beautiful, bespoke ceremonies
welcome
Hello, my name is Paul and I'm a Professional Civil Celebrant based near Saffron Walden in Essex.
I provide beautiful, bespoke ceremonies in East Anglia, London and overseas. Trained by the International College of Professional Celebrants, I am dedicated to creating and delivering unique and meaningful ceremonies that make memories of your most important moments.
I am married to Anne, and we have a wonderful daughter (now adult) Alisha. Our home has two elderly cats, Lola and Maisie. I have been fortunate enough to have had a successful career in talent acquisition. However, as I approached my "third age" I wanted to give more back. My parents were in the entertainment business, and they gave me love, a sense of style and the ability to communicate. We have two ears, two eyes and one mouth for a reason. I've seen Celebrants conduct the funerals of my parents and weddings of friends and knew that would be my vocation. The sky's the limit with what you can do.
why choose me?
Whether it's a wedding or vow renewal, a naming or honouring the life of a loved one, I'll turn your ideas into a personal and unique ceremony for you to cherish. I'm an excellent listener and will be able to help you visualise your ideas.
