Looking for a ceremony that feels truly you—joyful, heartfelt, and full of meaning? I'm Dawn, a creative and caring Wedding Celebrant based in North Yorkshire, crafting beautifully personalised ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique story. Whether it’s romantic and relaxed, a little quirky, or full of laughter (and maybe a few happy tears), I take time to get to know you as a couple so that I can bring your love story to life in the most memorable way.
With a friendly, relaxed approach, I find out how you met, what makes you tick, and what matters most to you as a couple. It’s this connection that allows me to write and deliver ceremonies that are full of heart, completely bespoke, and feel like you from beginning to end. Whether you're planning a countryside celebration, a stylish elopement, or a fun-filled festival-style wedding, I will help bring your vision to life with creativity and care.
Working with me means that you won’t get a copy and paste script. You’ll get a ceremony filled with laughter, happy tears, meaningful moments, and personal touches—from your story, to your vows, to any rituals or readings you’d like to include (pets, kids, and surprises welcome!). My ceremonies are inclusive, modern, and totally flexible—perfect for couples who want a wedding day that reflects who they are and what they love.
My couples say it felt like a friend was standing up there with them. I achieve that because I have a warm and caring personality, I make genuine connections, and have a big heart for love stories of all kinds.
Probably my own! We did everything in a way that we wanted to and threw the rule book out of the window! We've been married 9 years now but people still talk about what a relaxes and special day it was.
Warm, heartfelt, creative, personal, uplifting.
That having took a leap of faith to retrain in my 50s I now have a successful business as a Celebrant and get to share in couples most joyful moments.
Your ceremony, your way. Don't be swayed by trends or what you think people expect. Do it your way, in your style and create a day that you want.
Couples who involve their children in part of the ceremony. When you already have young children it's more than just about the couple coming together, it's about officially bringing a family together and seeing the children take an active part warms my heart every time.
I start with an initial no-obligation call so that couples can ask questions and see if we are a good fit. It's important that you feel a connection with your Celebrant. Then once the booking is confirmed I provide couples with my questionnaires to help me create their ceremony and I meet with them either in person or virtually approximately 3 or 4 times so that we really get to know each other. You get to have as many redrafts of your script until you are completely happy with it. Then on the day, I'll be there at least one hour before to ensure that everything is ready and set up so things run smoothly. I'll be on hand to calm any nerves and keep your guests happy.
A flash mob for as the bride walked down the aisle! It worked a treat and all the guests ended up joining in!
Plan, plan and plan! I am a super organised person which probably drives my husband nuts! But I like to plan for every eventuality and be prepared for the unexpected!
