Meet your Celebrant

I'm a fully qualified Celebrant based in the South West of England and I have the best job in the world.

Hi, I'm Jade-Marie.

I am an extremely organised and creative individual that would love to make your ceremony dreams and ideas a reality.

I come from a performance background and have worked as a Legal Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages for 4 years. I have loved being a Legal Registrar, but have always felt that the restraints and strict format that must be followed does not allow couples to have the level of personalisation that they deserve on their special day. Becoming a celebrant has enabled me to spread my creative wings and help couples make their day truly unique, and totally represent them from start to finish.

I have gained comprehensive knowledge of the legal process around legal weddings in my previous role as a Legal Registrar, having not just performed the legal ceremonies themselves but taking legal notice of marriage as well. Therefore I am poised to give you any advice and pass on any knowledge I can when looking to book your notice of marriage and legal ceremony with your local registration service as well as your celebrant ceremony with me.

Whatever ceremony you are planning, it’s important that you find the right person to be your Celebrant, someone you feel comfortable with and who you have confidence in to tell your story the way you want it to be told. I will be with you every step of the way from our initial consultation to the day itself, getting to know you your family and friends, listening to your ideas and creating a ceremony that is totally unique and totally you!

You read our vows beautifully in your lovely clear, calm voice and really understood our vision for a very quiet and intimate, family wedding in a romantic cave by the sea. You went above and beyond what we asked for and we can't recommend you highly enough.”

    “Jade-Marie did a fantastic job as the Celebrant for our wedding. She did her utmost to understand the journey me and Selima went on, from our first date to our adventures together filled with warmth, humour which felt tailor made for us. Everyone in attendance were both touched and all smiles throughout and the compliments after the ceremony was universal. I want to thank her for making our special day just a little more special.”

  • Mr & Mrs Ford-Wilding

    “We could not have been more pleased when Jade-Marie agreed to be our celebrant. From the moment she arrived at our venue, she was professional, calm and knew exactly what she was doing.

    Our ceremony was perfect thanks to Jade-Marie, she had made it personal to us, funny and relaxed - exactly what we were looking for. And our guests clearly agreed, as we have had so many comments on what a lovely ceremony it was.

    Jade-Marie - you were made to be a celebrant! Thank you so much for making our special day, even more special.”
