Hi! I’m Char.

I’m Char (she/her/hers). A Londoner, Leo and always lemon and herb at Nando’s.

I became a celebrant because it felt like the perfect collision of everything I love most: storytelling, ritual, joy and people. At university, I studied Theology and wrote my dissertation on how secularism is transforming ceremonies from archaic, one-size-fits-all rituals into deeply personal, emotionally raw occasions. I believe people still crave ceremony; they just want it to genuinely reflect who they are.

Away from celebrancy, I’ve worked in culture, wellbeing and comms at Dr. Martens (my boot collection is huge!), an ad agency and one of the Big Four. I’ve always been creative, a comfortable public speaker and fascinated by people.

“Miss Inquisitive” has followed me my whole life, that’s how I knew celebrancy was my calling.

Outside that, I’m mum to Moose my mildly evil tabby cat, girlfriend to Katy (who often accidentally refers to me as a ‘celibate’ instead of a ‘celebrant’. Nice one, babe!) and a regular at M&S’ yellow sticker section. I’m loosely considering a marathon and I cycle through hyperfixations – most recently Concorde, attachment theory and Zara Larsson. I’m queer, anti-racist, a passionate LGBTQIA+ ally and someone who truly believes people – in all their messy, funny, complicated humanity, are endlessly wonderful.
