John Meachen, Celebrant.

Put simply, this is a civil role by someone who designs, performs and officiates formal ceremonies. By using a celebrant you have flexibility on theme, vows ( if you want them ), music and most other ingredients for the perfect occasion.

For naming days and weddings, your options are almost endless! You would need to go through the legal formalities, but in today's world this is simple and I can help you through the process. Venues can range from hotels to hilltops, let's explore the possibilities!

Usually I would want to begin your journey no less than 4 months before your big day. This will give you enough time for us to create a celebration together and to ensure the ceremony is exactly what you want.

Yes of course. I work very closely with your chosen funeral director to ensure the process is as comforting as possible at perhaps a very difficult time. End of life can evoke so many emotions. I will make arrangements to spend time with the family and loved ones prior to the day to understand how to create a personal and appropriate way to say goodbye - To reflect upon life's journey both through tears and laughter.

Every ceremony of every type is different, so the first stage is just to talk. It is hugely important to me to ensure that I am right for you before you choose to obligate. Please get in touch and we can talk through the process!
