A Celebration as Unique as Your Story

Welcome to The Complete Wedding Celebrant, where your vision takes centre stage. Led by Jonathan Waterman, a premier UK celebrant, we specialise in crafting non-statutory, heartfelt ceremonies that reflect your true personalities.
Jonathan will personally write and officiate your ceremony in accordance with your wishes, while advising on dozens of special touches to enhance the atmosphere. Whether it’s a romantic Vow Renewal, an ancient Handfasting ritual, or a modern wedding blessing, we ensure it is authentically yours.

​
The "Complete" Difference: Above and Beyond the Vows

Most celebrants arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony. Jonathan provides a comprehensive Ceremony Management service that starts long before the guests arrive.

• Logistics & Professional Liaison: I arrive early to check sound, music, and logistics, coordinating seamlessly with venue staff and other wedding professionals.
• Calming Nerves & Expert Tips: I provide reassurance, hints, and tips to the couple and family, turning pre-wedding jitters into excitement.
• The Finishing Touches: I personally assist with tying cravats and pinning buttonholes for the Groom, family, and anyone needing a steady hand.
• Photography Orchestration: I lead the "perfect confetti shot" and assist your photographer by organising family group shots, ensuring a smooth transition to your drinks reception.

Lovely review from Jessica and Benjamin who booked my professional services for there wedding day on 16 July 2025 at Guildford Manor and Spa in Surrey. They booked ' The Complete Wedding Package ' which included, Wedding Celebrant, Coordination, Toastmaster, MC, Special Touches, Games and more.  The clients also utilized my booking agency for all other services ( The clients booked with me, 360 Photobooth, Bespoke Dance Floor and more )  :-

​We hired John  for his complete wedding package, which encompassed celebrant services, toastmaster, master of ceremonies, coordinator, and game host. From start to finish, John delivered an exceptional standard of service that far exceeded our expectations. He incorporated a number of thoughtful touches, including guest interviews,  support for any questions, as well as beautifully conducted candelabra and champagne ceremonies. John also coordinated additional elements such as the dancefloor and 360 booth, ensuring everything was seamlessly integrated into the day.
 
Despite being late with hair and makeup, his professionalism and expertise brought us back on schedule without any stress.
 
The entire process with John was seamless, and the feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. His presence, organisation, and ability to engage the room added a truly memorable touch to our celebration.
​
We are deeply grateful to John for his outstanding service to our wedding and would not hesitate to recommend his services to future couples.

Review from Andrea who booked me to officiate the ' Celebration of Life ' Ceremony of Audrey Hobson at West Bromwich Albion Football Club in Birmingham on 10 August 2025   

Hi Jonathan,
​ 
I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the fantastic way you ran the program. I really appreciated how smoothly you kept everything moving and how adaptable you were, especially making the decision to wrap things up early so those who had travelled far could beat the rush hour traffic.

I also loved the way you handled the open mic session. You made it welcoming, inclusive, and engaging for everyone, and it was clear you wanted each person to feel involved and valued. Your energy, warmth, and quick thinking truly made the event memorable.

Thanks again for your professionalism and the personal touch you brought to the day, it made all the difference.

Warm regards,
Andrea

Leanne rated your service as 5/5 stars with the following feedback:
​
Jonathan was a pleasure to have as our Wedding Toastmaster and  Wedding Celebrant.
As our wedding was postponed due to lockdown and there was so much uncertainty, Jonathan was
so supportive and helped us so much in the planning of our day.

Jonathan was professional, approachable and really put a special element to our day. All our guests were impressed including myself and my husband Michael. Jonathan has so many ideas to add special touches to the day which I am so glad
we did , such as a candle ceremony in our reception which I will remember forever!
