What Do I Do?

At Ceremonies of Life, as a wedding celebrant I create meaningful, unforgettable ceremonies written with you and for you.

​

Every ceremony I deliver is unique to you and your love story - no two weddings are ever the same.  Your story is at the heart of everything, shaping a celebration that truly reflects who you are.

My Approach

I take the time to truly get to know you as a couple - your story, your personalities and what matters most to you - so that your ceremony feels authentic, personal and completely yours.

​

This is more than just a ceremony.  It is a moment that reflects your journey, your love and everything that makes your relationship unique.

My Style

I am especially drawn to ceremonies set in natural or unique environments - places that are significant to you and resonate with you.

​

Whether that is a beach, a woodland, your own garden, a castle or alongside a river, the setting becomes part of your story.

My Values

My mission is to create bespoke ceremonies that reflect your unique journey offering a warm, inclusive space that celebrates your love.

​

All cultures, beliefs and identities are welcomed, honoured and celebrated.

Reviews

Laura A - Bride to Be

Having recently had the pleasure of attending a styled wedding with Joanne, I instantly knew that she was the right person to choose as our celebrant, for mine and my partners’ wedding next year.  Her warmth and uplifting energy was immediate and I just knew that her easygoing, calm and professional manner would help me stay relaxed and on track for what is such an important element of our special day.

 

It’s very clear that she’s committed to co-creating a magical and profound experience that is both sacred and enjoyable, with an emphasis on creating something that is meaningful and unique to us. 

 

I can’t wait to work with her. 

About Me

My name is Joanne Craythorne

Hello and welcome—My name is Joanne and I am a wedding celebrant with a genuine love for creating meaningful, personal ceremonies.

​​

For seven years, I served as a wedding verger in a church, quietly supporting couples as they stepped into one of life’s most meaningful moments.

​

When life changed direction after COVID and a move opened new doors, I realised how much I missed being part of those ceremonies and that led me to retrain as a celebrant—and I’ve never looked back.

​

Now, I bring that same care, calm presence and experience into every ceremony that I create, guiding you through the process and helping you to shape a ceremony that feels natural, relaxed and truly reflective of you both.

​​

It is a privilege to walk beside couples as they begin a new chapter together - two hearts choosing each other again and again and I pour my heart into making each moment ... meaningful, unforgettable and truly yours.
