I’m a hopeless romantic and simply love a celebration

And weddings are a celebration of love.

LUXURY

WEDDING

CELEBRANT

I’m Frances but everyone calls me Fan

It is so important that you have a real rapport and connection with your wedding celebrant, so let me tell you a little bit about me.

I am an experienced and sought-after luxury wedding celebrant. Based in Devon, I have presented ceremonies in many of the West Country’s most prestigious high-end venues. However, I love to travel, so I have also been fortunate enough to work with some amazing couples in some gorgeous, exclusive locations across the UK.

I love being a luxury wedding celebrant

Before becoming a wedding celebrant, my husband and I ran a marquee and event hire business for over 20 years, supplying tents, furniture, and tableware for weddings and other special occasions. So, I have been in the wedding industry for a considerable time. Consequently, I know that every couple wants their wedding day to be special and unique. 

With this background, a love of storytelling, and my genuine interest in getting to know people, it felt like a natural transition to train to be a luxury wedding celebrant. I don’t regard being a celebrant as a job; it is more of a vocation. I’m a hopeless romantic and quite simply, I adore a good celebration. In fact, I absolutely love it and feel honoured and privileged to be playing such an important role in such a momentous life event.

Moments to Remember

I would be thrilled to work with you to create a personalised wedding ceremony that you will love and that will enchant, enthral and amaze your guests. A celebrant-led ceremony does not have to be generic, like a civil ceremony. Your ceremony will be unique and bespoke, with your love story at the very heart of it.

As a luxury wedding celebrant, I truly care about creating a moment that will last a lifetime, both for yourselves and all your families and friends.

Dance, Animals, food, shopping, friends

Beyond my work as a luxury wedding celebrant, I embrace life’s pleasures with enthusiasm and style. You’ll often find me dancing in the kitchen, swimming in the sea, following a day at the races, or striding across the countryside with my beloved labradors, Prudence and Martha.

I have a deep appreciation for good food, fine wine and great company — and London, of course, where my (now very grown-up) children live. Any excuse to head into town is welcome. I’ll usually weave together a theatre trip, an hour wandering the V&A, lunch with a friend, a little shopping — and very often a meeting with one of my wonderful London couples. It’s a city that inspires me endlessly.

Friends describe me as warm, kind and generous, with a wicked sense of humour. My couples tell me I’m relaxed, intuitive and reassuring — someone who instantly puts them at ease. Many say it feels less like hiring a supplier and more like gaining a friend, which I consider the greatest compliment of all.

FAQ's

How did you become a luxury wedding celebrant?

I rather fell into it. I looked into becoming a registrar briefly but that was a role that was bound by rules and regulations with little creativity and no real connection with couples. Being a luxury wedding celebrant is a joy. It satisfies both my love of meeting people and storytelling.

Are all celebrants the same?

No. Like other wedding suppliers we all have our own style and specialisms. Most importantly you must choose a wedding celebrant who you like and shares your vision for your ceremony.

Do you do funerals and celebrations of life or baby naming ceremonies?

No. My passion is being a luxury wedding celebrant, someone who creates personalised weddings for special couple’s, ensuring their wedding day is even more memorable.

Nikki & Steve 4th May 2019, Sutton Barton, Axminster, Devon

Where to begin? Fan made our day exactly how we wanted it; laid back, funny and most importantly personal. Everyone said how amazing you were and how it was so different but one of the best ceremonies, and they could hear you at the back! You helped make our day so perfect! Will recommend you til the cows come home.

Dan & Juliet 28th May 2019, Huntsham Court, Devon

We would like to extend our thanks and gratitude for your role in making our wedding day so special. The ceremony was beautiful and it is a day that we will always remember.

Bex & Gavin, 17th March 2017, Huntsham Court

From our first meeting, to a boozy wine bar second catch up, to Huntsham meets and the day itself, Gavin and I were thrilled to have met Fan, and have her conduct our ceremony. The fun, love and emotion she helped create made it spectacular. We miss her already but glad to have made a friend for life and, of course, memories of our ceremony which will remain with us for life. A huge warm thank you Fan! You were fabulous!
