Heartfelt Ceremonies written

We recommend Jo at Sunlight Celebrancy whole-heartedly!

Jo met with us before the ceremony to discuss our vision of how we wanted the Naming Ceremony to be and what elements we wanted to include. When she sent the script to us, it was perfect in every way and we didn’t want to change a thing! She arrived an hour before everything kicked off to make sure everything was in order and to talk to our six Godparents about what was going to happen.
The ceremony itself was spectacular – so moving in every way; she had everyone roaring with laughter and also crying their eyes out! We also planted a cherry tree in the garden with all the guests invited to shovel a spade full of earth around it, so that everyone felt included.
None of the guests had ever been to a Naming Ceremony before and everyone was bowled over at how special it was. And the children loved it! Definitely a very special day that we will always remember with love and happiness.

We had the enormous pleasure of Jo being our incredible wedding celebrant.

From the very beginning, she was enthusiastic, creative, and wonderful in so many ways. Jo made the entire process feel so straightforward and had lots of fun suggestions of how we could make the ceremony personal and special. Her professionalism shone through in every interaction, from our fantastic pre-wedding meetings to the way she guided us through writing our vows and selecting readings. Jo made our service incredibly personal and memorable and we loved every part of the script she crafted. We received countless compliments from our guests about how positive, engaging and 'us' the ceremony was, with several saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever experienced. Her warm and polished style added a special touch to the ceremony, making it just perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant—thank you so much Jo!

Great fun and interesting

A great, fun and interesting ceremony, officiated with confidence and grace, that will set you up for your future ceremonies and delivery. I really enjoyed being present. Great interaction with the couple and guests throughout.

Jo would make any event magical

I knew I wanted to mark my son's first year of life and the wonderful people who had supported us through it in a special way. Though having never attended a naming ceremony before, I wasn't sure how the day itself would look or what the process would be like.

Jo was incredible in her role as Celebrant. She guided me through the whole process with professionalism and utmost warmth, from our very first conversation. Her care and compassion for both of us shone through and I think Sunlight Celebrancy is the absolute right name for what she does. 

She spent time getting to know us, learning about how family, friends and godparents had each contributed across the past year and beyond. I actually think she provides excellent value because her service reaches far beyond the event day itself, with a great deal of preparation beforehand.

The result was a gorgeous day filled with love, respect, gratitude and light. This was despite having to last minute postpone the event from the original date due to my son being unwell and she had so much understanding for the situation.

I can highly recommend Sunlight Celebrancy for any meaningful event in your life. Jo's care, warmth, organisation and dedication shine through in all she does. She would make any event magical.
