“We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding celebration brilliant.
We are both really pleased that we decided to go for a celebrant led wedding and absolutely thrilled that we chose you. You made our day special.
The ceremony with the hand fasting ritual was beautifully done and it helped to involve all my family members in celebrating the occasion.
Highly recommended.”

“Mike is fantastic at what he does! Mike hosted our wedding in May and everyone commented how great he was and how perfect the ceremony was.
From taking the time to come and meet us, learn about us as people and our relationship, to regular updates on WhatsApp Mike personalised the ceremony script perfectly. It was done with humour and love and captured our relationship and personalities.
Mike absolutely went the extra mile personalising the certificate using our wedding font and icons, He even gifted us a copy of the script after the wedding. He accepted every amendment graciously. He is such a lovely person, you can tell he does this because he loves it.
If you’re a TypeA bride or groom and are planning the best day of your life - book Mike, you won’t be disappointed!!! If I was doing it again, I’d book him.
THANK YOU MIKE 🩵✨”

“Mike conducted our wedding ceremony. It was an absolute joy working with him from the first contact through to the amazing job he did at the ceremony. He was incredibly enthusiastic and really took the time to get to know us which meant it was incredibly personal. All of our guests thought he was fabulous and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him if you’re looking for someone to tailor your service exactly how you want it and to create a unique and personal experience.”
““From your first deeply reassuring visit, right up to the last moments of the funeral service, we felt and appreciated your empathy and understanding. We couldn’t have asked for greater kindness nor a more finely and carefully nuanced delivery of the funeral service itself. Members of the family felt that you conveyed the sense of ‘who she was’ in a remarkably insightful and intimate way. It was deeply moving but also uplifting.
Your continued kindness and sensitivity at the end of the service and your thoughtfulness in providing a momento-mori in the form of a presentation copy of all the words spoken, has been deeply appreciated, especially by those whose age and infirmity prevented attendance either tangibly or digitally.
The business of finding the ‘right’ person at such a delicate time is rather nerve-wracking, but we are able to look back on a farewell that was just as we hoped and delivered poignantly, appropriately and beautifully by you. Thank you so much.”

— Stuart
“Mike guided us with great sensitivity to make a very personal ceremony for our Mum and Dad after they passed away within a short time of each other, calmly dealing with some specific issues for a double funeral.
He listened carefully to what we wanted and then helped us make it happen, making suggestions for the order, music, poems and the best way to involve the adult grandchildren.
Mike led a beautiful and fitting ceremony, making us feel that he knew Mum and Dad, even though he never met them. We are so grateful to him for his caring and respectful support at a very difficult and emotional time for us.”

Exceptional - 10 out of 10
“When I first met Mike, I joked with him that he would be judged by the review that we leave. From the time we met, to discuss the funeral service, I could tell we were in ‘safe hands’. He guided us and listened to our wishes and between us planned the most wonderful funeral service for my father. We wanted a Celebration of life service and he was exceptional. Thank you Mike - for your part in making the day such a success.”
— Phil

“My Mother passed away recently & Mike was recommended to me by the funeral director that I used.
What can I say. Mike is just a lovely man, so kind & caring. He took the time to talk to me & my whole family - listened to everything we said & from our memories of my Mum, he wrote the most beautiful eulogy, that captured her life and the essence of her exactly.
The service he did was conducted with the utmost dignity, kindness & attention to every little detail. Even though it was a sad occasion, he managed to include a few lighter moments in the service. I cannot recommend him enough & have no hesitation in recommending him.
If you use Mike’s services, you won’t be disappointed.”
