Funky Celebrant
Ceremonies for free-spirited people, creatively scripted and delivered
Who are we...
Hi, I’m Michelle Your Funky Celebrant in Essex. I create ceremonies for free-spirited people. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere! Unleash the playful side of your personalities with a fun filled, meaningful and creatively scripted & delivered ceremony that is perfect for you.
Your wedding day isn’t about me…but this bit is!
I’m based in North Essex, but originally hail from the Midlands and am proud to have retained some of the mother tongue (Brummie).
As well as being a multi award-winning celebrant I am also a celebrant trainer and mentor and I love sharing a good old love story with anyone who will listen.
I share my home with 3 gorgeous wigglebutts aka Luna the chocolate lab, Freddy the black lab and Harry Pupper the golden retriever, oh and my husband who tolerates all of my geeky passions that include Lego building and a small obsession with the fantasy worlds of Harry Potter, Marvel, Dr Who, Star Wars and many, many more…
As a result I AM an inclusive, diversity and eco-friendly driven ceremonialist, who will turn my hand to fulfilling your ceremony dreams.
I do not use AI when writing your ceremony, all of my scripts are built from scratch, and it all revolves around you… your story… your passions and your quirks. Telling your story is MY passion and it will be an epic retelling of love in all of its multifaceted and multicoloured glory.
What are you waiting for? Let’s talk and find out why it’s not all about me, but how it IS all about YOU and how we can work together to create your own kind of magic and bring the words off a page to life.
My mantra is ‘One planet, one life, so let’s make it beautiful.’ Whilst we may be lucky enough to celebrate many milestones in our lives, we should be celebrating responsibly and ensuring that we do indeed take only memories and leave only footprints.
I often work in unusual venues and outdoor locations. Some are purpose-built event spaces, others are as rustic as a farmers field that has been hired for a weekend. For me it is vitally important that we leave that space as we found it, unblemished by our detritus, save perhaps by our footprints.
I am an accredited member of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance since 21st March 2024 and have made a number of pledges as can be seen on my sustainability strategy document on my website.
“From the minute I looked at Michelle’s site & Instagram, I knew she was the right person for us. Having a handfasting was always very important to me & this is something that Michelle understood & nurtured & brought to life.”– N&A 2023
“When we approached Michelle, we knew very quickly that she was the celebrant we were crying out for! She managed to capture the finest details of how we met, when we fell in love & came to be a happy couple.” – P&K 2023
“From the first meeting to the questionnaires about what makes us tick, to the script writing process … the attention to detail…putting us at our ease and making us laugh, Michelle was exceptional!” – N&T 2023
