Love the Joy of Your Story

HELLO AND WELCOME!

Whether you're getting married barefoot in a field, eloping to a clifftop, or planning a traditional, stunningly vibrant wedding, I’d love to hear from you.
Are you naming a child or renaming yourself?
Are you gathering people together for something that matters deeply?

Whatever the occasion, lets make it real.
Have a good ole rummage round this website, please do get in touch with any questions, I’m all ears ...

I’M JAX AND I’M CERTIFIED!

Trained and qualified with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy, based in the heart of South West Wales. I specialise in creating ceremonies that feel real, personal and full of the details that make you who you are.

We live in exciting times, when tradition can blend with new-fangled ideas! (A phrase I’ve always relished!) Creativity is powerful, some modern, alternative additions to ceremonies give the magical gift of surprise and wonder. Let's bring in the new, the outlandish, let’s mix it up and create something wonderful for your day.

We are so blessed to have time-honoured traditions within our memories, which we can lean on, a backdrop of world heritage at our fingertips. Whoever you are, wherever you hail from, I’m keen to learn about your folklore, your family history, your sense of place. Are your origins from a far away Exotic Land, or are you hefted to the Cumbrian Fells. Do you hop the clints and grykes of Limestone pavements or do your roots delve deep within the Welsh mountains. Do your bare feet dabble in Cornish Coves or are you descended from the highlands of Scotland.

Let’s weave all your lineage together with your modern take on life, creating a ceremony that makes those essential connections.

I love to celebrate, to commemorate life’s dance of love, loss and renewal. Write lasting memories for those transitional moments, holding space for grace and dignity, whilst encouraging the sparkle of fun and laughter.

I love to see everyone shine their own bright light!

All the Feels

Water

Water the source of life ~ flowing, deep and ever~changing.
Water, moving ~as love ~ through and between us.
The deep undercurrents of emotions in relationship.

Love is the water of life.
And a lover is the soul of fire.
The universe turns differently when fire loves water.

Namings & Re-namings

A joyful, loving welcome for a new little person, made as unique as they are.
Or, new beginnings of a different kind, marked with a name chosen by you, a reflection of the person you have become.

Milestone Ceremonies

Marking the moments that matter, birthdays, anniversaries, rites of passage, done properly.

Equality. Diversity. Inclusivity.

Be assured, I hold a safe space for everyone.

Whoever you are, however you love, you will be welcomed here with warmth, respect and a steady, open heart.

I dislike labels when describing people, and stumbled a little on how to express this part of my blurb. So, I wrote a little ditty which I hope you enjoy, no offence meant.

Love brings the most extraordinary people to me. I'm fully inclusive, celebrate all couples, all families and all identities. If you don’t quite fit the standard mold, you're probably exactly my kind of people.

Interested? I’m all ears ...

A Celebrant for All the Life in Love!

Jax for Celebrant ~ where all the threads of my life came together: a lifelong love of storytelling, years working alongside vulnerable adults, learning to listen and cherish their stories, performing in bands and with fire poi, and a degree in Comparative Religions that gave me a deep respect for all traditions and all ways of marking a moment.

When I work with you, I take time to really understand who you are, what you love and what will make you shine on your day. Then I build something from scratch, just for you.

Where I Work

I'm based in Carmarthenshire, in the heart of South West Wales. Surrounded by bluestone hills, ancient coastline and breathtaking landscape, it's an incredible part of the world for ceremonies.

I cover the whole of Wales and all the rural, remote and beautiful parts of the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland.

I also travel abroad. If your dream ceremony is somewhere extraordinary, let's make it happen.
