Testimonials
“Well, where do we start … from the very first email exchange (no lie) we just knew we were going to fall in love with this amazing lady. Her warm personality and genuine interest in us was evident from the very first ‘hello’.
On the Big Day there was not a dry eye in the marquee where our beautiful ceremony was held at Ash Barton Estate. Fan wrote a script that brought love, sincerity, humour and sheer emotion into one neat package: she tied it together with her special touch and sealed it with a label that had ‘us’ written all over it.
As one of our guests described, “Fan had us in the palm of her hand; she commanded the whole ceremony but never took any of the limelight. You felt like you were in a safe pair of hands at all times and her focus was never anything other than you (the couple). It was without a doubt the most beautiful ceremony I’ve ever been too.”
Fan … dear Fan … words will never convey the gratitude we have for giving us the most personal, magical and precious ceremony we could have ever imagined and dreamed of. Something we will never forget. Thank you.”

“Fanfare Ceremonies made our day with her incredible humanist ceremony. I can’t recommend her enough!
It was such a personal, emotional and funny wedding ceremony and I’m so so glad we chose to go down this route. Fan summarised our characters and relationship perfectly, and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved it.
Thank you so much Fan for making our day xxxxx”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful service you conducted for us on 2nd November.
You ‘got’ us perfectly and captured our story with humour and sincerity. We loved the ceremony and so many people have commented on how personal it was – all your brilliant doing.
We have such wonderful memories of the day, and thank you for being such a big part of it.”

“When we started to plan our wedding – a relaxed, barefoot on a Kenyan beach vibe – we both knew we didn’t want a traditional religious service but something meaningful and personal to us. And we wanted to write our own vows but frankly didn’t know where to start! Luckily just at that time Fan was recommended to us through our friendship network.
We met up for an informal lunch and had a wonderful hour or so chatting over our story and what we wanted, and from there Fan wrote the most delightful service for us, and guided us to how to approach and write our vows. It was a moving moment to hear each other’s vows for the first time on our wedding day.
Sadly we couldn’t magic Fan out to Kenya but she was there in spirit with us, and we luckily found a charming priest there who was happy to read and conduct our bespoke, non-religious service for us.
If you are even considering making your wedding day more personal to you, I highly recommend you have a chat with the lovely Fan. She is a joy and we highly recommend her wonderful services – to have had her actually there conducting our service would have been the extra sparkle on the icing of the cake! She is heaven.
Hugest heartfelt thank you, Fan💗

“Fan was the most amazing wedding celebrant!! We loved having her conduct our ceremony – it was perfect.
Fan was incredible, really down to earth and she made us feel at ease right from the first time we met her, and it was as if we had known her for ages.
The ceremony was beautiful, there were tears and laughter, and our guests loved how she got everyone involved.
I would recommend Fan a millions times over! Xx”

“Fan was amazing from start to finish and really captured ‘us’ for the ceremony. She had people crying with laughter, and many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
We cannot thank her enough for making our ceremony so perfect, and something we will remember forever. Xx”

“We have finally stopped reeling from our amazing day, and just wanted to send you a note to say a HUGE thank you for our ceremony. It was absolutely everything we had hoped for and exactly what we had in our minds when we started planning together. It was so personal and I didn’t stop smiling throughout.
Many of our guests have mentioned to us how refreshing it was to come to a service where they weren’t already mouthing the words before they were said! They absolutely loved how it was so ‘us’, and the overwhelming comments were of how relaxed the whole thing was. I know my stress levels were kept low because you had our backs!
So thank you again, lots of love”

“What an amazing decision we made to have Fan conduct our wedding ceremony!!
From our very first meeting with Fan she made us feel at ease which then progressed right through to our wedding day. The personal touches that Fan brings to the ceremony are ones that you will treasure forever.
We have had endless comments about how amazing our ceremony was and that is thanks to Fan! Amazingly professional. We cannot thank her enough!”

“Yes, we had a blast! A truly magical day and you were fabulous. In fact, I believe Jamie our photographer said that he had never seen a wedding audience so captivated by a ceremony before. They sat completely still! So photographing them was made easy. I actually do remember hearing nothing but the flowing stream at one point.
A BIG fat thank you coming your way from both of us. And can I also say that a couple of our male friends were so moved it brought them (almost) to tears ..Men, haha!
It was a pleasure to work with you, and have you as our celebrant for our most fabulous day.”

“Fan performed our marriage ceremony a few weeks ago. Without a doubt we couldn’t have asked for a more lovely, helpful, professional, fun and down to earth celebrant to perform our ceremony. Our friends are still saying now it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to!! She really did make it our most special and favourite part of our day. We cannot thank you enough… We will never forget how amazing you made it for us!”

“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!”

“Fan is a wonderfully down to earth person that made us feel like we’d been friends for ages from the moment we first spoke.
From a simple phone conversation, she crafted a beautiful ceremony reading that captured everything we wanted to express. We enjoyed her upbeat personality and our guests commented on what a lovely atmosphere was created, and how well the ceremony was conducted. We couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful ceremony or person to marry us.
Thank you Fan, you’re amazing.”

“From our wedding guests about how you conducted our ceremony. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. From our very first meeting where we had no clue on the baffling world of weddings, you reassured us, you guided us, & then last weekend, you married us. You truly are one of life’s sweethearts. So if anybody is reading this trying to find your perfect celebrant… You need look no further. Fan is your woman! 5***** in fact, she deserves more!”

“Superb, interactive ceremony, everyone gets involved and Fan makes everyone feel relaxed. Really makes it feel it’s ‘your day’. So many good comments, thank you!”
