Trust me to deliver your unique love story....

Hi, I’m Julie...

I have lived in Devon all my life & I have 2 adult sons with partners and 2 gorgeous grand children – oh, not forgetting an energetic spaniel called Nala. 

Being a celebrant is the most exciting, passionate and amazing experience for me!

I feel so privileged and humbled to be able to deliver a unique, personal and bespoke ceremony for you, that there is nothing else I would rather do.

How it all began

I had been to many weddings in the past, but the best was delivered so personally, that it touched my heart and was so inclusive and different.

And yes- it was held by a celebrant. It fascinated me and then I attended one of a relative that just didn’t quite measure up to my expectations. A good friend suggested, “ You could have done much better than that- so why don’t you?”.

It got me thinking ………and after a bit of research & a rigorous training programme, here I am! A proud, accredited & qualified celebrant!

Why Choose me for your funeral?

Funerals are always an emotional occasion when guidance and help to relieve the stress are so important.  As a funeral celebrant, it is an absolute privilege to meet families and tell their loved ones stories. Warmth & sensitivity & compassion are an essential pre-requisites to enable us to weave your thoughts and ideas & ensure we get the perfect service that reflects your loved one. 

From the initial meeting until the day of the funeral, I can support you every step of the way through what I know is a painful and difficult time & together, we can create a sensitive, meaningful and thoughtful ceremony. 

Whether you include religious or non-religious aspects or prefer something more spiritual, I believe it is possible to have a funeral where the emphasis is on celebrating a life through the power of pictures, words and music. 

"As a professionally trained civil celebrant, I am passionately committed to providing a professional, memorable and individualised service-whether it be for a Wedding, Vow renewal, Naming ceremony or Funeral. I pride myself on always going above and beyond so you won’t ever be disappointed."
