Your journey together is one of a kind, filled with memories, joy and love, and your ceremony should reflect that too.

Vow Renewal

A Vow Renewal Ceremony is a beautiful way to celebrate your journey together and reaffirm the promises you made — or even make new ones that reflect the life you’ve built since.

Whether you’re marking a milestone anniversary, overcoming something together, or simply want to say 'I’d choose you all over again', your ceremony can be as intimate or as grand as you wish.

Wherever and however you choose to celebrate, your vow renewal will be a heartfelt reflection of your story and the life you’ve created together.

About me

I am based in the South West and cover Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.

I live with my husband and our two sausage dogs, Frankie and Dolly. I am a proud Mum of three grown-up children who have all flown the nest, and I am lucky enough to have two wonderful grandchildren.

My journey to training to become a Qualified NOCN Accredited Independent Celebrant began after many years working as an Emergency Nurse. During that time, I supported families through both challenging and life-changing moments.

For me becoming a Celebrant was such a natural next step, still caring and supporting, but now creating unforgettable heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate life in all its forms.

I always have a creative project on the go. I love designing and crafting and discovering new inspiration.

I have a passion for all things olive green and I'm never far from a good shopping trip or planning the next trip to the sun and sea!!!

I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine and I take that spirit of fun and positivity into my life and work.

I can't wait to meet you!

Customer Testimonials

Kirstie F Plymouth

“I can thoroughly champion this lovely ladies service. I know Jilly in a nursing capacity … so I know that she’s kind , warm, diligent and has an attention to detail . But using those empathetic skills at my father’s funeral to bring us all together and support us …. Was priceless . It’s not an easy task getting the balance right but you really did . Thank you Jilly from my whole family… including my darling pops. Because he would have been so pleased with how personal the service was. “
