Creating Ceremony

A Christmassy collection of celebrants! So lovely to see this lot today - we missed you @hilarychanning ❤️ #celebrantsrock

Ritual and tradition - they’re not just for weddings and funerals and they’re not set in stone either. One of our Christmas family traditions is to buy our tree from Lansdowne Plants in Worthing, make a big fuss of their gorgeous collies Cassie and Ted, and name our tree. This year’s is called Keith 🎄 ❤️🎄 . #christmastree #christmastradition #christmas #sussexcelebrant #creatingceremony #christmasritual

As well as having excellent taste in celebrants 😘 my couples have got some serious skillz... Check out this video of the gorgeous Corrinne singing. She’s sooooooo cool (as is her husband Kevi) and I was super chuffed to conduct their wedding in August ❤️❤️

A little reminder, for when Christmas overwhelm strikes 🎄💋

We celebrants might not have to deal with spiders🕷, snakes 🐍 and teeny food rations 🍚 , but there are some things that are the stuff of our celebrant nightmares! Check out the my latest blog post to find out what makes me shout ‘I’m a celebrant - get me out of here!!!’ https://creatingceremony.com/…/im-a-cel ebrant-get-me-out-o…/

The gorgeous Mr and Mrs Sam and Hannah! Their loved-filled, warm and candle-lit wedding on such a dreary rainy day brought my fantastic year of weddings to a beautiful end. And I loved how their dog River made little comments throughout the ceremony too - her comic timing was on point! 🐾❤️🐾 . #weddingcelebrant #sussexcelebrant #celebrant #celebrantwedding #sussexwedding #whippet #whippetsatweddings #creatingceremony #alternativewedding #personalisedwedding @ Pangdean Barn

Souvenirs of a fabulous few days…
Just a week ago, celebrants from the UK, Spain, Holland and the US finally came together, after a whole year of excited anticipation, for the first Celebrants Collective Retreat in Malaga, Spain.
The very wonderful Natasha Johnson, creatrix of The Celebrants' Collective, wanted the retreat to be just that – a stepping back, an opportunity to figure out where to go next and a chance to refill our cups after a busy wedding season. The tagline o...

Wow wow wow. Claire was beyond amazing on the run up of our day and on the day. She made us feel so comfortable from beginning to end, and gave us the perfect ceremony. So many memories made and many More to come. Thank you Claire xxx

What can I say other thank you, thank you, thank you, I can see why you have recently won the National title of Celebrant at the Wedding Industry Awards.

Clare recently officiated at a family funeral and met with me and my Mum to gather information about my late Dad, her approach, manner, and personality were absolutely perfect, my Mum took a shine to her immediately.

The delivery of her eulogy was absolutely superb and with her easy approachable manner we were more than happy to ask her to join us for some refreshments, once again, thank you sooo much, you did Dad proud and I am sure he would have had a chuckle about some of the stores we told, with much love and best wishes Pete, Rosie, Dan and Nicky Cook xx

We cant recommend Claire highly enough! She created the most thoughtful and personal service for us! We even had a few carols thrown in too!! Thank you SO much for making our day so perfect!

Thanks so much to Claire Bradford for helping us create a fitting Memorial Service on Monday. Claire, we greatly appreciate your advice and guidance. It made the occasion just what we wanted.

Knowing this empathic and sensitive lady as I do, I am fully aware of the passion she has for meeting people's needs and the time she will commit to ensure she fully understands, and properly reflects, the individuality that will make every service unique. I know that, for any need I have whether for upbeat or for solemnity, I would make Claire my very first port of call.

If anyone is undecided as to using a celebrant - then decide! It's a no brainer! We had the most amazing & emotional, yet hilarious ceremony on Saturday.

Cannot thank Clare enough for making it so fantastic.

Fantastic way to add that personal touch to your wedding ceremony!

Clare was our celebrant when we married in October. We had never heard of a celebrant before we met her by chance when we were visiting our venue. We loved her instantly and when she explained what she did we thought it sounded just what we wanted. We were not disappointed, the ceremony was perfect, the first time she read it to us we both cried and on the day there were very few dry eyes and just the right amount of humour. She has a unique gift of being able to draw out your story and just get you. Every meaningful occasion needs a Clare. If in doubt just meet her it was what she was born to do.

Clare conducted my dad's funeral service with care compassion and sensitivity. From the first contact to the final service she was superb and is a truly lovely lady.

Claire read our wedding vows beautifully. Her personality shone through like the smiley lovely lady she is. Felt like we new her well. Added lots of magic and sparkle to our day! Thanks claire. Xxx

Claire performed our wedding ceremony on Saturday and was wonderful! The ceremony was perfect, and she was so kind and helpful all throughout the planning process. We received SO many compliments about how personal and touching the service was. Thanks so much Claire! X

Claire is going to marry us next june and we couldnt be happier. We have had quite a few stumbling blocks between booking claire and now (change of venue & my fiance being deployed to kenya for 7 months!) And claire has been on the end of the phone everytime ive needed her. Shes an incredible lady and in the words of my mum 'shes going to be one of the family!' 100% reccommend claire to anyone!
