My mission

I create and deliver beautiful and quirky ceremonies for dogs and humans

 to celebrate their life's purpose and milestones with fun, joy and authenticity.

​

I work with those who want to celebrate

unique, unforgettable moments with friends, family and their dogs.

​

My vision

is to empower everyone to have ceremonies,

that create amazing memories for a lifetime.

​

Hi, I’m Carolyn, a Master Celebrant and storyteller based in Bedfordshire. I specialise in creating unique, heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate your story and values.

 

Whether it’s a wedding, vow renewal, naming ceremony, living funeral, or a celebration of life for your dog, I’m here to make your special moments unforgettable.

​

I bring a compassionate, creative touch to every ceremony. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and true to yourself, so you can fully embrace the moment.

Why choose me?

I am a person who loves life, having fun and enjoys making others happy. Music and storytelling are my passion. I use them to create unique events where people can celebrate their bonds and share their happiness.

I trained as a celebrant with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy  because I wanted to be of service to people at a vital times in their lives.  I will treat you with respect, empathy and compassion.

My role


is to celebrate a loved one (human or pet) and narrate their story, honour their life and memory, and help families and friends experience a special moment of light in their lives.

Who am I?
I'm a mum to two amazing human beings, and two of the best cats ever, Maisie and Jess, and a grandpawrent to Teddy the mini golden doodle.  

I'm half Italian so I like good food, a singalong, a laugh, a great discussion and being in the sun and water.

I love music, reading, singing, animals, travelling, writing, poetry, photography, art learning languages, being in my garden, walking and exploring new places and having fun with my family, pets, and friends in the local community.
