About

Ceremonies By Drew: Heartfelt, engaging, and uniquely yours.

Based in the heart of Newquay, I spend my days inspired by the Cornish coast, usually walking my dog along the beaches or enjoying the vibrant local community. But above all, I am driven by a passion for people and their stories. Life is a collection of distinct chapters, and I believe that the moments defining them—whether the joy of a wedding or the reflective celebration of a lifetime at a funeral—deserve to be marked with genuine warmth, dignity, and a touch of personality. As an independent celebrant, my focus is entirely on you, ensuring your milestone is honoured exactly the way you envision it.What truly sets me apart is a lifetime spent at the heart of hospitality and public celebration. With years of experience as a former cruise director, I’ve mastered the art of engaging an audience, managing large events, and making people feel instantly at ease. I know how to command a room with a smile, but more importantly, I know how to listen.

Trained to the highest professional standards, I move away from rigid, one-size-fits-all scripts to craft bespoke ceremonies tailored entirely to your unique journey. When you work with me, you’re getting a dedicated partner who brings calm reassurance, narrative flair, and a truly unforgettable touch to your special day. While I love being a part of our local Cornish community, my love for travel runs deep. Whether you are planning a beautiful coastal ceremony right here in the UK, a gathering across the water in Ireland, a romantic destination wedding in Europe, or a celebration as far afield as America—I am fully available to travel wherever your story takes you. Distance is no object when it comes to creating the perfect day.

Why We'll Make a Great Team

  • A Natural Storyteller

    Your ceremony shouldn't feel like someone reading from a standard folder. With a lifetime spent in professional hospitality and entertainment, I know how to hold a room, weave a narrative, and strike the perfect balance between joyful celebration and heartfelt dignity.

  • Calm, Reassuring Guidance

    Planning a major milestone—whether it’s a wedding or a farewell—can feel overwhelming. I pride myself on being a calm, steady anchor for you from our very first chat to the moment the ceremony concludes, taking care of every detail so you can simply be present.

  • Entirely Bespoke, Just For You

    No templates, no rigid rules, and no ticking boxes. I take the time to truly listen to your wishes, your background, and your ideas, crafting a one-of-a-kind ceremony that feels completely authentic to who you are.

Kind Words from Kind Hearts

How do you summarise 78 years of life in just 30 minutes? Drew somehow managed it beautifully.From just an hour spent listening to us and asking all the right questions. Drew got the complete measure of the man my dad was. The funeral service was truly beautiful, and the eulogy was absolutely spot on - accurate, thoughtful, and deeply personal. The balance Drew struck between laughter and tears was perfect, and it felt like he genuinely knew my dad. So many people came up to us afterwards to say what a brilliant celebrant he was and how moving and accurate the eulogy had been. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Drew helped us honour my dad in the most meaningful way, and we're incredibly grateful.

I wanted to say one final, huge thanks for the wonderful send off you gave my darling Dad. I truly couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for your beautiful card and copy of the service. I will treasure them always. Once more - thank you Drew.

We were so very lucky to have you as the Celebrant for Bren's funeral. You managed, with the few sketchy details we gave you, to bring Bren to life one last time, and we were grateful for that. Thank you so much - just keep doing what you do so perfectly.

At such a difficult time for myself and my family, Drew's compassion, caring, yet professional organisation of my Dad's funeral was invaluable. Drew's respectful approachability enabled us to say goodbye to dad in the way we wanted to. He expertly liaised with the funeral director and chapel staff on our behalf. Drew's delivery at the service was perfect and completely in line with our own eulogies.
