I’m a trained independent civil celebrant based in Wimbledon SW London, and also have 17 years experience as a parenting coach, neuro diversity specialist, and speaker. I’m also the author of ‘My Child’s Different.’ But first and foremost, I love celebrations and celebrating the various life stages we all go through, whether that’s welcoming a new addition into the family, tying the knot for the first, second or third time, or celebrating the life of a beloved family member who has died, including your four legged friends. Whatever Life Act you’re in, there is cause to celebrate. I also love story telling, and whether it’s your love story, or celebrating the life of a loved one who has passed, a good narrator can transform a ceremony. Together we can ensure your wedding day is the one that everyone remembers and talks about with a smile, or is the funeral where you and your guests actually leave feeling soothed and secure in the knowledge that their beloved’s life has been celebrated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/7dfb2671-5e49-412f-963b-614c46756e6e/Elaine+image+1+in+Suit+on+sofa.png About - My story I’ve been married to my gorgeous Kiwi hubster for 33 years, and whilst our wedding day in Scotland was truly memorable, I realise now it was a cookie cutter day, where everything played out traditionally in a semi-religious environment. The lack of creativity and uniqueness compared to the weddings today, presents a stark difference, but there is of course a perfect opportunity for us to celebrate again and renew our vows. Family is at the heart of everything I have done to date in my life, so whether it’s a name changing ceremony, welcoming an adopted child into a new family, a new puppy, or acknowledging the loss of a newborn child, as an experienced parenting coach and speaker, I can bring wisdom, depth of presence and a clarity to every ceremony. I’m no showy Master of Ceremonies. I’m just me. Human. Real. Whether your ceremony is quirky, messy, heartfelt, vulnerable or joyful…….it will be wonderful because it will represent you and it’s your day. Whatever your celebration, ‘Happy Ever After’ starts here. https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/weddings-and-vow-renewals daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/3c5c9847-d8d4-4f0c-b9af-a4f42e31e3b6/Bottom+Banner+Blush.png Weddings and Vow Renewals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/b6b6deb3-1fee-43ec-9d44-0e8b79b78912/hydrangea-9941409_1920+pixaby.jpg Weddings and Vow Renewals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/3cf0cd1c-298d-4da7-a789-82097a62c756/Elaine+image+4+wedding+celebrant+.png Weddings and Vow Renewals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/7f9c52c1-1b34-421b-a177-ebf9bb9148ce/Elaine+image+4+wedding+celebrant+.png Weddings and Vow Renewals - WEDDING CEREMONIES Wedding ceremony & vow renewals £800 Rehearsal from £100 ( depending on location) Your wedding will be one of the most memorable and happiest moments of your life, and together we can ensure we create an unforgettable ceremony that you will love, and that your guests will be talking about for decades to come.

A ‘Baby Naming Ceremony’ enables you and your family, friends and loved ones to create a personalised, meaningful way to celebrate the arrival of your new baby and welcome them. It is a non-religious alternative to a Christening or religious ceremony, and is a way to officially name your child, celebrating their arrival into your world. In the past you may have chosen ‘god parents’ in a religious ceremony, and today you can select ‘guide parents’ to perform that role to ensure they have the love, support and guidance from other significant adults, outside of the family unit. This is the perfect opportunity to share your values, dreams and hopes for your baby’s future with those accompanying you on this important journey. You can choose what form the celebration takes, from a simple ceremony party declaring your baby’s name or you may decide to include celebratory elements such as sand ceremonies, tree planting or hand and foot printing, and involve loved ones to tell the story of your family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/8aa12087-4ad9-4cf7-9700-cc99fb2a0429/newborn-photography-9289496_1920+Pixaby.jpg Baby and Child Celebrations - EVERY BABY NAMING IS UNIQUE Every family has it’s own unique story to tell Every baby is special to their own family in many different ways My role, as your celebrant, is to listen to your story and capture the essence in a creative and succinct way to share with your loved ones. This is such a significant and poignant time in your life and as a parenting coach in my previous life, I completely get the significance and importance of bringing home baby into your world. I’d be honoured to share this exciting celebration with you and look forward to meeting you and your new family. https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/funerals daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/6505e7b9-d8ca-4497-aab5-d7b85d79791b/Bottom+Banner+Blush.png Funerals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/2eef1d8b-c77d-4ef0-87e2-6893082533d5/flowers-4839339+_2100+pixaby.jpg Funerals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/3c1ca7fa-87de-4fbc-95cb-902ac4b2df58/hydrangea-9941409_1920+pixaby.jpg Funerals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/101d0f26-8bc7-409a-8e86-f1025db09324/chrysanthemum-5273366_1280+pixaby.jpg Funerals - Funerals Using a funeral director: £280 Celebration of life: from £350 Funerals babies & children -no charge Saying a Loving Goodbye This is going to be one of the hardest moments in your life, losing a loved one, and planning the perfect send off can feel like a very daunting task at an already difficult time. Your world may have just been turned upside down, but you are required somehow to ride that emotional roller coaster and face the reality head on. It’s a privilege for me to guide and support you through this next step and I can help you find the right Funeral Director, who really takes the time to see you and hear you and help you choose the right service for your loved one. There are so many options for a funeral ceremony venue, and it may be that your loved one expressed their wishes clearly, or you may be at a loss of what venues are available. It doesn’t have to be all done at a crematorium, and following a smaller committal with a few select people, a celebration/memorial can take place at a favourite hotel, beach or garden, where there are no time constraints and things can be more relaxed. https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/12b611ec-0cba-4bda-af38-68444285232e/TCP+BLOG+WITH+OVERLAY+.png Blog https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/the-history-of-civil-celebrancy monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a603c2aacb1a3ff2ee1407/2786a90a-9d9c-404d-ba15-9bd329d3cf97/pexels-suzyhazelwood-4542707.jpg Blog - The History of Civil Celebrancy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/category/Marriage+Law monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/category/History+of+Celebrancy monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/tag/historycelebrant monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/tag/humanist monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/tag/celebrancy monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/tag/civilpartnership monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/blog/tag/marriagelaw monthly 0.5 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/404 daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/terms-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/terms daily 0.75 2025-08-20 https://www.thecelebrantpractice.co.uk/privacy-cookies daily 0.75 2025-12-17
