Welcome to
The Tall Trees Celebrant

Heartfelt ceremonies, creatively curated with loving care.

A warm welcome. I am Jilly, The Tall Trees Celebrant. I am a fully qualified independent and heart-led celebrant offering ceremony services across Gloucestershire, surrounding counties and beyond.

Each individual human is as unique as each tree that grows in the world. Each ceremony, whether a wedding, a vow renewal, a funeral, a naming or any life event you wish to celebrate can reflect this uniqueness. I am passionate about making life’s transitions truly celebratory and meaningful. My role as The Tall Trees Celebrant is to design a script that forms a sincere and special ceremony, that shines a light on you and your love story, life story or new beginning. A memorable and heart-full celebration embracing personalised word-story, music, memories, rites and rituals and all that feels precious to you.

In honour of the ceremonies I write and officiate, I pledge to donate a number of trees annually via worldlandtrust.org

Heart-Led Celebrancy

“The art and soulful practice of creating, writing and officiating sacred ceremonies.” ~ Veronika Robinson

My training experience with Heart-Led Celebrants expresses a distinct way of working, taking considered time to get to know you. I will hear, honour and nurture your ideas, wishes, dreams, experiences and memories, creatively weaving them into your ceremony. Each Tall Trees Celebrant ceremony script is consciously crafted especially for you.

I’d be delighted to hear from you and highly recommend that you contact a handful of celebrants in your preparation and planning. In essence, find a connection that feels comfortable, warm, trusting and respectful.
