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 over the years, I’ve united hundreds of people in multilingual ceremonies. I have also included elements of Spanish, German, Czech, Russian, Hebrew, Cantonese, Portuguese and Afrikaans into the ceremonies. Upon request, we can include any language you wish into your ceremony. Depending on the language, you can have a completely bilingual ceremony.

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.”

Evan and Rose

Baby Naming Ceremony

“You made the naming ceremony for Savanna Rose and Thomas Andrew such a delight, magically succeeding in making it the perfect length so the twins didn’t get restless, and including all the words and people that matter to our family Thank you.”

Sam and Olivia
