Hi I'm Sho
Weddings · Namings · Farewells
I'm a celebrant quite simply because I love love! Sharing life's special moments with you, and helping you honour them in a way that's truly yours, is what I love doing most. Being an independent celebrant gives me the freedom to create a genuinely couture ceremony, fitted exclusively to you.
From Live TV Kitchens to Your Big Day
Celebrating who you are, wherever your story comes from.
Before I moved to the South West and became a celebrant, I was a private chef. I cooked for every kind of life event for my wonderful clients, and even cooked on live television. That world taught me something I use every single day now: how to be the reassuring calm that helps people relax and enjoy their moment, knowing everything is handled.
I grew up abroad, living all over the world, and I've never lost my love of travelling. I've learned so much from other cultures and I love bringing that into my ceremonies. So whether you have mixed faith, no faith, different cultural backgrounds or the same heritage, I'll help you create something that honours exactly who you are.
The Bits That Matter Your story matters, exactly as it is.
Why the Listening Matters More Than the Talking
I hear the details
My role as your celebrant isn't just to talk at your ceremony. In fact, the main part of my job is listening. I listen to your stories and I hear the details that matter to you, capturing the magic within. I become a friend and a confidante, and once you feel relaxed and happy, the real story comes out.
Only then, after I've written a couture script moulded around you, do I tell your story, delivering it with warmth, humour and love. At the end of it all, it might be my voice, but it's absolutely your story and your ceremony, your way.
What You Can Expect From Me
Professional, personal and completely focused.
The ceremonies that mark your most special moments deserve to be handled with professionalism and love, and that’s my commitment to you, from your very first enquiry. With transparent terms and clear guidance from the outset, there are no surprises.
Choosing me to be part of your "I do crew" means you'll have someone with you every step of the way. I'll guide, support and, most of all, listen, so you arrive at your ceremony relaxed, excited and certain it's exactly what you wanted. I'm traditional with a twist, classic but contemporary, and I promise to bring the Sho!
