I’m a professional celebrant - that means I create individual or unique ceremonies based on your ideas and dreams to help you celebrate the remarkable events of your life - for example new beginnings (weddings, namings etc), or restatements (vow renewals etc) or significant events (anniversaries, awards etc) for you and your family (or work colleagues).

My first job is to get to know ‘you’ and the celebration you want to have - Most ceremonies are a blend of a subject, theme and a style…and I work with you to make sure you have the ceremony that’s right for you – for example, you may want a ‘classic’ wedding but with a ‘spiritual’ theme or a ‘funky’ ceremony with a ‘witches’ theme – anything is possible – click here to find out more.

We then craft ‘your story’ which can be ‘yours’ for a wedding, or another person for a pet or naming ceremony. This story can be the cornerstone of your ceremony.

I'm often told that I've had an interesting & very varied work career - from professional musician, entrepreneur, consultant, CEO, NED, Operations Manager to investing....and having that breadth of experience of business and life gives me a unique perspective on how to create great corporate and personal events.

I write for a range of journals and publications including Oprah Magazine, Business Success Magazine etc and have been a guest on many podcasts - particularly around the subject of personal resilience and relationships.

You can listen to the successful podcast I run called Resilience Unravelled - a series of informative interviews with a huge range of guests looking at a wide range of subjects...I also speak professionally and am used to organising and presenting at a range of courses, events, conferences online or in person.

As a celebrant I am registered and insured with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and constantly continue with professional and personal development to ensure my skills and ideas are up to date and relevant.

As a person I have a professional Doctorate from Middlesex University, a Masters Qualification from Reading University and qualifications and memberships of a range of organisations including:-

• Neuro-Leadership Institute

• Association of Business Psychologists

• Chartered Institute of Management

• Institute of Management Consulting

• Qualified Mediator - Regent's College, London

This allows me to help you help you discuss your relationship as a couple if that’s relevant as well as to build our ‘Happy Ever After’ process into your relationship to keep things fresh and sustainable for the years to come.

As a therapist (and my wife as a hypnotherapist), we can help you or your guests cope with the anxiety of weddings or public speaking, how to get a good night’s sleep, or how to maintain your willpower and shed those few extra pounds and fit into that suit…!

My job is to work out with you to find out what you want and like – I will have ideas and things to add and offer but I focus any ceremony on being ‘your show’ and not the ‘Russell show’.

I can be as wacky, chatty, dynamic or refined, quiet and sombre as you need or like…!
