Meet Karen
Your Civil Celebrant
As a West Midlands celebrant, I create and deliver bespoke ceremonies that are unique to you.

My mission is to craft heartfelt ceremonies that honour your stories, ensuring every detail feels authentic and meaningful.
With a deep commitment to empathy, inclusivity, and sustainability, I work closely with you to create a ceremony that celebrates your journey and creates lasting memories.
How we craft your personalised ceremony
1
Getting to know you
We start with an initial consultation where we meet to discuss your ceremony. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what you envision for your special day.

Write your ceremony
With the information gathered,
I start crafting the ceremony. This includes writing the script, selecting readings or other elements to include, and working with you to ensure that the ceremony reflects your wishes and values.
