Award Winning Kent Wedding Celebrant

WHAT IS A CELEBRANT WEDDING?

If you looking for a modern, totally bespoke humanist style wedding ceremony with an Independent Kent Wedding Celebrant - I'm Justine and I may well be your ideal Wedding Celebrant - I officiate ceremonies in beautiful locations across Kent, Sussex, London and the neighbouring areas of the South East.

I can create a modern bespoke version of a traditional ceremony - it will be special and individual - your options are limitless!! My ceremonies are full of love and smiles but they are not saccharine, sickly sweet or twee - that is not my style - I will tell your story with funny stories woven through the script and present your ceremony in a way that makes you both feel comfortable and at ease. 

Perhaps you would like some elements of a cultural service or create a mixed faith ceremony; maybe you want something radically different; do you want an unusual location - a hot air balloon, beach, barn, vineyard or beside a castle lake? Kent, Sussex and our surrounding counties have so many beautiful locations for a wedding - some of them quite hidden!
 
We can include your much loved pets or children in the service - they can have special roles which will be truly memorable (and will create some amazing photo opportunities!)

​A celebrant-led wedding ceremony can include readings, songs or poems that say something about you both and your story; the service can also include rituals such as handfasting or wine blending or cocktail making - we have so many options to create a ceremony that is perfect for you as a couple and beautiful memories for everyone involved.

Let me craft a bespoke fun wedding script for you which incorporates everything that is important to you as a couple.

Legalities:
​
Your celebrant ceremony is the beautiful exchange of personal vows and the celebration of your wedding with no rules, no restrictions on where it takes place and no time limitations.

The legal admin needs to take place in the registry office - so you will just need to book a simple ‘Registration of Marriage’ appointment to make the appropriate legal declarations with a minimum of two witnesses and a registrar. This can be done the days prior to the celebrant-led wedding or even weeks or months before (it can even take place after) - it provides you with the legal certificate to prove you are married in the eyes of the law. 
​Your celebrant wedding ceremony itself will be totally bespoke and exactly what you want  - give me a call to find out current availability.

​How it works:
  • ​Introductory consultation meeting with both of you and me - your Wedding Celebrant - let's talk and ensure we are an amazing fit for each other - this can be a virtual meeting or face to face.
  • Have your own personal, online private ceremony portal created just for you - so that all our ceremony plans are in one place and therefore easy to find.
  • All my processes are created with efficiency and ease in mind - I want to make your life easier!
  • We can meet at the venue and talk about your dreams and throw around ideas - I will get to know your story as a couple and I then write a totally bespoke script. 
  • You will be fully involved in approving the final script.
  • A rehearsal before the wedding can be arranged.
  • On the big day, I will arrive nice and early to ensure everything is set up correctly - so you can thoroughly enjoy the ceremony - stress free. I will work with your photographer and videographer to ensure your ceremony shots are stunning.
  • You will receive a beautiful presentation folder with your vows, words, song choices for you to reminisce and enjoy.
  • Go and enjoy your married life together! You'll have memories galore and photos good enough for a glossy magazine!

SOME OF MY RECENT AMAZING FEEDBACK
WEDDING | OCT 2021 | THE SECRET GARDEN 
Justine made this an incredibly easy experience for us from the get go! She was able to get to know us and support us to write a personal, funny and romantic ceremony. Everyone at the wedding commented on how incredible the ceremony was and how much of a difference a unique speech made. It really was like having another friend with us on the day. I cannot recommend her enough as we are over the moon with the ceremony we had on the day.
WEDDING | SEPT 2021 | ELMLEY NATURE RESERVE
Justine held our wedding ceremony and we absolutely loved it. We hadn’t planned on a celebrant ceremony but due to registrars being unavailable we had to and we’re so glad as it was so personal and perfect for us. Justine is brilliant – so nice and very organised and communicative. She took into account our personalities and created a personal and funny ceremony that included handfasting. We found that the process before the day allowed us to reflect on our relationship more than a legal ceremony would too, which was an unexpected bonus. Overall would 100% recommend working with Justine x
WEDDING | AUG 2021 | BRADBOURNE HOUSE
Justine wow what can we say, thank you so much for being the cherry on top of our Big Day, you had us and our guests in awe with your ceremony, you hit the nail on the head with us and everyone was saying how amazing your script was, thank you for making us laugh, cry and for capturing our love story so well x
WEDDING | AUG 2021 | THE QUEEN'S HOUSE, GREENWICH
Upon meeting Justine for the first time we instantly knew she had to be part of our day. Finding Justine with only 6 weeks before our big day, she found no task too difficult and made each part of the build up to the day special for us. Justine has an amazing ability to understand couples and create the perfect ceremony! She works in a clear and coherent way that makes it easy for all parties and takes the stress completely away. She brought ideas that worked for us and demonstrated not only her understand of us and our day but her experience. We couldn’t thank Justine enough and recommend her to anyone. THANK YOU x Sophie & Lewis x
WEDDING | AUG 2021 | HADLOW MANOR
Justine was a fantastic addition to our wedding party. We met her during covid times, as we had been married in a private ceremony and wanted a big celebration later. From the word go, she listened carefully, asked lots of questions and recognised the importance of all the small details. She couldn’t do enough for us and truly went above and beyond. Justine created a perfect ceremony which truly reflected us. We were so pleased to have her as part of our wedding day. When she was “pinged”, she kept us calm and organised and organised a fantastic stand in celebrant, though we were (of course) devastated not to have her with us. She kept in touch with us throughout the day and following, to make sure we were OK and things had gone to plan. Soon we will be welcoming a baby and if we decide to have a naming ceremony, we wouldn’t even think about asking anyone else to conduct it. Thank you Justine.
