Miranda is truly wonderful! Her genuine passion shines through. She got to know us as a couple, went over and above our expectations and was an incredibly special part of our day. She brings heart and soul, if more than 5 stars were an option we would give them! ⭐️

There are not enough wonderful words in the world to describe Miranda herself and the work that she does.
We met Miranda at a wedding fair and we knew nothing of Celebrants and the personalisation that they can bring but we thought we’d ask anyway and thank goodness we did. We just felt so comfortable around her and knew instantly that we wanted her involved. Miranda brought friendship, advice, professionalism, ideas, creativity, support and that was all outside of her actually writing and performing our ceremony. We cannot thank Miranda enough for the difference she made to our lives and our special wedding celebration. We thoroughly recommend getting in touch!

Miranda.. where to start..? For starters, it was total good fortune and a bit of serendipity that Miranda was available for our wedding ceremony, and we thank our lucky stars she was! From the very first meeting we knew we had met someone who could navigate our ceremony with ease, charm and wit! Miranda was incredibly patient and considerate (even whilst ushering along a groom writing his vows last minute!) and most importantly of all- a great laugh. Even with some turbulent weather and last minute plan changes Miranda was able to host an incredible ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Another beautiful touch was the wedding gift of framed vows, and a book of our bucket list adventures. All we can say is run don't walk to book Miranda for your wedding ceremony!

Miranda is just simply the best! From the first moment we spoke, I knew that Miranda would be the perfect celebrant to deliver our ceremony. We initially went down the route of booking a registrar, but found out a couple of months before that we wouldn't actually be meeting or speaking to them before our ceremony, and it didn't quite sit well with what we had dreamed of. Miranda took the time to get to know us and understand our story, and in turn produced the most perfect wedding script. We wanted our ceremony to be fun, exciting and full of surprises, and that's exactly what it was (including the dramatic unplanned shower mid ceremony - thankfully we did have a canopy!) We had a handfasting, surprise ring bearers and a shot (or two) of tequila before tying the knot. Miranda supported us with writing our own vows which we loved reading to each other on the day. It was the best start to such a splendid day, we were on such a high following the ceremony, but we also felt so relaxed and at ease during the ceremony, it was just so magical! We didn't meet Miranda in person until the day of our wedding, but it honestly felt like we'd known each other for years. Miranda's warm, friendly, energetic personally is what makes her such an amazing celebrant, as well as her experience and exciting ideas. Thank you so much!

Miranda led our wedding ceremony and was absolutely fantastic. She was professional throughout the process, making sure we were involved in every step and delivered the most unique ceremony. She is lovely to work with and just a great person. If you’re thinking of getting a celebrant, this is your sign.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Miranda as our wedding celebrant and I could not have been more impressed. From the moment we met, Miranda was warm, friendly, and incredibly professional. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to craft a ceremony that perfectly reflected our personalities and love story. Throughout the planning process, Miranda was attentive, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that everything was just right.
On the day of the wedding, Miranda's grace and poise were immediately apparent. She kept the ceremony running smoothly and ensured that all of our guests felt included and engaged. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received from our guests about how beautiful and unique the ceremony was - all thanks to Miranda's wonderful work.
Overall, I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone looking for a wedding celebrant who is not only professional and knowledgeable, but also warm, caring, and creative. Thank you, Miranda, for making our special day even more memorable!
Ellie and Mike.

Miranda was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start of our wedding planning we knew we didn't want an ordinary wedding- we wanted one that reflected our personalities, both individually and as a couple. Miranda's ceremony certainly did that. Right from the start she took the time to get to know us, through several phone calls and in person meetings. We saw multiple drafts of our ceremony which Miranda was happy to edit until we were happy, and she even helped make sure our vows (which we wrote ourselves) were of a similar length and style. On the day many people commented that it was the best ceremony they've every attended, and it's persuaded a few of our friends to explore having a celebrant led wedding.
Both in the build up to the wedding and on the day itself nothing was too much effort for Miranda, and she takes on so many more roles than just a celebrant. Overall we've been left feeling like we've gained a friend. Thanks Miranda!

When we chose our wedding venue, Miranda was recommended as a celebrant – and boy, are we glad she was! We had an initial consultation call with Miranda and both of us felt completely at ease and she got to know us just through a conversation (rather than dreaded “let me work through a list of questions”). However, the detail and care taken by Miranda from the off was incredible – and what surprised us most was that she was able to figure out and include was important to us without us saying it. She knew how much we valued it being a celebration of our friends and families supporting us, our beagle Albie being included, or even that we’re both incredibly competitive.
As well as asking Miranda to be our celebrant, she kindly offered to be our MC, and we’re thrilled she did. Weddings rarely run as planned, but she was the one consistent thread that held the entire day together. Miranda also has that insane ability to make everybody relax and be their authentic selves – I have no idea how she does it, but she does. Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how our day felt so personal and “nothing could’ve summed us up better”.
In the run up to the wedding we weren’t the most relaxed (think Anna Wintour the night before the Met Gala) but Miranda kept us calm and reminded us that getting married is a joy and that we should enjoy ourselves. On the day, apparently things didn’t go 100% to plan, but we, as a couple, never felt it – because Miranda was orchestrating everything behind the scenes and our day still delivered exactly what we were after.
Honestly, we can’t recommend Miranda enough – our day wouldn’t have been “us” without her and she was there every step of the way – we had numerous zooms, we met at the venue, she even helped us get ready on our day!
Our only regret is that we only heard about Miranda because we were getting married. Everybody needs a Miranda in their lives – she’s the biggest cheerleader, a great coach and a great leader and we’re thrilled to now be lucky enough to call her a friend.

From the first time we met Miranda at our venues open day, right through to post our ceremony she was amazing! We didn't think it would be possible to create a ceremony that incorporated so many personal elements but Miranda helped us do this and suggested various ways to help make it unique to us. She was great to work with and really took the time to get to know us. Many guests commented on how great Miranda was and how lovely it was to sit through a ceremony that went beyond a traditional ceremony.
We are so glad we decided to use Miranda for our ceremony! Thank you so much!

From the moment we met Miranda (via Zoom, thanks Covid!) we knew she was exactly who we would want to conduct our ceremony – friendly, caring and truly interested in getting to know us and our story. The ceremony she crafted was more than we could have hoped. As we were legally married the year before, we wanted something more light hearted to share with friends and family and that’s exactly what Miranda achieved! It was so personal and heart-warming, and we loved the part she kept a surprise where she’d asked us each what inspires us about each other. We will forever be grateful to Miranda for making our day so special and cannot recommend her enough!
