“WOW Helen, WOW! You were the rock to our rock n’ roll wedding!”
“Helen went out of her way to ensure every aspect of our wedding ceremony was so personal, hilarious and tear-jerking all at the same time. By the end of it everyone felt they knew our story, they could see our love and it was all so cleverly composed by Helen. She delicately balanced what is tradition and what we as a couple wanted to make it our own.”

The work of a Celebrant is extremely enriching and rewarding in many ways.
For me, it is more than a job. It is a vocation. I feel privileged to be able to captivate the people who are present on a wedding day with stories filled with love and am honoured to create and deliver beautiful bespoke tributes for funerals, memorials and celebrations of life, which are filled with gratitude and respect.
“Helen, we honestly can’t thank you enough. You won’t believe the number of people who told us afterwards that ours was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. You made it so personal and special. It goes without saying that we will recommend you to EVERYONE in the future!”

My Story
In 2010, with a professional background in managing communication strategies within large organizations, I took a leap of faith in order to launch my own wedding planning and celebrancy business. Since then, I have created and delivered many beautiful bespoke wedding ceremonies in a variety of settings including beaches, fields, woodlands, stately homes, country houses, marquees and private gardens.
In 2012, I was head hunted by Television Presenter, Sarah Beeny who at that time owned Rise Hall, a stunning Grade II stately home and wedding venue in East Yorkshire. At Rise Hall, I was responsible for its transition from a newly renovated property to a multiple award winning wedding venue.
In 2017, with a great success story behind me, I moved on from Rise Hall in order to focus on my own endeavors. Since then, I have pursued a career as a professional Event Planner and Celebrant and have had the pleasure of designing and co-ordinating many truly unforgettable weddings, baby namings, funerals, memorials and celebrations of life.
“Helen, I wanted to write and express my heartfelt gratitude for the way in which you have helped and supported us as a family. Your eulogy, written with such an intuitive sensitivity made me realise how fragile life is and how important it is to live our lives to the full, surrounded by the people we love. Although you never met Mum, I know she would have liked you - your strength, your warmth, your compassion and sense of fun. Thank you!”

Whilst I absolutely adore my work, there are other things I also love to do. I live in the lovely East Yorkshire village of South Dalton with my husband Mark and our four legged family members, a pony named Belle and an adorable little dog, Percy.
When I’m not busy working, you’ll most likely find me clip clopping around the countryside astride Belle or in my favourite hiking boots stomping along a footpath with Mark and Percy.
Although my work involves a great deal of travel, I predominantly work from home where the coffee is strong, the red wine has legs and the music is often a lot louder than it should be!
