What do I do?

I conduct all types of ceremonies from funeral and memorial to vow renewal with handfasting.

 A calm, grounding presence, words that sound like you and ceremony that feels powerful, not a performance.

 A safe space for your love, your story, your way of being.

Ceremonies in wild gardens, forests, beaches, and candlelit barns. Some with tears. Some with laughter.

With crystals, herbs, music, handfasting ribbons, and deeply personal touches.

Each one is different. Each one is sacred.

This is about holding space.

About crafting something that reflects your truth, not tradition for tradition’s sake.

About helping you feel safe, seen, and celebrated — exactly as you are.

I create ceremonies that:
  • Are spiritual but not religious
  • Include rituals, symbolism, nature-based or ancestral elements
  • Are neurodivergent-safe, and built around your values
  • Honour complexity — joy, grief, humour, depth — with warmth and care
Everything I write is for you
Everything we do is collaborative.
And nothing is done just because “that’s what people usually do.”

I offer a free, no-pressure chat to see if we vibe. 
Come as you are. Weirdness welcome.

 If you'd like me to be part of your occasion - Heres how it goes....

 Initial chat- 
We can find out if we are a good fit and what you are all about.  
If its a wedding you might have some ideas already to share - cant wait to hear them. You might want to pick a package or go totally bespoke. You might want to meet up before deciding so we can get into some details or see if our energy matches up.

Our Meeting:
 During our chat, I’ll get to know you and your story, take notes, and discuss your ideas and wishes for the ceremony. I’m here to listen, ask questions, and help bring your vision to life. Once we have had a chat and think we might have the same vibe you can decide what package you want or go tooattally besoke and I can give you a fixed price quote.

Creating Your Ceremony: 
I’ll then write a bespoke ceremony based on our conversation. I’ll share the draft with you so you can review it at your own pace. You’re welcome to suggest changes, and we’ll refine it until you’re completely happy with the final version. 

Support with Readings and Music: 
I can also write or provide suggestions for readings, poems, and music to help make the ceremony even more special.

On the Day: 
I’ll arrive early to make sure everything runs smoothly, because we have got to know each other I will be a friendly face to calm any nerves! 

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to hear from you
Weddings and vow renewal

You don’t come looking for a celebrant because everything is simple. You come because something meaningful is happening — and you want it done properly. Whether you’re celebrating love, marking a life, or standing at a turning point, you deserve a ceremony that feels honest, personal, and held with care. My role is to walk alongside you — calmly, kindly, and without judgement — and to create a ceremony that feels unmistakably yours. Your wedding ceremony shouldn’t feel like a script you’ve borrowed. It should sound like you. I work with couples who want warmth, laughter, honesty — and permission to do things their own way. Whether that’s traditional with a twist, spiritual without being rigid, or quietly rebellious, I’ll help you create a ceremony that feels grounding, joyful, and real. On the day itself, you won’t be worrying about what comes next. You’ll be present — because someone calm and capable is holding the space for you.
Your Trusted Funeral Celebrant
Creating Beautiful and Meaningful Farewells
When someone dies, words often feel heavy — or impossible to find. 
My role is to help you make sense of what needs to be said, without pressure to perform grief in any particular way. 

Together, we create a service that honours the person who has died — truthfully, gently, and without pretending they were anything other than human. There is no “right” way to grieve here. Just space to remember, reflect, and say goodbye in a way that feels respectful and real. 

People often tell me they feel calmer once we’ve spoken. 
That matters — because ceremonies sit at emotional crossroads. 
I bring steadiness, clarity, and compassion to moments that matter deeply. 
I listen carefully, speak honestly, and hold space without rushing or smoothing over what’s real. 
You don’t need to know exactly what you want when you come to me. 
We’ll find it together.

I offer the writing and conducting of Wedding, Vow Renewal, Naming and Funeral ceremonies.

Testimonials

     

 A celebrant of character, wit and charm Sheryl provided a very special and professional service for our ceremony. It was unusual in being held inside an ancient stone circle high on the moors. Despite that she rose to the challenge and researched the area thoroughly, leading to an appropriate, informative and entertaining ceremony, with the right balance of humour and dignity. She worked out how to include and involve several other friends and family, including two young girls who were ring bearers and flower girls, and some more mature friends who got to be bridesmaids, torch bearers and drum beaters, meaning everyone had a role to play and felt included in, and significant to, the very bespoke ceremony. She carried out her duties beautifully, and then socialised with everyone and made us all feel special. When she left we felt like she was an old friend and all waved goodbye with a genuine warmth and gratitude.

 We asked Sheryl to organise our annual Handfasting Ceremony in Derbyshire as we live overseas and she organised everything seamlessly. We arrive jetlagged the day before the ceremony and everything ran super smoothly. Highly recommend Sheryl for a low stress ceremony
