Hi, I’m Colette Ashby
I’m an award-winning Wedding Celebrant and I love creating ceremonies with a touch of sparkle!
I love my job as a celebrant because I love people and celebrations. In fact I’m probably just as excited as you are about your wedding! (ok, nearly as excited.)
Have you found your ideal venue? Then get ready for an amazing ceremony!
Wedding celebrant ceremonies are special.
Your wedding ceremony will tell your love story and reflect your personalities… the perfect start to your special day.
Choosing to have a wedding celebrant gives you freedom, fun and sparkle!
Dreaming of a glamorous wedding in a grand hotel? Fabulous, I’ll be there. Saying your vows in a magnificent castle? Perfect, let’s get the bubbly on ice. Or maybe a beautiful barn in the countryside is more your style? You are not restricted to licenced venues, you can hold your wedding anywhere you wish.
You may decide you would like to write your own wedding vows, maybe you want your ceremony to include a spiritual element, symbolic actions, poems, songs or readings. Perhaps you would like to involve family and friends, children or grandchildren in the service. As your wedding celebrant I can make it happen.
During your wedding ceremony you will get the opportunity to sign a commemorative certificate which is a lovely keepsake of your special day, and your guests and photographer can capture the moment.
How it Works… 4 simple steps before the big day
1. We chat on the phone or video call
Our initial conversation is a chance for you to explain what you are looking for and I can answer your questions about the role of a wedding celebrant, the ceremony and process.
2. We meet up
As your wedding celebrant it’s essential that I get to know you both so we have an in-depth chat, ideally involving tea and cake or something stronger!
I find out all the important details of your relationship – when and how you met, the memorable times you’ve shared and your dreams for the future.
I can help with advice and guidance about what to include in your ceremony: music, readings and ideas to give the personal touch to your special day.
3. I get creative and write your wedding ceremony script
Your ceremony script will be crafted to reflect your own personal styles, backgrounds, beliefs, faiths and of course your story.
Whether you are a true romantic or more down to earth, adventurous, fun or formal, your ceremony will be just right for you. You can have as much or as little input to your script as you wish.
I am happy to offer guidance and suggestions to help with vow writing, or you can simply leave it all up to me and I will get creative.
As your wedding celebrant I want to make sure you are completely happy with your ceremony script so you can amend your ceremony script as many times as you need to before the big day.
4. Final call / meeting to run through the detail
I find it helps provide you with peace of mind if we have a final call to check over the final details for the big day.
If you prefer, we can run through the whole ceremony at a rehearsal, either at the wedding venue or another place of your choosing.
Naturally, as soon as you choose me as your wedding celebrant I will be on hand to answer your questions, bounce ideas around and generally be there for you throughout the journey.

Wedding Celebrant Ceremony – On the day…
I will welcome your guests as they arrive
I make sure that everyone involved with the wedding ceremony knows what they are doing, wha’s happening and when. You can relax, your wedding celebrant will take care of everything!
…and then, of course, I will conduct an amazing ceremony that you will remember for ever!
Why Choose Colette as your wedding celebrant?
When you choose a wedding celebrant it’s so important to select someone you can relate to and feel you can trust. Your special celebration is personal to you so why have a standardised ceremony?
I am warm, engaging and ridiculously organised. As your wedding celebrant my focus is on YOU, and I create heartfelt ceremonies with a sprinkling of humour, to add a touch of sparkle to your special day. Your ceremony will be filled with laughter and happy tears, in fact my special skill is making grooms cry (in a good way)!
