Hi, I'm Reena
I'm a storyteller at heart.
I spent years working as a private city guide in Rome, bringing ancient history to life for visitors from around the world. Now, I bring your stories to life through ceremonies that celebrate who you are and what matters most.
​
Whether it's a wedding, vow renewal, naming ceremony, funeral, or celebration of life, I put my heart and soul into crafting meaningful, personal ceremonies. I love people. I love stories. I love art, literature, culture, and celebration, and I weave all of that joy into every ceremony I create.
It's lovely to meet you.
My Experience
I'm a qualified independent celebrant and proud member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, based in Manchester and serving the North West and beyond. I'm trained with Civil Ceremonies and hold Level 3 Diplomas in both Couples and Naming Ceremonies and Funeral Celebrancy, the highest recognised qualifications in this field.
My journey has been wonderfully varied. I spent many years as a private city guide in Rome, where I learned the art of storytelling and how to bring moments to life with passion and enthusiasm. I also worked with young people at the UK's largest youth charity, supporting disadvantaged children and discovering the power of truly listening and connecting with heart.
These experiences have shaped everything I do as a celebrant, helping families and couples navigate their journey with warmth, ease, and genuine care.
My Background & Approach
My journey as a celebrant began with pure joy. I was asked to give a reading at my sister's celebrant-led wedding, and it was magic. Her day felt so perfectly in tune with her and her husband. Their Indian and Welsh backgrounds were beautifully woven together in a ceremony that was joyful, emotional, and utterly unique. I felt the buzz of it all and had a lightbulb moment. I just knew this was what I wanted to do.
After years in Rome, I moved to Manchester and found my home, my tribe, and my calling. For weddings and vow renewals, I work closely with couples to capture their unique journey, full of love, laughter, and beautiful memories. For naming ceremonies, I help families celebrate new beginnings with warmth and joy. And in times of loss, I offer gentle, compassionate support for funerals and celebrations of life, honouring loved ones in ways that feel personal, comforting, and true to who they were.
​
Each ceremony I create is bespoke and heartfelt, a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate life in all its beautiful forms.
