Unique ceremonies - created for you

BY JANINE DAVIES

Welcome!

Hello, I’m Janine, an Independent Celebrant covering Lancashire, Yorkshire and the surrounding areas.

You’re probably here because you’re curious about celebrant-led ceremonies, so please allow me to explain a little more.

Celebrant-led ceremonies are a fresh, modern alternative to traditional services, offering you complete freedom, creativity and personal meaning. It’s really all about celebrating life’s moments in a way that feels truly authentic to you and your loved ones.

Whatever the occasion, your ceremony is surely the most important part of the day, so why settle for something that is a standard format or lacking in flexibility? Together we can create a ceremony filled with love, laughter, happy tears and make it a real show-stopper, or we can prepare the most wonderful and respectful tribute to your very special person.

If this sounds like something that resonates with you, please read on, I’d love to work with you.

why choose me as

Your celebrant?

I like to think of myself as warm and down-to-earth, with a natural gift for storytelling and connection – a true ‘Lancashire lass’.

After a long and established career in healthcare, I had my calling to the role of celebrant – I felt the need to continue making a difference in people’s lives, but in a wonderfully creative way.

Friendly, thoughtful and deeply personal, my ceremonies are designed to reflect you and your loved ones – your story, your family, your love. Whether it’s a wedding, a celebration of life, or a family milestone like a naming ceremony or vow renewal, I will put you at the heart of your occasion.

Every detail of your day matters. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me too.

Any style

Whether you want to stay close to tradition or do things completely differently, it’s your choice. You are unique, and your ceremony should be as individual as you are.

Any content

With me there are no template scripts and no restrictions – just a completely bespoke ceremony shaped around your story, your values and your vision.

Anywhere

Your celebrant-led event can take place literally anywhere – from woodlands to back gardens, beaches to barns, the location can reflect exactly who you are.

“It was the best decision ever to have a celebrant led wedding. We didn’t realise how much flexibility there would be and how we could make our day so special and unique to us. There was laughter and happy tears in abundance throughout the day, and our guests absolutely loved it. We can’t recommend Janine highly enough. She made our day fun and so incredibly memorable.”
