Both myself and my new husband feel completely blessed to have found Miranda for our wedding day! We were recommended to contact Miranda by our wedding venue completely by chance, and what a chance that was!Miranda is one of the bubbliest and friendliest people we have ever met! From the first time we spoke we got on so well – with mutual interests very much in common (cough cough, Lord of The Rings!)She put us as ease and helped us manage a process we were not very knowledgable about at all. She explained each step and what we needed to do in preparation for our ceremony – including our legal ceremony too. She asked us to fill in some questionnaires so she could use the information to write our own bespoke ceremony script, completed catered to us and who we are as a couple. She let us add, remove and change the script as many times as we wanted, so we could make sure it was perfect.On the day, Miranda arrived early so she could prepare and meet our wedding party. She was instrumental in making sure the ceremony ran smoothly, whilst I was away not being able to manage a thing!Our ceremony was beautiful, and everything we wanted and more. It was intimate, personal and had the perfect balance of humour and emotion. Our guests commented on how moving it was, and how great Miranda was performing our ceremony.Thank you so much to Miranda for all you did in the lead up, and on our wedding day – without you we couldn’t have had the day we always wanted. We are forever grateful!

Miranda created the ceremony we had always imagined. It summed us up as a couple perfectly and all of our friends and family agreed.We took a very chilled approach when planning our wedding and Miranda’s kind words and help with planning allowed us to feel totally relaxed on our special day.We are really thankful that High Billinghurst recommended Miranda to us as she was a massive part of our day and helped us create memories that we will cherish forever.I couldn’t recommend Miranda more and we will be forever thankful. Is it too soon to renew our wedding vows?!!

We were introduced to Miranda through our wedding venue who had said that she was the best celebrant that they had met which really put us at ease immediately. We met Miranda for the first time quite early on in our engagement and the meeting went so well, we knew we made the right decision by having her at our wedding. Miranda is such a lovely person, really friendly and she instantly understood us as a couple. What followed was a few more phone calls which were all so easy and that was it! We didn’t have to think about that part of the wedding until the actual day as we knew everything was in good hands.Then the wedding day arrived, which was just great. The ceremony was exactly how I wanted it to be; really relaxed and fun! We had a few jokes throughout and Miranda did an amazing job. Everyone loved it and really enjoyed Miranda’s service it was just perfect. I would highly recommend anyone to meet Miranda and have her part of their wedding, she was great!Thanks again Miranda,

Miranda transformed what we expected to be the most formal part of our day into the highlight of our entire wedding. We knew from our first conversation that Miranda shared our ceremony vision and was the perfect celebrant for us! The entire process was collaborative and emotional, full of inspiring suggestions and creative direction from Miranda. On the day our ceremony was executed to perfection – Miranda created a safe and intimate space where James and I could completely relax and enjoy the experience. Miranda wrote the ceremony in a way that made the entire party feel included and the energy was very special…I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room! I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Miranda to anyone – she is a gifted and spirited celebrant who will blow any expectations you may have out the water! Thank you Miranda, can we do it again?! – Gemma + James

Miranda was a joy to work with throughout! She had invaluable tips for the ceremony and for the big day in general. Knowing that she was in our corner took a lot of the wedding planning stress away. Thank you for being such a warm, sensitive, patient, and lovely presence throughout. We’ve had sooo many of the guests come up and tell us that the ceremony was an absolute highlight and also received many many comments saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended. We are so grateful. THANK YOU, MIRANDA!! – Jane + Henrik

Shontell and I would like to say thank you to Miranda for putting together a great wedding ceremony for us on 28th July 2018. Miranda was helpful throughout the preparation of the ceremony. She made some very useful suggestions regarding the content of the script, from drafting it through to the final copy. On the day of our wedding, Miranda was very thorough in conducting the ceremony, but perhaps more importantly, she made us feel at ease, and she did so with warmth and a cheerful smile. Shontell and I were so happy with Miranda, that we asked her to stay for our reception, which she did. We have no hesitation in recommending Miranda to anyone who’s looking for a professional and reliable Celebrant. – Pope + Shontell

Miranda is absolutely fantastic. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Miranda and working with her to make our day special. Miranda took time to get to know us as a couple and even asks for separate answers from each of us to incorporate a surprise section into our wedding ceremony for example when asked chloe to describe Mark she said …. Miranda is professional yet very friendly. Miranda made our ceremony so special and one to remember forever. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Miranda. – Chloe + Mark

Thank you for going out of your way to create the most beautiful intimate ceremony for us. You wove all the highlights of our 35 years together in to a symbolic and deeply moving script not only honouring our relationship but our fight for equal marriage. We loved your attention to detail as well as suggestions for how we could incorporate some unique elements such as a hand fasting which included all our friends and family. We’re so happy that we decided to work with you! – James + John

I remember my wedding as if it was just yesterday and like so many people which I could re-play all again! The part that would be most prevalent would be my wedding vows!The whole process of planning my wedding ceremony with Miranda was excellent. Miranda really listened to me & my husband to be and what were important values and aspects that we wanted in our wedding ceremony. We had several meetings, all enjoyable and Miranda had some really personal suggestions to our ceremony, including references to my late father which was so well thought out. I knew between each time we meet she had so much thought, time and attention to detail to each aspect.I was so happy having Miranda on our wedding day, she was a support to everyone including my now husband (especially when I arrived later than planned to the ceremony!! ).Miranda delivered such a beautiful ceremony, so personal and the atmosphere she created with our guests was amazing! We had so many comments not only on the day but for a long time afterwards about what a beautiful, unique and personal service it was. I felt very blessed on my wedding day, not only with the love of my husband and all the special guests but having someone such as Miranda to hold such a personal and Wonderful ceremony for us! – Lisa + Martin

Miranda was a breath of fresh air when it came to planning our wedding ceremony. The moment she picked up the phone, we knew that she was the one for us. She went above and beyond to help us craft a perfectly unique and personal ceremony and every single one of our guests was blown away on the day; no one had ever been to a wedding ceremony quite like ours! Our original plan was to have a registrar re-create our legal ceremony, and we are so incredibly glad we didn’t! Highly recommend to anyone else who is thinking about using a celebrant, you won’t regret it!
