Jane was a wonderful celebrant for Dad’s service. From the moment the family met with Jane she made it clear that her job was to give Dad a service that was a celebration of his life and that’s what we got. So many people have said what a wonderful service it was. She brought love, humour and grace to a sad time for us all. Thank you Jane.Posted on Google![]()

We absolutely love working alongside Jane at Willow Bespoke Ceremonies. Her calm, friendly nature puts couples at ease straight away, and her ceremonies are always so personal, meaningful, and full of love. It’s clear how much care she puts into every detail – a true professional with a beautiful touch. Highly recommend. – The Cock O'BartonPosted on Google![]()

Jane was the best part of our wedding. We chose Jane to be the celebrant at our wedding this summer at Hafod Farm. She created the most perfect, intimate ceremony. She somehow got to know us so well and create the ceremony I was picturing in my mind, better in fact. The script she created and extra rituals carried out made the day the best of our lives and unforgettable. Truly amazing at what she does, we can't recommend her enough. I will never forget that ceremony, thank you Jane. Tolly & Terri xPosted on Google![]()

My dad recently passed away and the funeral directors contacted Jane on our behalf as we required a celebrant for my dad’s Celebration of Life service. They couldn’t have picked a better person for us and from the moment we met Jane, it was clear that she would help us to create a beautiful service for my dad that captured some of our favourite memories and his humorous personality perfectly, along with including a couple of poems that my dad would have loved. Not only was Jane the perfect celebrant, but her kind and caring personality really helped us through this difficult time.Posted on Google![]()

Jane provided an amazing wedding ceremony on our favourite beach! We loved every second. Jane thought of every detail and kindly helped us throughout the entire process, always readily available to aid us with our vows or any questions we had for the day! It was a truly lovely experience and I would highly recommend as she will go above and beyond for you to have a magical day! Thank you Jane XxxPosted on Google![]()

We can't recommend Jane enough. After being let down by another celebrant and feeling disappointed by the lack of care or direction from our funeral director, Jane stepped in and totally changed our experience. She was compassionate, caring, responsive and dedicated to help us design and deliver the service we wanted. She massively reduced our stress, and her dedication to reading some Welsh for us truly gave us the service that reflected our loved one. Thank you so much Jane xxPosted on Google![]()

I can highly recommend Jane for her work. She spoke at my Dads cremation service and helped our family at a difficult time by being sympathetic and highly professional at all times. In my opinion she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Many thanks from our family once again.Posted on Google![]()

Jane is a skilled and sensitive celebrant who coordinated a beautiful personal ceremony for our brother Clive’s funeral. She spent time talking with us about Clive and when she opened the ceremony by talking about his life, she spoke, as if she had known him personally, with real affection, humour and compassion and set the scene perfectly for our own eulogies that followed. She supported us in our preparations and on the day and I would recommend her services to anyone planning an important event for family or friends.

Frequently asked questions
The questions couples and families ask most. Something else on your mind? Just ask.
What does a celebrant do?
A celebrant writes and leads ceremonies that mark life’s milestones – weddings, vow renewals, baby namings, funerals and celebrations of life. Unlike a registrar, I’m not tied to set wording or licensed venues, so your ceremony can be as personal as you like, and can include religious or spiritual elements if you wish.
Is a celebrant-led wedding legally binding?
Not on its own. In England and Wales you complete the legal marriage or civil partnership separately at a register office (fees and appointment options vary by council), then celebrate with the ceremony you really want. I’ll explain how the two fit together.
Where can we hold our ceremony?
Almost anywhere – a beach, a woodland walk, a farm, a hotel, a marquee or your own garden. North Wales has stunning locations and I’m happy to help you choose one.
Which areas do you cover?
I’m based in North Wales and cover the whole of North Wales, as well as the North West of England.
How much does a celebrant cost?
Wedding packages are £600 (Bronze), £650 (Silver) and £700 (Gold). Vow renewals and baby naming ceremonies are £400, and funerals and celebrations of life are £250. If your ceremony doesn’t fit a package, ask me for a bespoke quote.
Can we include rituals or religious elements?
Yes. Handfasting, unity candles, sand ceremonies and family traditions can all be woven in, as can religious or spiritual readings and blessings.
Can you include Welsh in our ceremony?
Yes. I have a good knowledge of the Welsh language and can include Welsh poetry and readings in your ceremony. Ceremonies are led in English – I don’t offer fully bilingual ceremonies.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular dates, especially summer weekends, go early, so it’s best to get in touch as soon as you have a date in mind.
