Melanie Gail Celebrant Full Description
You may already have a clear idea of what you want or be starting entirely from scratch. I won’t tell you what you need; I am a celebrant who listens to what you want and helps you celebrate your perfect wedding.
Before becoming a wedding celebrant, I worked as an English language teacher, and as a Marketing Director, so I have a wealth of experience working with a diverse range of people from all walks of life . I’m a laid back type of gal and spend my time on the allotment or on the tennis course in Harrogate, or walking in the Dales in North Yorkshire.
I trained as a marriage celebrant with the City and Guilds course at Regent Academy and hold the Diploma in Celebrancy.
