Kind words
Couples and Naming Ceremonies
Where do I start? If you want a personal, true to you ceremony filled with love, fun, serious and a bit of silly then look no further - this lady is the absolute BEST!
From first contact, right up to the big day and afterwards Leni has been amazing! Our ceremony was perfect and made our wedding day, she got exactly what we were after, and made it better than we could have ever imagined, including embracing our slightly (massively) unique theme and joining in with the dress code.. steampunk mad hatter is a look that she rocked and looked amazing whilst doing so!
Every single guest commented on how well Leni encapsulated us and most of them were convinced she'd known us for years, a true testament to how well this lady does what she does.
I honestly cannot recommend her enough!Everyone should have a least one ceremony by this beautiful, caring, funny and wonderfully talented lady, it is a decision you will not regret!
Thank you Leni for making our day!

Hi Leni,
How do we even put into words how amazing you were?! The number of people who came up to us afterwards to say how much you added to the ceremony and how personal you made it was incredible. We really appreciated all the extra work that went into bringing our combined ceremony together, and you made it all run so effortlessly. You captured us, our relationship, and our story so perfectly.
I honestly don't know how I managed not to cry - I was very close!
On a personal note, thank you for helping me make it abundantly clear to everyone just how much I love Keith …. And I can't wait for Keith to work his way through the potato cookbook!
From this very low-maintenance girl...Thank you so, so much for everything.
Love Katy and Keith
Can't thank you enough Leni. It was the most beautiful, personal ceremony ever. Full to the brim of love AND fun. It's was like a little slice of us and captured our dreams perfectly. It was the part of the day i thought I'd hate because I get very anxious being the centre of attention, but you made it so easy it was actually my favourite.
We have had so many complements on the ceremony. Friends genuinely thought we were all old friends, they were gobsmacked when they realised we had only spoken to each other once and you'd managed to put the entire thing together with in days after you so kindly came to our rescue after we had big problems with a problem with our first celebrant.
Many of our friends were in tears over how personal it was or have said they will never look at sand the same way again. One friend loved it so much he turned to his wife half way through and asked if they could renew their vows! Like a fairy godmother you saved the day for us, and got the day off to a truly magical start.

Leni conducted our wedding ceremony at Trent Bridge cricket ground. She made the ceremony so personal & took great care to make the detail just right. All our guests commented on what a nice ceremony it was and quite different to weddings they’d been to before. Thanks Leni, it was such a special day and meant such a lot to us and our family and friends.

Leni did our wedding ceremony at the start of June and from start to finish she was amazing welcoming and bubbly. We couldn’t have asked for better. The ceremony was personalised and so lovely. And the ceremony book she created for us which has just arrived was so pretty and had all the whole ceremony written in it such a lovely touch. If we had to do it all again we would pick her every time. Thank you Leni!
Lara and Jack
Finding Leni was perhaps the best find of our wedding. She was so much more than a celebrant throughout the entirety of our planning and lead up to the big day. She offered advice, suggestions, support and simply time to chat when we felt we needed it.
Her planning was so personal and tailored to us, which we found to be really fun as it included little questionnaires that let us reflect on our relationship, opportunities to create the overall feeling we wanted to achieve at our wedding and a completely personalised experience from start to finish!
On the actual day of our wedding we met Leni in person for the first time and it felt like we'd known her forever, she was another dear friend joining us for our big day! I can't thank Leni enough for all the time and effort she put into our wedding (and for being so patient as bride ended up being a 'touch' late for the ceremony)
Leni you truly made our day everything we ever wanted it to be and we couldn't be any more greatful!
Alex and Mark
We knew we had found the right celebrant for our wedding as soon as we met Leni. She was warm, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made us feel immediately at ease. We would highly recommend Leni to anyone looking for a celebrant. Thanks to her we had the ceremony we’d always hoped for and a lot of our guests said it was the most personal wedding they’d ever been to. She also helped us incorporate our daughter’s naming ceremony which was a lovely addition.
Emma and Stu
We absolutely loved working with Leni from start to finish. She took time to properly get to know us and what we were looking for with our ceremony, and the questions she asked really helped us to build out our own personal vows too.
Leni was a wonderful calm influence on the day as well as the lead up to our wedding, and the extra details she introduced were perfect. We wouldn't have thought about a ring warning if it hadn't been for Leni, and it's one of the parts of our day that guests still comment on. Overall she made it perfectly personal, I'd recommend her to everyone!
Alice and Simon
If you want a celebrant it has to be Leni. She's such an awesome person to be around, putting everyone at ease, and wickedly funny. She is quite simply the best.
She didn't just perform our ceremony, she made the whole experience extra special.
​
Constantly keeping in touch throughout the months, reassuring, kind, thoughtful, and so helpful. Leni is fantastic

Becs & Craig
Leni was fantastic, welcoming, and made our ceremony so magical and true to us. She listened to everything we wanted and made it happen. She laughed with us and cried with us during the planning process and was so supportive when we needed it.
​
Gemma and Jack
Leni was simply incredible.
We had an initial consultation over zoom with no obligation to book, but by the end of the meeting that we wanted her to deliver our ceremony.
We then had two additional meetings for her to get to know us, and by the time our wedding day came around she was able to deliver the most perfectly tailored, thoughtful, funny and interactive ceremony for us.
We wrote our own vows, with support from Leni, and she printed them out for us (matching our theme) along with both readings we wanted.
We wanted to have a hand tying incorporated into the ceremony, with ribbons in our wedding colours. Leni had so many great ideas about how to do it, and in the end we had our mums lay the ribbons, to include them in the ceremony.
Leni provided a certificate for us to sign along with our witnesses and a paw print space for our dog.
I was approached by so many of our guests afterwards who told me it was the best ceremony they had ever been to, and we have to agree!
Millie and Heather
"Leni carried out our daughters naming day Ceremony, and the entire day could not have been more perfect. From the initial consultation to discover our needs, to the personalised script for the ceremony, she covered every detail we could of thought of, and many that we didn't!"

