Planning the perfect day for you

When planning your ceremony, it will be important for you to get to know the person who will be performing your ceremony for you, known as a celebrant.

Choosing the right celebrant for you is really important as it will make your ceremony more personal and your day extra special.

So, who is Helen Peach-O'Malley and why would she make an excellent celebrant for you?

Let’s find out.

Meet Helen

Friendly, caring and a little quirky

Helen lives in Leicester with her husband, four step-children and her fur baby pug, Leia. She would describe herself as a posh goth with a hippy heart.

As well as loving black, sparkly things and bright colours, she’s a huge fan of music festivals such as Download. Her eclectic music tastes include rock, metal, EDM, 90’s grunge and indie.

Linking in with the festival theme, Helen’s favourite place is Glastonbury Town, due to its beauty, spirituality, unique shops and quirky people. Helen’s handfasting ceremonies are connected with Glastonbury, so if you feel it has a connection for you also, Helen will be exactly the right choice to perform a memorable ceremony that will touch your heart, spirit and mind.

Helen’s other interests include Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and dark comedies such as the League of Gentlemen, Black Adder and Black Books. Yoga and long walks with Leia keeps her fit. And, Leia is a great sounding board when planning and reciting the lines for your ceremony.

Since doing my qualifications I have found a new calling as a celebrant and I am deeply passionate about the amazing service we can bring to people.
