Sarah Gilsenan Professional Celebrant

About Sarah Gilsenan Professional Celebrant

A career spent for many years in the legal sector provides the professional foundation for Sarah Gilsenan's work as a celebrant. Her path to this vocation was shaped by a personal experience: preparing and delivering the eulogy for her father’s funeral. This led her to a new calling, combining a considered approach with a heartfelt understanding of life’s key moments.

Sarah Gilsenan writes and delivers bespoke ceremonies for weddings, vow renewals, naming days, and funerals. Each one is created specifically for the individuals involved, ensuring the occasion is a true reflection of their story and personality. The process begins with getting to know her clients, listening to their stories and their hopes for the ceremony. For weddings, this involves understanding a couple’s journey together, while for a Celebration of Life, it means meeting with family to capture the character of the person being honoured.

As a fully trained Professional Celebrant and a member of the Celebrant Circle, she offers support and suggestions throughout the planning stages. Based in Essex, Sarah works with clients across the South East of England, including London and Kent, and is also available to travel further for ceremonies.
