Miranda the Celebrant
Hampshire Celebrant | Available for ceremonies worldwide
About Miranda the Celebrant
Miranda the Celebrant is run by me - Miranda Ash - an independent celebrant based near Winchester in Hampshire. I write and deliver weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, elopements, funerals, celebrations of life and naming ceremonies across the UK and around the world.
I’ve been a celebrant for 13 years, which means I bring a huge amount of experience, confidence and calm to every ceremony I create. As an Independent Celebrant, I’m able to work with people who want a completely non-religious ceremony, those who wish to include elements of faith, and those looking for a thoughtful blend of beliefs, cultures and traditions.
I’m known for creating ceremonies that are authentic, personal, unique and genuinely fun. I work just as happily with people who want something alternative and non-traditional as I do with those who don’t - there’s no “right” way to do a ceremony!
Celebrant Style
My ceremonies are often described as:
- Fun, Personal & Heartfelt - Ceremonies that feel truly you - full of meaning, warmth and real emotion, with plenty of joy along the way.
- Festival & Alternative Weddings - Perfect for colourful, creative and non-traditional celebrations that don’t follow the rulebook.
- High Energy & Fun - Ceremonies that feel alive - vibrant, engaging and full of personality.
- LGBTQ+ Inclusive - Proudly working with and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community.
Industry Expertise
Alongside my celebrant work, I’m also a Mentor and Coach with The Academy of Modern Celebrancy, where I support and train new celebrants entering the industry. Over the years, I’ve mentored hundreds of celebrants and regularly speak on topics related to modern celebrancy. I’m also the host and coach for the wildly successful Celebrant Success Accelerator.
I’m also an advocate for marriage reform in the UK and frequently contribute to industry conversations around inclusivity, professionalism and the future of ceremonies.
