Andrea Taylor (she/her) of Soulful Celebrant is honoured to offer the prize of her gorgeous Celebrant services to support, co-create, collaborate, write and present a ceremony, whatever the ceremony and ritual you want or need.

It could be a non -legal wedding ceremony, elopement, vow renewal, indeed any intentional, ethical conscious commitment, any rite of passage or transformative, big moment in your life. I offer as safe a space as I can to advocate, inspire, learn, guide and offer informed choice as we co-create your ceremony. Once a date and location is agreed we'd gather around 4-5 months before your day and begin our collaboration, meeting as required, either over video call or in person (Edinburgh area only), for the planning of your ceremony.

Usually this includes around 2-3 in-person and/or 1-3 video calls meetings pre-ceremony with contact post-ceremony, if requested. Whether it's an intimate elopement or a large gathering, on your day I will be available for as much, or as little, of the day as you wish/need. When sharing your ceremony, I hold the space for everyone, therefore offering a pause to feel the moment in heart, mind and in our very bones.

I am Agnostic Celebrant based in Edinburgh, Scotland and my pronouns are she/her. I have practiced Celebrancy since 2019 and am non-dogmatic, inclusive, open-minded and collaborative. I am a bright, spirited practitioner ready to nurture creativity and co-creation while holding space for your ceremony with authenticity and care. My practice as a celebrant has been moulded, and inspired, by my long career as a midwife. Many of the personal characteristics and skills required for my midwifery practice are beautifully transferable to my practice as a celebrant therefore I have the skills to work alongside couples, families and communities and take time to develop meaningful relationships during all of the numerous life events that have the potential to transform or change the direction of our lives. Every element of the ceremony will be woven with your own unique blend of hopes, beliefs and values, whether these include elements of faith-based, spiritual or secular. All the sentiment, rituals, music and much loved traditions included are entirely your choice.

TERMS:

The ceremony should take place in 2026 and will be a non-legal ceremony ie not a legal marriage or civil partnership. The ceremony can take place anywhere in the UK/Europe though travel expenses and, in some cases, away from home expenses must be covered. I ask that my basic tenets of being respectful, doing no harm and leaving no trace are acknowledged and shared with any folk who win this prize. Please know that for me being respectful and doing no harm relates to all living beings and the natural world.
