A celebrant since 2011,proud to have conducted over 150 weddings, vow renewal and naming ceremonies! Each is perfectly designed and created from a blank page, but incorporate your style and ideas and my experience and suggestions! Bilingual English and German ceremonies are a speciality. I will create warm and personal ceremonies for you which will create lasting memories!
Now that we're back to real life, we wanted to send an email to say thank you for the beautiful ceremony at our wedding. All of our friends were asking us if you knew us already - and assumed you were a family friend, which was exactly why we wanted you to be our celebrant when we first met you (so long ago now!).

I wanted to thank you again for such a magical day on October 5. It was an absolute joy to work with you and have you as our celebrant! The ceremony you wrote was so special and captured our love so perfectly. I wanted us to have this ceremony to really mark our marriage and be the jumping-off point for the next stage in our lives - and you helped achieve that 110%! You have a real gift and it is so amazing to be with you when you are doing what you love. I hope the rest of your weddings in 2021 go well and that you can continue doing this for many years to come! Thank you again for everything you did for us.

Yvonne was a fantastic celebrant for our wedding ceremony in Switzerland. She was so kind, attentive and fun! One of the hotel staff members actually thought she was one of our mothers because she was so involved in making sure the day went so well for us. We couldn’t have been happier to have her to share our special day.

I chose Yvonne to be the celebrant at my wedding as well as the other bride’s wedding (double wedding). Yvonne was very friendly, always contactable and provided an excellent service. Her speech was very personal and included a few more personal jokey lines as requested and also mentioned our cat which the guests also enjoyed. I highly recommend her services :).

Hi Yvonne, We just wanted to write to thank you again for the lovely ceremony you created and led for us. We were really happy with everything and love the extra touches such as the certificate and the prints with our vows as keepsakes. Many of our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was. So thank you so much!!!!

As soon as we saw her and read the feedback other married couples had given her, we knew she was the right person to do our wedding.

Yvonne was attentive, great at detail and very understanding of our needs. She made sure her presence was reassuring and we trusted her 100% the whole time. We are so happy to have her conduct our day.

Before we met Yvonne we only knew that we don’t want a religious wedding ceremony and it should be in a garden. When we had our first contact Yvonne opened our eyes and we learned what important details to consider to create an unforgettable experience for us and our loved ones. Yvonne was professional calming creative and positive throughout the whole process. Thanks to Yvonne’s warm nature she created an intimate atmosphere with touching moments that we love to remember. Everyone was impressed

Ms. Beck was marvelous! Our wedding ceremony was beautiful and very personalized. It was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. We are a non-traditional couple so we wanted something that was meaningful and spoke to our relationship without the traditional readings and moments. Yvonne didn't disappoint. She created small details and timings for our ceremony that made it just perfect and something we will remember forever. I would recommend her for anyone looking for that special touch on your special day.

Yvonne was just fantastic. Clear communication throughout and we really felt she took the time to get to know us and to tailor the ceremony to our characters and wishes. All the guests thought the ceremony was fantastic - and there were a few quirky little additions which made it truly special. You can tell Yvonne really loves her job!

Yvonne was truly a wonderful person to perform our ceremony. She took the time to meet with us, understand what we were about and showed passion in wanting to deliver a meaningful, bespoke ceremony for us, which she did 100%. She was open to adapting to us, using terminology that she may have not been familiar with to personalise our ceremony but she embraced it all and brought the best smiles and laughter to our guests as well as ourselves. She gave us the relaxed vibe that we wanted but maintained professionalism. She brought personality to our union and we could not be happier with her. She was great from the very beginning. She took the time to have a phone interview, meet in person, was patient with our responses, flexible and was on time on the day. We thank you Yvonne for a truly amazing ceremony. Love Lerum and Shereena

Yvonne kind of fell into our laps, through the recommendation of another lady in the same line of work, and we couldn't have been happier to have found her! Yvonne was such a joy to work with, and she captured our love story in a way I didn't realize was possible. My husband and I live in the States, and Yvonne made what could have been a stressful situation into an enjoyable and easy process. When we finally met in person, it was like we had known each other for years. I cannot recommend Yvonne enough. Her personality and her obvious love for her job and her clients really shows through. Thank you, Yvonne, for being a huge part of our incredible day!

Thank you so much Yvonne! Our bilingual wedding ceremony was everything we could of wished for and more! Both our families felt included and the ceremony still felt very personal to us
Rionnagh & Patrick Richter - 13/03/2020 | report this review
Yvonne was recommended to us as a celebrant for our ceremony and we couldn't be happier with the recommendation. She really shows a genuine interest and passion in what she does and helped tell our story in a way that we couldn't ourselves. Although she does not live in the UK, she was always contactable by email and regularly travelled back to the UK, letting us know when she was in the area so that we could meet. She suggested many different and unique ways that we could celebrate our wedding, one of which the ring warming which we went for and our guests loved! Thank you so much Yvonne.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Yvonne whilst planning a very special wedding. My clients, who lived in Hong Kong, had always dreamed of hosting a quintessentially British wedding here in the UK and engaged me to create their wedding in its entirety, which included sourcing and recommending all of the suppliers they needed. Although they were legally married in Hong Kong, it was their desire to exchange promises to each other during a meaningful and symbolic ceremony surrounded by their closest family members and friends in an idyllic setting. Their choice of venue was Hedsor House, Buckinghamshire - a truly beautiful country house, which they hired for their exclusive use. From the point at which I introduced the couple to Yvonne, they remarked upon how lovely she was. From my perspective, she went the extra mile to ensure they were comfortable and she communicated extremely effectively with them, and with me, at every step of the wedding planning journey. On the day, Yvonne delivered a ceremony that was truly unique in a way that I believe only she can. Yes, Yvonne will take your requirements and her responsibilities very seriously but in addition to that, she will make you smile.... she is so much fun to work with! I feel very privileged to have found her and am looking forward to planning many more gorgeous weddings together in the future.

Yvonne was great in making our ceremony personal and what we wanted. We helped write the ceremony and the ideas Yvonne has to make it special were great.

We’re so grateful to you for all that you have done to help make our wedding even better than we could have imagined. Steffen’s parents in particular took so much more from the day thanks to the bi-lingual ceremony , and you really added the finishing touch! It’s also great that you were able to meet people at the party. We’d be delighted to recommend you and I can let you have a quote if you like.
David and Steffen
Yvonne, thank you for putting together such a wonderful personalised wedding ceremony for us! You weren't given much time (about a week if I remember rightly) to pull everything together, from chatting with us to see if we were the right fit, to writing a personalised ceremony which we wouldn't change in a million years, even given more time. We will always think of you fondly and I have been telling a lot of people about you and what you do! I wish you every success with your business and to anyone looking for a warm, loving and caring celebrant to conduct their ceremony I can't recommend Yvonne enough.
