It’s Not All About Me…
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.
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, and I know my talents lie in writing so I became a wedding celebrant.
‘Funky’ was born as a result, and when I fully embraced my fun loving, quirky, different, geeky and nerdy side I realised there are people just like me out there who want to express their inner nerd safely with like-minded people.
FACTS ABOUT ME!
I am owned (because, let’s face we all know our pets own us) by 3 gorgeous ‘wigglebutt’ dogs.
I love Marvel, fantasy and sci fi films.
I LOVE my Lego building.
I’m obsessed with Lucy & Yak dungarees!
I love my witchy romcom audiobooks and losing myself in alternative worlds
I adore gin and have quite a collection!
My favourite food is chicken and mushroom balti with naan (always better from the famous Birmingham Balti belt) And for dessert, a well made classic Victoria sponge with a cup of Yorkshire Tea.
I create interactive, geeky, themed, fun quirky, memorable and distinctive ceremonies for likeminded people.
Am I your kind of celebrant?
(p.s. I don’t get nakey or jump out of planes, other than that, pretty much most things go!)
AN IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT ME!
I do not use AI when writing your ceremony, all of my scripts are built from scratch, and it all revolves around you… your story… your passions and your quirks. Telling your story is MY passion and it will be an epic retelling of love in all of its multifaceted and multicoloured glory.
What are you waiting for? Let’s talk and find out why it’s not all about me, but how it IS all about YOU and how we can work together to create your own kind of magic and bring the words off a page to life.
As a celebrant influencer, one of my favourite quotes is…
“If you want to be original,
be ready to be copied“
Coco Chanel
My unique style is often emulated, but there is ONLY one Funky!
Funky Ceremonies for the Discerning Geek
I love colour, I love music… I love to get my robes and my wands or light sabre out.
I love my DM’s my petticoats and embracing my bright red ‘fro.
I love fantasy and fiction…
I love history, sustainability, my dogs, my humans, and exploring my own beliefs…
If you love these things too, then maybe… just maybe… I AM the right celebrant for you!
Vibrant and fun-loving ceremonies of all descriptions and for all the times of your life are my speciality.
Let’s let our imaginations take us to far off galaxies or magically hidden worlds as we weave your passions and fantasies into the ceremony you always dreamed of.
