About Anna Downes Occasions
"Empathetic, reliable, confident, calm, reassuring."
Anna and Joanne work together to provide beautiful and meaningful ceremonies across the UK.
Both freelance musicians and teachers, Joanne and Anna have extensive experience in the events industry, organising and hosting conferences, charity functions and musical events for both large audiences and more intimate gatherings.
We are naturally creative and this means we can guide you through the process of planning a ceremony which is personal and meaningful to you.
Ceremonies can be indoors or outdoors at a venue of your choice – you make the rules.
Weddings
Anna and Joanne can lead a truly unique and beautiful wedding ceremony for you.
You can have your wedding celebration in a venue of your choice with the ceremony tailored exactly to your wishes. You can include your own vows, poetry, music and readings.
We will guide you through the whole planning and delivery process and if you need them, she has a wealth of resources and ideas to make your event really special.
Funerals
The death of a loved one is a difficult time for anyone, and the necessary tasks for organising the funeral can seem overwhelming.
A civil funeral ceremony does not need to follow a set path and I can guide you through the decisions for planning a fitting tribute for your loved one.
The ceremony can involve hymns, music, readings, stories, family contributions and more.

Brilliant and a real help on the big day
Great help throughout and clear conversation. Would highly recommend and really helped us with the fine details on the big day like where to stand and what to do and how it will flow
Brilliant
Joanne did an amazing job as our wedding celebrant. From our initial FaceTime conversation with her, we could tell that she got us as a couple and we felt like she was the perfect fit for us. She did an amazing job of our ceremony on the day and was an all round very patient, lovely person to work with. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic service from start to finish
The team went out of their way to personalise our ceremony, made recommendations based on their experience and delivery was beautifully done on the day. Brilliant from start to finish
Amazing Person!
Anna provided superb service at my wedding. She has a very calm, friendly and approachable nature about her that puts you at ease, and was very flexible in adhering to our needs and the people around us. Prior to the wedding day we had several video calls to prepare for the day and it was what we had planned. The ceremony went perfectly. Thank you Anna for being part of the day and making it special.

Anna was lovely! Easy to contact, fast replies and we had a video call to discuss all our options. She was really nice and took her time to get to know us as a couple. On the day she was efficient, friendly and very well spoken. Great value for money, really worth it.
