Cherished Chapters

At Cherished Chapters, we believe that every love story deserves to be told with heart, personality, and joy. As an independent celebrant serving Essex, London, and Hertfordshire, I specialise in crafting unique, heartfelt ceremonies that reflect who you are, whether you're celebrating a wedding, civil partnership, vow renewal, naming ceremony, or honouring a life well lived.

My name is Karen, and I’m the founder of Cherished Chapters. As a qualified and experienced celebrant and a storyteller at heart, I consider it a privilege to help couples and families celebrate their most meaningful moments. No two people are the same, and no ceremony should be either. That’s why I take the time to really get to know you, your journey, your values, your sense of humour, and what truly matters to you. Then I create a bespoke ceremony that feels warm, inclusive, and unmistakably you.

Weddings are my passion. From traditional and romantic to quirky and fun, I work with couples of all backgrounds and beliefs to design ceremonies that are unforgettable. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a big celebration with all the trimmings, or something a little outside the box, I'm here to support you every step of the way, from initial ideas to final vows.

With a professional background in public service and of experience writing and delivering ceremonies, I bring a calm, organised, and friendly approach to every event. I know how to guide you through the process, put you at ease, and ensure that your ceremony is both meaningful and seamless.

But my work doesn’t stop at weddings. Cherished Chapters also offers vow renewals that celebrate the journey you’ve taken together, naming ceremonies that honour new life and chosen identity, and funeral services that pay tribute to those we’ve loved and lost. In every context, I bring the same dedication to capturing your story with sensitivity, care, and a touch of creativity.

Being a celebrant isn’t just a job, it’s a heartfelt calling. I consider it an honour to be trusted with life’s most treasured chapters, and I treat each one with the respect and love it deserves. When you book with Cherished Chapters, you’re not just booking a celebrant, you’re partnering with someone who genuinely cares about making your day special.

Come and say hello at the National Wedding Show this October, I’d love to meet you, hear your story, and explore how we can create something truly unforgettable together.
