Hear what they say..

“Clare is wonderful. Relaxed, charming, personable, funny and yet professional, striking the perfect balance between formal and informal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for someone to help steer a joyful path through what can be quite a stressful day. XX ”

“ Clare struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and joyful - with just the right touch of humour. She even provided a little toast post ceremony, on our request, with our guests. She captured our story so perfectly that many of our guests thought she had known us for years! The ceremony flowed seamlessly and set the perfect tone for the rest of our day. We had so many guests comment on how moving and unique the ceremony was (we had quite a few tears from us as well as our guests!)- and that’s all thanks to Clare’s talent and presence. If you're looking for a celebrant who will make your wedding feel truly special, look no further. Clare, thank you from the bottom of our hearts - we’ll treasure those moments forever! ”

“Clare provided us with a totally bespoke, empathetic and responsive experience from start to finish. She really took the time to get to know as a couple and learn all of our quirks and idiosyncrasies. Our meetings were fun and personal and she made the process much easier and less stressful. Clare really knows her stuff and offered valuable insight and expertise about the ritual and tradition of different ceremonies. The ceremony was beautiful, memorable and totally unique! We got so many compliments and lots of our guests said it was the best ceremony they had ever been too! Clare wrote a brilliant script with just the right mix of humour, storytelling and seriousness. She is a very talented writer and speaker and has lovely prose and style. Thank you so much Clare for making our ceremony so special! ”

“Clare was fantastic at our wedding, she had lots of ideas to add to our pagan hand fasting. Clare put so much effort in from start to finish and with so many parts to the ceremony we're glad we found her! The questionnaires really helped get us in the swing of wedding prep. The script she made from those and our meetings perfectly captured the feel and vibe we wanted. She made the day perfect and was almost as excited as we were for a fully pagan ceremony as most people only want a flavour of it in their wedding. If you want a pagan/hand fasting ceremony, choose Clare! An amazing, beautiful soul with so much passion for her work and ensuring everything runs smoothly on her end. I Do Declare would be our first choice for a vow renewal or our recommendation to anyone looking to get married ”

“The highlight of our wonderful wedding day was definitely the beautiful ceremony that Clare wrote for us. She told our story eloquently and captured the essence of our relationship perfectly. The ceremony was exquisite, full of joy, love and laughter. The whole atmosphere was very relaxed and encompassed all of our guests, many of whom commented on the beauty of the ceremony. We would certainly recommend Clare to anyone wishing to engage the services of a celebrant for their special day.”

“Clare wrote us a ceremony that was wonderfully warm, had a great balance between humour and poignancy and really felt like it was "us". Many guests said afterwards that our ceremony had been 'beautiful', 'joyful' and one guest said of all the many marriage ceremonies he'd seen in his life, ours was the best. She was an absolute joy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a personal touch for their ceremony and day. Before getting engaged I'd never have thought that we'd go with a celebrant- led ceremony, but in hindsight we know we absolutely made the right call. She hit the balance between lyricism, solemnity and humour perfectly. ”

“Clare chose the most beautiful words to perform at our wedding. She reads with such a soulful and meaningful energy. We were delighted that she was a part of our special day.”

“ Clare has such a natural warmth and kindness that immediately put us at ease. She listened intently to our story—how we met and the life we’ve built together—and guided us in creating a ceremony that felt truly ours. On the day, she retold our journey with such clarity, charm, and gentle humour, capturing the essence of who we are in a way that touched everyone present. Clare also wove in beautiful, personal touches—like a song that all our guests sang to us as they surrounded and serenaded us, and a tree blessing where friends and family brought soil from their homes to help nurture a tree as a symbol of our growing family. We are so grateful to Clare for making our wedding ceremony so special. ”

“Clare was absolutely amazing helping us prep for our day. Her calm demeanour and professionalism were beyond satisfactory and also made us feel reassured that she had our best interests in mind. The day went smooth and we're happy to recommend her services. Her prices were more than fair which included advance zoom meetings which helped us get to know each other and how the day would go.”

“Clare held the ceremony for my daughter’s wedding. It was an amazing day and Clare was beautifully eloquent and reassuring leading the ceremony. At the pre-ceremony meetings we found Clare to be a good listener, she was able to quickly grasp and pull together all the ideas (of which there were many!) that my daughter and her fiancé had. On their wedding day, Clare delivered exactly what they wanted. I was really impressed with Clare’s work ethic and professionalism and I highly recommend her.”

“Clare conducts unique, poetic and beautiful ceremonies. She has magnetism, magic and gravitas about her in spades. She lent the occasion the necessary weight but also a lightness. Quite simply - immense. x”

“Thank you so much Clare for everything you did today to make it all so utterly perfect. The service was beautiful- reflective, funny, sombre and joyous all at once. You really took on board my ideas and wove them in alongside your fantastic ones. Thank you for making what could have been a really sad occasion due to the COVID-19 restrictions into something so utterly beautiful.”

“Clare held a Blessing Way ritual for me and a group of my friends before I gave birth to my daughter. I was touched by the thoughtful, tender and relaxed approach that Clare took when holding such a sacred space for me and my baby. She allowed each person in the room to be heard and to express themselves in their own way. I left the ritual feeling inspired and grateful as I journeyed into the next chapter of motherhood. Can’t recommend Clare highly enough as a celebrant for any special event.”

“Clare is a wonderful, playful, Bohemian soul- who delivered for me a sweet, intimate baby shower. The day was entertaining and relaxing, a celebration that made my pregnancy even more magical.”
