About Me

I am  Jacqueline Burrows, a trained, qualified independent celebrant and member of the  International College of Professional Celebrants (ICPC)

I am wholly independent and not affiliated to any religious body or institution which means that you can include virtually anything in your ceremony.

 

Unlike Registrar ceremonies that must be held in licensed venues, celebrant ceremonies  can take place anywhere, giving you have the freedom to choose a location that holds special meaning for you.

 Whatever event you need to celebrate,  my goal is to create a bespoke, personal experience that is different and truly captures the essence of your journey.

My journey here has been anything but boring! I’ve worked as an administrator, a barmaid, a shop assistant, a university lecturer, a cake maker, a music teacher and a musician.  

Having also worked temporarily as a casual wedding registrar (another job!),  I found the legal restrictions on ceremony content made all ceremonies more or less the same and they were so lacking in individuality.  Furthermore, you only get to meet the Registrar on the day!!!

I am well organised and calm but do have a sense of humour which is usually evident in what I write and say.


I hold a Level 3 NOCN Double Diploma in Funerals, Couples and Naming Ceremonies.

Violin Vibes

 As a violinist I play regularly for weddings and events,  offering my clients a bespoke experience at a very competitive cost.  

Music has always been part of my life and has shaped who I am, so it’s lovely for me to share it to make occasions extra special.

I work throughout the North of England, West Yorkshire, North Wales, Cheshire and the Peak District.
