  I had no idea how personal, fun, intimate, emotional, bespoke, and above all enjoyable a wedding ceremony could be until I saw India perform the wedding for my sister and her wife. The whole experience was so relaxed and entertaining, and I know that was down to India's presence. She managed to maintain a calm, warm, and peaceful environment, yet simultaneously brought the fun and excitement. It felt like she was genuinely delighted to be a part of the day. I was a bridesmaid and she really made the whole wedding party feel involved. In fact, she was such a fabulous part of the experience that she actually inspired to go and train as a celebrant myself, which I have now done! I would never have considered celebrancy as a career if it hadn't been for the wonderful and inspirational part that India played in my sister's wedding, and I know that the brides only had amazing things to say about her. Thank you India for making their wedding so unforgettable, and for quite honestly changing the path of my life.

  India is an absolute pro at her job and an absolute gem of a person. India was our independent on the day wedding coordinator which was one of the best things we budgeted for. India got to grips with all of our wedding planning pretty quickly and was there to answer questions on so many things in the run up to the big day as well as calm our worries in ways that a venue as good as they may be (and ours was incredible) simply can’t be there for you in quite the same way. She is so warm and approachable and you feel like you’ve found a wedding fairy godmother helping you during the build up! On the day itself we had complete faith that our wedding was in the safest of hands. No need for my husband to check in on everything at the venue in the morning or organise last minute decor - India knew all that had to be done and had it all in hand, I can’t tell you how much this calmed us and meant we could enjoy the morning of the wedding. When we got to the venue, everything in India’s control ran smoothly to the letter. Anything we then thought of for later in the day, India was always 3 steps ahead of us! She even stepped in last minute and helped get me changed into my evening wedding dress (a job my mum was going to do but this was something she was worried about as she has a bad arm and those wedding buttons are tricky!) again India to the rescue. So many key guests who were involved with duties on the day commented on how professional, friendly and efficient India was. Just so good at her job! We loved working with India so much and would recommend her and her amazing skills in a heartbeat. Not only can she organise and run the most complex of events, she’s an award winning celebrant too!! 👏👏👏 Thank you India for all you did to make our day flawless Rory and I are so grateful we found you!

  When first organising our wedding, we were encouraged by our venue to book a registrar as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, which is exactly what we did. I hadn’t really put much thought into this side of things and had no idea about the options available to a couple for their ceremony. Over the next few months we attended a fair few weddings - all that featured the same step by step legalities, run of the mill formalities and generally snore-worthy registrars. The more we thought about it, the more we realised that this was so not us and we were going to be dreading the ceremony itself when it came to it. In reality, booking the registrar seemed a sure way to actually be disappointed. You can’t choose your registrar and could end up very unlucky with the person that conducts the most important 30 minutes of your life. So I started doing a bit of research and turned to an old friend who had recently started up a business as a celebrant. India gave me all the best advice and we reconnected on so many levels. We have all the same taste in colours and clothes and how to throw the perfect party - so I knew she’d create the day of our dreams. After all, the ceremony is surely the main reason why you get married, so it definitely shouldn’t be forgettable. We cancelled our registrar with ease and opted for a 2 plus 2 quick legal bit a couple of days later. Fast forward to our wedding day and WOW did we have a ceremony to remember. It was so romantic, so emotional, so hilarious and SO US. Our loved ones could not believe how personal it was. The run up was made so enjoyable for us, India thinks of every single detail, works 24/7 to make amazing things happen and steers you in all the right directions. She totally understood us and what is important to us as a couple and incorporated so many amazing details into our commitment to each other. We are over the moon that we can look back on our ceremony as the absolute best part of our day. We loved every second of it and so did all our guests. Thank you so much India for everything you did to make it a perfect day. Not only did you conduct the perfect ceremony, but you coordinated our loud and busy wedding with such grace - we truly owe you one. The day wouldn’t have been anywhere near as spectacular as it was without you. If you are considering a celebration that encapsulates everything that you are in all the best ways, choose India. She will work her absolute hardest to ensure you have the best day of your lives and will make it happen with a huge smile on her face. What. A. Legend.

