Peter Ryder
With Peter Ryder, the emphasis is very much on options. When it comes to a bespoke, independently planned and officiated ceremony, there really are no limits.

All orientations are welcome, and all locations are considered. As well as writing the ceremony with you, be it a traditional piece or something a little bit quirkier, Peter can also help with choreography. A real hands on helper.
It’s All About the Day
The celebrant behind It’s All About the Day is Anita Koch, a charming and confident celebrant who understands that sometimes it’s hard to know exactly what you want to say in your ceremony or how to say it. Your whole day is probably planned perfectly to the minute, except for one detail. Everybody knows how they feel typically, yet it’s not always everyone’s best foot forward trying to articulate how they feel into words. That’s where Anita comes in. Whether the style you’re going for is traditional, modern, romantic or ribald, Anita has you covered.

Infinitelove is a beautifully presented, bespoke and versatile service run by Samantha Goodchild, an independent celebrant with a rich history of leading ceremonies. With independent celebrants like Samantha, you can have your ceremony literally anywhere, the world is your limit. Maybe you want to have it by a castle ruin, the first holiday destination you visited as a couple, or a under a waterfall in nature’s garden. It really is up to you and your preferences. This includes the ceremony as well. After something more spiritual, or more secular? Sarah can, and has, done it all.
Inner Radiance Ceremonies
The founder and celebrant behind Inner Radiance is the every friendly and heartwarming Sarah Flynn, an Interfaith Minister. Interfaith ministry is all about spirituality, while not adhering to a specific label or sect for what that spirituality means. Everyone has their own idea of what spirituality is, and it’s up to those people as to how that spirituality is going to feature in their special day. Sarah is an open, honest and tolerant individual who takes great pleasure in helping everyone on this spectrum, particularly in designing them a ceremony personally that they can cherish forever.
Daisy Chen
Daisy Chen is a civil celebrant whose motto is that love is the most powerful feeling in the world. When you take away all the traditions and details of wedding and unions, what you have at the core is a deep and meaningful love. If this is the most important thing about getting married, then the other details should be about celebrating that love, and who it is that is in love. This is why an independent celebrant like Daisy can be so valuable. You don’t have to tailor your love to the confines of a traditional wedding, you can do anything, anywhere.
Lasting Memories
Behind Lasting Memories lies the family-minded celebrant Yvonne Roberts. Having been conducting ceremonies for family and friends for the better part of a decade, Yvonne decided to take the leap and train professionally, now offering her well established services as an independent celebrant to the wider public. After enjoying a long and successful career in sales and interior design, Yvonne transitioned to celebrancy, transferring her immaculate professional skills of listening to clients need and delivering tailored services over in a sector where they are prized.
True Blue Ceremonies
True Blue Ceremonies was founded by Katie Keen, a unique celebrant in the space, in that she professionally sits in two sides of the world of weddings. Katie was a marriage registrar for 8 whole years, and in that time, while she loved the opportunity to meet hundreds of people in love and their families, she was often frustrated at how restricting the process was for people. She decided then to go out and train as a celebrant, offering bespoke and tailored services to people that made the whole process that much more special.
