Honouring the beauty of life’s milestone moments
CEREMONIES
For couples who have their hearts set on an intimate ceremony as just ‘two’ or surrounded by a small handful of loved ones, an elopement may be perfect for you. Quite simply, it’s made for the couple who choose each other above anything else.
In my eyes, there’s nothing quite as romantic as an elopement ceremony, and there are plenty of reasons why you may want to consider one. Elopements can host anything from just the two of you, right up to micro-weddings of up to 10-20 people. Offering a truly intimate atmosphere, an elopement also tends to be more relaxed with a laidback timeline.

Where you choose each other above all else
Intimate Elopements
To create a bespoke ceremony that is effortlessly authentic, it is important to me that I take the time to get to know you both – from your personalities, your quirks and everything in-between. Discovering the myriad of colours that come together to create who you are is at the heart of what I do.
My passion lies in understanding your vision and translating it into a personalised celebration that resonates with you both.
I am fully committed to your ceremony, which is why I only book one wedding per day to ensure I am exclusively available to you on that date. I’ll arrive early to calm any pre-ceremony nerves and to ensure everything is in place. Should any delays happen, rest assured I will not be rushing off to any other ceremonies on your wedding date – I’m all yours!

A personalised ceremony for couples who are modern romantics
With a wealth of experience and a deep appreciation for love, I am thrilled to be able to bring a fresh and uplifting outlook on the world of ceremonies. I take an immense amount of pride in crafting a personalised ceremony that could only ever be yours, celebrating love by your own definition of perfection. From the traditional to the contemporary, I offer a variety of choices, allowing you to host your ceremony at your preferred time and location. Together, we can collaborate to fine-tune the feel and tone of your ceremony so that it perfectly reflects who you are.
It is hugely important to me that your personalised ceremony suits you both – I believe the atmosphere should be an extension of you, where your personalities set the scene for your ceremony.

A personalised and meaningful funeral has the unique capacity to gentle mend, inspire hope and pay tribute. It’s the final opportunity to gather together, share memories, reflect on moments passed and say a fond farewell. It’s also a chance to celebrate everything that was special about your loved ones, reminding yourselves of the beautiful things that defined who they were.
As a funeral celebrant in Dubai and across the UK, I’ll take the time to listen to the memories that you shared together, so that I can truly capture the essence of your loved one. We’ll work closely together to artfully paint a picture of their life, where the ceremony serves a genuine reflection of their personality.
The ceremony can be whatever you want it to be, I’m here to make it happen for you.

personalised and meaningful funerals
Funerals
Understandably, families can often find the funeral arrangements overwhelming, especially during a time when you are processing the grief and struggling to make decisions. In these moments, it can be difficult for all family members or friends to attend a funeral. A memorial can take place at any time – whether that’s weeks, months or even a year after someone has passed away. Lots of families choose a date that holds special significance to their loved one.
As memorials are not limited to any time restraints, you have the opportunity to weave in other elements that help you to celebrate your loved one in the most personal way possible. You are given the freedom to celebrate and remember your loved one in any way you choose. Memorials often last longer than a funeral and can include personal elements to add to the sentiment and meaning of the ceremony, such as their favourite food, heartfelt videos, a selection of rituals or symbolic details.
Whether you want to host the memorial at your family home, the beach, your loved one’s favourite restaurant or halfway up a mountain - the options for your venue location are endless. You say a place, and I’ll be there.
Honour your loved one at a time that feels ready for you, in a place that holds meaning, and in a way that brings comfort to all who knew and loved them.

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.
Lara & Josh
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.
Lara & Josh
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!
KIRSTY & HAMZA
Thankyou for creating our magical dream wedding ceremony and for being such a big part of our special day!
P.s all our guests commented on how amazing you were and that they have never enjoyed a ceremony as much as ours before! Credit all goes to you Karen and your magical way!
KIRSTY & HAMZA
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!
NATALIE & HARNEK
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.
The Ashcroft family.
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.
The Ashcroft family.
