Multi Award Winning Celebrant

Celebrate Love and Life in your own Special Way

I’m Ruth, your fun, friendly, multi award-winning independent wedding celebrant based in Suffolk. I’m here to make your ceremony every bit as magical as you’ve always dreamed. With years of experience and a real passion for people, I create ceremonies that are bursting with love, laughter, and those unforgettable moments that make everyone smile (and maybe shed a happy tear!).

Although I’m lucky enough to call Suffolk home, I’ll happily travel across Essex, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, London, or wherever your love story takes us. From rustic barns to chic city venues, I’ll bring my celebrant sparkle wherever it’s needed.

I’m warm, dedicated, and a little bit fun too, which means on the day, you’ll have a celebrant who’s not only highly experienced and professional, but also right there by your side, cheering you on, calming the nerves, and making sure every moment shines.

So, let’s do this, let’s make your day as extraordinary, personal, and joy-filled as it deserves to be.

When I first saw Ruth at the Alpheton barns open day I was drawn to speak to her, I didn't know much about celebrants but I knew after our conversation that she would be perfect! The pacing of the process of getting to know each other was great, Ruth sends out some questionnaires which were hilarious to fill in, and she has a knack of picking up what's special and unique about your relationship, and the story starts to write itself. As we started to put together what would be the parts of the day it really felt special, Ruth was always warm, always creative and was able to put into words exactly want we wanted to say to each other and all our loved ones. Our wedding day was fabulous, Ruth was there to meet and greet and really puts everyone at ease. The ceremony itself was all we hoped for and more, Ruth's delivery was excellent, we even managed to sail through a blunder while tying the knot. Ruth brings to a wedding a perfect way to tell your love story, your way. If you are looking for a celebrant who will go the extra mile to create the most wonderful experience, look no further. Thank you so much Ruth, you made our day!

Ruth was an amazing celebrant, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better for our wedding. She made the ceremony so personal, relaxed, and meaningful, and helped us feel completely at ease throughout. Ruth took the time to get to know us as a couple and created a beautiful ceremony that reflected our story perfectly. She made us both feel completely at ease, and her calm, friendly presence helped make the whole day even more special. Our guests loved the ceremony, and we're so grateful for everything she did. We highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a wonderful celebrant. Thank you from Ben and Ellise!

Ruth was the celebrant for our wedding in July. From our first conversation with Ruth, we instantly knew we liked her. She has such a lovely, warm and friendly manner that put us at ease straight away. Throughout the whole process she was great to work with and she took the time to really get to know us as a couple. Ruth made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Every detail in the script reflected who we are, our love story and what mattered most to us. She checked in regularly in the lead-up to the big day and made sure we were happy with every part of the script. There was never any pressure to include things we didn’t want. Ruth made sure the ceremony would be exactly what we wanted. The pre-wedding meet-up at the venue with Ruth was really helpful. She walked us through everything, answered every question and made sure we both entirely happy with the arrangements for our day. On our wedding day, Ruth arrived in plenty of time and immediately got everything organised. She made sure all the little details were in place, spoke with our suppliers, groomsmen and the bridal party to ensure everyone knew what to do. The ceremony she delivered was heartfelt, seamless and truly unforgettable. So many of our guests commented on how personal and special it felt. It was exactly what we wanted. Ruth is a wonderful lady and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. She made our vision of our wedding ceremony come true and we will always be grateful for the part she played in making our wedding day so perfect. Thank you Ruth!

Ruth did an amazing job officiating our ceremony. We were blown away by the level of care she took in making sure the entire ceremony was perfect. She got contact details from us and then reached out to all vendors on our behalf to let them know of important moments and queues for the day, ensuring not a special moment was missed by our videographer or photographer and having our dog be part of the ceremony was absolutely seamless as well. I told my now husband a week before the wedding "I already know we wont regret hiring Ruth because the one thing I'm not worried about at all is our ceremony being perfect". Ruth absolutely loves love and wants to celebrate your love with your partner. Book a consultation call with her and you wont regret booking her for your ceremony.

We chose Ruth to be our celebrant after seeing her Instagram page and as soon as we spoke on the phone we knew she was the perfect choice. She was incredibly professional, organised and personable and took all our stress about planning our wedding ceremony away from the very first meeting. On the day Ruth was an absolute joy, she led the ceremony perfectly with a mix of emotion and humour which all our guests loved. She mingled perfectly with our guests and we honestly feel like she made our wedding day even more special. Her touches like printing our vows and sending them to us afterwards, as well as making the ceremony incredible personal to us made us feel like she had known us for years. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Wow! Where do I start? I’ve sung at a lot of weddings in 2025 but none have compared to Ruth’s heartfelt and incredibly touching ceremony. The couple booked us both for the ceremony and it was a partnership of dreams. We liased with each other before the service to make sure it ran perfectly, then when the big moment came for the bride to walk down the aisle the seamless movement from Celebrant to wedding singer back to celebrant went perfectly and beautifully. Working with Ruth felt so smooth, professional and wonderful and listening to her perform the ceremony with hints of personalisation, love and heartfelt moments really got me choked up. As a person Ruth is a bundle of energy, warmth and fun and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for that outstanding award winning experience. She is such a necessary part of your day and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to have an amazing ceremony with Ruth

Ruth was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met Ruth at Martels Wedding Village we instantly felt so at ease and like we’d known her for years. Like many people we didn’t really know what a celebrant was but I’m so glad that Ruth took the time to talk to us and explain who she is and what she does because we cant imagine not having her conduct our ceremony. Ruth really took the time to get to know us as a couple as well as individuals, she genuinely cared about how our day was going and how we were getting on with our wedding planning. Her communication the whole way through planning was incredible. Ruth created a WhatsApp chat for the three of us where we could ask as many questions as we liked, no matter the day or time. She would keep us updated through out the script writing process and would chase us for any extra information she needed. Ruth really made our day so special! Our ceremony was so beautiful and so personal, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Ruth’s delivery of our story as a couple was so moving and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting what an amazing job Ruth had done. We’re so grateful to have met Ruth and can’t thank you enough for being such a huge part of our day! X

Ruth was our celebrant to our wedding in November 2025, she was nothing short of amazing. Her energy made myself, my wife and our daughter feel safe and confident leading up to the day. We knew we were in safe hands after our first zoom meeting. She took the time to know all 3 of us personally and let us trust the process. On the day of the wedding herself and Ruth’s husband David (The unsung hero of the day) made us both feel at ease and we knew the day was going to be beautiful. David took the time to help all the grooms men get ready and offered last minute of advice to us all, was made us feel ready. He’s also just a great person to be around. Once the ceremony was ready to start Ruth made sure, we both knew what we were doing, where to be and made sure we were ready before anything happened. Once she started the ceremony, she ensured the guest were engaged, laughing, confutable and that our script was personal to us. Which everyone loved and commented on how great she was! We’re both pleased that Ruth done our ceremony and helped made our day perfect. We would recommend Ruth to anyone.
