A Safe Pair of Hands for Your Most Precious Moments
Hi, I’m Hazel, an independent professional celebrant based near Milton Keynes.
A Little Bit About Me
Life has a funny way of putting you exactly where you need to be, and for me, that place is celebrancy. I love people, I love life, and I love helping dreams come true.
I’m a Mum of four in a wonderful, blended family. While the kids are all adults now, they still help me see the world in different ways and certainly keep me on my toes! Home is near Milton Keynes, where I live with my husband and our gorgeous Labrador, who keeps this completely dog-mad family busy with plenty of long country walks.
My friends describe me as sensitive, compassionate, articulate, and sincere, with a ready smile and a good sense of humour. It’s those exact qualities I bring to every family I work with, ensuring you have a supportive, warm guide by your side every single step of the way.
I’ve seen first hand what a difference a great celebrant can make, telling your story, your way, that will have your guests talking about it for all the right reasons. When you find the right celebrant, that’s when the magic begins. I hope you think I’d be the right celebrant for you. Let’s chat!
A Few of My Favourite Things
Life is short, let’s celebrate it.
The Simple Joys
I have a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures in life, especially cake, cheese, quality time with friends, and my family.
A Good Catch-Up
There is nothing better than a good laugh over a coffee or a crisp glass of wine (particularly a Sauvignon Blanc!).
Wanderlust
I am incredibly curious and love seeing new places. If you fancy a destination ceremony abroad, I am always happy to travel.
Never Stop Learning
I believe you never stop growing. If there is a unique tradition, culture, or symbolic element you want me to research, I am entirely up for it.
From Chartered Accountant to Creative Celebrant
The perfect blend of structured logic and heartfelt storytelling.
I know what you’re thinking, a Chartered Accountant isn’t the first profession you associate with the emotional, creative world of celebrancy! But look closer, and you’ll find the skills go hand in hand. My corporate background means I bring a precise, calm, and organised structure to your logistics, so you can completely relax and focus on the emotion of your day.
Listening Deeply
My career has always been about truly listening to people and developing exactly what they want, not just what a rigid template says they need.
Flawless Logistics
I excel at managing moving parts smoothly, professionally, and strictly on time. Your ceremony is safe in my hands.
Confident Delivery
Whether it’s storytelling or presenting, I know how to get a meaningful message across clearly while confidently holding a room.
Seamless Collaboration
With a strong background in business development, I love working alongside wedding planners, funeral directors, and venues. I handle the professional liaison behind the scenes so everyone is on the exact same page.
Proudly Supporting Our Community
Wherever there is a human in need, there is an opportunity for kindness.
Making a Tangible Difference
Sincerity, compassion, and presence are at the absolute core of who I am. Outside of my celebrancy work, I try to make a real difference in our local Milton Keynes community by volunteering for a wonderful cancer charity, Al’s Pals.
Through Al’s Pals, I support cancer patients and their families both in the hospital and at home. This work has profoundly deepened my empathy, refined my listening skills, and given me the immense privilege of holding people’s hands through some of life’s most vulnerable and significant chapters. When you work with me, you are getting that exact same authenticity, passion, and dedicated care.
My Promise to You
Your day, your way, every step of the way.
Your life, your love, and your story are entirely unique. Your goodbye, your welcome, or your wedding day should be too. I’m not afraid to be different, and I am here to hold your hand and guide you through it all.
Let’s write the next chapter together
Whether you have a clear vision or don’t even know where to start, please don’t worry, that’s exactly what I’m here for. Let’s find a time to catch up for a free, friendly chat over a coffee or a glass of wine, and see how we can bring your milestone to life.
