Hi, I’m Paula

Paula Black, Independent Celebrant

About 

I am an Independent Celebrant and a member of, both, the Association of Independent Celebrants, the  Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and also a Founding Member of the Celebrant Guild.

You are probably on this page because you are looking for something that isn’t what everyone else has had – you want something that is authentic to you, the people you are or the person you loved.

I love my role, meeting people and then being trusted to take their words and craft a story-telling wedding that is fun, creative and inclusive ceremony to be shared with friends and relatives.

From the beginning of a life to the end – it takes us on amazing journeys  and everyone has a story that is worth being told. Together we can navigate the difficult times where we need to prepare to remember the many wonderful events that of a loved ones life, even if your time together was far too short.

It is a privilege to present a new person to the world and understand the history behind their name and share it with loved ones, share the hopes for the future and the promises made to them by their family and their chosen adults. Sometimes. that new person has chosen to present their true living self to family and friends and those occasions are second to none in the emotion of saying ‘This is who I am or who we are’.

All of these occasions make me realise just how lucky I am to have been chosen by you to be part of your life.
