Wedding Celebrant
I first became a celebrant in 2017 after enjoying planning my own ceremony for our forest wedding in Opoutere, New Zealand so much that I wanted to help others create theirs and share the inspiration and creativity.
Being a yoga teacher I already had the passion for holding ceremonial sacred space with love and the heart being at the very core of all my teachings.
I have held over 20 ceremonies between New Zealand and Devon, UK. It has taken me to some amazing places, from the beach, to the forest, and to historic city buildings all whilst getting to know many wonderful couples from all walks of life.
One of the best things about having a celebrant means you can have your ceremony anywhere, whether that’s on your favourite beach, in the ocean, on a boat, or on top of a mountain, I’ll be there!
I believe the ceremony is the beating heart of the wedding and builds a foundation for the rest of the day where everyone is open and immersed in love and gratitude.
I believe your guests are an essential piece of the puzzle, they form a big part of your union so I like to include your loved ones in the ceremony so they feel seen and acknowledged for the love and support they provide and will continue to do throughout your marriage.
The ceremony sparks love in everyone and I believe it’s important for the guests to reflect on the love and connection they experience in their own lives too.
When I meet my couples I encourage meeting in their natural environment, where they feel most at home, whether that’s sipping on a hot drink in a café, a glass of wine at home or being barefoot on the beach.
Your ceremony is bespoke and completely individual and unique to you, no two ceremonies are ever the same and we work together until we have something you can’t wait to share, unless you’d like a surprise!
I am there every step of the way to help you write your vows with plenty of ideas and inspiration and an abundance of readings and rituals if you feel a call for something a little different.
I’m here to ensure your experience is relaxed, fun and heart-warming as we take time to get to know each other, meaning on the day you feel completely at ease and comfortable. That way you can be truly present and take it all in with confidence, ease and most of all have fun!
Ceremonies are life’s biggest celebrations that become history for you and all the generations to come, your wedding deserves to be built from intention, creativity and individuality. Your ceremony will not be governed by anything other than your wishes as there are no rules!
I am an open-minded free-spirited celebrant based in North Devon but willing to travel so I can be there to weave magic into your special day with a ceremony that will be remembered and cherished forever.

DJ Testimonials
I had Andy Hawkins DJ my wedding. He was keen, well organised, highly professional and very easy to communicate to exactly what we wanted! His music was perfect, no need to request anything as he hit the mark with each song! He comes with the whole set up no need to higher anything else. Jono Ross
Andy was simply amazing! He played for the crowd so well, so easy to deal with. Such a nice guy. Couldn’t recommend him more!!
Natasha Amelia Grant
Andy was the perfect choice of DJ for our wedding day. After first meeting up with Andy we knew we were meant to be with happy nods of the songs we were keen on and the straying away from normal traditional wedding tunes, bangers and all. He was up for the fun and we are so glad we had him along to play at our wedding day. The added features Andy kindly brought along of party lights and a smoke machine made for some epic dance floor pics too. Highly recommended!
Hayley Ann
Coral was the most amazing celebrant! She brings her creativity, positive energy and true love of love into her role and loves what she is doing. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how wonderful she was after the ceremony! We also hired her husband Andy as our DJ for the night and he was fantastic! He remembered songs that we mentioned we liked and he was so skilled at reading the crowd on the dance floor and keeping the energy going the whole night! I can’t say enough about these two, I highly recommend bringing them on board for your wedding, their beaming smiles and positive vibes will truly add something special to your day.

Funeral Celebrant
When someone we love dies, the world can suddenly feel unfamiliar. You’re faced with decisions that no one ever wants to make, often while your heart is carrying the weight of grief.
This is why choosing the right funeral celebrant is so important.
You’re not simply choosing someone to stand at the front of the room and conduct a ceremony. You're choosing someone to walk alongside you during one of the most tender and vulnerable times of your life.
I will offer you deep presence and listening, someone who will hear the stories behind the smiles, the laughter behind the tears, and the love that words sometimes struggle to express.
I believe every family deserves to feel seen, heard and gently supported. There is no right or wrong to grieve, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to saying goodbye. My role is to create a safe, calm space where you can share your memories without judgement, without pressure, and entirely at your own pace.
I am here with a gentle presence, a listening ear, a warm heart. I’ll guide you through each step with compassion and care, helping you make choices that feel right for you and the person you love.
Whether you’re certain about the kind of ceremony you want or have no idea where to begin, we’ll discover it together.
Sometimes families need practical guidance, sometimes just someone to sit quietly with whilst they find the words.
Whatever you need, I will meet you there.
Together, we’ll create a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt and personal. A ceremony that honours a unique life, celebrates precious memories and reflects the love that will always remain.
Whether your farewell is traditional, spiritual or completely unique, it should feel like a true reflection of the person at it’s centre.
For me, it’s about connection, holding space for families when life feels fragile- not just writing beautiful words.
It is the greatest privilege to be trusted with your loved ones story. Every life deserves to be remembered, every family deserves kindness and every farewell deserves to be as unique as the life it celebrates.
Together, we’ll create a ceremony filled with love, meaning and memories that will stay with you long after the final goodbye.

“We had such an amazing day and honestly so much of that was down to you! Our ceremony was so beautiful and personal and we had so so many compliments on it. Many people commented on how personal it was, how unusual that was but how lovely it was to hear our story. I’m also not one for opening up, or feeling comfortable doing so so thank you for helping me to do that on my wedding day. I have to admit that initially the ceremony was not the part of the wedding I was most focused on but actually it ended up being my favourite part and that was all down to you and your ceremony and delivery. Coral you are so, so lovely and we really enjoyed you being part of our big day!”

“Coral is the most amazing human, she radiates love and kindness. One of the easiest people to talk to, to be open with and to run ideas past. She was nothing but supportive during the build up to our wedding and throughout the day. She made the ceremony a completely unique one which suited us as a couple so much, it was everything we had talked through with her and more. I still get people three weeks later telling me what a fantastic job they thought Coral did it was perfect and she is too. Can’t thank her enough.”
Iona Tilley

“We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to lead our wedding ceremony! Coral created a warm and relaxed atmosphere which was skilfully balanced with structure and flow. She diligently helped us to create our perfect ceremony, providing helpful guidance but ultimately letting us take the reigns, and delivering exactly what we asked for. Many of our family and friends commented on how well she spoke and how personal and intimate the ceremony felt. We couldn't recommend Coral more highly, she's one in a million.”

“My pre-wedding yoga session with Coral was a beautiful experience. I was really grateful for the opportunity to spend extra time with Coral and have her in my home to share joy and oxytocin with my friends and I. Bonding with her and my bridal party in such a calming and meaningful manner before the wedding helped us all build more of a relationship. I could feel that Coral was genuinely happy to be a part of such a special time in my life. Coral was warm, inspiring and very sweet. This reconfirmed why I wanted to have her as our celebrant and deepened our connection. It’s such a good way to help with jitters and stress I had during wedding week too. I highly recommend pre-wedding yoga with Coral to treat yourself before your big day. Thank you again Coral! I really cherish the memories of this moment with you and my bridal party!”
