"Ian helped to make our wedding ceremony the fun, spontaneous and magical moment we were hoping for. We wanted a really intimate ceremony and Ian suggested we gather everyone in to stand very close together for the vows which made it really personal, Ian had a light touch and yet his contribution was just right to make the day go as we hoped."

Testimonials

Ian was the obvious choice for both my brother’s and father’s funerals. He summed up our feelings when it was difficult for our family to express our emotions. His words were thoughtful, caring and appropriate for both occasions. He helped us to choose the most lovely music, respecting our ideas and preferences to create services that reflected the lives we were celebrating in a joyful and respectful way.

I am writing to you to say thank you for such a wonderful service that you delivered for my late husband. From our first phone call I knew you were the right person. You have a calming manner about you which put me at ease at this difficult time. You did us proud on the day and captured my husband like you had met him. Even a week on you made contact with me to see how I am coping. Added extra which I was not expecting was that
you gave me a copy of the service on beautiful headed paper as a keepsake.
I highly recommend you to anyone as you are kind, caring and professional. Thank you again.

Just a few words to say thank you for today. Our man would have been so proud. I left the crematorium quite uplifted after the ceremony which seems strange to say. 10/10

"Brilliant job Ian! You nailed Colin perfectly. Many people said it, not just me. The right amount of humour balanced the sadness of the event, leaving everyone feeling much better afterwards... which again, many have said. Thank you very much, it was perfect, honestly. Your smile was enlightening. A job well done!"
