Celebrancy
Celebrancy in the UK has grown significantly in recent years, offering a modern, personal alternative to traditional religious or civil ceremonies. Celebrants are trained professionals who create and lead ceremonies for major life events such as weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies, and vow renewals.
At Claire Irons, I offer a friendly, approachable, non-judgemental service, open to all.
I embrace all beliefs and cultures and appreciate any opportunity to show them the recognition and compassion that they deserve.
Naming Celebrations
Whether you wish to mark the joining together of two families; a celebration to recognise your transition; or the welcoming of a new child to your family.
Weddings & Vow Renewal
Your wedding ceremony or renewal of vows, requires unforgettable moments alongside great storytelling that is both heartfelt and humorous.
Funerals & Celebrations of Life
Losing someone can be a painful, bewildering experience. In the fullness of grief, it can be incredibly difficult to plan a celebration of life that befits your loved one.

Personal Approach
Unlike religious leaders or registrars, celebrants work closely with individuals and families to craft bespoke services that reflect personal beliefs, values, and stories, without being bound by religious doctrine or legal constraints.
This personalised approach has become especially popular in a multicultural and increasingly secular society like the UK, where many people seek meaningful rituals that align with their identities and lifestyles.
Wedding celebrants, for example, allow couples to choose any setting, structure, or theme for their ceremony—something not always possible with civil ceremonies held by local authorities.
Funeral celebrants similarly offer comforting, respectful farewells that honour the deceased’s life in a way that feels authentic to their legacy and beliefs.
