About Ruth
Get to know me and my approach to creating meaningful, personalised ceremonies.
Hi, I'm Ruth. I live in Medway with my lovely husband, Shaun, and our two cats, Charley and Lola.
I enjoy meeting new people and hearing all their stories, and then transforming their beautiful memories into meaningful ceremonies, whatever the occasion.
I am a fun-loving person with a fabulous sense of humour, and I truly care about people. My aim is to help craft a highly personalised and memorable ceremony, capturing all aspects you would like to include.
Before becoming a celebrant, I spent many years as a police officer, a role that gave me deep experience working with people from all walks of life. It taught me how to listen, empathise, and truly connect - qualities I now bring to every ceremony I create.
After attending a friend's wedding with a celebrant-led ceremony, I was struck by how personal, meaningful, and joyful it was. It sparked something in me, and I realised that this was exactly what I wanted to do – help people celebrate the most important moments in their lives in ways that truly reflect who they are.
"I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you create your most memorable of days!"
