Meet the Sunniest Independent Wedding Celebrant in the UK*
*Probably, I haven’t conducted any official research.
Hi, I’m Ashleigh
I’m a Norfolk-based independent celebrant with a big heart and a penchant for fun.
I love creating meaningful experiences for others. For me, there’s no greater feeling than helping to make a wedding, naming ceremony, or vow renewal memorable (and not just because your auntie hit the sherry too hard).
Personalised Ceremonies for Unique Celebrations
As an independent celebrant, I combine years of training and experience with my bright, joyful personality to create smooth-running, fun-filled ceremonies. My sunny approach perfectly sets the tone for a gorgeous day filled with big laughs and even bigger feels.
I trained as an independent celebrant with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy (AMC), an industry-leading organisation where I honed my skills in writing, planning, and delivering unique, personalised ceremonies.
As a queer woman, I’m passionate about celebrating love and identity in all its forms. I love working with LGBTQIA couples, and as a trans ally, I also offer discounts for re-naming ceremonies.
Take a look at my services to find out how we can work together to make your big day the best experience possible.
Finding Small Joys Every Day
My background is in performance and facilitation, so you could say I’m a professional drama queen.
Alongside being an independent celebrant, I deliver training for organisations, holding space and helping people connect and communicate in meaningful ways.
Outside of work, I love singing in a community choir, mooching around with a good coffee in hand, or hunting down the best brunch, toastie, and small plates restaurants.
I’m a big believer in finding the small joys in everyday life, whether it’s fresh flowers on the table, spotting a fluffy dog on a jog, or the way my pink disco ball mushroom catches the morning light.
My Sunny Approach to Wedding Celebrations
I truly believe that the run-up to your wedding should be just as joyful as the day itself. That’s why I work closely with my couples to make the ceremony planning process fun and stress-free.
From finding the perfect words to coordinating with your venue and suppliers, I’m on hand to make the entire experience as sunny and lovely as possible.

Ashleigh did such a fantastic job at making the ceremony so special. She had clearly put a lot of care and thought into making it personalized, funny and thoughtful and everyone was smiling and laughing and there was even a few tears shed as Ashleigh guided everyone through such a special moment. She added such a lovely touch to the day!

World Wandering & an Ever-Growing Bucket List
I love adventures and travelling, and my bucket list is ever-growing. A piece of my heart will always be in Australia, where I lived and loved for three years.
Currently, at the top of my travel wishlist are the Norwegian fjords, New Zealand, and island-hopping my way around Greece. So, if you happen to be getting married in any of these places… 👇🏻
