A little About Me

Jodie

Hello, I’m

“I can design your ceremony wherever your imagination takes you.”

I am the celebrant behind Everlong Ceremonies - I’m happiest with a notebook in hand, fresh air, and a good story to tell.

My style? Warm, organised, quietly funny, and never dramatic unless the ceremony calls for it. I do ceremonies that feel real, full of meaning, but never stiff, heartfelt but not heavy.

I’ve trained professionally with the Academy of Modern Celebrants, and am a member of the Celebrant Guild, which sounds all very fancy pants, ‘cause it is. However, that’s as fancy pants as it gets. The rest of the time, I’m engaging, helping couples relax and keeping the rings from rolling into a sand dune.

When I’m not creating fabulous ceremonies for people, I am off on adventures with my husband and son in Riggs, our self-renovated beloved VW camper, scaling castles, hunting for rockpools, paddleboarding down quiet rivers and toasting marshmallows under starry night skies.

After a career in marketing, I realised what I cared about most was genuine human connection, good stories, and bringing joy to people. Becoming a celebrant brought that all together. I love working with couples who want their wedding to feel like an authentic reflection of who they are, relaxed, full of personality and completely unpretentious.

So whether your vision is a candlelit barn gathering, a breezy coastal celebration, a festival-style farm or an easy-going ceremony in a country house, I’d love to help bring it to life.

If you’re after a celebrant who:

  • is unflappable, whatever the weather

  • keeps things running smoothly

  • writes ceremonies people actually listen to and engage with

  • makes you feel at ease from the first hello

  • and probably sheds a quiet, happy tear in the background…

  • and happens to be a massive Foo Fighters fan (extra bonus!)

…you’re in the right place.

I believe the best ceremonies feel natural, like they couldn’t belong to anyone else.

I’m professional without being formal, creative without being chaotic, and right in your corner from our first chat to your final “I do”.

  • "One of my favourite touches was that she included an Emily Brontë quote from Wuthering Heights because she knew how much I love the film. It was such a thoughtful addition and showed just how much care she puts into creating a ceremony that truly reflects the couple she is working with."

  • "Jodie writes and delivers her ceremonies in such a beautiful way, she takes the time to learn your story and incorporate every tiny detail into her scripts (which sound so unscripted)!"

    — Keshira

  • "Jodie, you have so many qualities as a celebrant! I love how you tell stories and then bring them to life when you perform them. You are warm and engaging and any family or couple would be lucky to work with you."

    — Helen

  • "She made everything so easy and calm and also so fun. Which was definitely needed to take away everyone’s nerves."

    — David

  • "I've witnessed a ceremony she led and there were so many laughs and happy tears. You could tell she had really taken the time to get to know the couple and their story. She is a joy."

    — Liz

  • "Jodie is professional and hard working whilst also being fun and friendly, with a passion for the great outdoors."

    — Natalie

Why I do this

  • Because love deserves better than a ‘set’ script.

  • Because everyone deserves to feel seen, comfortable and celebrated.

  • Because a great atmosphere and the freedom to do things your way make everything feel alive.