  When we first met India, all we really knew was what we didn’t want on our wedding day - we had very little idea of what we did want, beyond a personal and inclusive ceremony that reflects who we are as people and as a couple. India was full of ideas and we left the initial meeting sure that she was the right celebrant for us - enthusiastic, creative, and confident - and booked her almost straight away. We are SO glad we did. India really got to know us, to the point our friends’ and relatives’ names tripped off the tongue, which is no easy feat with a family and friendship groups as complicated as ours. She found creative ways to include everyone we love, in a way that meant both we and they were happy, but without compromising any of our values, despite a very vague brief! We decided to keep the whole ceremony a surprise, which made it extra special - and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. She told our story beautifully, the perfect balance of funny and heartfelt. It couldn’t have been more personal - we are still getting messages from family and friends saying how beautiful the ceremony was and how ‘us’ it felt, and that they cried the whole way through (in a good way!) We’ve even had people tell us they wish they’d done their own wedding differently, having been to ours. So my advice is, don’t make that mistake! Having a celebrant - and specifically India - was the best decision we made. She was also just incredibly lovely and supportive, answering emails and WhatsApps right up till the night before - and SO organised, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day. Seeing India before the ceremony and her face at the end of the aisle was so reassuring, as was having her stay on to event manage our day, which went incredibly smoothly. India, we cannot thank you enough. You’re amazing at what you do and we wish you all the very best for the future. Ellie and Nick

  Not only is India an industry pal but she also was celebrant at our wedding this year. After two years and three dates we were finally married by India and we couldn’t be happier with how everything has worked out. So many people commented how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how it was so different and fun. We enjoyed every minute of the day itself and the lead up including all the chats with India. She has so many great ideas! I can only recommend doing your vows at your local registry office then have a celebrant such as India on the wedding day!

  Flawless from start to finish. India has got years of experience and makes each couple feel like you are the centre of her world. Utterly bespoke, diligent, welcoming, and hard working… by the wedding day it feels more like you’re being married by a friend than a celebrant you found on Google. Can recommend without hesitation!

  India is nothing short of incredible and we were completely blown away by our ceremony and her. She spent so much time getting to know us as a couple and so much thought went into planning the most personal ceremony, it felt so so special to have her as our celebrant. She was so fantastic many of our guests said it was the best ceremony they'd ever seen! She's also a complete professional and put our minds at ease throughout the entire process, and even on the day checking the route the bride would have to walk to make sure I could get down the stairs! Could not recommend India more, and I just wish we could do it all over again! x x x x

  We got married on the 6.8.22 and had the pleasure of having India as our celebrant. From the beginning she was absolutely brilliant, settling nerves, giving advice and generally holding our hand through the whole process. We enjoyed a glass or 2 or Prosecco 2 weeks before the wedding when she came to our house to go through everything and that was a personal touch that goes a long long way. On the day she was amazing, she gave us such a personal ceremony and all of our 100 guests said how beautiful and personal it was and that they’d never been to such a beautiful wedding. If you need a celebrant, look no further! 10/10! Thank you India, you were amazing!!! Rikky and Táhn xx

  India did a fantastic job with our ceremony. She worked with us to create something really special and unique and it was absolutely perfect. Loads of our guests commented on the ceremony. It was warm, engaging, personalised and full of loving vibes especially when compared to the cookie-cutter registrar scripts I've seen at other people's weddings. India clearly really loves what she does, and is really good at it! We can't recommend her enough.

  Initially, my now husband and I had wanted to have a registrar officiate our wedding but due to availability that was not an option - however this turned out to be the best possible option! We initially spoke to India over FaceTime and we could immediately feel a connection. Rather than selling herself and her services, she instead wanted to get to know us as people, and a couple which was lovely. After a couple of FaceTime calls we were able to meet up in person for ‘a quick coffee and a chat’ which ended up lasting about 5 hours! India made the entire process smooth, easy, and completely bespoke to our relationship; we both loved how much she got to know both of us throughout the whole process. On the day, India arrived early and was insistent that she help with the set up, as well as finding time to check in on both my and my husband. We still have guests commenting on how great the ceremony was, and how personal it was to us. Thank you so much India for our gorgeous ceremony!
