Beautifully crafted ceremonies for all occasions.
“Heartfelt ceremonies, crafted with love and care.”
Welcome, I’m Francilla—an experienced celebrant specialising in creating professional, bespoke, and heartfelt ceremonies.
I believe every ceremony is a story—your story—and it deserves to be told with warmth, love, and authenticity. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding, the wonder of welcoming a new life, or the tenderness of saying goodbye, I create ceremonies that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
I have had the honour of working with people of many faiths and traditions—including Spiritual, Christian, Humanist, Quaker, Buddhist and Jain communities—and my ceremonies are always inclusive, respectful, and deeply personal.
With over 25 years of living and working between Cornwall and Devon—and roots in London— I feel deeply connected to the beauty and diversity of people’s lives and traditions.
I am delighted to serve couples and families across the South West, as well as in London, Kent, Surrey, and beyond to help you mark life’s milestones in your own way.
I offer a range of ceremonies to include Traditional weddings, Spiritual wedding, Hand Fastings, Broom Jumping's, Baby Naming Ceremony, Renewal of Vows, Elopements and Funerals.
My bespoke ceremonies, can be traditional, humanist, non-religious, spiritual, religious or anywhere on the scale in between.
We are all different, so my ceremonies are tailored with the words, vows and promises that are important to you. You're in safe hands.
The sky is the limit!
I have a passion for working with couples from diverse backgrounds and communities, embracing the rich tapestry of human experiences including LGBTQ+, multicultural, and multiracial clients.
I believe that every love story deserves to be celebrated with reverence and authenticity.
Whatever the reasons behind the ceremony, they are incredibly important milestones in all our lives. These ceremonies, and the significant words that are shared, may only happen the once, so they have to be the very best.
The ‘very best’ is the ceremony that you picture in your mind's eye.
I am here to help with the rest, realising your dream, exactly what you hoped for, whilst making the process as stress-free as possible.
Your ceremony is in safe hands.
Together we can create something that speaks to the heart,
is beautiful & authentic,
making wonderful memories that will last, always.
