Jan Stainforth Celebrant

Lovely ladyMeet Jan last year (2020) for our daughter funeral. Jan did amazing job with it so we ask her to do our wedding blessing ceremony. Jan did amazing job including our daughter into the wedding blessing.Would recommend Jan to anyone for wedding and funerals.Sam and Joe Holder

We had an amazing day and loved working with Jan for our wedding ceremony. Our situation was slightly different, as we'd previously been married but due to restrictions we'd postponed our reception. Jan was great at being able to offer ideas of what we could do, different from a traditional wedding ceremony, as we had done this the previous year. This suited our needs perfectly.Jan really took her time to get to know us and find out information that would be useful for the ceremony, which also made our ceremony very personal to us.Jan was very friendly, yet professional. A number of our guests on the day commented on what a lovely ceremony it was, that they found it very refreshing or a nice twist on a traditional ceremony, which was all thanks to Jan. We really couldn't fault her

Jan was the celebrant for my mum’s funeral last year, she was very professional and compassionate and in her service she captured the true spirit of my mum. At this very sad time, Jan helped us to come to terms with our loss and to celebrate the life of a much loved mum.

Jan took my Mum's funeral and she was absolutely fantastic. She gave her a send off Mum would have been proud of. Jan was very empathetic and sensitive to our grief and helped us to remember the stories that best paid tribute to Mum. I thoroughly recommend her.

Jan helped make our special day a success, she came in last minute as our original celebrant had covid so as you can imagine we were a little stressed. But she picked up the reins straight away and with just a few suggestions from myself and my wife crafted together what most of our guests told us was best hand fasting/ wedding celebration they had ever been too.If you are looking for someone who will work with you and deliver exactly what you want Jan is your lady.Thank you again Jan for all you did.

Jan is wonderful - she takes the utmost care and genuine interest in your loved ones story. Jan was the chosen celebrant for our Mum/Grandma’s funeral and noted down the intricate detail to be able to piece together the life Mum/Grandma created and really put our loved ones at ease. Whilst it is always a difficult meeting to discuss at a time that is so raw, it is also an opportunity to reflect on the fond memories and share them with the family. Thank you Jan!

Jan performed my eldest daughter's civil wedding ceremony at Rise Hall last week. It was the most amazing day helped tremendously by Jan's personal touch.Prior to the event she took the time to get to know the couple, sent them questionnaires, and encouraged them to write their own vows and hopes for the future.The whole service was very personal, perfectly done, and Jan absolutely nailed it. Her delivery, and emphasis on key words, showed professionalism and real care rather than someone just going through their lines.Can't thank Jan enough for her key role in the most fabulous of days.
