Hi, I’m Rebecca.
A bit about me first. I live in Sheffield with my partner, our two girls and the cat. My career has been a varied one.
I'm a former nurse and I've spent the last few years in customer service roles, so listening properly and looking after people in the moments that count is the through-line of pretty much everything I've ever done for work.

How I Found My Way to Celebrancy
I had my second daughter in April 2025 and I kept feeling like I wanted to do something more meaningful. I just didn't know what.
Then my nan died.
I wrote and delivered the tribute at her funeral. Family members came up to me afterwards and told me how well I'd held it together, given the emotion of the day, and that I'd make a wonderful celebrant. Until that moment I'd never seriously thought about it. After it, I couldn't think about anything else.
That's when I knew. I'm here because every life deserves words that actually fit it, and because I know first-hand how much the right ceremony can hold a family together on a hard day or lift them sky-high on a wonderful one.
How I Like to Work
Connection is at the heart of everything I do, in work and in life. Before I write a word, I want to know about you. Or about the person you've lost. The big stuff and the small stuff. The likes and dislikes, the quirks, the in-jokes, the values, the things they always said.
It's that connection that turns a ceremony from a nice-enough script into something that genuinely sounds like a person.
I'm comfortable with a traditional ceremony and equally at home with a relaxed one. If you want a handfasting under a tree, candles lit by the kids, a meaningful object placed on the coffin, or a cheeky dance party halfway through, none of that surprises me. Honestly, I love it.
