Meet Amanda
For all life's moments
I'm an independent celebrant based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, covering the whole of the UK and international ceremonies too. I trained with the ICPC in September 2026. I became a celebrant because the ceremonies that stay with us are the ones that sound like the people in them.
I create and lead weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies, funerals, memorials and life celebrations, each thoughtfully crafted to reflect the people and moments at their heart. I can also host your wedding day as Master of Ceremonies, ensuring everything flows seamlessly.
With over 40 years of experience in people leadership, commercial management and customer experience, I bring a wealth of skills, understanding and professionalism to every occasion. My approach is rooted in integrity, love and trust, with a genuine commitment to making your ceremony as meaningful and memorable as it deserves to be.
I bring calm to the room, so you can be fully present in the moment that matters.
Training accreditation
My ICPC training is accredited by the National Open College Network (NOCN).
My story
The story behind my ceremonies
The ceremonies that stay with us are the ones that sound like the people in them. That's why I became a celebrant: to give every couple, every family and every farewell the words it deserves.
What draws me to this work is the chance to listen: to the memories you return to, the people who matter and the little details that make your story yours. Those conversations are where I begin, before I write a word.
As an independent celebrant, I write around the people in each ceremony. Whether we're marking a new beginning or remembering a life, I want you to feel heard, welcome and able to be yourself.
