Wow. What can we say other than Julia was like having a friend at the wedding.
Julia talked us through every step of the ceremony and on the day calmed the nerves.
We had laughter and tears with Julia getting to know both of us so well which was clear in the service Julia wrote for us.
Julia listened to all our wants, likes and needs and suggested some maybe we didn’t which was excellent.
Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same if we hadn’t decided to go with a celebrant and Julia made it possible.
We can’t praise Julia enough for being there from planning to the day itself.

You created the perfect personalised wedding for us. You were so helpful and friendly from start to finish and provided much help and guidance even with last minute changes. I cannot thankyou enough for making our ceremony so amazing. All the guests commented on the personal touches to the ceremony and how wonderful you were. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants a tailored special ceremony that you create together. Thank you so much

Julia was amazing!!
From the moment we met her we knew she was the only person we wanted to do our ceremony. She has a calming nature and made us feel so relaxed. Julia spent the time getting to know us and listened to our love story taking in every detail. She made sure the day was everything we wanted it to be and coordinated the guests and suppliers fantastically. The. Ceremony was beautiful, Julia got everyone involved and made us feel very special. She really is one in a million. Rach and Mattie

We asked Julia to be our celebrant for our wedding celebration and from the very start, and throughout she provided an excellent, efficient and very friendly experience. We felt totally at ease! Having planned for our official wedding ceremony to be held a couple of days prior to our celebration with just us and 3 other guests, we decided we would keep the news a secret from our family and friends until a couple of days later when we could celebrate with everyone by revealing the surprise - so this was an unusual concept of a 'ceremony'. Julia just completely 'got it' straight away and was totally on the same wavelength of what we were looking for. She contributed a lot of ideas in the planning of how things could flow, which was great because we weren't 100% sure how to structure the big reveal! We were amazed at how brilliantly and accurately Julia took our background 'story' and turned it into a beautiful ceremony script for all our guests to enjoy. Clearly a natural, confident and warm speaker, we are so pleased with what Julia provided for our wedding celebration and would strongly recommend her services for similar occasions.

Hi Flo and Jason, it was such a very unique and special occasion, unlike any I've been asked to create before but so full of love and emotion. I loved being a part of it, thanks for entrusting me with your love

We just want to thank you again for leading our ceremony on Thursday. It was a truly wonderful day and we’re so impressed and happy with how you captured the special moments in our story.
It was a lovely surprise to open the beautifully presented script you prepared for us – we will look back on this in years to come and remember everything that was said!

We recently got married in Cheltenham with Julia Hawkes as our celebrant. She was absolutely brilliant from the initial contact in 2019 right until the end of the ceremony earlier this month (postponed wedding due to covid). Nothing was ever too much. Always at hand to help via phone/video calls throughout the pandemic. Julia worked with us to create the ceremony that we always wanted. The final ceremony on the day itself was perfect. Look no further if you are after a personalised, bespoke ceremony, which you will not get with a registrar. Very professional service and highly recommended. A & S

Julia was our celebrant for our recent marriage held in the Slaughter’s Country Inn in the Cotswolds. We cannot recommend Julia highly enough, she was an absolute joy and pleasure to work with, gave us excellent advice to help shape our ceremony and ensured it was the best experience for us and our guests. We loved that Julia really made an effort to get to know us and our story as a couple, and she added some lovely anecdotes to the ceremony that were personal to us. All our guests complimented Julia’s lovely kind demeanour and said it was the nicest ceremony they had ever attended! If we were to do it all over again we would certainly be calling on Julia to oversee the ceremony. Thank you very much for being a part of our big day, Sharon & Craig Carter

We contacted Julia at the beginning of the year, with plans to get married in June 2020. In the lead up to the wedding (that was still planned to go ahead) Julia kept in regular contact, offering advice and support wherever she could and really helped keep us at ease. As June got closer we made the decision to postpone our wedding until next year – Julia let us know her availability immediately and made the process of having to rearrange completely stress free! We even had a lovely card sent to us on our ‘should be’ wedding day – such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We’re so glad we chose Julia as our celebrant and can’t wait for our big day next year!
