"Your story, beautifully heard and beautifully told"

Every moment deserves to be marked with meaning

"Whether you are celebrating a new beginning, a long-standing love or saying a gentle goodbye, I am here to help you create something truly and uniquely yours."

Weddings

"Your love story, beautifully told"

Wedding ceremonies are created around your love story — a celebration of love, life, caring and hope. By getting to know you as a couple and listening to your dreams, hopes and wishes for the future, I can shape a truly unique ceremony that reflects who you are and what matters most to you both.

I can help you choose music, poems, readings and marriage rituals, including ring warming, handfasting, sand blending, or incorporate other rituals from any nationality or belief.

Renewal of Vows

"Loving you then, loving you now, loving you always"

Many couples choose to celebrate milestones in their marriage by renewing their vows, surrounded by family and friends. The choice of location is entirely up to you.

Just as with a wedding, I can help create a highly personal ceremony that reflects your personalities and what matters most. Music, readings, poems and rituals can all be included, such as planting a tree, re-warming your rings, handfasting or a sand ceremony.

Naming Ceremonies

"A name to carry, a life to celebrate"

Whether you're welcoming a baby into the world, honouring a new identity or embracing diversity, there are many exciting ways to celebrate a new chapter. The commitments you make will create a magical, shared experience, remembered for a lifetime.

I can help you create your naming ceremony incorporating music, poems, readings, meaningful rituals, and special messages from friends and family. You could consider filling a time capsule, naming a star, performing a sand ceremony or planting a flower or tree.

Funerals

"Held close in memory, wrapped tight in love"

Saying goodbye to loved ones is not easy, but I will be with you every step of the way.

I will take time to get to know and understand your loved one — your special memories, what made them laugh, their hobbies, who held them close, their dreams and their legacy. I can include religious elements such as a prayer, bible reading or hymn. Together we will create a ceremony that truly reflects your wishes and honours the life of the deceased. Every ceremony is handled with dignity and love.

Caroline Mastrorilli, Professional Celebrant

A celebrant who truly listens

"It's an honour and privilege to guide people through the most important moments in their lives."

Hi, I'm Caroline, a Professional Celebrant trained by the International College of Professional Celebrants (ICPC). I work with individuals, couples and families to create and deliver unique, heartfelt ceremonies that mark the key moments in our lives, from birth to bereavement. I believe these moments should be marked with love, warmth, care, compassion and meaning.

Since I was young, I have cherished and thrived on the connections I've made and continue to make with people. I adore listening to life stories and hearing about the things that people hold dear. I love to laugh, and share my heart and compassion with others.

I live in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Chiltern Hills. My life has been deeply rewarding. Before I found my true vocation as a Celebrant, I worked in industry, organising international events, in classrooms as a support teacher, on helplines as a Childline counsellor, and an Events Manager for a charity.

What people say.

"Caroline was the Celebrant for my dad's funeral service. It was a joyous occasion and the eulogy she wrote was a real celebration of his life, mentioning his passion for his family, friends and his beloved football. It felt like he was laughing with us at the anecdotes shared."

Sheila · Buckinghamshire, 2026

"From our very first meeting, Caroline put us at ease. She has a warmth and compassion that is rare, and the care she put into every word of our ceremony meant the world to us and our family."

Richard · Buckinghamshire, 2026

"Caroline wrote a beautiful celebration for our 60th wedding anniversary, the ring warming and candle ritual was perfect, memories to treasure."

Everything you need to know.

What is the difference between a Registrar and a Celebrant?
A Registrar is a council-employed official who operates in licensed venues, follows set words, procedures and often limits their time to 30 minutes. A professionally trained Celebrant will meet with you well in advance, either at your home or another venue if you'd prefer and design the ceremony entirely around you. Ceremonies can be conducted almost anywhere — including woodlands, gardens and stately homes — and can incorporate a religious element if desired.
Why choose a Celebrant?
In choosing a celebrant you will have total creative freedom. Celebrants can help you create a deeply personal ceremony. They can meet you in your home or any chosen location, spend time listening to your wishes and vision, build a strong connection, and help shape, write and deliver a truly unique, personalised and heartfelt ceremony in a venue of your choice.
Can a Celebrant conduct a legally binding wedding?
Currently a celebrant cannot complete the legal paperwork for a marriage. However, many couples visit a register office to sign the legal paperwork, then use a celebrant to deliver a beautiful, unique ceremony in a special location to share with friends and family.
What areas do you cover?
I am based in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, and work across the surrounding counties including Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Please do get in touch to discuss your specific location — I will do my best to accommodate.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings and larger events I recommend getting in touch as early as possible — many couples book 12–18 months ahead. For funerals, naming ceremonies and vow renewals, I will always do my very best to accommodate you.
What happens at our first meeting?
Our first meeting is all about getting to know each other. It's for me to listen to you and understand your wishes and vision for the ceremony. I can arrange to visit you at your home, at a location of your choice or we can arrange an online chat.

Your most important moments deserve to be uniquely yours.

Tell me a little about what you have in mind, and I will help guide you through every step.
