Modern ceremonies defined by meaning
My Story
Established in 2020, I have carved a reputation as one of Dubai and the UK’s most coveted wedding celebrants, offering a soulful, down-to-earth and authentic approach that couples crave. Nothing makes me happier than having the opportunity to create modern ceremonies that are brimming with the happiest of moments – the kind that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
One of Dubai and the UK’s most coveted wedding celebrants
From the very moment we meet
For me, it’s about your commitment to the ceremony as much as the wedding day itself.
My personalised ceremonies embrace and value the love that finding your ‘person’ has to offer. It’s rare, it’s untouchable and it’s something that I truly believe should be celebrated.
every single one of my ceremonies celebrates love in its own unique way. And that, is why I do what I do.
Long story short
So, who am I?
Renowned for my warm and personal yet professional approach
I am dedicated to making every second of your ceremony count. Every element is crafted from scratch, where we’ll put pen to paper to tell your love story in the way it deserves to be told.
I have had the pleasure of calling the Middle East my home for over twenty years. Alongside being a celebrant in Dubai and the UK, I am also a wife, mother and grandparent – my family mean the absolute world to me! I’m fiercely loyal, incredibly adventurous and one of the most dependable people you’ll ever meet. Chances are, you’ll also think I’m a little bit bonkers!
When I’m not spending time with my family, you’ll find me outdoors whether it's on a beach walk or just pottering in my garden. Stationery soothes my soul, as does getting lost in a good book or exploring the beauty that nature has to offer. I have a long-term love affair with candles... in fact, I’ll carefully source a candle for every season! And you’ll discover that I’m a total fiend for potatoes... anything that’s made from potatoes, I’ll eat it!
Kind Words
Our experience with Karen, our incredible celebrant, was honestly unforgettable. From the very first moment she made us feel understood, supported and truly seen as a couple.
She created a ceremony that was completely personal to us, filled with emotion, warmth and little touches that reflected our story perfectly. Everyone told us they had never witnessed a ceremony like it before because it felt so intimate, so thoughtful and so beautifully delivered. Karen brought laughter, tears and so much love into that moment and made our day feel even more special. We could not have chosen anyone better!

We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful memorial ceremony that you created for our Mum. She had lived such a full and wonderful life, and somehow you captured the very essence of her perfectly.
The ceremony was a true celebration of everything we loved about her, and at times it genuinely felt as though you had known her herself. There were so many thoughtful and personal touches throughout the ceremony, each adding another special dimension and making everyone feel involved.

We were so relieved, and incredibly grateful, that the ceremony felt so personal.
It was elegant and reflective, but also warm and uplifting, striking exactly the right balance for such an important occasion. Everyone commented about how beautiful it was.
We will be forever grateful for the care, thought and sensitivity that you put into creating it.

Karen was beyond amazing from start to finish!
We are a multicultural couple so Karen helped us navigate all of the different traditions to help us create a bespoke ceremony that celebrated our different backgrounds but felt like "us".
From our first video call Karen put us totally at ease and we trusted her implicitly. She helped us craft our vows and made sure that the ceremony was exactly the right balance of warm, romantic and funny.

Even in the lead up and on the day, Karen helped make sure that every element of the ceremony, from the bridesmaid entrance timings to the recessional, was perfectly planned and timed - she coordinated with our planner and our musician and I'm so grateful for her carrying the load on that so that we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Everyone absolutely LOVED the ceremony and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. We are so grateful to have had Karen be part of our day - she's truly one of a kind and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant in Dubai.

Karen was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment / first got in touch with Karen the communication, support and guidance has been next to none. She has been honest, thorough and gave tips to us that we would have never thought of. When planning a wedding all you want is to be stress free and with Karen leading the day to what we dreamed of it's exactly what we wished for and more. The ceremony was all we had wished for, romantic, relaxed, witty and kept our guests drawn in, from picking our most cherished memories and telling our love story to trusting us with our vows we would not of had a more perfect day without her!
