It’s Not All About Me…

its not all about me but this bit is

Hi, I’m Michelle, (she / her).

It’s not all about me, but this bit is…

I’m based in North Essex, but originally hail from the Midlands and am proud to have retained some of the mother tongue (Brummie).

As well as being a multi award-winning celebrant, I am also a celebrant trainer and mentor and I love sharing a good old love story with anyone who will listen.

I am an eclectic Pagan and love to create nature inspired outdoor sustainable handfasting ceremonies, celebrating the Sabbats and other special days in the Pagan calendar.

I am owned (because, let’s face it we all know our pets own us) by 3 gorgeous ‘wigglebutt’ dogs. Oooh…. have you thought about including your pets into your day? There are a lot of ways you can, I can tell you more…

I love Marvel, fantasy and sci fi films.

I LOVE my Lego building.

I’m obsessed with Lucy & Yak dungarees, DM boots and Tatty Devine jewellery.

I am an accredited member of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance (SWA), you can see my sustainability statement here. Being an accredited member means that I have actively worked on sustainability within my business and also at home.

If a sustainable ceremony is important to you too you can take a look at the conscious couples calculator here to work out how you too can place sustainability at the heart of your day.

My road to celebrancy began in 2011 when my husband, who was a wedding photographer, wanted me to go and work with him as his 2nd shooter. But I really knew my limits ( I can’t take a photo!) and I knew even back then that my talents lie elsewhere. I love creating ceremony and holding space for people, so writing and delivering a personally crafted script, is where my heart lies.

‘Funky’ was born as a result, and when I fully embraced my fun loving and quirky side I realised there are people just like me out there who want to express their passions and inner nerd safely with like-minded people.

Follow me on my socials to get a feel of the kind of celebrant I am, how I work and what I can offer you.

I create interactive, memorable and distinctive ceremonies with a definite eco twist for likeminded people.

All of my scripts are built from scratch, and they all revolve around you… your story… your loves and passions and everything else. Telling your story is MY passion and it will be an epic retelling of love in all of its multifaceted and multicoloured glory.

Am I your kind of celebrant? Then what are you waiting for? Let’s have a natter and find out why it’s not all about me, but how it IS all about YOU. Let’s work together to create your own kind of magic and bring the words off a page to life.

Award Winning Celebrant

Let’s face it, I know not everyone is bothered about whether your an award winner or not, but for me entering, participating in and ultimately winning an award helps validate the importance of what I do as a celebrant. It is an honour to represent my industry in an ever changing world and ensuring families and couples get the ceremony they are entitled to with a celebrant who is at the top of their game.
