Hello, my name is Tom and I am an independent celebrant based in Sheffield, England.

I am always so honoured to be trusted with the responsibility of marking milestones in the lives of others, and I am committed to delivering thoughtful and personal ceremonies to mark your loved ones in life, love and death.

Tom the Celebrant

About Me

As a celebrant, it is my job to act as a mirror, reflecting the lived experiences of those who are being celebrated in a way that feels personal and fitting to them as individuals. I do this by really getting to know your story, your interests and your preferred style of celebration, and using these details to create a ceremony that will feel comfortable and relevant to you.

For several years, I was the pastor of a thriving inner-city church, dedicating myself to the spiritual and emotional needs of my community. During this time, I had the honour of officiating weddings, christenings, and memorials. These experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of the importance of marking life’s significant moments with care and compassion.

Although I no longer align with a religious faith, my experience has enriched my perspective ever since. As a gay man, I am keenly aware of the need for inclusivity in all ceremonies, and I am passionate about creating services that prioritise love, joy, and acceptance for everyone, whilst celebrating their background and identity.

My approach is personal and thoughtful, ensuring that each ceremony is a true reflection of the individuals involved and the unique bond that they share. I want you to feel as though you are being led through each milestone by a friend, with care and sensitivity throughout, and I will take the time to prioritise your needs at each step.

Testimonials

  • "Thank you for the way you led my brother's funeral. I really appreciate the care you put into it - speaking slowly but not pompously is a hard won skill and you're good at it. Thank you."

  • "Tom has been a pleasure to work with. On the wedding day itself, he was a really calming presence pre-ceremony and did an unbelievable job capturing the essence of our relationship, as well as our individual personalities during the ceremony itself. His preparation in the months leading up to the wedding are a credit to his ability to deliver such wonderful ceremonies. He really took the time to get to know us - through several meetings - was insightful and offered guidance where we needed it. Our wedding day is a day we will remember for the rest of our lives and we are so glad we picked Tom as our celebrant, he did an incredible job and we can’t express our gratitude enough."

  • "Thank you so much for being our celebrant. We did ____ proud and you were very much a part of that. Many of his friends commented on how great you were. Thank you again"
