“We were so lucky to have Tamara act as the celebrant for our wedding. Tamara is kind, thoughtful, funny, and was so eager to make everything perfect for our ceremony. She visited us on multiple occasions and really got to know us as a couple. Even though we both fear attention and public displays, Tamara put us at ease throughout the whole process and especially on the day of the wedding!
She helped us find beautiful and original readings and spent time getting to know our family and friends prior to the ceremony. Tamara has a great attention to detail and helped us to create the perfect start to our day, with raving reviews from our wedding guests! We cannot thank you enough.”

Aisha & Charlie, Suffolk

As soon as we spoke to Tamara, we knew she was the right celebrant for us. She was incredibly friendly, warm and fun and it felt like she understood us immediately. She  listened carefully to our stories which enabled her to make the perfect ceremony with a mixture of emotion but also humor which is exactly what we wanted. She was very helpful and patient with us in the planning of our bespoke ceremony, and delivered it beautifully on the day. Tamara was supportive with the emotions on the day, and was quick-thinking when things didn’t go quite to plan, making it appear seamless to all the guests. All our friends and family loved the ceremony, especially the way you told our story. It was great to re live those memories again and helped to bring the day together. Thank you very much Tamara for helping make our day special and memorable. Your cool, calm and collected way made us feel very relaxed on the day! We would highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking for this type of ceremony.

“I wanted to personally write and thank you for my brother’s funeral service.  You were truly amazing and handled the whole service beautifully.  Everyone without exception commented on not only a wonderful job you did and how special you made it, that it was a breath of fresh air to have such a full, three-dimensional, well rounded account of my brother. 

Thank you too for your kindness, warmth and support leading up to and during the day.  It made a difficult process easier to bear and I am immensely grateful.”

Denise, Brighton

“A huge thank you from all our family for the beautiful service that you delivered for Andrew. It was very special and everyone around the world and in the chapel loved it. I personally appreciate the quality of your communication with us, your patience and understanding in such difficult times, and for guiding us in what was very painful and uncharted territory. We couldn't have hoped for better guidance and you made the process smooth and manageable for which we will be forever grateful. So MANY THANKS again for everything you have done for us.”

Laura, London

“It was a pleasure to have met you and I know my grandfather was pleased and so were my family and friends. Thanks for all you have done to provide a great service for my Grandfather’s home going and the comfort you gave through your kind words. Because of you, my mom and myself were at ease during our time of grief. I will never forget how you over extended yourself and your services, from meeting us at our hotel to creating a memorable moment so that even those who were not able to attend would be a able to share in the moment.” 

Deta, Florida USA

“I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the service. It went exactly how we hoped it would. It was really fitting and moving, and helped make a sad event go as well as it possibly could. Thank you for all your advice and support in making it happen as we had envisaged.”

Abdool, London

“Thank you so much for such an amazing tribute to Mum. It sums up perfectly what we all loved about her and who she was. Everyone commented on how lovely, upbeat, poignant, and fitting the service was for Mum and how glad we were that we had such a lovely celebrant for the day. Thank you for making everything easy and simple for us in the run up to it also.”

Kerry, London

 “We wanted to say thank you for the lovely service you gave for Mum.  Even though it was a sad day for us, the service was very comforting; it had humour and warmth in it as well as telling about Mum and what she was like and how some of her life was.  It was as if a friend was telling the story.”

Jackie, London 

“Tamara was great - she's very easy to talk to and from our first meeting we knew that she would provide the type of funeral service we wanted. Everyone at the service agree that it celebrated Caroline's life in an honest and moving way but with moments of real humour. Most of all Tamara worked very hard to make a difficult time a little bit easier for my sister and me.”

Eileen, London

“Tamara is an amazingly warm and empathetic person and she provided us with excellent support from the time we first contacted her. She went out of her way to understand the sort of person my sister was; who we were; and how we wished to celebrate my sister's life. We felt very safe having Tamara guide us through the whole process. 

Although my sister's death was a time of great sadness and something I will never recover from, I look back on the day of the funeral with a great deal of warmth. The ceremony encapsulated everything we wanted - it was simple, informal and in many ways, fun. It allowed our family and friends to celebrate my sister's life just as they wanted, and reflected who my sister was. I would not hesitate to ask Tamara to act as our celebrant again.”

