Wedding Celebrant HireCelebrant HireAbout Julie Cottenden Celebrant
Hello, I'm Julie, an award-winning celebrant who creates bespoke ceremonies for all occasions and with a personal touch, telling your own story the way you want it. I structure your ceremony, support you to choose music, readings and then add those special touches that make your ceremony magical and stress-free.
Planning a ceremony should be exciting… not exhausting. That’s where I come in. I take all the stress, worry, and “have we forgotten something?” moments off your shoulders, so you can relax and actually enjoy the journey to your big day.
I create bespoke ceremonies bursting with personality. Your love story, your quirks, your journey, all beautifully woven together into a ceremony that feels so you. Expect laughter, happy tears, and that magical feeling where everyone leaves smiling, uplifted, and ready to celebrate into the night.
What do I do? Pretty much everything (except say “I do” for you ):
Helps structure your ceremony from start to finish
Supports you in writing heartfelt (or hilarious) vows
Guide you with music, readings, and those special touches
If you have someone special to lead your ceremony, then I will create a personalised script for your chosen friend or family member to deliver with confidence and flair.
I am very flexible and tailor every ceremony to suit you, your needs, and your budget – because no two stories (or couples) are ever the same.
Ceremonies I offer: Weddings Vow renewals Commitment & civil ceremonies Anniversaries Funerals & celebrations of life Divorce ceremonies (yes, closure can be empowering!) The celebrations don’t stop there… I also create naming ceremonies, milestone birthdays, and blended family ceremonies.

Experience
For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a celebrant, creating heartfelt ceremonies that truly reflect each couple’s unique story and journey. Every script I write is completely bespoke, thoughtfully crafted to capture personalities, love stories, and special moments in a way that feels authentic and memorable. I’m proud to have been nominated for the Wedding Industry Awards 2026 and to have received a Hitched award, recognising the passion and dedication I bring to every ceremony.
