Cambridge Wedding and Funeral Celebrant
Welcome to my website. My name in Alison Walker and I am a Civil Celebrant, registered with UKSOC. I live near Cambridge and work all over East Anglia.
I was inspired to train as a Celebrant by attending some amazing, uplifting events where I realised that civil ceremonies don’t have to be dull and boring!
Well-crafted and led ceremonies can be deeply personal expressions of love, joy or loss, shared with family and friends. I will work with you to make your event stand out.
Get in touch and let’s start building the perfect ceremony to celebrate your story!
What is a Civil Celebrant
A civil celebrant writes and performs ceremonies which are free from any legal restrictions on content and location. In short, a ceremony written especially for you, to tell your unique story in a unique way.
What they say
We wanted to say a huge thank you for conducting the ceremony at our wedding. You did a fantastic job and your ceremony speech was perfectly written…
Mr & Mrs W
Just wanted to drop you a message to say thank you for yesterday. You did a fabulous job and the little things didn’t go unnoticed…
Mr & Mrs O
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for the brilliant ceremony you conducted on Friday. It was just perfect! We had the most magical day from start to finish, literally the best day of our lives.

Weddings & Civil Partnership Ceremonies
A celebrant-led ceremony allows you to marry where, when and how you want to, with your own personalised script, readings, music and promises. A place special to you, with the people special to you and a time that suits you. If you want a sunrise ceremony on the beach, a beautiful enchanted woodland wedding or a thrill-seeking mountain top adventure these are all possible with a celebrant-led ceremony.
I believe your ceremony should reflect who you are as a couple and I would love to tell the world your story, a ceremony that is unique, personal and meaningful.
Funerals
A funeral celebrant writes and leads a ceremony based on the life of the person who has died. The funeral ceremony is a ‘celebration of life’ that honours the person’s memory. This approach places an emphasis on the person and creates a ceremony of meaning and substance. Should you wish to include any religious or spiritual wording, a prayer or a hymn these can be also included.
I can help with music, poems, readings and special elements, to make the ceremony exactly what the family want. I am trained to write and lead cremation, burial, natural burial, interment, scattering of ashes and memorial ceremonies based on the bereaved family’s preferences.
Other Ceremonies
