When I'm not surrounded by under 5's and hearing my name 2000 times a day 😉 or marrying beautiful couples, I can be found in the garden, reading a book, with my quiz team at our weekly quiz, baking for a charity organization or enjoying a drink in the sun with friends and family.

    Hi, I’m Ollie. When I’m not helping couples say “I do,” you’ll probably find me running or biking up a hill somewhere before breakfast with my dog, Maggie (equal parts energiser and endorphin-chaser) - fuelled, of course, by a strong coffee.

    Hi I’m Jade, I love to laugh, listen, and celebrate people (and life!). From hairdresser to teacher, now celebrant, I’ve learned that life’s best moments are spent with the people (and animals!) we love, and making fabulous memories. I’m all about living fully and nudging ourselves out of our comfort zones. When I’m not marrying amazing couples, you’ll find me at a BBQ, hanging out with my hubby and kids, learning new techy things, or cuddled up with my dogs watching a rom-com or thriller. Can’t wait to celebrate your day!

    Hi I'm Jo. When I'm not celebrating love, you'll likely find me in my botanical haven - beautiful enough to host a wedding or two - either with my hands in the soil or simply admiring it with a cuppa in hand. I also enjoy exploring our great home land in our motorhome and work casually for St John, a role close to my heart. I'm a proud mum to three grown-up children and wife to a man who's happiest tinkering away in his workshop at home.
