Sarah Barnes, Derbyshire Wedding Celebrant

As an Independent Celebrant, I specialise in crafting authentic, unforgettable ceremonies that reflect you as a couple and your style. Are you picturing a laid back, traditional, alternative, themed, or totally unique ceremony for your event? For your wedding, naming celebration, funeral, or any significant life event, I’ll work with you every step of the way to bring your ideas to life. Let’s create a ceremony that captures the magic and leaves you with cherished memories that last a lifetime. Your story deserves to be celebrated — let’s make it happen!

I create wedding ceremonies that create the magical event you dream of.. 

Some are alternative and creative. Some are quiet and low-key. Some sit gently somewhere in between. What matters most is that it feels right for you; not staged, not rushed and not someone else’s script.

I work collaboratively and inclusively, taking time to understand your story, your people and the atmosphere you want to create. My role is to hold the space with calm confidence, so you can relax and enjoy the whole experience. I’m not flashy; my role isn’t to be the star of the show. I am your support crew, here to help you feel steady, seen and celebrated. 

Whether you’re planning something bold, intimate, themed or beautifully unfussy, we shape it together to make it authentically yours.
