Sussex Celebrants

We cannot say thank you enough for the most perfect wedding day! From start to finish the whole process was just so much fun. You genuinely gave the most beautiful ceremony and so many of my family remarked on how special it was. Heartfelt thanks. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to my friends. 

I approached Gillian in regards to seeking some advice on my wedding, she was so professional and knowledgeable. When searching for wedding planning you can be bombarded with so much information that it can become so unbearable and a lot of venues you have to pay quite a lot on top of the overall hire. I asked Gillian to explain her services and was so relieved to have a personal response and the fees were so much more affordable. Such a lovely lady. I hope that once we do confirm our wedding date Gillian will be available to support us with our day.

We very much enjoyed our naming service for our little boy and just wanted to express our sincere gratitude. You made such a great effort to involve everyone and make it very special. We all had such a great day. Thank you.

Laura was a constant support to us throughout the whole process of us burying our dad. From helping is to find venues to checking in as much as she could! I was never worried about asking questions or needing answers because Laura was always there happy to answer and provide some light on a sad situation. In such a dark time I’m glad we had someone that made is feel that connection to dad, asking us what he was like and how he talked and stories from families. It made us laugh on those dark days.

Laura was incredibly supportive in our prep meeting and put together a beautiful eulogy to celebrate my father’s life. She guided us through the service prep sensitively and was always available for any help we needed. The service really meant a lot to us, thank you Laura for making it so smooth for us.

Could not have asked for a better person than Laura to guide us through the very difficult and overwhelming process of arranging a service for our loved one. Laura was kind, compassionate and patient and was always on hand to answer any questions or offer guidance. We were made to feel comfortable and listened to every step of the way. Absolutely brilliant and professional service from start to finish.

Having never been to a naming ceremony, let alone organised one, I was very grateful to Laura to find her when I did.

She immediately put me at ease with her lovely friendly personality (it felt like I'd known her for years). She really took the time to get to know my family, making sure everyone felt included and wrote the most beautiful bespoke ceremony. I couldn't have hope for better.

We have had so many lovely comments from friends and family since, saying how much they enjoyed our daughters special day. Thank you Laura xxx.

We only found Laura 8 weeks before our wedding after a false start with another celebrant who struggled to understand what we were looking for. 

When we met Laura we both had an immediate sense that we could see her being part of our day.

After our initial meeting Laura immediately demonstrated a clear understanding of our vision.

The end result was perfectly pitched and scripted ceremony which set the tone for a relaxed and fun day. We are so grateful to have found Laura and for her to have expedited the script prep in short order, and found her very organised, prompt replies and personable throughout the process.

We would very very warmly recommend Laura.!

We were so pleased to have been recommended to Laura to carry out my Mum's service. Laura was so thoughtful, patient and attentive and I knew from the start that we were in good hands. It was like talking to a friend.

Laura guided us through the planning of the service and choreographed the many tributes beautifully which was no easy task as so many family members wanted to contribute.

On the day she ensured that everything ran smoothly at the crematorium so we could just concentrate of the celebration of my amazing Mum's long life which made a difficult day bearable. Our heartfelt thanks Laura. Mum would have been delighted with her sendoff. 

Book Laura Now!!

Laura performed our wedding ceremony for us. We debated whether to have a celebrant or a friend so the ceremony, but in the end we we so pleased we found Laura! She is so warm, friendly and professional.

She really knew what she was doing and took control of the ceremony so we could feel relaxed knowing everything was in good hands. She worked really quickly writing the script and it was beautiful.

I highly recommend Her! Thanks for making our ceremony so special Laura, it was beautiful. 

What a wonderful day! We were pretty nervous about being the centre of attention but we knew we wanted the day to be relaxed and friendly. Laura was calming and fun and spent the time getting to know us and what we wanted and making sure we were comfortable. She is down to earth, friendly and genuine.

Thank you for being a part of our special day and sharing it with us. 

Laura was a wonderful Celebrant for the funeral of my 103 year old uncle who was much loved by the whole family. She was understanding and very sympathetic to our wishes for a simple but lovely service celebrating a remarkable life. Laura was superb at the ceremony ensuring that we all left with happy memories of our uncle and friend. 

Laura was absolutely amazing, we cannot recommend her enough! She was so friendly and kind and went above and beyond to make sure the ceremony went smoothly.

Laura took the time to get to know us in the weeks before our wedding, meaning the ceremony words were tailored to us and our story, making it memorable and meaningful. The ceremony was something we will never forget. We had so many guests tell us the ceremony was the best part of the day which says it all. Thank you so much Laura!

Everyone needs a Laura! Thank you so much for creating the most perfect ceremony for us. The attention to detail, kindness and love is what made it beautiful and bespoke.

From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you!

With all our love,

"The Russells"

From the first moment we met Laura she put us at ease and explained in detail the procedure that would take place on our wedding day. The attention to detail and the wedding itself went off very smoothly and even our 4 year old grandson managed to deliver both of our weddings perfectly under the watchful eye of Laura.

Laura gave a very good caring and personal ceremony and added on occasions with moments of humour.

It could not have been better. Thanks Laura.

