Ceremonies and Celebrations

Weddings, Committment Ceremonies and Rites of Passage

There are moments in all of our lives that need to be acknowledged.

​

Some, like marriages, the arrival of new babies or the end of life, are rich with cultural traditions and social expectations.

​

But for other significant life events – like diagnosis, divorce, retirement or menopause for example – it can be less clear how to honour or acknowledge them.

​

And for some ‘rites of passage’ like moving to a new home, coming of age, or gender transition we just lack fluency in our culture around how to mark and celebrate these significant moments.

​

That is where a bespoke, celebrant-led ceremony can be a great option. 

​

When you feel that you would like to gather your closest people to mark an important moment in your life in a way that reflects you and your values, but you’re not sure where to start……I can help! 

​

Ceremonies can be very small - I can hold space just for you, or with a chosen few, to acknowledge a significant event in a way that feels safe, nourishing and meaningful. Or your ceremony can include a big crowd of the people you love to witness, celebrate and stand beside you.

​

Every ceremony I write and deliver is completely different - because creating ceremonies which honour, celebrate and witness each unique and individual human experience is one of my greatest joys. 

​

I love ceremony and ritual, and have a deep appreciation for the role these can play in helping to navigate life’s most important and challenging transitions.  I feel very privileged to be invited to walk alongside families and individuals at some of the most tender and significant moments of their lives.

“Joy put so much energy and love into our ceremony. We loved our sessions together in the run up to the big day - Joy put us instantly at ease and helped us reflect on what was really important. The result was a unique and unforgettable ceremony which we will remember forever! “

Lizzie & Shaun Geaney, Sept 2024
