Creating personal and heartfelt ceremonies is just the thing that Nicola of Mrs Jones, Celebrant has a talent for. Storytelling is at the core of her ceremonies – but always with sincerity, warmth and a spark of creative wit – never overshadowing the couple, and always putting them front and centre. We think that feeling comfortable with your celebrant is key – you’ll be working with them revealing your life story and perhaps details of your life that you might not reveal to other vendors. And a celebrant who will honour that and craft a ceremony that is just perfect for you is something that you will treasure forever – because after all – they lead you into your married life together.

And Mrs Jones’ five most important tips?

  • Don’t think of the ceremony as the bit you just ‘need to get done’
  • Don’t do things (or leave things out) just to please others
  • If you’re nervous about standing up and being the centre of attention, then focus on each other. The others will fade away
  • Consider getting your photos taken before the ceremony – then you can join your party straight away
  • Take a moment to yourselves after you’ve signed the paperwork to take it all in. Once you go back to your guests after the ceremony, you’re very much public property.
