Introducing Meg!
I’m a relaxed, storytelling wedding and family celebrant in the North East. I'm currently based in Sedgefield with my husband, Tom. I am a friendly, bubbly person and love 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.
My real love for words started with reading and discovering my favourite subject: English Language. I enjoy playing around with words and their meaning, telling stories and writing rhymes!
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 The UK Society of Celebrants (UKSOC) in 2020, 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!!
Stationery
All certificates, vow cards and other ceremony stationery are made in-house via my sister business The Ink and Foil Studio. Work with me to design stationery to suit your theme.
Happy Planning!
