the ceremony to make it less formal which suited us perfectly.

I wanted to tell you how much I LOVED our ceremony. I was not expecting to cry as much as I did, I think I stopped and started about 3 or 4 times.
Everything you said was so beautiful and I love how you told our story, you told it so well. I loved that you added some funny parts in there!
We really wanted a ceremony that was more personal to us and it was perfect. Even better than I had imagined!
So many of our guests were talking about how much they loved it and how they’ve never been to such an emotional and entertaining ceremony before. We’ve all been talking about it every day since!
So, so, so happy we chose you to do our ceremony, the most perfect choice.
You’re such a lovely, happy person, we would recommend you to everyone.
Thank you so much.

Our beautiful daughter’s naming day was so special thanks to SJ. 

Having never attended a naming ceremony, we had a really good chat with SJ before we booked her. She explained everything involved, and from that very first phone call we knew we wanted to go ahead. 

SJ has such a lovely way about her, so friendly, genuine and passionate about what she does. 

We received so many compliments about the day and how it was special and personal to us. 

She provided lots of support and encouragement when I wanted to do a special reading and helped with my nerves. I am so glad I did it. 

It was the perfect way to celebrate our beautiful daughter, and now we have the most special memories. 

Thank you SJ!
