Wedding Celebrant Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Harrison
Sonia was the most wonderful celebrant for our wedding and we honestly couldn’t have imagined our ceremony without her. From the very beginning she made everything feel warm, relaxed and completely “us”, which was exactly what we had hoped for.
We feel that weddings can sometimes miss that personal touch and slip into something quite formal, so it was really important to us that our ceremony felt genuine and individual. Sonia took the time to really get to know us as a couple, asking thoughtful questions and listening carefully so she could tell our story in a way that felt authentic and heartfelt. The result was a ceremony that reflected our personalities and relationship perfectly, with so many lovely details woven through.
From our first conversation, Sonia was so warm, friendly and easy to get along with that we instantly felt in safe hands. She struck the perfect balance between professional and relaxed, guiding us through the process while making everything feel effortless and calm. On the day itself, she created such a comfortable atmosphere that we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment.
Our ceremony was everything we wanted: personal, entertaining and deeply heartfelt. There was plenty of laughter as well as emotional moments, and so many of our guests commented on how special and unique it felt. It never felt like a “standard” script; it felt like it had been written just for us, which is exactly what we had hoped for.
If you are looking for a celebrant who will truly capture the essence of you as a couple and create a ceremony that feels meaningful, memorable and full of heart, Sonia is the perfect person for the job. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple who wants a ceremony that tells their story and leaves their guests talking about it long after the day itself.

We had the most wonderful experience with Sonia Woodroffe, East Sussex Celebrant, who officiated our wedding ceremony at Buxted Park Hotel in Uckfield, East Sussex. From start to finish, Sonia was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive, creating a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful.
Sonia took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a bespoke wedding ceremony that perfectly suited both the beautiful setting of Buxted Park Hotel and our story. The ceremony was heartfelt, engaging, and beautifully delivered, many of our guests commented on how moving and memorable it was.
If you are looking for a wedding celebrant in East Sussex, especially for a venue like Buxted Park Hotel, we cannot recommend Sonia Woodroffe highly enough. Her calm presence, attention to detail, and passion for what she does made our day extra special.
Thank you, Sonia, for giving us such an unforgettable wedding ceremony. 💕
