YOUR PERSONAL CELEBRANT
Ceremonies as unique as you
Hello, My name is Paula.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my site.
I am a certified independent secular celebrant that loves supporting people by creating unique and bespoke services to celebrate their most important celebrations and life's rites of passage.
I can create a completely personal and authentic celebration that suits you, that tells your story, your way, that reflects your tastes, that sums up who you are and how you want to celebrate your most special events in life. This might be your wedding , a vow renewal or introducing a new member of the family and new beginnings.
Whatever the occasion, together we can create the most authentic, heartfelt and personalised ceremony that you and your loved ones will always remember.
Weddings
When your love is too big to fit into a box,
a 'one-size-fits-all' ceremony just won't do.
Every couple and every love is unique and your celebration should reflect you, your personality, your style, your taste. All kinds of love are to be honoured and celebrated. I will take the time to get to know you, and the story of your love.
Whether you want a small and intimate ceremony with just a few friends and loved ones, or the biggest and grandest of parties, the celebration of your love and commitment to each other will be central. I will help ensure your wedding will not be the same as any other wedding that has come before, nor any that will come after it.
The place for your ceremony is almost limitless! Do you want to have your special day in a forest, a field, a barn or a beach? Would you like to be married in a hall or your garden, in the daytime or in the evening? As an independent celebrant I can work with you to conduct your ceremony in a place that suits you.
Rituals and symbols such as hand fasting, ring warming or sand blending can be incorporated to highlight and emphasise your special moments and will reflect your individuality and uniqueness, making your ceremony different from anyone else's.
Rituals
A celebration as individual as you
Whether you are celebrating a civil partnership or a marriage, adding a ritual to your ceremony can bring a unique experience for you and your loved ones to share.
Maybe you would literally like to tie the knot with a hand fastening ritual or accept the love and blessings from your friends and family with a ring warming ceremony, or maybe jump into the next stage of your relationship by jumping the broom?
As your personal celebrant I can integrate rituals into your special day.
Naming Ceremonies
Introducing a new member of your family to you loved ones is always a joyous occasion. Whether you have a new baby, an adoption, blending a family or a new identity to celebrate, I can create a personalised ceremony for you that integrates your friends and family into your new beginings.
About me
I am a secular, independent, modern celebrant.
I am based in Brighton with a grown up family. I have been married for 47 years. I have trained and certified by the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants in marriage and family celebrancy.
I have spent my life working with people and making great communication a cornerstone of all of my work. I have been a trainer, a public speaker, a personal coach, and have owned my own businesses. I have learned to listen, carefully and actively to people. There is something absolutely wonderful about love, every type of love, love in all its forms, so becoming a celebrant that celebrates and supports love is about the most fabulous job that I can possibly think of. I bring my life experience, my passion for people and joy of communicating to this role.
Paula Lewendon - trained, certified celebrant.
