Blessings and ceremonies

We would like to express how grateful we are that you were able to be part of our wedding day. Thank you for creating, what for us was the perfect ceremony. It summed up everything we wanted to have said in front of our family and friends, and you delivered it so well. We couldn’t have been happier with it and received so many compliments about you and how perfect the ceremony was. The first dance routine you choreographed and taught us was also so good, and we both actually said how we enjoyed doing it so much, even though we were a little nervous before to say the least! We just wanted to say a big heartfelt thank you for all your help and everything you did to make the ceremony so beautiful and memorable! We couldn’t have been more happier with it. We would have no hesitation in recommending you. We really enjoyed the day and wouldn’t have changed a thing! x

Karlina really made our day so special. She took so much time and attention on our ceremony and made sure everything was perfect. The words she wrote were beautiful and included everything we wanted. Karlina made us feel comfortable and completely at ease through everything and was an absolute star on our wedding day. If you are looking for a professional but also friendly and just lovely celebrant, I would highly recommend Karlina Shorter. Thank you again so much. xx

Karlina designed the wonderful wedding ceremony for our woodland-themed wedding this summer. She got it absolutely spot-on. The ceremony was the perfect combination of professional and personal. Karlina dedicated time getting to know us both as a couple beforehand, so that the words she wrote for us were unique and drew on some of our favourite memories and experiences together. She did this so well, that her writing and readings had everyone in tears. Happy ones of course! She has a lovely way with words and was able to express for us just what we wanted to share with our friends and family At the beginning, we had no idea of how to plan or organise our own ceremony and Karlina was able to guide us through a wide range of options, meaning that it ran smoothly, succinctly and included the various elements that we wanted to include from a traditional ceremony as well as incorporating elements of pagan and humanist ceremonies too. The day went perfectly and we couldn’t have chosen a better, more caring and creative celebrant than Karlina

We had met with a few celebrants to find the perfect fit for us as a couple and Karlina was definitely the best. She was very personable and we immediately felt comfortable getting to know her. She wanted to make sure we picked the right ceremony for us and spent time going through all of the options. There were elements of the ceremony we wanted to add in and she worked everything in beautifully. The day itself was perfect and our guests commented on how wonderful and touching the ceremony was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

We used Karlina for reviewing our wedding vows. We decided at the last minute to do it and found Karlina with not a lot of notice and we were so Iucky she could squeeze us in. She came and met with us and noted down all the details of exactly what we wanted. We wanted something fairly low key and what she provided was amazing. Karlina wrote the perfect words and completely understood what it was we wanted. It was lovely to have her there and she was so warm and welcoming. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks for making it a day we’ll never forget x

Karlina was warm and professional from the very start. She made sure that she got to know us (and us her) and was very keen to ensure that our ceremony was personal to us and suited who we were as people and as a couple. We aren't hugely spiritual people and didn’t want to opt for any of the alternative ceremonies but this wasn’t a problem at all (although this is something Karlina offers and is very good at - it just wasn’t us). We were looking for a ceremony that was official feeling but individual to us and not too stiff. Karlina managed to tell our story and create the perfect ceremony. We feel truly lucky to of found Karlina, she gave us a ceremony that both made us and our guests laugh and cry. We couldn't be more thankful to Karlina, or recommend her highly enough. You won’t regret it.

We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you curated and lead, we felt so comfortable and at ease considering the enormity of the day and that was a real testament to your presence. "Karlina is such a helpful and warmhearted person, with a professional yet very down-to-earth approach. Karlina helped us tailor our humanist wedding ceremony from a range of available options and got to know us individually and as a couple, which was directly reflected in the ceremony on the day. By telling our story in a way which our friends and family knew us, everyone was part of the beautiful, touching and funny ceremony. We are still receiving lovely comments from all those that attended on how much they enjoyed it. We are so grateful to have met Karlina and cannot recommend her highly enough."

Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful Ceremony! Our friends & family have all since commented on how lovely it was to have such a personal Wedding Ceremony. It was exactly as we had hoped for. You captured our story & the things that are so dear to us perfectly. It was a lovely start to a truly fabulous day. x