Liz, Hobart, Tasmania.

“I just wanted to write and extend my heartfelt thanks for everything you did for me and for the wonderful way in which you conducted Dad’s funeral. I don’t know how you managed to pull all that information together and then relay it in such an eloquent and caring way. There were so many compliments afterwards and I feel happy that I gave Dad the send off I did.”

Patricia Lynch, London

“Thank you so much for the lovely service which you gave yesterday at John’s funeral.  It was good to meet you and I appreciate your patience in dealing with all of us which undoubtedly was not easy for you.”

Mary, London

“Thank you so much, and you for your beautiful words about Grandad.  He was certainly very loved and had a cracking sense of humour.  You have captured him beautifully. Can I also say a personal thank you for all that you have done to help Mum in the last few weeks, it really is very much appreciated!!”

Sarah, London

“Tamara recently conducted the cremation service for our Mum.  Tamara was, from the very start of the whole painful process, a loving and caring person; and in such sad times had a sense of humour which made talking about Mum and arranging the service so much easier and nicer to do. On the day of the cremation, Tamara turned up with a warm comforting smile; she showed great professionalism from the very start and throughout.  The service that she had written was exceptional in the detail and the way in which it was delivered. We felt that Tamara was full of heart-felt compassion throughout. We would highly recommend her.”

Gill, Hertfordshire

“Tamara delivered a beautiful service for both my mother and my father’s funerals. She managed to listen well and capture their essence in a delightfully sensitive and insightful way. She is considerate when managing the dynamics that can be at play, at such a difficult time in one’s life, and met the challenge of ‘herding cats’ with humour, empathy, heart and soul to deliver a wonderful service. Thank you, forever, from the bottom of our hearts. You have truly been a star! I am forever grateful for holding us all with such sensitivity, at this difficult time.”  

Isabel, London

“Tamara had a challenging task supporting and gently steering the family with decision making in the lead up to the funeral; she handled it delicately, staying focused on what needed to be done to make the ceremony unique and special. Tamara's in put at the service was outstanding; she used words from family and friends to create a picture of the person we had all known and loved and interwove it into the ceremony between readings. It was pitched brilliantly -  we were able to laugh, cry, reflect and remember the quintessential character of dear Cherrill. Tamara was a holding presence throughout.  I whole heartedly recommend her.”

Anne, London

“I very much appreciated that you took a professional approach to the process. In particular that you kept in touch to ensure that everything was prepared on time… I also very much appreciated that you took the time to listen to my ramblings, when I tried to explain who my mother was, with all the good and bad characteristics that she had. Then also, I appreciated that you summarised everything so well, so that it brought out succinctly the positive aspects but also addressed the negative aspects of my mother’s character in acceptably diplomatic terms.”

Kurt, London

“Thank you for the beautiful Funeral service and Eulogy you did for Auntie Ivy. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the whole occasion, and we were left feeling more uplifted and comforted than sad and depressed. Your warmth and personal touch lifted what could have been a very painful afternoon into something far more positive and hopeful, and I am grateful for all your help and guidance.”

Barbara Walker, London

“Gill my beautiful wife died, mother of two fantastic daughters Flo and Bea. We all loved her so much and we were determined to celebrate her life. Bea had said she wanted to dance, Tamara said she would get everyone up dancing. Tamara listened, and we knew we were in safe hands. Flo, Bea, sister-in-law Liz and I sat with Tamara and through tears and laughter, she listened and helped us put our ideas into order.

With Tamara’s introductions a structure was developed - this was Gill’s life encapsulated and appearing before us and it was a celebration. It was an incredibly emotional and difficult time, but with Tamara’s empathy, listening ability, suggestions and guidance, I know we achieved what we set out to do. For family and friends that day was full of pain and loss, but we shouted clapped and danced, and Tamara was a very big part of getting us smiling.”

David White, London   

“It was the most beautiful, personable funeral I had been to. I thought the talk about Caroline was sensitive and broad, and reminded everyone who Caroline really was at heart.”
