Customer Reviews
James was the most professional, timely and most importantly friendly and personable man who could have performed our ceremony.
As the groom, with more than a few little nerves running up at the front, he settled me a bit and got me focused on the day ahead. He introduced himself to the guests with a level of understanding for the importance of the day, yet in a a friendly manner with a couple of laughs.
After the ceremony was done a few of my very best friends came up to me and asked who my mate from Spain was, which essentially underpins what James does for you on the day.
Would absolutely recommend him for your big day.

Read lessWe appointed James for our wedding in Barcelona and what a ceremony! We had so many compliments from our guests at how brilliant the service was.
We found James through the internet and we instantly knew he was cut from a different cloth to his competitors. His website was so informative and presented in such a professional manner and the most important detail which we picked up on, was the use of videos of a ceremony being conducted.
From the outset of getting in touch with James, his communication was brilliant with numerous emails and a skype call. James’s nature is so warm, friendly and approachable and we knew he was the right celebrant for our ceremony after our first skype call. He made us feel at ease about the whole event, answering questions and learning about us. Often a ceremony is the shortest part of a wedding day, lasting between 30-45mins, however, James really invests in learning about you as a couple to ensure your ceremony is bespoke and tailored to you.
We made contact with James approx. 12 months before our wedding day and we met around 9 months prior to the day in Barcelona to become acquainted with each other. James really invested in us as a couple, rather than just being strangers on the day. So much so, that an hour meeting ended up being a 4 bottle wine session all evening with laughter and stories between us all. This was so beneficial to us having a familiar face to help ease the nerves when your entire wedding party is staring at you while you wait for your bride to arrive.
Our symbolic ceremony was filled with humour, love and personal anecdotes about us, which our guests kept complimenting being so different from a standard ceremony. This made our ceremony stick in the minds of our guests who still talk about it to this day, especially James but most importantly in ours.
We were unlucky to have initially instructed mediocre wedding planners in Barcelona which did not last the test of time for our wedding planning. James offered advice and recommendations to help our wedding get back on track. We eventually found amazing new wedding planners.
James also provides you with a template of the ceremony so you can understand the order as well as example readings and vows if this is something you might struggle with writing. We highly recommend James to any couple thinking of a celebrant, whether in Spain or not as you can rest assured that your ceremony is covered. We cannot thank James enough for all his work at our wedding and so glad we met him, as we both class him as a friend which we will keep in contact with.
We highly recommend James, he truly is the best at what he does and if you want something personal for your ceremony. He is your man!
Thank you so much!!

Read full responseWhat can I say? Jodie-Mou and Demi-Mou - it was an honour and a privilege to be be a part of your very big wedding day. Well done for puling it all together to make the celebration such a vibrant, inclusive family and social occasion. It is great to hear you and family & friends were so happy with my part in the proceedings. Had it not been for your input - both in person and in writing/chats - I would not have been able to tailor the script so well, so thank you for being so open about your love story and your lives. It will be great to meet up in Barcelona next time you are over. Meantime, many thanks again for those very humbling words of praise. All the very best, James x
Read lessJames was comforting from the beginning! His lightheartedness and laughter makes one at ease when talking with him! We communicated well on all aspects seeing as though I am from the USA! He introduced me to a wonderful photographer which together they matched up well. We picked a public (yet private) place to wed and I couldn't have asked for a more intimate, well planned day!!!
