Love Stories
Lucy & Abdi
"We had met with a few celebrants to find the perfect fit for us as a couple and Karlina was definitely the best. She was very personable and we immediately felt comfortable getting to know her. She wanted to make sure we picked the right ceremony for us and spent time going through all of the options. There were elements of the ceremony we wanted to add in and she worked everything in beautifully. The day itself was perfect and our guests commented on how wonderful and touching the ceremony was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!"
Set in a beautiful walled garden, their guests had travelled across the world to see this gorgeous couple get married. The wedding dress was made with delicate white feathers, just stunning! They wanted to incorporate a symbolic wine ceremony along with some of their family reading out amazing handwritten poems.

"Karlina designed the wonderful wedding ceremony for our woodland-themed wedding this summer. She got it absolutely spot-on. The ceremony was the perfect combination of professional and personal. Karlina dedicated time getting to know us both as a couple beforehand so that the words she wrote for us were unique and drew on some of our favourite memories and experiences together. She did this so well, that her writing and readings had everyone in tears. Happy ones of course! She has a lovely way with words and was able to express for us just what we wanted to share with our friends and family. At the beginning, we had no idea of how to plan or organise our own ceremony and Karlina was able to guide us through a wide range of options, meaning that it ran smoothly, succinctly and included the various elements that we wanted to include from a traditional ceremony as well as incorporating elements of pagan and humanist ceremonies too. The day went perfectly and we couldn’t have chosen a better, more caring and creative celebrant than Karlina."
A beautiful fairytale wedding in the middle of an enchanting wood with their guests dressed as mythical woodland creatures. The girls wrote their own vows which were funny and beautiful, they also incorporated a Hand ceremony

"We would like to express how grateful we are that you were able to be part of our wedding day. Thank you for creating, what for us was the perfect ceremony. It summed up everything we wanted to have said in front of our family and friends, and you delivered it so well. We couldn’t have been happier with it and received so many compliments about you and how perfect the ceremony was. The first dance routine you choreographed and taught us was also so good, and we both actually said how we enjoyed doing it so much, even though we were a little nervous before to say the least! We just wanted to say a big heartfelt thank you for all your help and everything you did to make the ceremony so beautiful and memorable! We couldn’t have been more happier with it. We would have no hesitation in recommending you. We really enjoyed the day and wouldn’t have changed a thing! x"
The Idyllic barn staged the perfect setting for a perfect wedding, with magical fairy lights and flowers everywhere, and an angelic harpist playing to create a romantic scene. Family and friends travelled from Australia to be part of their special day. I also choreographed their first dance which we rehearsed over 3 sessions, it was so romantic.

All their family & friends worked together and decorated a charming village hall, it was a day full of love, their family were involved in their ceremony too playing a part in a handfasting ceremony. They also had the biggest tower wedding cake, made out of cheese!
Hannah & Michael
"Karlina was warm and professional from the very start. She made sure that she got to know us (and us her) and was very keen to ensure that our ceremony was personal to us and suited who we were as people and as a couple. We aren't hugely spiritual people and didn’t want to opt for any of the alternative ceremonies but this wasn’t a problem at all (although this is something Karlina offers and is very good at - it just wasn’t us). We were looking for a ceremony that was of an official feeling but individual to us and not too stiff. Karlina managed to tell our story and create the perfect ceremony. We feel truly lucky to have found Karlina, she gave us a ceremony that both made us and our guests laugh and cry. We couldn't be more thankful to Karlina or recommend her highly enough. You wont regret it."
The wedding venue was spectacular and felt like an old cathedral with amazing acoustics, decorated with their own special touches. The wedding cake was unreal as the groom was a cake sculpture from the famous Chockywockydooda in Brighton. Such a grand and beautiful setting.
Rhiannon & Tom
"We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you curated and led, we felt so comfortable and at ease considering the enormity of the day and that was a real testament to your presence. Karlina is such a helpful and warmhearted person, with a professional yet very down-to-earth approach. Karlina helped us tailor our wedding ceremony with a range of available options and got to know us individually and as a couple, which was directly reflected in the ceremony on the day. By telling our story in a way which our friends and family knew us, everyone was part of the beautiful, touching and funny ceremony. We are still receiving lovely comments from all those that attended on how much they enjoyed it. We are so grateful to have met Karlina and cannot recommend her highly enough."
A festival style wedding in the countryside by a lake, with marquees, bell tents, hay bales and so much more, it was such a beautiful setting for a perfect wedding for a gorgeous couple.
Leonie & Lewis
"Karlina really made our day so special. She took so much time and attention on our ceremony and made sure everything was perfect. The words she wrote were beautiful and included everything we wanted. Karlina made us feel comfortable and completely at ease through everything and was an absolute star on our wedding day. If you are looking for a professional but also friendly and just lovely celebrant, I would highly recommend Karlina . Thank you again so much."
A wedding close to my heart as I was marrying my niece and her partner! Family and friends made an empty barn come to life, it was just amazing, from bunting, magical lights and balloons suspended, homemade natural wooden signs and a tiki bar. Delivering the ceremony was emotional and hard to hold back the tears, it was simply beautiful and such an honour as always.
