Every ceremony, a story worth telling
Welcome to Gwenyn Ceremonies
Croeso! I'm Angharad, and I'm here to help you celebrate life's most meaningful moments with ceremonies that feel genuinely yours. Whether you're saying "I do" to the love of your life, welcoming a new baby into your family, or saying a heartfelt farewell to someone special, I'll work with you to create something truly memorable.
"Gwenyn" means honeybee in Welsh, and just like the bees, I believe in connection, community, and creating moments that last. Based in beautiful South East Wales, I craft personalised ceremonies for couples, families, and individuals who want something more than a standard script—they want their story told with warmth, authenticity, and heart.
Why work with me?
-
Genuinely personal
I don't do cookie-cutter ceremonies. Every service I create starts with getting to know you—your story, your values, what makes you laugh, what matters most. I'm endlessly curious about people, and that means I'll dig into the details that make your ceremony feel authentically yours.
-
Warm but professional
I've spent over twenty-five years working in education, which has given me the skills to connect with people from all walks of life, stay calm under pressure, and communicate with confidence. I bring that professional experience to every ceremony, wrapped up in genuine warmth and care.
-
Rooted in South Wales
Born and raised in this area, I'm proud to serve our beautiful corner of Wales. From the rolling hills of Monmouthshire to the enchanting Forest of Dean, from rural barns to historic venues, I know and love this region. When you work with me, you're working with someone who understands the landscape, the local character, and the traditions that might matter to you.
-
Storytelling at the heart
Stories connect us. Whether it's the story of how you met, the adventures your loved one had, or the journey that brought your family together, I'll weave those narratives into your ceremony with care and skill. You'll hear your own story told back to you in a way that makes you think, "Yes, that's exactly us."
How we'll work together
Getting to know you is my favourite part of the process. Once you get in touch, we'll arrange an initial consultation—whether that's a video call, a coffee in person, or an email exchange. This is your chance to tell me about your plans, ask any questions, and make sure we're a good fit.
From there, I'll send you a detailed planning guide and questionnaire to help us capture all the important details. We'll work together at your pace, with as much or as little contact as feels right for you. I'm happy to coordinate with other suppliers for weddings, guide you gently through difficult decisions for funerals, or simply be a supportive presence as you plan.
After your ceremony, you'll receive digital copies of everything, and I'll always be here if you want to mark future milestones together. Many of my couples come back for vow renewals or naming ceremonies, and that continuation of connection means the world to me.
What people say
While I'm building my collection of testimonials, I'm proud to share feedback from my mentor, Rosalind Miles, who guided me through my celebrant training:
That attention to detail, emotional connection, and sensitivity is what I bring to every ceremony I create for you.
Ready to start your story?
Whether you're newly engaged and dreaming about your perfect day, thinking about how to honour someone you've lost, or celebrating a new chapter in your family's story, I'd love to hear from you.
Every ceremony I create is unique, thoughtfully crafted, and delivered with warmth and confidence. Let's create something special together—something that feels completely, authentically you.
