Custom Ceremonies
About your celebrant, Catherine Kentridge
Creating & Conducting beautiful, elegant and fully customised ceremonies across the UK and internationally
About me
I’m a trained soprano, a professional storyteller and writer, and an experienced actor.
Fun fact: I’ve conducted wedding ceremonies all over Ontario, on beaches, boats and in gardens, museums ad restaurants.
I conduct personalised ceremonies in London, Cumbria, across the UK and internationally.
Joyful Ceremonies
Passionate about blending cultures, languages and religions
I speak fluent French and Italian and am happy to conduct completely bilingual or trilingual ceremonies in those languages.
For all and any languages besides French and Italian, I can include portions of the ceremony such as the Welcome, the Vows, a Blessing and the Introduction of the Couple, in whatever language you wish.
Some of the languages I have included in the hundreds of multilingual ceremonies I have created are: Spanish German, Czech, Russian, Polish, Hebrew, Cantonese, Portuguese and Afrikaans.
Just let me know what languages you want in Your ceremony, and we can weave them into it.
I also have a deep respect for and openness to different personal beliefs, cultures, and traditions. I love to weave these different elements together into a harmonious and profoundly meaningful ceremony. I will advise and support you, drawing on my extensive knowledge of these special ceremonies, to make your wedding an occasion you will be thrilled to experience and that you and the people around you will remember with happiness.
Passionate about creating unique ceremonies
Because celebrant ceremonies do not have the restrictions of a church, synagogue or registry office, they can take place anytime, any place, anywhere and be based on a religious, non-religious, interfaith, spiritual or civil basis, containing the traditions, rituals, and customs you choose.
I am truly honoured and blessed to meet new people, travel places and help guide individuals through important life transitions every day
Whether you choose a simple or elaborate ceremony, to celebrate happy new beginnings or the life of a loved one who has passed, I will create a beautiful, elegant ceremony for you. The ceremonies I officiate are full of feeling and warmth; they’re an extremely personal time for you and a memory to treasure for always.
Wedding Ceremony – Norfolk
“Planning a wedding is tough enough. Trying to do it in a way that meaningfully and seamlessly blends two cultures, with different traditions, symbols, ceremonies and practices, should have been even tougher. But Catherine Kentridge was more than up to the task on our wedding day and throughout all the preparations leading up to it. Catherine is collaborative, warm, open, and speaks with so much heart. Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding.”
