How I Found My Calling
My journey to becoming a celebrant began quite unexpectedly.
I was standing as a witness at my brother's wedding when something shifted. As I watched their ceremony unfold — full of laughter, tears, and heartfelt moments — I felt completely moved. It wasn't just beautiful; it was meaningful. I walked away from that day knowing I wanted to help other couples experience the same magic. That's when I found my calling.
My Approach to Celebrancy
Now, those same skills shape the way I work as a celebrant — calm, thoughtful, organised, and always focused on you. I'm passionate about creating relaxed, romantic ceremonies that feel like a celebration — not a formality.
I'll help you think outside the box if that's your thing — from live music to surprise toasts to having your dog as ring bearer — or keep it simple, stylish, and heartfelt. The possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to make your day unforgettable.
A Bit About Me
I spent the first 30 years of my life in the West Country, surrounded by rolling hills, quiet streets, and the slower pace of life. But, like many who follow their passion, I moved to London to pursue my career as a teacher. Now firmly rooted in the capital, I share life's little adventures with my wonderful partner and our mischievous Russian Blue fur baby.
When I'm not working, you'll find me indulging in my love of music — whether I'm belting out tunes in the car, dancing around my kitchen, attending a gig, or losing myself in a musical. I also cherish spending time with my friends and family, as I believe life is made up of small, special moments — whether it's sharing a smile, a laugh, or just being together.
I'm Hayley — the face, heart, and soul behind Hayley Marie the Celebrant. My business carries my name, a name lovingly given to me by my father and my dear mother, who was taken far too soon. The daisy in my logo holds its own special story. It's a nickname given to me by someone I hold incredibly dear. Daisies are rich in symbolism and represent cheerfulness, joy, true love, and innocence, and the hearts signify love, which I love!!
My Promise to You
I've always loved love. I'm an old romantic at heart, and nothing makes me happier than helping couples celebrate what makes their story one-of-a-kind. I bring warmth, humour, and heart to every ceremony, and I promise you'll feel supported, understood, and genuinely excited every step of the way.
