About James Amos South Wales Celebrant

Hello! I'm James, an experienced storyteller, broadcaster and celebrant. I look forward to working with you to to create the perfect ceremony. The ceremony we create will... ...be just right for you! I spend time getting to know you so you and your story are at the centre of the ceremony ... be bespoke! There is no 'copy and paste'! ... be presented with care and flair! You and your guests will smile, laugh and shed a tear (at the appropriate moment!) as they celebrate your love.

You should be at the heart of your ceremony celebration, so I take time to get to know you and how you want the ceremony to be. I take time crafting a unique, bespoke ceremony, weaving together the important moments, the funny quirks, and the memories you share to make your guests smile, cry and laugh as I tell the story of ‘you’, and celebrate your love.

The ceremony that we produce will be all about you and exactly as you want it to be - there's nothing we have to do and nothing (within reason!) we can't do either! During the ceremony, you may wish to include religious elements such as prayers and hymns, or unity ceremonies such as handfasting or lighting candles. If you’re not too keen on the usual ones, I’m happy to create a new one (or add a twist to a traditional one!) just for you! Throughout the process, I will be with you to listen, answer questions, offer advice and guidance and calm your nerves – I aim to make sure your ceremony is all that you hope it could be and more!
While the ceremony that we put together is all about you, you need to know that this important ceremony is in safe hands! I’m James, I'm originally from Yorkshire, though I now live in Pontypridd with my family. I travel nationally and internationally to deliver ceremonies.

I adore the work that I do, able to offer ceremonies to celebrate all of the important stages of life. It's a privilege to work with so many wonderful people, listening to stories and writing about them.
While I adore Celebrancy, I also have a few other roles complementing and enhancing my work. So you know you are in capable hands- I am a broadcaster and can be frequently heard on the radio presenting or as a traffic and travel announcer on stations such as BBC Radio Wales, Talk National, Talk Sport, Planet Rock... the list goes on! I also work as a therapist at a mental health practice in Barry and am on the board of directors. Before my career as a Celebrant, I was a teacher and worked in theatre!
