Wall of love
Read the love stories of my couples over the years…
“We interviewed a few celebrants before we found Karlina and we knew she was perfect for our ceremony. Karlina got our sense of humour and planned us a perfect ceremony that was so us and exactly what we wanted. Full of laughter and fun.
So we just want to say a huge thank you for such a great ceremony on Friday. We loved it and we got so many compliments afterwards saying it was the best wedding ceremony they'd ever been too! I, of course, agree :) Thank you Karlina!
One friend said he normally dreads them as they are so boring but he said he absolutely loved it.
So, thank you for getting our vibe and pitching it exactly how we wanted. The day was just amazing and we are so sad it's over. Just trying to work out if I can wangle a third wedding somehow. Thank you again, it was so lovely to meet you.”
Emily & Gareth
“From the moment we met her we knew she had to be involved in our day! Such a bubbly, lovely, professional, welcoming lady. All of our friends and family absolutely loved her!
With the lead up to the wedding Karlina had a few FaceTimes and calls with us to get to know us and help gather information from us about how me and Lewis met and our life’s together.
She compiled this into the most amazing ceremony which just summed our relationship up perfectly. She created a shot ceremony for us to share with everyone and it was truly unique and super memorable!
Such a wonderful lady! So glad we shared our special day with you!!”
Emma & Lewis
“If you’re searching for the perfect celebrant, look no further - I cannot recommend Karlina / Blessings & Ceremonies enough for your special day. From the first meeting, I could tell right away that she is a truly special person with an incredible talent. She has such a warm and kind personality, and went above and beyond to thoroughly learn about me and my husband to craft a very moving, personalised wedding ceremony. Not only did her written words make me tear up, but her delivery of the ceremony was absolutely spectacular. It was a very windy day down by the seafront, and Karlina was able to project her voice such that she could be heard, while still creating a soft and intimate atmosphere for us and our guests. If I could give 100 stars, I would - Karlina is FABULOUS! Thank you so much!”
Sam & Marc
“Karlina was perfect! We were looking for a celebrant for our wedding and we knew Karlina was the perfect person to conduct our ceremony as soon as we first spoke to her.
She was so lovely, listened to everything we wanted and were looking for, just got us, and provided some suggestions to make our ceremony entertaining. Our guests loved our ceremony and so did we.
Karlina wrote the perfect script first time with no amendments needed! Thank you so much!”
Kayleigh & John
“What an incredible lady! Warm, down to earth, confident, soft and absolutely amazing!! Karlina THANK YOU!!

Rae & Alex
“We had Karlina as our celebrant for our wedding. She was a dream. From the first call up to after the wedding Karlina was just lovely and really made us feel comfortable. She is a warm, sweet, lovely human! She really spent the time to get to know us which allowed her to conduct our ceremony exactly how we wanted it, with love and lots of humour. We highly recommend Karlina!
Sukhi & Tom
“We wanted a wedding celebrant who represented the realness of who we are as a couple. We didn’t want any of the cliche stuff, we wanted it to be pure, simple and beautifully full of love. Karlina was all this and more, the most genuine celebrant we’ve seen, and we’ve been to a lot of weddings!!
She made us feel so relaxed and was the ultimate professional, even selecting a neutral outfit that complimented the colourful bride and groom’s attire. If you want your day to be your way, but uplifted and united by the celebrant’s guidance, she’s your girl.
Karlina shines the light on the couples she marries in her warm, loving and delightful way. Thank you Karlina for creating a moment we will remember forever. We love you.”
