Creating ceremonies that are fun, relaxed and all about you since 2018 💖

Get in touch to discuss your perfect ceremony 

Every love story, life journey, and family is unique. As a Celebrant, I’m here to create your dream ceremony, to capture the special moments in your life in a way that suits you and your style.  The world is literally your oyster! 

Whether it’s a Wedding Ceremony, Commitment Ceremony, Naming Ceremony, or Renewal of Vows, I will help you cherish those special moments with a truly meaningful and significant ceremony – one that will be remembered for years to come. 

I'm passionate about marriage equality and diversity, I respect all religions and beliefs, and I am proud to be a ally and support the LGBTIQ+ community. 

Having worked with a variety of couples and clients from all walks of life,  I am happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement if requested. 

A little about me…

Hello, I'm Gemma Jay and I’ve worked in the Wedding & Event Industry since 2009 both as a freelance planner and as wedding and event coordinator in hotels and venues across the North East and have been involved in hundreds of weddings over that time and won a handful of awards along the way!  I’m obsessed with all things wedding and love nothing more than personalising ceremonies to suit a couples individual style. 

Your Wedding Ceremony should tell your love story and represent you as a couple.  With a Celebrant led ceremony you have the freedom to fully express yourselves and create your vision for your celebration.  With a degree in Performing Arts, I also specialise in themed weddings and cosplay and am happy to discuss and explore this option with you.

As an Independent Celebrant working primarily across the North East, I specialise in creating unique and memorable ceremonies for couples and families. 

I will work with you to create the perfect ceremony that reflects your life and love for each other. Religious, or not, interfaith, quirky, spiritual, themed, outdoors, cosplay, you choose. 

Together we will create a ceremony that is a reflection of who you are and provides you with a lifetime of magical memories.  

I trained with and am a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and work within a set of standards for best practice and professionalism in Celebrancy.  

Area's covered 

Typically I work in Sunderland, Newcastle, Northumberland, Durham and Middlesborough.  My standard radius is 30 miles of Sunderland, however I will happily travel anywhere!
