I'm Julie
Your Celebrant
I'm a celebrant based in North Somerset, ten minutes from Bristol and right by the M5. I lead weddings, farewells, and every kind of ceremony in between for people who want something that actually feels like them.
No big personalities. No scripts that could belong to anyone. Just careful listening, thoughtful writing, and a calm presence on the day that matters most.
It's the small, true things — the in-jokes, the quiet moments, the song you danced to in the kitchen.
I take time to listen properly, ask the questions that matter, and shape every word around you. No two ceremonies sound the same — because no two of you are the same.
Yours, from start to finish
Two ceremonies. One careful approach.
From the first joyful "yes" to the gentlest goodbye, I write and lead ceremonies that hold the people they're for. Choose a path below to explore what's included, or let's talk through what feels right for you.
A wedding that sounds completely like you.
Bespoke package
Personal, flexible ceremonies written around your story. Whether it's a barefoot beach wedding, a quiet garden gathering, or something much more unusual, I'll help you create something that sounds and feels unmistakably yours.
A farewell that truly honours a life.
Compassionate package
When someone you love has died, the last thing you need is a rushed, impersonal service. I write and lead farewells that honour the person at the heart of the day. Funerals, celebrations of life, memorials, and woodland burial services.
A Steady Pair of Hands.
I've spent my whole working life listening to people. As a learning disability nurse. As a sign language interpreter with the Deaf community. As a mediator sitting between two people trying to find a way forward together. What ties all of that work together is real listening, not just waiting for my turn to speak.
I bring that same attention to every ceremony I write.
-
Person-centred, always.
Every ceremony is written from scratch around you, never pulled from a template.
-
Inclusive, always.
Every life, love, and story is honoured — just as it is.
-
Calm when the emotions arrive.
I've held space through big feelings for decades. Nerves, tears, laughter, grief. I'm not easily phased.
-
Flexible by design.
Outdoor, indoor, handfasting, candle ceremonies, readings from your great-aunt. If it matters to you, we'll find a way.
What to expect, from hello to ceremony day.
A clear, gentle path to a ceremony that feels exactly right. I'll be alongside you every step — listening first, then shaping.
Get in touch
Drop me a line by email or phone and we’ll set up a no-obligation chat — face-to-face or online — to see if we’re a good fit.
Discovery & design
A questionnaire and gentle conversations help me get to know you and shape a ceremony around your story, values and wishes.
Refine & rehearse
Unlimited edits until every word feels right. I’ll liaise with your venue, photographer and musicians so the day runs beautifully.
The ceremony
Calm, steady, and full of heart — I’ll lead the day with care and leave you with a printed keepsake to remember it by.
When You're Ready
You don't need to have it all figured out. A first chat costs nothing, takes about half an hour, and comes with no pressure to book. Just an honest conversation about what you're imagining and whether I'm the right person to help bring it to life.
