  • Life B.C

..When you are entrusting someone to officiate, write or tell the story of your most important life events, it's good to get to know a little bit about that person behind their vocation, so here's a  little bit about me, and my life 'B.C.' (Behind Celebrancy)


My family...

I am blessed to be married to 'the lovely Jay'.  Our lovely daughter, our rescue dog, and Jay's cherished beaten up VW Campervan, complete our family unit.


What soothes my soul and lifts my spirits...

My go-to mood boosters are Agatha Christie's stories, crime novels, history, decluttering, Yorkshire Tea and John Barry's music 'The Old Woman' from my favourite film 'Somewhere in Time'.  I am fascinated by Hummingbirds, considered to be spiritual messengers, representing the colour, fleetingness and enjoyment of life. Their tiny wings move in a figure eight pattern (the ancient symbol of continuity)


The thing that brings me the most solace, is listening to Jay singing around our home when he is warming up his voice or learning new songs; if you are looking for a singer to provide 'chilled out' live acoustic music at an event do consider him - he's AMAZING  -  www.playjay.co.uk 


Most embarressing and humbling moment...

...There have been many, but one of the most mortifying moments was when I was shopping for groceries, wondering why people were staring at me, realising (when I got home) that I still had the blue plastic shoe covers on, that I had been wearing while I was watching my daughter at her swimming lesson. I was SO embarrassed! My most humbling moment was the first funeral service I was invited to officiate - to be entrusted with the memory of someone else's loved one is the most humbling honour 


My biggest regret...

...Wasting SO much time pouring my energy into things that took me away from the people and things that matter. My vocation is a constant reminder that life is fragile and our time is precious! 


Nicest and most random things anyone has ever said about me, and my favourite quote...

"She's all 'hearts and flowers', "She talks a million miles per hour but gives love and support the same way" and "You've got a nicely shaped head! My favourite quote is "Nothing changes if nothing changes!"
