As a fully certified independent Celebrant in Hackney, I can lead a celebration, such as a marriage, funeral, or naming ceremony, and can help with commemorating a loved-one, or someone being married. I also specialise in Queer ceremonies, and cater to the LGBT community throughout East London.
Alongside my role as a celebrant, I can also help with all aspects of public speaking, from writing the speeches to delivering them on the day. Whether you would like to deliver the main speech, and need coaching or assistance, or would like a prepared speech for your big day, I am here to help.
is how much we loved having you as our celebrant. It’s a rare and special thing to have a ceremony that feels so totally authentic both to you as a couple and also to the community of friends and family you love so much (celebrant included). You just did the most fantastic, thoughtful, personal job of guiding us through it, and nearly a year on we still talk about particular lines and observations you included.
Jane made us feel instantly at ease and respected as a couple. It was also special to share this process with another queer person who understood our experience. Jane made the ceremony of our wedding the best part of the day. Understanding the tone that we wanted, commanding the space but also allowing for laughs and a personal touch. Many of the wedding guests commented on it being one of the best ceremonies they had been to. Five enthusiastic stars!
How beautifully poetic.
I am so glad that we chose Jane to be the celebrant at the Zoom memorial that we organized for a friend. She put a huge amount of time and thought into preparing the event and composing a eulogy, and created a beautiful piece of writing. She is an experienced public speaker and hosted the event very smoothly, including some technical elements - we felt that we were in safe hands. Our event was large and included contributions from almost all attendees: Jane managed this very thoughtfully. She was exactly the right person with whom to discuss the circumstances of our event and to honour all aspects of our friend's life.
We really valued Jane's concise work and editorial insights. Would definitely recommend.
Speech writing
Coaching
As a fully independent celebrant, I can incorporate whatever you want into your service, focused on your values and what is important to you. For a funeral, I will take time to speak with yourself about the person, their life and their interests, and then I will compose a ceremony based on that.
For marriages, I take a similar approach: finding out about your values and how you want them reflected on the day. If you are looking for an independent celebrant in Hackney, I am here to help with all your speech writing needs.
