As well as being a celebrant, I continue to work in Education, where I find my skills to be mutually beneficial! Having orchestrated many assemblies, school shows and entertained hundreds of children during wet playtimes during my time of being a Head Teacher, I use my finely tuned organisational skills to always deal positively and efficiently with changing and unexpected situations!

My commitment to understanding the needs of others is fundamental to my approach in all aspects of life. When conducting weddings and funerals, I strive to add a personal touch that makes each ceremony special and memorable. Weddings are a celebration of love and unity, and funerals are a tribute to a unique life lived. In both cases, my goal is to create an atmosphere of warmth, empathy and sincerity.

Through spending time with families and couples, taking the time to understand their stories, values, and emotions, we can co-create each ceremony to reflect their true essence and make them exactly as they want them to be. I love spending time with my husband and our blended family. Just being together, eating a meal, enjoying a box set or dancing around to 80s music! It’s the simple things in life that bring me joy, happiness and contentment. Oh, and the odd surprise city break!

My motto in life is always be kind, have courage and try and find a reason to laugh.

Ali has just conducted my dad's funeral service and burial. She was absolutely outstanding in her professional yet compassionate approach throughout the planning and the services themselves. My dad could not have had a more fitting and respectful tribute.

Additionally, Ali tuned in to the complexities of family relationships and was emotionally attuned to how every person was feeling. An outstanding celebrant. Thank you. How can I put this in a review online? With so many thanks.

Before this meeting, as a family we were full of trepidation and sadness, not knowing what to expect at such a harrowing time in our lives. Ali brought a light into the room with her professional, friendly personality, putting us all at ease straight away. Ali began by asking the most basic questions then before long; we were reminiscing and sharing stories about dad with ease. Smiles, giggles and tears, as these occasions should be. Ali was supportive when we chatted about family dynamics and offered calm and reassurance that the day would only be about celebrating Dad’s life. She would support and guide us through the day. We were also reassured that the family run Crematorium offered the most respectful care while conducting their business. This is information you don't know you need to know until you know! Ali communicated constantly as the Ceremony drew closer. She changed and added to her draft until she had confirmation that we were all happy with its contents. Eulogy The eulogy was beautiful and captured Dad’s good nature and kindness. Ali shared how he invested in others to bring the best out of them. It was a true reflection of him at work, rest and play. Our Dad had a wicked sense of humor and, throughout the ceremony, Ali shared this with the gathering and they had a good laugh too. The Family are so grateful for all she did to make sure the celebration was perfect. My Brother, Aunt and I have received many messages saying the service encapsulated our Addie.
