The ceremony is the heart of any official event and so it has to be right. Be it for a funeral/celebration of life or a wedding or naming day, it is what sets the tone for the whole event. Please read below to check out what people have thought of the ceremonies I have written and delivered.

'Willow was confident, had great projection and engaged everyone in the room so we could all hear and felt included. She summed up Gary within the first 30 seconds with a lovely sense of humour. Her story telling skills were evident, she was so warm and friendly and captured Gary superbly. It was 110% accurate and just captured the essence of Gary and his life. She was gentle but engaging and so understanding when I got upset in our first meeting.'

Cathy (Best friend of Gary)

'Willow is an utterly competent and truly professional celebrant. Her kind nature and confidence brings comfort in grief. I hold no doubt that she will be a sterling recommendation to your future families. '

Henry Akehurst (Funeral Director, Ellis Bros. Family Funeral Directors)

' I watched the live streaming of Jane’s funeral, which was often unbearably moving. I thought you were a perfect celebrant, you handled it with such calm and sensitivity. It can't have been easy but you made us feel in very safe hands - you were absolutely the right person. I hope you got some time to recover afterwards.'

Dear Willow,
I cannot thank you enough for making the day so absolutely perfect for us….so many people were singing your praises ..they felt that you told Nigel's life story as if you were part of the family and had grown up with him.
…Thank you once again from me and my family for making Nigel’s farewell so memorable for us all.
…rest assured I will be recommending you to anyone I know who needs a celebrant whatever the occasion!
Wendy C (for her husband)

...I can't stop thinking about it. I don't know how you did it. All the elements you brought together - it was like a party. And the way you kept me listening in that beautiful setting of the garden. I usually think, "Oh get on with it, but I didn't get bored once!"

Phil B (Guest at Celebration of life)

Ohh Willow, thank you!

That’s just perfect for her😘

Jane M (for her friend)

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with comments, suggestions or questions. I always love hearing from past, present and prospective clients.

Testimonials From Satisfied Clients

‘Thanks Willow.

You were marvellous and commented on by a lot of people at the wake.’

Ben S for the funeral of his mother. (CO-OP Funeral Service Wimpole Road, Colchester, Essex.)

Thank you so much Willow, I was just talking about you and the work and service yesterday. Everyone gave such good feedback to me about it. People wanting to book you now for their funerals! More than that for us it was such a truly lovely tribute to Matthew and perfect send off for him we can't express our gratitude to you. Xxx

Willow was the celebrant at the funeral of my wife Jane. She was perfect. The conversations before the day were detailed but sensitive and the communication with me and the Funeral Directors was flawless. On the day itself, Willow’s calmness set the perfect tone. Jane’s funeral was mainly at home but also partly at a crematorium. Willow was very happy to be flexible in the face of these slightly unusual arrangements.

The funeral was full of love and happiness as well as the inevitable sadness. Willow was a very big part of a special day celebrating my lovely wife.

Hugh K

It was as if Carol had written her own funeral service; it had structure, creativity, and humour.

Merrion R (Niece)

Oh Willow, I read this and it is making me cry.

Thank you for what you have written.

On behalf of us all I would just like to thank you again for everything you did to make our father’s funeral go so well. We all deeply appreciate the time and care you took over it all.

With kindest regards,

Sheree W

Thank you so much for creating this, its beautiful and I think you've completely captured her.

Hepzi R (Niece)

That’s a beautifully crafted service - thank you - you had me in tears already!

Nancy R (Sister in Law)

Thank you so much Willow. I love what you have written and I know Dad would too.

Lois D

‘…a breath of fresh air. You should be very proud of that funeral.’

Tom (Chapel attendant - Chichester Crematorium)

Guest (T and J's wedding.)

I have been to a lot of weddings and I loved just how invested and authentic you were as you led the ceremony. Really beautifully done.

Groom (Festival wedding 2025)

We had Willow perform the ceremony for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better service! The service she held for us was perfect from start to finish. It had everything we wanted, and ebbed and flowed beautifully with elements of comedy, emotion and originality. The communication in the lead up to the wedding was perfect with every detail discussed thoroughly so as to ensure it was just what we'd had in mind, and some great suggestions along the way too!

Bride (Woodland wedding 2025)

In a world swept up in material things, we wanted our wedding to hold meaning, the why, the soul of it all. Not a production, but presence. Something magical, personal, and completely ours. We dreamed of a day that felt like home, rooted in love, woven with ritual, held by nature, and embraced by family, children, and pets. We believe in God, but not in traditional religion, or impersonal spaces. That's why we chose celebrant, Willow Nash.

Groom (Vow Renewal 2025)

Enlisting the awesome services of Willow Nash was the best thing we did. Her guidance, knowledge and patience with us were invaluable not to mention her enthusiasm and seemingly never ending industry. Willow conducted our ceremony while dressed as a character from our favourite TV comedy which went down a storm with all our guests who afterwards heaped their praise on her for her performance, so Willow, thank you once again for what you did for us. You will be forever in mine and Suzy's hearts

Groom (following our planning meeting)

It was great to meet you, thank you for your time with us today, you have such a peaceful vibe, it's hard not to like you.

Husband and Wife (Vow Renewal 2025)

Thank you Willow for everything you did. All the family and friends thought you were brilliant. Thank you for all your hard work. All the reviews were fantastic...especially yours...you might get a nomination for the Vowsers Academy Awards...tidy.

*This Vow Renewal ceremony included a comedy sketch based on Gavin and Stacey where I played Nessa - really anything goes in a celebrant - led ceremony!
