Hi, I’m Marni

Originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, I’ve called Oxfordshire home for many years now. Alongside raising my family, I’ve spent over 35 years working as a mental health nurse in the NHS, supporting people through some of life’s most important moments with compassion, empathy and understanding.

Today, I’m proud to be an accredited independent celebrant, putting all of my life experience to good use!

People have always been at the heart of everything I do. I love getting to know couples and families, listening to your stories, and understanding what matters most to you. Every ceremony I create is tailored to reflect your wishes, ensuring it feels personal, meaningful and truly authentic.

Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, renewing your vows, welcoming a new life or new beginnings with a naming ceremony, or saying a heartfelt farewell to a loved one, I’ll work closely with you to create a bespoke ceremony that reflects your personality, values and unique story. My aim is to make the process enjoyable, relaxed and memorable, while creating a ceremony that you and your guests will always remember.
