JANET SHELL CEREMONIES
“A celebrant you can trust“
Welcome! I am an independent celebrant based in Surrey and working across the south east of England. Here you can find out about my services for weddings, funerals, vow renewals or celebrations of life. If you are looking for a celebrant who is warm, approachable and with humanity, then you are in the right place!
You will also be looking for somebody who is professional, writes high quality ceremonies and is experienced in delivering effortlessly to a room full of people. With my experience as an elite performer and former teacher, you are definitely in the right place!
Please take a look around and get in touch.
“QUEEN OF CEREMONIES”
“Where can we begin with Janet! With only 3 weeks notice, she dropped into our lives and took over the ceremony planning with professionalism and grace. She took the short notice in her stride and never made us feel like we were asking a lot or being unreasonable. She produced a really special ceremony that had us wondering how she had got to know us so well in that time! All of our guests congratulated us on what a special and personal ceremony it was. We would strongly recommend Janet as a celebrant for your wedding”.
“LIGHTNESS OF TOUCH”
“We heard many compliments afterwards at how calm and smooth everything was, and it did feel there was a lovely balance between gravity and lightness of touch. Thank you for all you did to bring this together, and the warmth with which you delivered the eulogy. We all felt that Dad, and Mum, would have liked you a lot”.
WHAT IS A CELEBRANT?
You might know the word, but what do I actually do? A celebrant is somebody who officiates a ceremony or service. I am not a registrar nor a vicar or priest, nor, by the way, a Humanist, and I have a lot more latitude to deliver a bespoke ceremony designed uniquely for you. Whether a wedding or celebration of a life, I am able to work with you and you can have as much input as you like, including any spiritual aspects. I steer you, and you tell me the destination! Every ceremony is as 100% unique as you are and on this site I go into more detail as to exactly what that entails. Please visit the relevant pages to find out much more.
If you already love what you see, or are curious to learn more, arrange an online meeting with me through my calendar.
Janet trained with the Fellowship of Independent Celebrants and is a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants. She can be found on Guides for Brides and Hitched, where she is a three times top Award winner and one of the top five celebrants in Surrey.
