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.

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!

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.

Couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. Heartfelt, kind and sweet, Miranda made our ceremony feel really special and unique, intimate and fun! It was exactly what we hoped for!! There were tears but also lots of laughter! Thank you!! ❤️❤️

Hiring Miranda to be our wedding celebrant was a decision that my wife and I were extremely happy with. From our first ever contact, it was like talking to a friend. There was no awkwardness, no boring formal conversations, the whole process just flowed nicely. The way in which she takes you through everything is effortless. She guides you, gives you ideas but also understands if you want to take a little more control should you want to. My wife and I, (and our kids by the way!) adore her. She’s an incredible person, celebrant and delivered her duties wonderfully. Extremely happy! Thanks Miranda, you were a part of our special day and I wouldn’t change it so thanks for making it perfect and suited just for us.

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!

Our ceremony was more perfect than anything we could have ever imagined. Miranda captured my husband and I perfectly. It was us. There wasn’t a single part of the entire ceremony that wasn’t personalised to us. Everyone has commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the barn! She didn’t just support us on the day but for 2 years leading up to the day! She was a godsend when we had to postpone due to covid and was such a huge support. Having a celebrant lead ceremony was the best decision we made. Miranda made us both feel at ease on a day when we were both a little nervous! She encouraged us to write our own vows. We have both said that this was the highlight of the day and will treasure our printed vows forever.

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!

Miranda was an absolute pleasure and joy to work with! She was not only our celebrant during our wedding day, but she also our wedding agony aunt whilst re-planning our wedding three times during the pandemic. Given most people have never planned a wedding before, she is so happy to provide useful guidance and advice about all aspects of your wedding and isn’t just your celebrant! Miranda really loves to get to know her couples which enables her to write a really personal and beautifully crafted ceremony. She keeps certain aspects a surprise which is such a lovely touch for the couple to enjoy on the day. She works with you to write a ceremony that is meaningful and tells a story about your relationship, goals and wishes together as married couple. We would highly recommend Miranda as a celebrant and master of ceremonies. She was absolutely fantastic on the day, kept our day running like clock work, working with all of our vendors and running our timetable; meaning as the couple we didn’t have to worry about a thing as the vendors were able to liase with Miranda and not bother us, which it’s worth its weight in gold.

My husband and I would 100% recommend Miranda. We were planning a last minute wedding and Miranda went out of her way to ensure we had the perfect ceremony, she absolutely went above and beyond and added so much to our wedding. We will always be grateful and glad we now have it to remember forever.
