As an Independent Celebrant I’m not bound solely to Humanist ceremonies. I have the freedom to create non-religious ceremonies or incorporate aspects of spirituality or religion, like prayers, hymns, or mentions of angels.
In my role as an Independent Funeral Celebrant, I prioritise offering genuine choice and adaptability. Each ceremony is deeply personal, centred around the individual and their cherished values and beliefs.
At the heart of your day is a ceremony as unique as your love story. I specialise in creating elegant and stylish celebrations where your connection takes centre stage. It's not just about the words; it's about crafting a bespoke experience that reflects your personalities and celebrates your journey together.
I bring a vibrant, open-minded, and fun approach to every ceremony. Your love is a celebration, and I'm here to ensure it's felt in every moment. Imagine a ceremony where the atmosphere radiates joy, and your guests are immersed in the magic of your love story. That's what Denise Whelan, Your Wedding Celebrant, brings to the table.
Ready to embark on this unforgettable journey? Let's chat, dream, and create the perfect wedding celebration that reflects you. Your day, your way, and I'm here to make it extraordinary.

The work you put into our ceremony in the month leading up to it meant a lot to us. We got so many compliments on our ceremony, from the choice of words you read, to how 'on it' you were with running things. We know we would be in safe hands and will certainly be recommending you to people in the future.

Denise far exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail was second to none. She introduced such meaningful and sentimental touches into our wedding service. She has an uncanny intuitive ability which really helps her getting to know the couple. Denise will always hold a special place in our hearts now.

The lovely, caring Denise guided, advised and prepared our 50th Wedding anniversary vow renewal ceremony. We hadn’t a clue what we wanted nor what format the ceremony might take. We needn’t have had any concerns whatsoever. Denise’s lovely guiding approach produced a fantastic ceremony that our friends and close family thoroughly enjoyed and which left everyone in tears of happiness. An afternoon that we’ll never forget.

Denise was wonderful from start to finish. From the initial conversations and questionnaires to the vow renewal, Denise went above and beyond. Whether it was sending sweeties and treats with each set of documents, or ensuring my sister in law was comfortable in her wheelchair. Nothing was too much bother. Such a lovely smiley person. Positivity breeds positivity.

Thanks so much Denise for everything, from helping find suppliers to making everyone feel welcome and comfortable on our wedding day at Rowton Castle. You told our wedding journey perfectly and we thank you too for helping Jon's mum get through her reading - she was so nervous. You surprised us with little treats with each questionnaire and the memory box was such a lovely surprise too. You really do go the extra mile, Denise.
