  Having Helen as our Celebrant was without doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She put a huge amount of effort in to getting to know us on a personal level, as well as our values as a couple. There were conversations in the build up to the big day that honestly we would never have had without Helen’s insight and input, and her creativity and the way she helped structure our ceremony felt so incredibly personal, and this was reflected by the many comments we had from friends and family. We also had many comments from guests who thought we’d known Helen for years, even though we had only met in person twice!! If you’re looking for someone to not only be the voice of your ceremony, but you care about your marriage as a whole and want to really go deep and find out what is important to you, Helen is your girl!! Thank you Helen, we are so glad to have made a friend along the way too 😃

  Helen Noble - my hero - a beautiful, warm, clever woman! I found Helen in May when our celebrant cancelled on us less than 24 hours before our wedding ceremony. Needless to say I was stressed out of my head but as soon as I heard her voice on the phone, I felt completely reassured and hopeful again. She made everything so easy for us. We just wanted someone who would talk about our love and our story and that’s what she did - it was completely tailored to us. She gave us a questionnaire and seeing as it was so short notice, I wasn’t sure she was even going to read it so I just wrote a few quick answers. But she did, and incorporated lots of little details and the ceremony that she made was so cleverly done, Helen has a gift for this job! Everyone told me what a beautiful ceremony it was! Hardly a dry eye in the house! Helen literally saved the day and I can’t thank her enough. Anyone looking for a wedding celebrant - choose Helen. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job. I just wish we had chosen her from the beginning! Nobody could imagine that she had put our ceremony together in just a few hours, working late at night to get it done in time - showing her dedication to the job. She spoke as if she had known us for years and somehow when I met her, I felt as if we had! Brides - this is exactly the kind of woman you want around on your wedding day. I wish we could have another ceremony by her. Thank you Helen!

  Could not have dreamt of a better celebrant. We were a bit lost and overwhelmed and Helen led us so smoothly through the whole thing. It is difficult putting so much trust in someone for such an important role but Helen made the process enjoyable, smooth and everyone loved her. We could not recommend her enough.

  From the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU, Helen. Your care, attention to detail, organisation, support, energy and kindness will never be forgotten. You made a point to take care of us and our families throughout the day and especially during our beautiful ceremony. It did not go unnoticed. It’s been a joy to work with you and get to know you. We’re so incredibly lucky to have had you at our wedding! You created the most beautiful atmosphere from the get go. Camilia xx

  Helen is just wonderful! She listened to our whole love story and put together an amazing script! I highly recommend a celebrant led ceremony to any couples looking to get married. It’s magical and personal and so so special! This was our third attempt at getting married after covid got in the way. Helen was there every step of the way! Thank you so so much!

  Helen is an amazing celebrant, and helped us put together the perfect wedding day and ceremony. From our first meeting she instantly put us at ease and made us feel excited about creating the ceremony together. Though we were both nervous about writing our own vows, Helen reassured us, and turned it into something that we both really enjoyed, and that we’ll look back on fondly. On the day Helen made everything so smooth and reassuring, with a ceremony that was really personal to us, and that we and our guests all really enjoyed. Thank you so much Helen!

  Helen assisted us with our wedding just last week which went perfectly. Not only did she travel to our house to rehearse the ceremony with us beforehand, write the script and advise on readings/poems, she also saved us from being late down the aisle by styling the bridesmaids dresses herself.. whilst I was getting into my dress. We are so pleased that Helen was able to be there on our big day and all of our guests commented on how lovely she is. Helen’s energy is just amazing. She will light up the room, steady nerves and she is happy to be an extra pair of helping hands when needed! Would definitely recommend.

