I remember sitting at my Grandad’s funeral, listening to words that felt distant and impersonal. The ceremony didn’t reflect the warmth, humour, and love that made him who he was. Even then, I knew that people deserved something better—something that truly honoured their story. That moment planted a seed. Over the years, I realised I had the skills to craft ceremonies that are personal, meaningful, and deeply human. Today, as a Life Celebrant, I create bespoke ceremonies that weave together tradition, spirituality, and individuality—ensuring that every milestone is celebrated with authenticity and heart. My role is to listen deeply, understand what matters most to you, and weave those threads into a ceremony that feels personal, memorable, and true to your spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1763141515358-2E95BH85VVPCII96TZEL/Marianne_K_093.jpg About - At the age of 26 I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness. During this time, as I recovered, I explored different world religions and philosophies in order to help bring some kind of meaning to my predicament. I found that as I implemented some of the ancient rites that I learned about, the intrinsic value of life increased. I was able to truly appreciate every moment, even the difficult ones.. Happily I survived and I am here today to bring non religious ceremony to your life, bringing my curious nature, experience as a writer and public speaker (I am also trained as a teacher, translator and storyteller) to discover your story and help you celebrate the most important events in your life. https://www.mariannekavanagh.co.uk/naming-ceremonies daily 0.75 2025-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1515182774875-9PO5I7C3RZK1XTSN995Y/wedding+bouquet.jpg Naming ceremonies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1515182521361-U38OKH2DL0DC7VJFHAN0/naming+2.jpg Naming ceremonies https://www.mariannekavanagh.co.uk/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2025-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1515182774875-9PO5I7C3RZK1XTSN995Y/wedding+bouquet.jpg Testimonials from couples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/c1ab0e66-3595-4afd-98e7-54a773a3c8c4/488852959_1234578852008436_6511823421725558546_n.jpg Testimonials from couples - Lee and Jo Lee and Jo’s - woodland wedding I cannot recommend Marianne enough. From the first coffee we knew she was our lady. Thank you for helping to make our “wedding in the woods” dream come true. Whatever your occasion, Marianne will take care of the finer details and come up with fresh ideas to make sure the best memories are made. Thanks again, Lee & Jo x https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1763143006163-SV0ALFM3JJTB8EAWUZ7B/unsplash-image-dvF6s1H1x68.jpg Testimonials from couples - Georgie and Dave We had Marianne officiate our outdoor wedding under a blossoming apple tree, and it was perfect. From the start, Marianne was warm and welcoming, making everyone feel at ease. The handfasting ritual, where 6 of our family members/friends added a ribbon, was beautifully handled. The ceremony struck the right balance between fun and emotional, with lots of smiles and a few happy tears. If you're looking for a celebrant who brings warmth and heart to your special day, we highly recommend Marianne. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1763135209277-GSDS39AXJ63KP3NK5U59/unsplash-image-HrdhLW6mR44.jpg Testimonials from couples - Tass and Michael My new husband and I were extremely happy with the service provided by Marianne. The ceremony was natural and personal, with lots of very beautiful little touches that got everyone involved in the ceremony. Marianne kept in touch throughout the preparation and we cannot fault her service and attention to detail. Thank you for a very memorable day.

We couldn't have chosen anyone better to lead their celebration of life. Marianne curated and delivered a wonderful ceremony that was a true, inclusive reflection of our childs life. We received many comments saying how fitting it was, in many ways joyful and far removed from a traditional staid indoor service. Marianne is not only a beautiful soul but a wonderful story teller who can weave many threads of different experience into a colourful tapestry shared by all. There is no need to look for anyone else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1763138001431-RO7I5ZNDHTD8X4B4C0MR/unsplash-image-EBB45rCSjrU.jpg Testimonials from bereaved families - Eleanor P Marianne was the celebrant at my Mums funeral. She was wonderful, teasing information about Mum out of me and consequently managed to convey just how special my Mum was. She gave my family the opportunity to contribute while keeping everything to time. Marianne along with the funeral directors, were reassuring and totally professional and supportive throughout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4c01bc9f8dcea35d4cef2c/1763139325895-HCI9DAHOWIBJ8GNXI3G3/unsplash-image-PAxuttF3BvQ.jpg Testimonials from bereaved families - Tara S I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for the beautiful services you created for both Gran and Grandad.
