Independent Celebrant Eleanor Willock About Me

“People will be talking about our service for years…
what an absolute legend Eleanor is”

Your Somerset Celebrant

I’m Eleanor Willock, I’m a Somerset based wedding celebrant. I live with a husband, two children, a big friendly Labrador, and a lot of books.

I became an celebrant so that I can help people get the joy they deserve out of the stages of life we all go through. Marriages, vow renewals, naming days and ceremonies that gather people together to celebrate you are my thing!

Although I am based in Somerset I do love to travel, so whether you are looking for a celebrant in Bristol, Wells, Taunton, Bath or beyond into Devon, Gloucestershire,Herefordshire, Wiltshire or Wales, get in touch. I would love to hear about your big day and how I can be part of it.

Why Full Stop Celebrant?

The Full Stop Celebrant name is because I love literature and the spoken (or sung) word in all forms. As my life has progressed I’ve become more and more comfortable with myself. I’m also more passionate about equality, freedom of choice and compassion for others.

My sense of humour is rarely concealed. You can laugh with me or at me, as long as you laugh, I’m happy. The chances are you might hear me, probably laughing, before you see me. I ask questions. I’m chatty. I love jokes and stories.

I’ve also put together a great guide for writing your wedding vows! Be sure to check out my Vow Vault.

Things I like, in no particular order: spicy margaritas, ice-cold Aperol Spritz, Portugal, New York (used to live there), buying trainers, geraniums, growing veg, music (too varied to name), days in the pub, very strong coffee, children’s books, slam poetry, houseplants, puns, group chats, woodlands, neroli, beards, band tees, London in the Summer, singing, making people laugh, Roman history, Star Wars, the smell of a florists, fancy hotel bars, denim jackets, solo cinema trips, cheese with honey.

"I can’t imagine having anyone else performing our wedding other than Eleanor. We booked her about 10 months out from our wedding date and from the very first 30 minute zoom call we knew we’d found the right person to marry us. Eleanor is so kind and warm and has an infectious enthusiasm for whatever your love story is. Her main priority throughout the whole process is delivering you your perfect wedding and that’s exactly what she does. Working with Eleanor isn’t like working with a wedding supplier it’s like gaining a new best friend and an extra, super experienced, bridal party member. If you need a drama llama (someone to keep your day drama free) she’s your woman. Need help crafting the perfect timings for your aisle music she’s on hand. Need that extra confidence boost to help you write and deliver personal vows she’s got you. The WhatsApp group was going and no question was too big or small for her to help with. Days later our friends and family are still quoting bits of our ceremony back to us. They couldn’t believe Eleanor had got to know us so well and then delivered a ceremony that captured us so perfectly as a couple. Working with Eleanor will be the best wedding decision you make. We literally can’t thank her enough."

"Yesterday was absolutely magical and we loved every second. We are so grateful for finding you to do our ceremony, it was incredible! Everything you wrote for us was perfect and all the little things you did to help it run smoothly were so appreciated, too. You are so much more than a celebrant, Eleanor, thank you so much"

"Huge thank you for the most wonderful ceremony! You cannot believe how many people came up to us to say how wonderful and personalised it was, very much down to you"

"From our first call with Eleanor through the the ceremony, and even on to our messages after - she was absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't have believed between meeting us once, a couple of video calls and a short questionnaire that someone would be able to get "us" quite so well if she hadn't managed to do just that! The ceremony was perfect, her attention to detail was fantastic and everything went as smoothly as it could (apart from us skipping a bit, sorry!). She helped us write vows, and the entire day was brilliant. Thank you Eleanor - it wouldn't have been the same without you."

"Eleanor's natural vibrance and humility put us at ease at once and she fit in perfectly with us and our guests. We just gelled. We couldn't have asked for a better woman for the job and would highly recommend her to everyone"

Fantastic Celebrant!

When we first met Eleanor we knew that she would be perfect for our wedding, throughout the planning she got in touch regularly and pulled together an amazing ceremony filled with personal touches. Whenever we had a question or needed help with something (ie. vows) Eleanor was on hand to guide us. We both highly recommend Eleanor!

Oh, Eleanor, what a ceremony you gave us! Every single person said how incredible it was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was everything we wanted and more.

The entire process working with Eleanor was a joy - Eleanor curated the most special, hilarious and warm ceremony for us. Our guests also absolutely loved it, many asking if Eleanor was a on old friend. This is testament to Eleanor's ability to really listen and get to know couples and their story, and to bring things to life in the wedding ceremony. My husband and I cannot recommend Eleanor enough.

We absolutely loved having Eleanor as our celebrant. She made our day so special. Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. She really took in every detail, the script, the vow booklets, the video calls and everything was just spot on. Eleanor is the loveliest person with such a great personality, we have had non-stop laughs and giggles. She is more than just a celebrant, she is a friend and supports you throughout your wedding journey. We will forever be thankful for her coming up to Yorkshire to spend our day with us.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Eleanor this year and I have to say that out of all the celebrants I've worked with, Eleanor made it a breeze. For us suppliers we all have a job to do and it's critical that we can all do what we need to do without stepping on each other's toes and Eleanor was very considerate from start to finish. If you are consider Eleanor as your celebrant and want someone who will help run your ceremony smoothly for not just your guests but also the suppliers you have hired to capture your wedding day, then I cannot recommend her enough. - Mike - JustbyMichael
