Ceremony & Celebration

Jilly carried out our wedding ceremony writing us a bespoke service. I cannot recommend her enough! The ceremony felt so personal and special. She checked in on a regular basis running through every detail making sure we were 100% happy at every step. We had so many comments after the wedding of how anazing Jilly was and how she made the service feel. Her attention to detail is second to none and she really focuses on what was important to us. She’s amazing !!

Thankyou Rob & Gemma for this fabulous review. It's truly gorgeous to hear how much the ceremony meant to you and that your lovely guests loved it too. You were both a total treat to work with and I wish you a bright and shiny future together. Thanks again Love Jilly xx

Jilly was absolutely the best person for our wedding day! She made the day perfect and we wanted her to stay for the ret of the day. From our very first chat we knew she was going to do the best job we could hope for. She got to know us and our interests and no question was to weird or to much. She checked in with us regularly and when we expressed a block on writing out vows she sent over eight different sets she wrote herself for us to choose from (which was actually really difficult). The script she wrote was me and my husband on a page. Jilly did so much research on our interests (anime, viking and celtic law and rituals) as gave us the perfect ceremony. On the day we couldn't have asked for anything more. She made our day so special and all of our guests loved her and it. A number have actually said they are going to do something similar and renew their vows. Ohers said it was the most interesting and entertaining wedding they had ever been to. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Jilly, for making our special day the most special of days. xxx

What a fabulous review, Thanks so much Tamsin and Craig. I loved working with you both. Your ceremony was such fun to conduct but still so meaningful and I am so pleased your guests loved it too. I remember writing your script, I loved the eclectic elements that made it truly quirky and your responses when you first read it! So brilliant! I love my work and I loved your wedding! Thanks again for your words of gratitude xx

If you are thinking about Jilly for your wedding celebrant – BOOK HER. She was fantastic at every stage. She was never pushy, giving us the time to decide if she was right for us, and that patience continued as we asked questions and plans evolved. She has as a wonderfully collaborative style, balanced with providing thoughtful, tailored guidance and support. She went above and beyond for us and we ended up with a ceremony perfect for us.

Lovely Katherine, I loved getting to know you and Joseph. Your wedding was such a bright, joyful and love filled day. Magic! I am touched by your heartfelt review - thank you xx

Jilly led a beautiful naming ceremony for our daughter in September. During the planning process, she took our thoughts and hopes for the ceremony, suggested ideas using her knowledge and made us feel listened to and respected throughout. Jilly wrote a meaningful script which we will treasure forever. She led the ceremony in a professional manner but with a warm, personal touch. Thank you Jilly for leading us in the celebrations for our little girl.

I had such a lovely time with you all 🩷 Sienna is an absolute joy and it was an honour to conduct and create her naming ceremony with you 🩷 Bright naming blessings xx

Jilly was wonderful to work with, supporting us to bring our ideas for our nature-based wedding ceremony alive, we couldn't have asked for anyone more attentive and caring. Jilly gave us time and space to create our ceremony exactly how we wanted whilst also offering guidance when needed. On the day, Jilly felt so much like part of the family, yet oversaw the ceremony with professionalism. Overall, Jilly made the sometimes bumpy ride of planning our big day, feel so much less stressful and bought a compassionate, warm and knowledgable presence. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant.

Jess and Jim. It was a joy and delight getting to know you both, as was your wedding day. So full of love in a special woodland setting. It will remain in my heart for a long time 💕 Thankyou for such a beautiful review 💕

Where do I start ? Jilly was our celebrant for a very unconventional union. We both felt she ‘got’ us from the first time we met her. Each meeting was relaxed often when other aspects of the wedding planning were in complete chaos. On the hottest day of the year she was cool and calm throughout the ceremony. Her script was word perfect and nailed the tone that we wanted in the very first draft. Jilly was a joy to work with.

Where do I start?! A total joy working with you both right from the outset. A total honour to be your celebrant - thankyou XX

Ash scattering ceremony for our mum. Jilly listened intently and asked lots of questions at our meeting. We were pleasingly overwhelmed when we got her first draft to see how much of mum's life and character she had absorbed and voiced so eloquently. On the day, she guided us and performed the celebration with a quiet and loving warmth, reading us well and giving us a pace that allowed reflection and gave us all joy. Mum would have loved it. We can highly recommend Jilly's thoughtful, kind and detailed services. Thank you, Jilly.

It was such an honour to be in the beautiful woodland setting with you all. Thank you for your kind and appreciative words Shani.

Jilly was truly amazing, it was all very last minute with less than 2 weeks notice. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, walking us through everything to make sure we were happy. Our family loved the ceremony and it was so unique we loved it too. Thank you

Thanks Gem. What a beautiful day we celebrated on. Thanks for this review and for meeting all my deadlines in order to create a special ceremony for you both, in such a ‘snug’ timescale! We did it! 💕 Lovely to work with you both and to hear that your family loved it too 🩷 Happy Anniversary xx

Jilly was brilliant and helped create a bespoke and wonderful wedding renewal for our 10 year anniversary. I would highly recommend her.

Thankyou Chris. A pleasure to create ceremony and celebration for you and Gem. All the very best and here's to another ten years! xx

I can’t recommend “The Tall Trees Celebrant” enough. My wife and I weren’t really sure what elements we wanted to include in our wedding ceremony. From our first meeting, Jilly sussed out our vibe and what was important to us in our relationship, and from that, she came up with so many great ideas for rituals that would have special meaning to us. The whole process was delightful. We felt like we were in very safe hands as Jilly took the time to really get to know us and gave us many opportunities to check in while preparing the script for the big day. It was definitely the least stressful of all the wedding planning elements. Thank you so much for a wonderful and unforgettable ceremony.
