I'm Collette, a qualified FuturFaith Celebrant. Through Celtic Heart Ceremonies, I create warm, heartfelt and personal ceremonies that honour, love and celebrate lifes events.
Hello, I'm Collette, founder of Celtic Heart Ceremonies.
I'd always known, somewhere in the back of my mind, that I wanted to do something in this field — but life moves on, and it's easy to let that kind of thing sit as a "maybe one day." It took my daughter and her fiancé asking me to marry them for me to finally take the leap. I trained with FuturFaith, and what followed was something I'll never forget.
My very first ceremony was for my own daughter's wedding. And no one knew. Apart from my immediate family, I'd kept my training a complete secret — right up until the moment I stepped forward to lead her ceremony myself. It was one of the proudest, most emotional days of my life, and it told me everything I needed to know about why I wanted to be a celebrant.
That's the kind of celebrant I am: someone who pours genuine care into every detail, because I know how much these moments mean. I believe that every significant life event deserves a ceremony that reflects the unique story, values and personalities of the people at its heart.
Whether you're celebrating a wedding, welcoming a child through a naming ceremony, or honouring the life of a loved one, I work closely with you to create a meaningful and fully personalised ceremony that feels true to you.
My approach is warm, compassionate and authentic. I take the time to listen, understand your wishes and help bring your ideas to life, ensuring your ceremony is both memorable and deeply personal. There is no one-size-fits-all script; every ceremony I craft is carefully written to reflect your journey, relationships and the moments that matter most.
I bring a charm along with me too — a sharp sense of humour and the kind of warmth that puts people at ease. I want your guests laughing one minute and reaching for the tissues the next, because that's what real life feels like, and that's what a ceremony should feel like too. My job is to take the pressure off you, so you can just be present in the moment — and trust that I've got the rest.
Based in Northern Ireland, I'm happy to travel throughout Northern Ireland and across Ireland. If you'd like a ceremony that feels warm, honest, full of heart and a little bit of craic and laughs too, I'd love to talk and help bring your perfect ceremony to life — to celebrate love and life in all of its forms.
