Bonjour & Welcome!
I’m Natasha, an English-speaking Modern Celebrant and
Master of Ceremonies, creating bespoke ceremonies
that truly reflect and honours who you are as a couple and your story.
With a background in radio, public speaking, human rights, and diversity,
I bring a warm, inclusive presence to your day,
working alongside your venue and suppliers
so you can simply enjoy it.
My Approach
Your love story doesn’t follow a template, and your ceremony shouldn’t either. I take the time to truly get to know you, so together we can create a ceremony that feels authentic, considered, and deeply personal.
Whether you are non-religious, religious, interfaith, multicultural, LGBTQ+, or blending traditions in your own way, your ceremony will reflect who you are and what matters most to you. I guide you through the process exploring different styles, shaping the structure, and thoughtfully selecting readings, vows, and symbolic elements.
By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel confident, relaxed, and ready to share a ceremony that feels meaningful, and entirely your own.
Master of Ceremonies –
Your Day, Flowing Naturally
Let your talented planner lead behind the scenes—
I’ll host the room.
This optional add-on takes the pressure off you and your favourite people, so everyone can simply relax and enjoy this rare moment together. Working collaboratively with your wedding planner, I’m the voice your guests hear, ensuring everything flows smoothly.
I’ll welcome and seat guests, cue the bridal party, and introduce or prompt speakers and performers, keeping your guests informed, engaged, and at ease.
Additionally, I host an online rehearsal with your speakers to review cues and timings, and offer support to trim speeches if needed, so everything stays lively and on point.
As your MC, I’m the calm, reassuring presence on the mic, supporting your speakers, easing the pressure on your loved ones, and helping everyone feel confident, cared for, and completely present in the moment.
Your Wedding Ceremony in France: FAQs
Because your love story deserves more than paperwork.
-
A wedding ceremony with an Independent Celebrant in France is not legally binding. Only a ceremony conducted by the local Maire (Mayor) at the town hall can legally marry you, and these are usually short, administrative, and conducted in French. French law also requires at least 30 days of residency in the commune along with extensive paperwork, which makes it challenging for non-residents.
Most destination wedding couples handle the legal part in their home country and then come to France for the ceremony they’ve been dreaming about.
-
Freedom. Without legal restrictions or scripts, Independent Celebrants can co-design a ceremony that truly reflects you, your story, your promises, your style. This is the part your guests will remember: the laughter, the tears, the atmosphere. Having a professional celebrant means you and all of your guests can fully enjoy the ceremony, without worrying about timing, flow, or improvising.
-
I lead ceremonies in English, but I can include French elements if you’d like to honour the setting or welcome French-speaking guests.
-
Absolutely! Handfasting, wine rituals, readings, blessings or something entirely new. The ceremony is about celebrating who you are, in a way that feels true to you.