Emma & Marcus
“We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you curated and led, we felt so comfortable and at ease considering the enormity of the day and that was a real testament to your presence. Karlina is such a helpful and warmhearted person, with a professional yet very down-to-earth approach. Karlina helped us tailor our wedding ceremony with a range of available options and got to know us individually and as a couple, which was directly reflected in the ceremony on the day. By telling our story in a way which our friends and family knew us, everyone was part of the beautiful, touching and funny ceremony. We are still receiving lovely comments from all those that attended on how much they enjoyed it. We are so grateful to have met Karlina and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Rhiannon & Tom
“Karlina was warm and professional from the very start. She made sure that she got to know us (and us her) and was very keen to ensure that our ceremony was personal to us and suited who we were as people and as a couple. We aren't hugely spiritual people and didn’t want to opt for any of the alternative ceremonies but this wasn’t a problem at all (although this is something Karlina offers and is very good at - it just wasn’t us). We were looking for a ceremony that was of an official feeling but individual to us and not too stiff. Karlina managed to tell our story and create the perfect ceremony. We feel truly lucky to have found Karlina, she gave us a ceremony that both made us and our guests laugh and cry. We couldn't be more thankful to Karlina or recommend her highly enough. You won’t regret it.”
Hannah & Michael
“Karlina was a huge and wonderful part of our wedding day.
An absolutely delightful human being who made our wedding day feel so so special.
She spent a lot of time beforehand talking through our lives, love story and how we wanted our day to look.
She offered us different blessing options and we opted for a wine ceremony, it was perfect.
Karlina even asked if there was a colour scheme on the day so she could blend in. So many people commented on how beautiful the ceremony was so thank you, thank you, thank you Karlina the World's Best Celebrant x”
Cassie & Tom
“We initially found it hard to imagine what our wedding ceremony would look like, but Karlina created the most perfect service for us in every way imaginable. From our very first meeting, she was warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely eager to learn about us as a couple. Working together to shape the ceremony became one of the most special parts of the entire planning process. We spoke about our story, and she shared unique ideas to help bring it to life for us and for our guests on the day. Every part of the service was thoughtfully considered, and Karlina made sure we discussed each element together so the ceremony truly reflected who we are as a couple. When the wedding day finally arrived, Karlina was a true professional—both a calming influence for us and the most compelling storyteller and spokesperson for our audience. We received so many lovely comments from our guests about how beautiful the service was; there wasn’t a dry eye in sight! The ceremony really sets the tone for the entire wedding day, and Karlina exceeded every expectation. We’ll be forever grateful.”
Charlie & Harrison
“Karlina is a wonderful celebrant – she is warm, professional, and committed to preparing and delivering a ceremony that will both capture the significance of the moment and beautifully reflect who you are as a couple.
Although we got married in Kent we live in Canada, so all the preparations for the ceremony happened online via video calls. This was no barrier for Karlina - all our calls in preparation for the wedding were a delight – she had a magical method and skill for turning our scattered stories and memories into a ceremony that conveyed the essence of what brought us together and the values and vows we share as a couple.
Karlina delivered a ceremony that exceeded our expectations both in the story she told about us and our journey, but also in the tone that she set on the day – her delivery of the ceremony was just right. She has the remarkable ability to imbue the moment with warmth, joy, humour and love. It captured the importance of this moment for us and conveyed it to our family and friends, many of whom told us how much they were touched by the ceremony.
We are so grateful that Karlina was an integral part of our wedding day. She is a star celebrant, and we can’t recommend her enough.”
Sylvie & Andy
“Karlina designed the wonderful wedding ceremony for our woodland-themed wedding this summer. She got it absolutely spot-on. The ceremony was the perfect combination of professional and personal. Karlina dedicated time getting to know us both as a couple beforehand so that the words she wrote for us were unique and drew on some of our favourite memories and experiences together. She did this so well, that her writing and readings had everyone in tears. Happy ones of course! She has a lovely way with words and was able to express for us just what we wanted to share with our friends and family. At the beginning, we had no idea of how to plan or organise our own ceremony and Karlina was able to guide us through a wide range of options, meaning that it ran smoothly, succinctly and included the various elements that we wanted to include from a traditional ceremony as well as incorporating elements of pagan and humanist ceremonies too. The day went perfectly and we couldn’t have chosen a better, more caring and creative celebrant than Karlina.”
Ali & Nikki
“Karlina is a wonder celebrant. Patient, kind, understanding, professional from start to finish. She knew us inside out and spoke from the heart – with confidence and clarity.