  Due to a last minute change in venue we found ourselves two weeks before our wedding without a Registrar. We decided to go with a Celebrant-led ceremony instead and found Helen online. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of our whole wedding. Helen was brilliant from start to finish, she really made our ceremony special and was such a bright and bubbly presence that many of our guests commented how great she was - I think several of them thought we’d known her for years, not weeks! Having approached Helen in a state of real panic, she managed to not only calm us down, but reignite the excitement of planning our ceremony exactly the way we wanted it. She took the time to get to know us and made some lovely suggestions for those added touches to make it special - such as a mother’s kiss blessing and ‘tying the knot’. We were both a little worried about writing our own vows but with Helen’s help, they turned out to be the most special part of the day - and something we’ll both now treasure. Practically speaking, we had a slightly complicated layout for the ceremony with the usual aisle and then a side room also full of guests. Helen’s theatre experience was invaluable in making sure everyone got a great view and the ceremony flowed well. Even when we or our readers made little mistakes in where we were standing or mishearing bits, she dealt with it expertly - putting us at ease and making everyone laugh and feel relaxed. It was such a perfect human touch, thank you Helen - you really are the best!

  Helen is an absolute star, her passion and knowledge put a lot of our worries at ease and her willingness to help out is truly wonderful. She has a fantastic attitude, great at communication and really worked hard to help us find solutions. I couldn’t recommend her enough and she would definitely be the first person I’d call if me and my partner decided to renew our vows.

  For many brides planning your own wedding can be a stressful, nerve racking and generally overwhelming time. However, on top of these usual stresses and anxieties I also have to juggle with having Autism/ Asperger’s syndrome. Therefore, choosing a celebrant who would be neurodivergent friendly was of upmost important to me and my now husband, Adam. But we most certainly achieved this, when we found Helen noble to be the celebrant for our big day on 14th august 2021!!! The moment me and my husband spoke to Helen we knew that she was the one, after I had 4 days to find a new celebrant when we rescheduled our wedding due to covid. In fact, within 5 minutes of ending our call with Helen, we immediately cancelled 2 other celebrant chats and confirmed that she was the one, all based on how comfortable and safe I felt during our call. In the build up to our wedding Helen provided set plans and deadlines for what would be done when, which minimised a great deal of uncertainty that I was feeling about the wedding. She also provided us with some great quizzes to complete as a couple which allowed us to offer up details about our relationship without her being present, meaning when me and my husband discussed it with Helen I already had a rough idea of which direction the conversation would go. Helen is incredibly good at reading the mood and adjusting things to ensure that we felt comfortable as a couple. Indeed, when our ‘hours’ wedding planning zoom turned to a fun chat about all things wedding (and general life) I did not feel worried that we wouldn’t cover all the points or that I would have to go to sleep with an unfinished wedding plan. Instead, we simply extended the zoom, all ordered dominoes and continued the meeting until the whole wedding scehedule and script was complete. So once the planning was complete, and I had asked all the questions I possibly could, both celebrant and general wedding related and received lots of non-judgemental answers it was onto the wedding week itself. Unlike some celebrants, Helen ALWAYS offers a rehearsal, which I feel was particularly important to me as a bride with an autistic spectrum disorder. At this rehearsal, Helen showed up in good time and enjoyed a glass of bubbly and a doughnut with myself, my husband and our bridal party who’d had a long day setting up the venue. This relaxed start helped ease a lot of the wedding nerves. Once we were all ready, we ventured out to the grass outside where the ceremony would be, despite it being a rather windy, cold and unpleasant day, as Helen wanted to ensure that I got an exact feel for how the ceremony would go on the day. During the rehearsal we went through absolutely every element, including the music and the walking down the aisle and there was a great sense of reassurance and relief that I now actually knew what I would do the next day. On the wedding day, Helen conducted a beautiful ceremony, using her confident, bubbly persona to portray our fun, unique and completely ‘food driven’ relationship. Being the “loud and proud autistic” that I am I was delighted at how much helen captured what that meant to me and Adam in our ceremony, and everyone said how every “us” the ceremony really was. The whole ceremony was filled with laughter, tears and even a cheeky drink to calm our nerves after the “I dos”. Every element of the wedding was thought about and handled by helen. She even ensured that there were no “play it by ear” moments about the weather, instead we would have an outdoor ceremony and if it rained the guests could carry there chairs indoor and we would just carry on. However, it turned out to be a beautiful day and helen ran into where I was getting ready, to let me know that the sun was shining and I should apply some sun cream. And Helen even stayed around after the ceremony to cheers our marriage, and check everything was running smoothly. Therefore, if you consider yourself to be on the autistic spectrum, have ADHD, dyslexia or your just simply a very anxious person then helen is the women for you!
