Fanfare Ceremonies Devon

Fan is one in a million. Having decided we wanted to make our ceremony more personal and do our legal ceremony another day, we searched for someone who would bring warmth, wit, comfort and soul to our wedding day.

Someone who would command a room, guiding us through a traditional feeling ceremony that still felt fresh. Throughout the whole journey of getting to ‘the’ day, Fan was so supportive, nurturing and really understood who we were as not only a couple but individuals.

Fan is the safest pair of hands to lead your ceremony and her wisdom, sentimentality, and experience of weddings was really appreciated. One of the best decisions we made! Thank you Fan!

Fan was fabulous from start to finish, and exceeded all our expectations.

Her approach is fun, personal and culminates in an engaging ceremony which had all of our guests laughing, crying and singing – the response we had from guests toward Fan has been glowing, with people really appreciating how tailored the service was to us. Fan goes over and above with helpful recommendations throughout the planning process, which serves as an additional guide – much needed for us who had no wedding planner!

 

We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

We were absolutely over the moon with our wedding ceremony led by Fan. It was so personal, heartfelt, funny, and perfectly captured us as a couple. All our guests commented on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was — it truly set the tone for the whole day.

Fan made the entire process so enjoyable from start to finish, guiding us through everything and making sure the ceremony felt unique and genuine. Completing her questionnaire and reflecting on our relationship, and then meeting Fan in Devon for a more in-depth chat was such a wonderful experience. We were also so touched to receive a beautifully printed copy of our ceremony and vows in a gift box after the wedding – we weren’t expecting it, and it’s something we’ll both treasure forever.

Fan is also such a lovely person — warm, professional, and a real joy to work with.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding celebrant. Thank you for creating such a special and unforgettable ceremony, Fan!

Fan is an amazing wedding celebrant who was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding at Deer Park Country House in May this year.

She was extremely diligent and we had a number of meetings online and in person prior to the wedding and she guided us through the whole process obtaining all the necessary details on our relationship and lives to make the most beautiful and personalised ceremony. It was like having a family friend who has known us all our lives conduct the ceremony.

Everyone commented on how brilliant the ceremony was and how it was engaging and fun! She is incredibly talented at her work and is literally the best wedding celebrant out there, we would 100% recommend her.

We will definitely keep in touch with her, she was the absolute highlight of our wedding day and made the day so special and memorable for us, thank you ever so much Fan ❤️

We had the absolute pleasure of having Fan as our celebrant, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, Fan took the time to get to know us — not just as individuals, but as a couple — and the ceremony she created was nothing short of perfect.

She curated something so personal and specific to us, capturing our story in a way that was both heartfelt, light and sincere, filled with warmth, love, and just the right amount of humour. Fan managed to distill our relationship into its most beautiful essence, weaving in personal anecdotes not only about us, but also about the people closest to us. This made the ceremony feel incredibly inclusive — it wasn’t just about us, it was about everyone who had played a part in our journey.

The atmosphere she created was everything we’d hoped for: fun, relaxed, deeply personal, and grounded in love. Fan truly set the tone for the entire day, and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the ceremony — some of whom said they were inspired to have a celebrant at their weddings!

We’re endlessly grateful to Fan for making that moment so special – she grounded us in what mattered the most, and that’s the connection between us and the people we love. She has a real gift, and we feel so lucky to have shared such a meaningful part of our day with her.

We knew we wanted a celebrant led ceremony and considered a few celebrants before we met Fan – as soon as we met fan for the first time we knew she would be our celebrant! Warm, intelligent, kind and personable she really took the time to get to know us personally, understand our story and wrote the most beautiful, personal wedding ceremony ever. She was so organised and always staying in touch with drafts and making sure we were happy with every element before the big day! She had so many creative ideas and really inspired us with thinking about how the ceremony could be!


On the day itself she did an INCREDIBLE job – the ceremony was moving, fun, personal and just wonderful! Our guests all commented it was the nicest wedding ceremony ever! If you’re considering fan – go for it!! It will be worth everything and she will make your wedding perfect! The ceremony is so important to get right and trust fan to do it right!

After initially planning on having a registrar wedding, we are so pleased that we decided to have a celebrant wedding and in particular that we chose Fan. She made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable every step of the way. It was really special for us to take the time and sit down looking back at our journey and we were delighted with how personal our ceremony was. We had loads of people come up to us on the day and subsequently saying how great Fan and the ceremony were. That was also fairly obvious during the ceremony with the amount of tissues everyone went through…Thank you so much Fan, we could recommend you highly enough!

Fan was absolutely wonderful from day one and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our day. The ceremony she created was deeply personal, heartfelt, and perfectly tailored to us. Many of our guests commented on how exceptional the ceremony was, and it’s a sentiment we wholeheartedly share. Fan made a genuine effort to get to know us, which means we were entirely at ease on the day, for which we’re really grateful for. The whole process with Fan was a joy. Her warmth and presence is undeniable and we couldn’t have asked for more!
If I could give Fan 10 stars I would. From the moment we met, in a little restaurant in London to share our story, Fan made us feel like we’d known her a lifetime. Fan’s warmth and love for what she does made the whole experience of preparing for our wedding so special. Fan’s service is totally personalised, she truly listens to what’s important to you as a couple and to your guests, and she brings it to life with such talent. Thank you Fan – you are wonderful.

Fan was completely fantastic – preparing and delivering such a perfect ceremony for us. We loved how personal and specific it was. The process of sharing our “story” and all the anecdotes to include with Fan (via the questionnaire and meeting) was a thought provoking, enjoyable and important experience, one that we found strengthening in amongst all the other wedding chaos.
We have read and re-read the script so many times since and it is such a special memory for us to treasure and keep.
The biggest thank you!

Milly

I am so happy that we decided to go with Fan instead of getting married in a church or with a registrar. She did such an amazing job to learn our story and she wove it into such a compelling and fun ceremony that we and our guests absolutely loved. Fan made everything so easy on the day. She seamlessly guided us through everything and made a great point of encouraging our guests to step out of their shells and have a great time at our wedding. I would not hesitate to recommend Fan to anyone wanting to break from the standard traditional ceremony. She was absolutely brilliant!

Matt

Fan was the best celebrant ever at our wedding! The ceremony was everything we wanted it to be – personal, funny, moving! We also really enjoyed the process of filling out the questionnaire and meeting with Fan beforehand. She made it very fun and easy! Fan perfectly captured who we are as a couple and it meant so much to us. We also received a lot of comments from people afterwards about how personal and moving the ceremony had been, even from those used to church weddings only.

Disclaimer: Fan is my aunt. Why I am disclosing this and not pretending to just be another extremely satisfied client?



Because, regardless of this fact, the professionalism and effort Fan put into preparing & executing mine and Adrienne’s wedding – the zoom calls, the interviews, the back & forth of exchanging of notes, the rehearsal – was above and beyond for a family affair.



We were blown away, as were all of our guests (many from Canada) at how natural, professional, funny, engaging, touching Fan was at delivering our service at Sidbury Manor. The number of people that came up to me afterwards…”wow, your celebrant was incredible!”…”yeah, she’s my aunt!” I bragged.



I reckon actually it was harder for Fan to do a great job in front of a bunch of family and friends than to a group of strangers and she completely nailed it! It was the most beautiful service we could have dreamed of and Fan was a huge part of this.



So, I am biased, of course, but from the bottom of my heart can recommend Fan to anyone if you want a service to well and truly remember forever.

I’m so excited to get to know you and hear your story.

Let’s get started on creating a truly awesome, luxury wedding ceremony for you.
