Jeanette Roberts, Civil Celebrant
In 2016 I trained as a Civil Celebrant after a long, wonderful career in secondary education. After a decade in the field I have won 7 awards, conducted more than 300 Weddings and Baby Namings, and delivered over 3000 Funerals.
I am a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and I conduct ceremonies throughout the North West and beyond.
Be that the celebration of a new baby, a Wedding, Civil Partnership, Renewal of Vows or an End of Life Celebration I will prepare a person centred, bespoke and unique ceremony.
Offering reassurance and support to you through every stage of the preparation for the ceremony with compassion, a sense of humour and warmth of personality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to organise a wedding celebration with you?
How much do these ceremonies cost?
My professional service prices will be agreed by email so you will know how your budget will look. A non-refundable booking fee of £100 is payable on receipt of the booking email. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding date, both paid by bank transfer.
This is what will be included:
- A free initial consultation to discuss your requirements.
- Up to 2 further face to face meetings.
- Unlimited email or telephone calls.
- Access to a comprehensive selection of poems and readings.
- A bespoke and unique wedding ceremony that will be created by Jeanette, individual to you.
- Options to include a Hand-fasting, Unity Candle or Sand Ceremony – at no extra charge.
- Freedom to include religious, spiritual and/or wedding traditions from around the globe.
- A beautiful keepsake copy of the wedding ceremony script.
- Travel to your wedding location within 30 mile radius of the Wirral, further afield by discussion.
- A Rehearsal with me (the week before your wedding) with the bridal party.
What about the legal aspect?
You can arrange to visit the Register Office to formalise the paperwork at a time convenient to you – which may be on the morning of your wedding or a day or two before. A suggestion would be that you don’t exchange rings before the Registrar.
Jeanette does not need to see any documentation in order to conduct your wedding celebration, it is entirely up to you when you hold your legal marriage.
Your guests need not know your Wedding Celebration Ceremony doesn’t include the legal documentation. Most guests at weddings don’t even realise it doesn’t include the legal aspect, they are always pleasantly surprised at how personal it is!

How is booking handled and how is the balance paid?
- Jeanette will complete the booking form following your free consultation meeting and email you a copy.
- A non-refundable £100 booking fee or full payment is made using a bank transfer.
Your ceremony is booked when your confirmation email is received and the booking fee is paid. The balance, if any, is paid at least four weeks in advance of the scheduled ceremony. No payments can be accepted on the day. Most importantly, it is about you two, and Jeanette is here to make your day memorable and happy, all that matters is that you have your special day, your way! If you have any further questions, please email Jeanette.
