My
Story
What my Couples
say about me
We wanted to send you a message to say thank you so much for all your effort that went into our ceremony - from the planning phases / the questionnaire and multiple versions of drafts we really appreciated how collaborative you were with us to make it a personal ceremony that really showcased us as a couple. Everyone commented on how fun the ceremony was - and we all know often wedding ceremonies aren’t usually fun! We’re very glad we chose you as our celebrant - you really contributed to it being the most amazing day of our lives!
I have lived in the beautiful south west of France for over 17 years and loved every minute of the French countryside and lifestyle. I moved with my wife Alison and originally our 22 horses and many dogs but we now have a simpler life with just the two dogs Darcy and Bess.
​
I have been married to Alison for over 40 years and we have four grown up children and eleven grandchildren who are a big part of our lives and our home in the summer holidays is a chaotic but happy mess with lots of laughter.
​
In a previous life many years ago I served for thirty years as a Police Detective with New Scotland Yard and I have experienced and seen a great deal during my career, so much so that I bring a wealth of knowledge of life and professionalism, I have a calm and relaxed manner, which helps to put couples at their ease and assure them that their special day will be perfect.
I will listen to you carefully and work with you to deliver a warm, heartfelt and bespoke ceremony that is as individual as you and create those wonderful memories, which you will treasure for the rest of your lives.
