Wendy Ridley, Professional Celebrant

I have the best job in the world - celebrating life and love is what I do!

As a trained Professional Funeral & Wedding Celebrant (through the International College of Professional Celebrants), I am based in North Northumberland, covering Northumberland, the Scottish Borders and Tyne & Wear.

Whether your ceremony is in remembrance of a life now deceased, a celebration of meeting the love of your life or welcoming a new little person into the world, I can be there to create a ceremony for you which is wholly reflective of your wishes.

Highly organised, methodical and meticulous, I will guide you gently through the process of organising your ceremony. I specialise in weddings, funerals, baby naming ceremonies and vow renewals, but can offer other types of ceremony on request.

I have spent the last 25 years working within marketing and promotion in the higher education sector, a job which took me all over the world and involved dealing with people of all ages and from all walks of life.

During the pandemic I decided I needed a career change (years of being a traveller were starting to take their toll) and so I started researching the role of the Celebrant and found it matched perfectly to my skillset and my personality.

My career has given me many valuable skills which I can put to use in my Celebrant role – public speaking, attentive listening and creative writing skills, thinking on my feet, being highly organised and 100% reliable. But perhaps most of all in recent years I have learnt the importance of living in the moment and celebrating life while you have it.

So why not contact me today and we can begin planning your ceremony exactly the way you want?
