Steve Swain Independent Civil Celebrant

Steve Swain Independent Civil Celebrant I am an independent civil celebrant. I have lived in Colchester for about 15 years and l am married to my lovely wife Becky. We were married in Prague in 2017.

I provide ceremonial services for the following:
Weddings
Funerals
Naming Ceremonies
Vow Renewals
Civil Partnerships
Commitment Ceremonies I have spent pretty much all of my working life in customer service roles and have loved every minute. I have recently taken early retirement with a view to starting my own business as a Celebrant. I studied with The Regency Academy for my Celebrant Diploma, at

the end of which l achieved a distinction. In addition to this l obtained a City & Guilds accredited programme certificate as a Successful Civil Celebrant. I am now able to conduct wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, civil partnerships and commitment ceremonies together with naming ceremonies for children and funeral services. Previously l worked in the funeral industry as a Funeral Arranger. During this time l obtained the experience to help, guide, and reassure, families through their grief as much as possible at a time of great loss and sadness. You will find me to have a great deal of empathy but at the same time l have a great sense of humour, but, enough about me. This website is here to help you find what you are looking for. You will make your mind up about me when you meet me. No sugar in my tea. Thank you.

As we draw a close to 2022, it's time to take stock of the year. For me, when I receive personal messages like this it really means so much, and reminds me what a great celebrant business I am building up.

Wow, while flicking through my local newspaper this week, I couldn't believe it when I saw myself featured.

It feels great to read a sum-up of my business in the local press, particularly at this time of year, and makes me realise how far I have come.

Thanks to Liam Maynard at the Colchester Gazette

At this time of year, some of you may be considering having a winter wedding. There are many good reasons to have your wedding in the colder months. You can take advantage of beautiful Christmas decorations, and have a winter wonderland theme with white lights and fake snow!

Another advantage is that it can be very romantic with a snow-covered landscape, and imagine a big roaring cozy fireside setting.

Whatever your reasons for choosing a winter wedding I would be delighted to be your celebrant - why not get in touch today.

A naming ceremony is a wonderful way to welcome a new baby into the world, and a celebrant can help to create a special and unique occasion for your family.

They can also work with you to create a ceremony that celebrates all of the important people in your child's life, from parents and grandparents, to godparents and friends.

If you choose me as your celebrant I will also provide guidance on the legal aspects of a naming ceremony, and can work with you to create a customised certificate for your child. This certificate will be a treasured keepsake that commemorates this special day in your child's life.

Naturally, this can be a really nervous time but with a little bit of preparation beforehand, you can (hopefully) ensure things go smoothly.

Why not check out this handy little guide I found - and good luck!

Is all this wet weather making you fret about your wedding day?

No need to worry, why not make a feature out of using wedding umbrellas - there are so many different designs and colours, you can make it a fun part of the day.

When you choose me as a celebrant, you also have someone you can trust to guide and help you prepare for the big day.
