“Well, who would have guessed just how invaluable and fun a wedding celebrant who really knows their stuff could be? John, your calm and humorous eloquence tied everything together beautifully and we are still buzzing."
Mike and Kristina
"Our friends and family haven't been able to stop talking about just how special and personal our ceremony was. John took the time to get to know us in order to really encapsulate the 'story of us'. We knew we wanted our ceremony to be light and fun and there certainly was lots of laughter ."
Lydia and Arthur
"Couldn't recommend John enough !! He was such a wonderful celebrant, and he put together such a special ceremony for us. John made a real effort to get to know us properly beforehand, he gave us so much wise advice that we really felt he was central to our day.
We wanted a relaxed and informal ceremony, that still felt special and personal - I think we managed to achieve this and lots of our guests said it was the most personal wedding ceremony they had been to.
It was amazing to kick off our wedding day with such a special moment, we'll never forget the hand-tying ceremony incorporating all of our best friends and mums. Every time we look at our rings we think about all the guests that "warmed" them! Both of these were only possible due to John's suggestions, advice and facilitation on the day."

Hello there...

I’m John, the Southville Celebrant, a wedding celebrant who loves to help create truly memorable wedding ceremonies.
I’ve lived in South Bristol for 25 years, and while I specialise in Bristol and CUBA – the County that Used to Be Avon – I’m very happy to travel within the West Country and beyond.
I’ve conducted grand ceremonies in country-house hotels in Devon, intimate ceremonies on top of Cornish clifftops, and there have been lots of variations in between.
Creating your ceremony
Let's work together to create your big day, exactly the way you want it!
You may have some firm ideas, you may want guidance and suggestions, either way I’ll work with you to help create an unforgettable ceremony.
Getting to know each couple, so that we can create a ceremony to truly reflect who you are, is the best part of my job.
There are so many ways to involve family and guests, and I love exploring weddings traditions and suggesting elements so that you have a ceremony to remember.
Eastern European bread and salt ceremony – why not? Cornish tartan in the handfasting braids – lovely! Bit of RuPaul for the grooms to sashay away – absolutely! Singalong to a favourite Abba track - great fun!
This will be one of those days in life when the world really does revolve around you.
I’d love to be the wedding celebrant helping you make it one of the best days of your life.
Drop me a line and we can have a chat.
