I offer

A UNIQUE APPROACH

Before setting up home in the UAE with my husband and two daughters, I was a registrar, marriage officer and registered celebrant with the Kent County Council in the UK for 3 years. I have stopped counting the many beautiful couples and families from around the world I have supported in their love journey, each one unique in their own way.

Wedding ceremony

A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage and make a lifetime commitment to love and cherish each other. Depending on your culture and religion, your wedding ceremony will be a reflection of what matters most to you. But most importantly, it is the love and respect between you and your partner that will shape your marriage!

Whether you are looking for a casual wedding ceremony, something more traditional, formal, magical, romantic, intimate or fun, you get to decide. That’s the best part about a civil ceremony, possibilities are endless! From reading to singing or playing music, you can incorporate surprising and graceful moments for your partner and family to remember forever. 

As a wedding celebrant, I’m here to guide you every step of the way so you can read the perfect text, write the perfect words, sing the perfect notes and live the perfect wedding, the one you imagined. I will conduct your dream ceremony in the UAE so you can fully live the present moment and embrace this day which I hope will be the best of your life.

Blended Family

Marriage can also be much more than the joining of two people! Family and friends can hold an important role to play in your wedding ceremony. If you and/or your love partner have children, it is a wonderful time to include them in the wedding ceremony and seal a new bond for a new family!

What an incredible moment than to witness your child or children be involved on your special day! You can mark the occasion by gifting your child or children with a symbolic present from both parents, such as a bracelet, a necklace or any significant love token. Your wedding ceremony can incorporate the children making a vow to you and you to make a vow to them!

Including a sand blending ceremony to keep as keepsake after the wedding is a brilliant metaphor to strengthen the family link. I would be delighted to talk you through what a blended family ceremony is like and give ideas for your own ceremony that you may have not thought about!

Renewal of Vows

Vows renewal represents a special time in a couple’s life, a celebration of love which often involves children, families and friends. It is a way to reaffirm your love for each other, sometimes after a particularly difficult time or simply celebrate another milestone in your marriage!

It is a time to pause and reflect on where you have been ever since you tied the knot for the first time and think about your future together. Love is a work in progress and love is sacred! We should always celebrate it with joy, fun and kindness.

With my help as a wedding celebrant, your ceremony can be as creative and as personal as you want it to be! You may want to relive the special day when you first said “I Do” to each other, replay that special music you walked down the aisle to or have new wedding bands made for this wonderful occasion.

Baby Naming Ceremony

Exciting and wonderful times for a family when a new baby arrives! You are looking for a unique and less traditional ceremony to celebrate the arrival of your baby in the UAE? Create your own custom naming ceremony with my help as a ceremony celebrant!

You can have friends, family and your other child or children involved in the ceremony, have a traditional god-parent or a non traditional guardian or guiding parents, include a song or a few readings, include non religious blessing from the family.. The choices are yours!

I am excited to discuss any ideas you may have and I can share many additional ideas to explore all celebration options!