Not only did she take time to review and study our forms and documentation to design a fabulous ceremony but she also gave us advice throughout the organisation of our special day.
It was a very personal and creative ceremony with family involvement which made it extra special. Karlina was there for our rehearsal. From her years in choreography she was able to instruct the family to take their places at the right time. So everyone knows what to expect. It was so helpful. So organised.
The wedding day itself - Karlina was smart, calm, understanding, professional, humorous, patient. Martin needed water during his vows. She cleverly hid the glass in her had behind a small bloom of flowers so that the glass didn’t show in the photos. It’s small things like that, they make a big difference to the day!
Karlina has years of experience on the theatrical stage and it paid off in so many ways during the whole day. Our wedding party absolutely loved the ceremony. We loved it and will be forever grateful to Karlina for adding the magic touch to a wonderful day!!
Karlina is highly recommended. She can adapt to everyones needs and find a way of making the ceremony unique to each couple. We found the best celebrant, with the biggest heart and the kindest soul 100% professional. Feeling so very grateful.”
Liv & Martin
“We had met with a few celebrants to find the perfect fit for us as a couple and Karlina was definitely the best. She was very personable and we immediately felt comfortable getting to know her. She wanted to make sure we picked the right ceremony for us and spent time going through all of the options. There were elements of the ceremony we wanted to add in and she worked everything in beautifully. The day itself was perfect and our guests commented on how wonderful and touching the ceremony was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!”
Lucy & Abdi
“Karlina was the most wonderful, kind and thoughtful celebrant that we could of hoped for. She went way above and beyond what we could have expected and put so much thought into making the ceremony specifically for us (and about us of course).
After the initial meeting (which was just a really lovely chat about our lives). Karlina sent us some questions about our story which were very fun to fill out! We met a few more times to chat through everything. On our wedding day, Karlina was such a beautiful presence and it genuinely brings us so much joy that she made our wedding what is was.
We received many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was. And we have to agree, Karlina is the dream celebrant.”
Beatrice & Henry
“Karlina really made our day so special. She took so much time and attention on our ceremony and made sure everything was perfect. The words she wrote were beautiful and included everything we wanted. Karlina made us feel comfortable and completely at ease through everything and was an absolute star on our wedding day. If you are looking for a professional but also friendly and just lovely celebrant, I would highly recommend Karlina. Thank you again so much.”
Leonie & Lewis
“We would like to express how grateful we are that you were able to be part of our wedding day. Thank you for creating, what for us was the perfect ceremony. It summed up everything we wanted to have said in front of our family and friends, and you delivered it so well. We couldn’t have been happier with it and received so many compliments about you and how perfect the ceremony was. The first dance routine you choreographed and taught us was also so good, and we both actually said how we enjoyed doing it so much, even though we were a little nervous before to say the least! We just wanted to say a big heartfelt thank you for all your help and everything you did to make the ceremony so beautiful and memorable! We couldn’t have been more happier with it. We would have no hesitation in recommending you. We really enjoyed the day and wouldn’t have changed a thing!”
Erica & Andy
“Finding Karlina felt serendipitous for both of us. She was the perfect fit for two creatives tying the knot. She was simply wonderful on the day, performing the small, intimate ceremony in Kipling Gardens. So many guests commented on what a lovely presence she was. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything played out on the day; thanks, in no small part, to the attention and care Karlina showed us throughout”
Nicola & Ian
“My husband and I had a Twilight Ceremony at our wedding held by Karlina. We received a fantastic response from guests with many calling this the highlight of their day.
Our evening guests are as important to us as day guests, and we felt that we wanted to share our commitment, love and appreciation with them too. Karlina held a beautiful ceremony which included the tying of the fisherman’s knot, introduced the cutting of the cake and the first dance.