Where to start with how amazing Leni is...She has conducted 2 Naming Ceremonies for our children. We wouldn't have anyone else! She feels like so much more than a celebrant, she feels like an old friend who has known you all years! Leni is funny, kind, knowledgeable and full of great ideas. She listens carefully and created a completely personal ceremony that reflected our family perfectly. We had so many compliments on her presence and delivery. Leni is engaging and adds an essential part of love and laughter to her delivery. We are thinking of what events we can now have just to use her again!! We can't thank you enough Leni (and Dan!!) We wish you so much luck and happiness for the future and hope our paths cross again soon xxx
Funerals
Leni was so caring and really listened to us as a family talking about my AMAZING MUM. We knew at the outset she was going to be good.
It came over in her talk about Mum,which was delivered with warmth and feeling it was lovely.
We had so many lovely comments after the funeral.Or as we called it Mums Celebration of life.
What needs to be mentioned is Lenis patience too. I wrote an eulogy.I kept texting her,changing it, sometimes in the smallest way.It was no trouble to her at all, she said she would rather have 100 texts to get it perfect than none and not perfect.
Such a kind person who cares, so you will be in safe hands.
Full disclosure: Leni is a friend of mine, but my sister and I chose her to officiate at my Dad's funeral because she is wonderful at what she does. She took her time and listened with true interest to all our family stories and memories and translated that into a really personal ceremony that would have suited Dad perfectly. Her empathy and her understanding of grief made things so much easier to deal with. And her delivery on the day was measured, personable and professional.
I highly recommend having Leni guide you through, what can be the stressful and upsetting process of planning a funeral. I did have a friend by my side, but if you use her then you'll feel like you've got one too.
Thank you so much for the wonderful ceremony we put together to celebrate X's life and for all the support and comfort you gave me on that sad day.
Thank you also for the full service booklet you sent me, it was absolutely beautiful.Thank you so much for everything and being part of the day.
I hope you’re well. I just wanted to say thank you so much for how beautifully you led Ms service.
​​
Your words were absolutely perfect for M So many people have since said how meaningful the service was. That meant more to us than we can put into words.

Thank you again for everything you did for our little girl and for us as a family. It will always stay with us.

Thank you Leni for being the celebrant at my younger brothers celebration of life. Your kind words and support from the moment we met. Everyone thought you were a family friend as you spoke so sincerely and from the heart.
The way you managed to pull together my brothers story even when we were sending you last minutes bits to add in on the day, honestly you were amazing and so glad you got to tell us his story. You definitely did become a family friend and helped me through some very dark moments in the first few weeks. You will forever have a special place in my heart. Lots of love dear friend xxx
Leni officiated at the Funeral of our late Father Roy in July 2026 after being recommended by the Undertaker. From our first Zoom meeting I knew the family were in safe hands.
Leni's knowledge of her subject attention to detail and natural feel for the type of funeral we wanted were first rate. Where she really came into her own was during the service itself ; Leni exudes Warmth, Humanity Control, Gravitas & Dignity in equal measure, whilst letting the family take centre stage. The great comfort being that we knew she was ready to step in at a moments notice if anyone felt unable to continue.
We gave my Dad a great send off orchestrated by Leni and therefore I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is absolutely brilliant.
Leni wasn't just our first choice but the only choice for Mum's funeral.
Having known Leni for several years through working in weddings I knew she would be the only person I could trust when Mum passed away. She has boundless compassion and the service she wrote described Mum in the most joyful way. I felt supported and cared for in what was a bleak time. The funeral itself was a true celebration of life. Everyone seemed to leave the day with a sense of peace and I cannot describe how much of a difference this has made to working through the grief afterwards.
Hi Leni - I trust this finds you well. I just wanted to say a belated thank you for your deliverance of Mums funeral last week. Despite our nerves about how it may go we have had a number of people say how fitting it was.
Your support, flexibility in accommodating our needs in a short time frame, your thoughtful delivery and your kindness helped us get through it.
From myself, K and H a heartfelt thank you.

Leni ‘held’ us in her arms every step of the way. Enveloping us in her care and compassion, she listened intently to ensure every detail was just right. She brought love, creativity and beauty to the darkest time of our lives. One of the hardest things about neonatal loss is that there are so few stories to tell. Leni helped us to remember the journey we had shared with Tilly since learning of her impending arrival. She helped our family and friends to celebrate the gift, the miracle, the blessing I had waited my whole life for. She taught us the beginnings of how to move forward with our baby girl in our hearts.
There is no doubt in my mind that Leni was always meant to be doing this work - she personifies one of Maya Angelou’s most famous quotes: ‘I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ And for that I will be eternally grateful.
