Calluna Ceremonies

About Calluna Ceremonies

Hey, I’m Karene, an independent wedding celebrant living in Cheshire and working in most areas of the North West of England and parts of the Midlands including Cheshire; Lancashire; Merseyside; Shropshire; Derbyshire and Greater Manchester.    I enjoy ripping up the rule book and creating wedding ceremonies which place you slap-bang in the middle of your special celebration - an occasion which will be genuinely unique to you and personalised 100%.

I’m an experienced, warm and friendly professional celebrant who firmly believes that wedding ceremonies should be jam-packed with joy, laughter and happy tears.   I've worked as a registrar at over 200 civil marriage ceremonies in England so I can offer lots of practical experience and advice.

I’m interested in people, not labels.  I believe that everyone has the right to have a wonderful celebration, no matter who you are or whatever the occasion.  I work effectively and enjoyably with everyone and deliver the same high standard of service to everyone.

I love creating and conducting ceremonies which are special and unique to you.  I'll work closely with you over the months and weeks before your big day.  Together we will create your personalised ceremony with the heart and tone that reflects you both - individually and together. 

I'm an "extra" in telling your story - I'm there to give you a guiding hand, make suggestions and work as part of your team to make your special day everything you hoped for.

I only ever conduct one ceremony per day so you can be assured that I won’t be late or distracted by another booking. 

Couples tell me that I have warmth, humour and a keen sense for fun, along with the ability to make people feel safe and reassured.   Have a look at testimonials on my website.

This is one of my favourites:
"We wanted a warm and official but relaxed ceremony and Karene really instinctively felt that and went with it.  Such a brilliant celebrant, and SO many of our guests said that she made the ceremony, and that it was the best and most enjoyable ceremony they'd ever been to."
