Both Sides Celebrancy

Welcome to Both Sides Celebrancy.

Every Life Story is Original, Every Ceremony Should be Too.

 Let's Be Honest About Weddings

You’ve probably already got enough on your plate — tracking down the perfect outfit, panicking about the weather, praying the best man keeps it PG, and wondering if anyone’s actually going to dance (besides your drunk uncle, obviously).

So when it comes to the ceremony? Let’s take that off your stress list. I’ll write a script that sounds like you, keep things calm and on track on the day, and gently nudge you when it’s time to say “I do”… ideally to each other, and ideally in the right order.

I'm Kate Wood, an Independent Master Celebrant and I believe your most important moments deserve ceremonies that feel genuinely, authentically you.

Whether you're celebrating a beginning, navigating an ending, or marking something beautifully in between, I'm here to help you create something real, meaningful, and unforgettable.

From intimate elopements to large joyful crowds, I create personalised wedding ceremonies that reflect your unique love story. Perfect for blended families, couples marrying later in life, and anyone wanting something refreshingly different.

Both Sides Celebrancy is named after one of my favourite Joni Mitchell songs Both Sides Now, because I believe it's just as important to honour endings as it is to celebrate beginnings.

Based in Greater Manchester and covering the whole of the UK (with a special love for Manchester and Salford), I craft ceremonies that tell your story without the faff. No templates, no cut and paste scripts – just honest, heartfelt words that sound like you, delivered with warmth, humour, and care.

Full Day Support

Want someone by your side beyond the ceremony? This package includes me staying on until the first dance — helping with photos, introducing speeches, keeping things running smoothly, and making sure the vibe stays joyful and relaxed. Think of me as your celebrant and your behind-the-scenes calm in the chaos.
