Elin Edwards Celebrant is an independent celebrancy service based in Cardiff, specialising in warm, professional, and personality-fuelled modern ceremonies — all with a touch of fabulous. I work with couples and families to create ceremonies that truly reflect who they are — their values, cultures, and stories — in English, Welsh, or bilingual ceremonies. With a background in performing, writing,

and strategic communications, I bring confidence, clarity, and creativity to every ceremony. I’m as comfortable shaping beautiful words as I am delivering them, ensuring each moment feels natural, heartfelt, and memorable. Expect presence, humour, and flair — all grounded in professionalism and a genuine commitment to creating personal, sincere, and relaxed ceremonies that feel unmistakably you.

A 5⭐️ google review… but when it comes from the Mother of the Bride?!🥹❤️

Elena and George’s wedding just radiated love and laughter - and the same was true of the months of prep we put into ceremony planning before the big day. 🫶

I love getting to know my couples - and it is such a bonus as a celebrant when I get to know the friends and family too! The extra stories and observations about them as individuals and as a couple - you can feel the pride and love they have for them 🤩

Diolch yn fawr iawn for such lovely words❤️

From the Physicians of Myddfai to the Lady of the Lake… Myddfai is magical 🧚‍♀️

I filmed this just before Elena & George’s unforgettable wedding ceremony (more on that later!) & I just wanted to give you a taste a little taste of this very special corner of the Bannau Brycheiniog! What a venue⛰️

Hark at me doing more folklore Cymraeg 🧙‍♀️

Have you heard of “priodas coes ysgub”? ♥️🧹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Roughly translated, it’s a “broomstick wedding” yn Gymraeg - but allow me to dust off my witch’s hat & explain…! 🧙‍♀️

I was thrilled when one of my couples asked me to include this almost-forgotten Welsh tradition in their ceremony. I read a LOT of the history of it too - so many versions in folklore - and the symbolism is lush too❤️

The result? An high-octane ceremony finish that had the whole room counting down yn Gymraeg! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If you’re after ceremony that’s unmistakably Cymraeg & embraces the drama… you know where to find me. Full Royal QOH energy 👑 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A Reel in which I wear hats… and talk Marriage Law reform! 🎩

… because it turns out being both a celebrant and a public affairs consultant comes in handy when marriage law reform hits the headlines! 💍 📰

As a Welsh celebrant, I’d love to see a future where couples have even more freedom to celebrate their marriage in ways that reflect their language, culture and community 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ❤️

And yes… I still firmly believe that Calon Lân shouldn’t be off limits simply because you’re not getting married in a church. 😉

If you’d like to have your say, the UK Government’s consultation is now open, and anyone can respond right here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/tying-the-knot-reforming-weddings-law-in-england-and-wales

Introducing Divas yn Darllen! 📚✨

My new series where divas showcase some readings which I reckon would be perfect for ceremonies! 💋

This is “Cariad” by the wonderful Welsh poet , shared here with her kind permission (diolch, Llio ❤️). Geiriau arbennig, llawn cynhesrwydd 🛁 dwi’n caru’r darn ma!

I asked the incomparable to bring it to the screen in his own epic way. Naturally, he delivered - voice of Burton that one 👑👌

I’m often asked for suggested readings - particularly yn Gymraeg and this one is fresh & fun - *chefs kiss! ❤️

Readings add personality & colour & is such a gift to your ceremony - plus your chosen readers will always feel so privileged 🫶

Anyone can include ychydig o Gymraeg - whether you’re rhygl, yn dysgu or just want to honour your 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 roots. (rough translation below!)

I want Divas yn Darllen to become a little collection of exactly that: other divas, other voices, other words worth hearing! Geiriau’r galon - lleisiau’r divas! ❤️

Love
gan Llio Maddocks

Falling in love is like sitting in a bath.
Warm, for a moment.
So warm that every inch of your skin tingles,
and tiny pins prick with every touch.

Steam rises,
dizzying you,
until your memories feel as though they rhyme,
and your dreams become reality.

Around your ankles,
bubbles of new experiences burst over you like kisses.

Then, slowly, without you noticing,
the heat begins to fade,
and one by one, each bubble disappears.

But you sit there happily,
simply being.

That is when you will know.

❤️So… what’s the booking process?!

Well - this is a bit more about how we get started!

When it comes to creating your ceremony - I don’t just turn up on the day, I’m with you every step - from the initial discovery meeting to the ideas chats along the way - it’s a process all about bringing your vision & hopes for the ceremony to life! Ultimately my goal is for you to relax & know that your are in safe hands with the QOH ❤️😉👑

📆 A question I also get is: “When should we book?” The answer is there’s no magic number. I’ve had couples book me 18 months in advance - and others who got in touch just weeks before their wedding! If I’m available - I’d love to see if we vibe!

🏰 And if you have questions - ceremony related or otherwise, just drop me a message - general advice, supplier & venue recommendations - I’m here for it!

Pre-ceremony sneak peek! Filmed just before the magic began ✨🏰

I filmed this just before the guests arrived for the most gorgeous wedding ceremony at the Banqueting Hall - in the hottest week of the year (decade? century?!)

This room was literally designed to be a room for gatherings and celebration! It’s a Victorian spin on a Noble Hall from the Middle Ages - and it took 15 years to create fact fans…

The calm before the celebration. Just a celebrant taking in the ceremony space! Take me back… I want to do it all over again! I loved creating this ceremony so much too ❤️

The most brilliant couple - so cool, so romantic - congratulations & I can’t wait to relive this when the photos land ❤️🤘

What is Croeso?

My naming ceremony package is called Croeso. Why? Because croeso means welcome! But for me, Croeso is more than that – it’s a proper Welsh welcome - full of warmth (and means you’ll be catching up on all the news!)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Whether you’re introducing a new baby, welcoming an adopted child, blending families, or marking a fresh chapter in life - I am here to help you celebrate it. 🤩

Every icon deserves a grand entrance!

I LOVE naming ceremonies.

Give me the babies, the fairy godparents, the tears, the stories behind the name…!

My Croeso package is all about the people who matter most - and the stories that everyone wants to hear 🥰

A naming ceremony is often the first big gathering held in honour of a child. It’s a chance to welcome them into a family and community and reflect on the hopes, promises and love that surround them! 🎉

New beginnings. Fabulous welcomes. A grand debut. ✨

I create personality-fuelled, modern naming ceremonies - always with a touch of fabulous👸🏻
