Introducing Meg!​
​
I’m a smiley, fun, and vibrant wedding celebrant (my client’s words, not mine!) from the North East. I am from Barnard Castle, County Durham, and currently live in Darlington with my husband, Tom. I am a friendly, northern lass but also enjoy travelling around and meeting new people.
​
In my spare time I like to listen to music; I have a varied taste and love most, including northern soul, folk, and cheesy pop!
You’ll probably catch me trying not to dance before your wedding ceremony if you have good music playing.
​
You’ll often find me with a cocktail or G&T in hand (or any drink really!). I love going to see musicals with my family and baking cakes for their birthdays.
​
When I can, I try to meet my husband while he’s on tour. The fantastic thing about working for yourself is that you can work from anywhere! I just need my laptop, a notepad, and a pen to make me happy.
​
My main passion is writing, and it's my goal in life to write a novel one day—but for now, I write poetry, which you can read here.
​
There’s a little snippet about me! I can’t wait to learn about you….
My Story
How did I become a celebrant?
I was working as a speech therapy assistant when I first discovered this celebrant career.
​
During this time my best friends, Amy & Michael, were attempting to plan their wedding.
I’d been with them to look at venues the year before; we had a blast looking around, attending wedding fairs, and joking that I was their wedding planner. The date was now set, and suppliers booked, but COVID had other plans.
​
One evening I was messaging Amy back and forth, helping her decide whether to postpone or to go ahead with limited guests at her wedding. She explained that the restricted numbers included the 2 registrars. The next text would change my career forever….
​
“You should just officiate the ceremony.”
And the rest is history…
​
What an honour it is to be trusted with such a special moment in their lives. I wrote their personalised script, detailing their story, handmade their ceremony elements and stationery, and wrote a personalised poem for one of their ceremony readings.
It was official, I’d caught the celebrant bug.
​
I completed my course with UKSOC and left my job in April 2022; since then, I’ve written and officiated ceremonies and personalised poems for other couples, and I just love it!
That’s the short version of my story - now I want to know yours!!
