A day for you,
for them,
for all,
kith and kin.
A journey we must take.
A memory to make.
A feeling within.
Delilah Gyves-Smart
Independent
Celebrant
​
As a trained Celebrant, I feel honoured and proud to be officiating weddings, funerals, name days and all other ceremonies.
I have been a creative writer all my life, and channeled my energy into a variety of art forms before settling into Celebrancy.
​
I originally come from a theatre and film background, and I still act, write scripts, and produce my own work. I have always been creative, and love learning about people; I love your stories and quirks, I enjoy hearing about your passions, emotions and relationships, and I take pride in collecting all of your truths, to ensure I capture every essence of you when I’m writing your ceremony.
​
As a Virgo, I am a perfectionist. I recognise lifes uncertainties, and I am thankful for each day, remaining present in the now and embracing all emotions. I value love, life, and family. Spiritually, I understand the mighty Universe and its power. Religiously, I feel and sense faith.
​
What makes me different? Well, I always bring fresh ideas to the table, and I have a young, vibrant energy to bounce off, so together we can create your unique ceremony. My urban upbringing and varied lifestyle gives me a bit of spice, adding style to your ceremonies, and I have no boundaries creatively so anything goes.
​
Whether it be a wedding, funeral or naming day, celebrations like this are a crucial journey we must take, marking off essential milestones in the adventure we call life. It is vital to get these celebrations not just right, but perfect.
​
My life experiences have given me tools to help me guide others through their day, creating a peaceful, smooth sailing ceremony for all.
​
Beautiful people need and deserve beautiful ceremonies.
Weddings
Whether it be beautiful bells in the country side,
bold bright colours in the city,
huge brass bands,
dance routines,
cocoa butter hands,
fields of green,
a concrete warehouse,
a rave with bae,
I'll help you create your perfect day.
Funerals
On a day you wished would never come,
when everything feels wrong,
with a heart so heavy and full,
when every step is long,
let's honour them with grace and love,
let's honour them.
Name Days
Tied together from this day on,
a person and their name,
say it loud,
say it proud,
say it over and over again.
Let's welcome you,
with open arms,
you,
and your name.