EXCEPTIONAL FROM START TO FINISH!

Its a daunting task organising the perfect funeral. So I count myself lucky to have found Laura to guide me through the process and advise me on all the necessary steps.

Everything was undertaken with precision and attention to detail, with nothing being too much trouble. She contacted my grandmothers best friend of 75 years, now in her 90's to make sure every detail was correct and also found some lovely memories on the adventures they got up to as youngsters, which made me smile.

Part of our family is slightly dysfunctional and Laura took the stress away by making contact and liaising with them.

I shall be singing her praises to anyone in need of the services she offers.

Thanks you Laura x

Laura was an incredible celebrant. Her calm and thoughtful and sincere approach helped make the planning of my husband funeral a little less painful. The unobtrusive support she gave before and during the funeral was very welcome and the service she delivered was respectful, dignified and everything we hoped it would be.

A Gentle Celebrant

Laura is an engaging, empathetic celebrant. She was keen to meet and I felt immediately at ease. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services. 

I cannot recommend Laura enough for the organisation of my late Aunt's funeral service. As we had already decided to have a Celebration of Life - Laura was the perfect choice. From the first moment that contact was made she was available for any questions and queries and more importantly Laura suggested things for us to think of to make the service more personal. 

She was efficient as well as empathetic throughout it all. The feedback from everyone who either attended the service or watched it live from the webcast was fantastic and I personally have nothing but prise for Laura and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. Laura would definitely be my first choice is I ever organise another service.

Thank you Laura for taking the stress out of an already very upsetting time in my life. xxx

Laura was fantastic throughout the advance of and on the day of Mum's funeral. She kindly agreed to meet with us in advance to run through all the information, which was very much appreciated. Laura was kind, caring and professional throughout and as someone else suggested 5 stars. She turned the information I sent her in a Word document and information we discussed on Microsoft Teams into a lovely eulogy and managed to fit in all our song choices. I cannot thank Laura enough for her warmth and kindness and for making a difficult time easier.

Mum would have loved it!

You only get one chance to say goodbye to your mum and to be honest we weren't really thinking straight when our Mum died and we certainly didn't have a clue where to start arranging her "send off".

Laura gently helped us bring form and shape to our ideas and also came up with some cracking ideas of her own that we would never have thought possible for a funeral. 

The service was so free of convention, so full of joy, so...what we wanted. Mum would have loved it!. Thank you x. 

Throughout the whole process of organising our late fathers funeral, Laura was and is absolutely superb! Thoroughly recommend and made things so much easier with her warm and welcoming manner. We cannot thanks Laura enough for her professionalism and if there was an option for a 6 star rating, that still wouldn't be enough. 

Thank you again Laura.

I cant thank Laura enough for making mums funeral such a memorable occasion. Laura is a lovely lady, very professional and caring. She went the extra mile to arrange for my little dog to attend mums service. Mum's service was so touching and heartfelt. I had many comments afterwards on how well Laura had conducted the service like she had always known mum.

Thank you Laura, from the bottom of my heart for everything.

I doubt any other celebrant spends as much time and effort in preparation and delivery as Laura. She has such a wonderful warmth and calmness. Laura really takes time to really get to know you and your loved one and delivers a beautiful service.

I would highly recommend Laura to anyone needing a celebrant.

5* Celebrant Service

Laura had conducted a funeral for a friend a few weeks ago and blew me away with the way she made the experience such a peaceful one. So I had no hesitation in Contacting her when I needed a celebrant to conduct a unique wedding service for a bride to be and her wife to be.

This was unique for many reasons; it was taking place at the Martlets Hospice as the mother of the brides was receiving end of life care. It was also a wedding celebration for the poorly family member to be a part of as the official wedding doesn't take place until later this month.  It was also happening with just 4 days notice. Laura was wonderful from the moment that I contacted her.! She met the brides via a zoom call and was able to design a very special and personalised service in just a couple of days. Her words couldn't have been more perfect and she conducted the ceremony with such a calm and caring manor whilst also ensuring there was an element of joyous celebration too. She really did make the whole occasion one to remember and we will be forever grateful to Laura for giving us such a special memory. I speak for the whole family when I say we couldn't recommend her enough.

Perfect Celebration of Life for my Sister

Laura, 

Thank you deeply for your heartfelt and professionalism in delivering the order of service for my sister Sharon (Shaz). Your compassion was heartfelt, you did our family proud.

From the time spent with my Mother and Niece in hearing stories and anecdotes. To putting together a wonderful eulogy for Shaz.

Thank you for your support and helping us say goodbye on what was an emotionally difficult day.

Ryan, (big brother) x

I cant praise Laura enough. She was very focused on making the sad occasion poignant, tailored and as stress free for us as possible. She guided us through the process over a number of online meetings and structured a lovely service on the beach as we bade farewell to my brother. She made a sad situation bearable with her help.

Thanks Laura.

Wonderful Eulogy Support

Laura was incredibly supportive in our prep meeting and put together a beautiful eulogy to celebrate my father's life. She guided us through the service prep sensitively and was always available for any help we needed. The service really meant a lot to us.

Thank you Laura for making it so smooth for us.
