Our approach is relaxed, compassionate, and collaborative. We’ll take the time to listen, to understand your wishes, and to work with you to design a service that feels comfortable and true to your family.

Let us help you tell their story, their way.”

Hello, I’m Dene.
My path to celebrancy began unexpectedly, sparked by my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. Witnessing the power of a heartfelt, unique tribute ignited a passion within me to help others create meaningful moments.
Prior to becoming a celebrant, I served for many years as a Police Officer, under West Mercia, working closely with families and schools. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of human connection, empathy, and the importance of listening with an open heart. I learned to navigate sensitive situations with care, and to hold space for the full spectrum of emotions that arise during life’s significant moments.

As a fully qualified and registered celebrant with UKSOC, I’m committed to providing a professional and supportive service. My focus is on crafting personalised ceremonies that reflect the unique life and spirit of the person you’re remembering. I believe in creating a space where stories are shared, memories are cherished, and a genuine sense of connection is fostered.
