My Story

Hello I'm Sandra. I am an independent celebrant specialising in a full range of ceremonies which honour love, loss and life and I have a passion for creating ceremonies that are heartfelt, inclusive and personal.

Originally from Yorkshire, I base my practice in Surrey, West Sussex and London, and will happily travel nationally and internationally.

People often describe me as natural organiser, attentive, kind and a good listener. I am genuinely positive, patient and caring and I truly enjoy connecting with others. I bring creativity, curiosity, and an open mind to everything I do, both personally and professionally.

With over 30 years of experience as an event manager, I've worked with blue-chip clients, luxury brands and private individuals, curating and delivering every style and size of event from corporate events to weddings, parties and celebrations. This background means you can trust your ceremony will be smooth, stress-free, and beautifully executed - which also brings me great joy!

I also provide volunteer services for Cruse, a UK charity that supports bereavement. I have found this work challenging, humbling and rewarding in so many ways over the years, and it is always a privilege to be able to support people through grief and life changing circumstances, and to be able to make a difference.

I have always loved travelling, cultures, the outdoors, art and history. I spent much of my mid-20s and 30s exploring the world backpacking. In later married life with two children, the travel bug passed on, and we continued to adventure as a family. Now, with two mini grandchildren from my stepson and his lovely wife, another exciting chapter begins.

Branching into celebrancy feels very natural for me. I care deeply about living a life well, and am a creator at heart. It is an opportunity to continue crafting and delivering inspiring experiences while working closely with diverse people and situations to create bespoke and purposeful occasions.

Whether we’re honouring a life, celebrating love, or marking a new beginning, I’m here to help you create a bespoke occasion that is memorable and reflects your story with authenticity and care.
