About Karen

Hi I'm Karen

I create bespoke ceremonies for you and your loved ones. I'm an independent celebrant based in Essex.

Hello there! I'm your dedicated and passionate modern celebrant based in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex. I share my life with my husband Spencer, our two grown-up boys, and Charlie the Schnoodle (my favourite child!)

I love walking with Charlie and exploring the beautiful local sites with friends. I am passionate about ballroom and Latin dancing, competing at an amateur level; I also love football, live comedy, the theatre and spending time with my friends.

I want to support you through the highs and lows of life.

For 30 years, I was a dental hygienist and therapist; some of my work involved caring for patients with complex additional needs.

I have been a Samaritan listening volunteer and mentor for the past decade. These roles have shaped me to be the person I am today. I have very good listening skills and will hear what you say with natural empathy and compassion. I want to support you through the highs and lows of life. I believe in the power of human connection.

These skills, as well as my open, friendly personality and the ability to find humour in (almost) every situation, will make me the right person for your celebration.

...a genuine joy for life.

I am passionate about people and celebrating life's unique and memorable moments. I work hard to create meaningful and personalised ceremonies that reflect the individuals they celebrate. I take my time to get to know my clients so I can tell every couple, family, or individual's story with care.

My friends describe me as loyal, funny, kind, friendly, passionate, and reliable; a real people person with a genuine joy for life. These qualities, combined with my professional background and experiences, make me a celebrant you can trust to bring warmth, empathy, humour and authenticity to your significant life events.

If you are looking for a celebrant who truly cares about capturing the life and soul of your story, from weddings and vow renewals to naming ceremonies and funerals, let's connect and see if I can be a good fit for you.
