Let's create a ceremony that really means something...

Whether you're planning a wedding, a naming ceremony, or a funeral or celebration of life, the ceremony should be three things: personal, beautiful and meaningful. It should reflect you, and your loved ones.

Doesn't your ceremony deserve to be so much more than boring, run-of-the-mill, same-as-everyone-else, cookie-cutter, standardised, off-the-shelf, formulaic, bog-standard..?

Weddings: Let me tell your love story, help you write vows that mean something to you, create a day that reflects your personal style and makes others part of it...

Namings: Welcome your new arrival, tell the world about your journey plus promises and hopes for the future, make it a celebration of pure joy... Toddlers, adoptions, blended families and new names as an adult should be celebrated, too...

Funerals and celebrations of life: Say goodbye in a way that truly reflects the spirit of the life they lived and allow me to help you through a difficult day...

For all ceremonies, I'll get to know you, sit down with you, and craft a ceremony that's as special as you are - or they were.
I can also include beautiful symbolic elements.

C'mon, let's blow the cobwebs away, rip up the rulebooks and do it in a way that tells your special story. . . or celebrates their wonderful life

Marlow born & Bred

Hayley Mansell

Hello, I'm Hayley,

I'm a local gal - Marlow born and bred - and I absolutely love this beautiful old town.

As a trained independent celebrant, I began by specialising in funerals, celebrations of life, memorials and the scattering or interment of ashes. It is a privilege to celebrate and honour someone's life - as well as to ease you through what might be a difficult time..

But I then added joyous Naming Celebrations to my service - and now I'm offering Weddings, too! Click on the sections at the top of this site for my latest info, or simply get in touch.

No matter what the occasion, my passion is storytelling, and I'd be honoured to tell the story of your loved one's life or help you celebrate your special day...

A celebrant-led service or celebration means there are very few restrictions. You have so much flexibility in where, when and how you have a service or celebration. So don't be afraid to ask for something 'a bit different'!

My aim is to help you create the ceremony you really want.