Karlina did an incredible job from beginning to end. She visited our home to get to know us and understand our vision. She provided helpful direction and had her own questions to ensure the ceremony had a personal touch. Karlina worked quickly on the ceremony wording and it was perfect the first time. We would highly recommend Karlina. She is a lovely woman and a joy to work with. Her professionalism was fantastic throughout, and most of all, she delivered a wonderful ceremony which made our day extra special. Thank you Karlina, we appreciate everything you did for us! Forever grateful, Mr and Mrs Davies x”
Nick & Chantelle
“We used Karlina for renewing our wedding vows. We decided at the last minute to do it and found Karlina with not a lot of notice and we were so Iucky she could squeeze us in. She came and met with us and noted down all the details of exactly what we wanted. We wanted something fairly low key and what she provided was amazing. Karlina wrote the perfect words and completely understood what it was we wanted. It was lovely to have her there and she was so warm and welcoming. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks for making it a day we’ll never forget x”
Karla & Phil
“Not only is Karlina an absolutely incredible human being but she is an absolute master of her craft. I have had the pleasure of knowing Karlina for many years through family friends and when it came to wedding planning, it immediately became apparent that Karlina had to be a part of our special day. My wife had not met Karlina before but by the time our wedding came around, Karlina had taken so much time to learn about my wife and our relationship to make our ceremony so truly special. While I was up at the altar during our wedding ceremony, Karlina constantly provided such a warming and calming presence. She is such a well spoken celebrant who is able to capture the audiences attention immediately and perfectly tell stories that she had taken so much time to learn.
Our ceremony was truly beautiful and beyond my wildest dreams of how touching a ceremony could be. Karlina will take so much time to learn a couples relationship history, their feelings towards each other and will orchestrate the day with such flow. Thank you so so much for everything that you have done for us. You truly deserve nothing but the very best in your work!”
Charlie & Katelin
“As soon as we spoke to Karlina, we knew she was the right celebrant for us. She was incredibly friendly, warm and fun and it felt like she understood us immediately. She was very helpful and patient with us in the planning of our bespoke ceremony, and delivered it beautifully on the day. Karlina was supportive with the emotions on the day, and was quick-thinking when things didn’t go quite to plan, making it appear seamless to all the guests. Thank you very much Karlina for helping make our day special and memorable.”
Adam & Abby
“Karlina was our celebrant for our woodland wedding in May. She was fantastic. So calm and helpful guiding us through the process before the day and helped us keep grounded on the day, while creating a beautiful non-religious ceremony that was perfectly tailored to us. Would strongly recommend her to anyone planning their special day!”
Jono & Nikki
“It was clear from our first video meeting with Karlina she was the right person for us. Enthusiastic without being over the top! The day was a very happy blur but I was grateful for her help and support both before and during our ceremony. It really felt so beautifully crafted and personalised to us as a couple, and it was evident from the time taken in preparation calls and the forms we filled in. Thank you to Karlina for all her hard work and brilliant approach. I really appreciated during the ceremony that she took moments of checking in with us both, helping us really stay present. Her calm and warm approach to everything was exactly what we wanted for our day - and she really went above and beyond to ensure all members of our family felt included. Absolute star.”
Pip & Jack
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Karlina as our celebrant for our wedding and we can honestly say that she made our day unforgettable. From the moment we first met her, we knew she was the one to help us create the ceremony of our dreams.
Karlina has a natural warmth and presence that immediately put us at ease. She listened to our story, understood our vision for the day, and helped us craft a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple.
Her professionalism was impeccable, yet she brought such a personal touch that made everything feel so special. Karlina's delivery was flawless – sincere, heartfelt, and with just the right amount of humour to keep everyone engaged. It was like she had known us for years, and her words resonated with every single guest. She also made sure every detail was taken care of, guiding us through the whole process with ease.
From the ceremony structure to the vows, Karlina’s expert advice and attention to detail were a huge help.
We could not have asked for a better celebrant to bring our dream ceremony to life. Thank you, Karlina, for being a part of our special day and for making it so personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. If you're looking for a celebrant who truly cares, looks after every detail, and brings an incredible energy to your ceremony, Karlina is your person!”
