Why choose me…?

The reason you should choose me is because I know that it is all about you, I never forget that it is YOUR Day, YOUR Ceremony that needs to reflect YOUR values, YOUR personalities and YOUR Uniqueness.

I really listen, digging as deep as you are comfortable with. Remember no idea is a weird idea, your only limit to your venue is your imagination be it on a beach, in a forest, the top of a hill, beside a Lake, in a garden or in a hotel. The venue does not have to be licensed. However, you may need to ask the permission of the landowner,

Your ceremony can be as religious or non-religious as you wish.

I will help you to choose poems, readings, and music but always remembering that it is YOUR Day, YOUR Ceremony.

The importance of Celebrancy

A celebrant plays a crucial role in bringing meaning, depth, and personalisation to any significant life event. Whether it's a wedding, a funeral, or a naming ceremony, a celebrant's role is to create a unique and meaningful experience that reflects the beliefs, values, and personalities of those involved.

Unlike traditional ceremonies, which often follow a set of predetermined rituals and scripts, a celebrant works closely with their clients to craft a Bespoke ceremony that truly reflects their wishes and vision. This personalised approach ensures that the ceremony becomes a meaningful and memorable event that celebrates the individuality of those involved. A skilled celebrant has the ability to create a safe and inclusive space where people can connect with each other and their shared experiences, and leave with a deeper sense of connection and meaning.

Who is Carol?

Hi my name is Carol Wadeson. I am a professionally trained and insured Civil Celebrant.

I trained with and am a member of The International College of Professional Celebrants which is the most respected organisation for Celebrant Training in the UK.

I am a widow with three grown up children , seven grandchildren and two mad cap Jackapoo dogs called Beryl and Mavis.

I have had a number of ‘People Facing’ jobs over the years finally deciding to become a Celebrant due to my love for people, finding out what makes them tick and what an ideal Ceremony looks and feels like to them and whether it be a Wedding, Funeral, Vow Renewal, Naming Ceremony or any other Ceremony I offer ensuring that the day is as special and unique as they are.

Providing you with a ceremony or service that you will remember for all of the right reasons is my number one priority.

It’s all about Love ! , whether it be celebrating your love as a couple, welcoming a new member of the family or honouring your loved one at their funeral. It would be a privilege to create a unique event that would be remembered forever.
