Weddings

"I had the pleasure of working with Eleanor at Dewsall Court and she was absolutely amazing. She brings such warmth, professionalism and calm energy to the day, while making the ceremony feel deeply personal and beautifully delivered. It’s clear how much care she puts into understanding the couple and telling their story in a way that feels genuine, heartfelt and memorable. Eleanor has a wonderful presence and creates such a special atmosphere - a real talent, and an absolute joy to work alongside. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a celebrant who is thoughtful, elegant and truly exceptional."

"Eleanor was amazing! We knew that we wanted something more personal than the usual registrar route and Eleanor more than delivered. Our ceremony was fun and special to us which was entirely down to Eleanor's hard work and fun energy! She asked all the right questions to both us and our family and friends to ensure the ceremony was unique and tailored - we can't thank her enough to enough for making our day incredible. 10/10 would recommend!"

"Eleanor was the first person we met at the very first wedding fayre we went to. After a wonderful chat we came away from the day sure of only one thing: We need to book the Full Stop Celebrant. Since then, Eleanor really helped to put us at ease when chatting with her about what we wanted from our ceremony and what she needed from us to plan it. Talking with Eleanor was always a joyous and relaxed moment in the ongoing whirlwind of wedding planning. On the day, the ceremony was incredibly well received, with our guests praising Eleanor very highly. We were both extremely happy with how much fun Eleanor injected into the ceremony and how personal it felt. There was laughter, tears and everybody loved it. Most of our guests had never been to a celebrant lead wedding before and said how nice it was for them to feel more involved with the ceremony and our union. Eleanor made it a great way to really share our most special day with our loved ones. Working (and I say that loosely because it's been such a blast) with The Full Stop Celebrant has been one of the most deeply personal things I've ever had to do. That's something that at first I found quite uncomfortable. For those who may feel the same, I would still highly recommend letting Eleanor into your lives and for you to lean into the experience. She very quickly intuited that I was out of my comfort zone and gently guided me through to what in the end became a wonderful moment that I enjoyed with every fibre of my being. Of course I was nervous on my wedding day, but in the end it was perfect, largely down to Eleanor. The Full Stop Celebrant: Go for it, 100% You won't regret it."

"The creme de la creme of celebrants. A ceremonial sorcerer. The main attraction at any wedding. Eleanor was absolutely incredible from the very beginning. Getting to know her has been such a joy and we are lucky to consider her a friend these days. It was gorgeous to meet Eleanor prior to our wedding and take her to our venue. To get to know her in person at such a special place was fabulous. We felt she really "got" what we were envisioning for the day. After meeting her we were sent a big questionnaire. It was a huge undertaking but, it was one of the highlights of the wedding planning process for us. It asked so many thoughtful questions and some silly ones too. We really looked forward to reminiscing together and getting our thoughts down on the document. The ceremony itself? Wow. So personal. So funny. Absolutely unique. So many people have told us it's the best ceremony they've ever seen and they were moved to tears. Some proper stoic people have bawled like babies. That was exactly what we wanted. Crying with laughter and then absolutely sobbing at how much we're in love. Eleanor was fantastic and to have her there for our day was just such a blessing in itself. The way she wove our story in with our friends testamonies was beautiful. So beautiful that family members have asked me for copies of the transcript so they can re-read it. Eleanor, I hope Holly and I can marry every year so we have an excuse to see you. Thank you for everything. I'm rambling but, I just can't adequately put down how special you made our day. Thank you!"

"Eleanor has been absolutely fantastic, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have been our celebrant on the most wonderful day of our lives! From the get go, Eleanor has been responsive, thoughtful, helpful and SO full of enthusiasm. She made us feel really special, and we were so completely sure that the ceremony she would write would reflect us perfectly. She took the time to get to know us, and our stories, and turned all those snippets into the most perfect ceremony we could have asked for. Everyone at our wedding commented on the ceremony and how well it reflected us as a couple. I would reccomend Eleanor to anyone - she is a very special person!"

"I honestly don’t even know where to begin when it comes to describing the amazing woman that is Eleanor Willock. From the very first moment we met her, we knew in our hearts that she was going to be the person we trusted to tell our story. There’s something so beautifully unique about the way Eleanor sees people—she truly listens, observes, and gently pieces together all the little details that make a couple who they are. Over the year leading up to our wedding, we got to know each other in the most natural and joyful way… through chicken burgers, pints at the pub, and long conversations about life’s joys and quirks. She didn’t just prepare a ceremony; she learned who we were, as individuals and as a couple. On our wedding day, Eleanor captured me and my husband’s story with such beauty, humour, and heart that it felt like she held a mirror up to our love. Every single person in that room laughed, cried, and wore the biggest smiles on their faces throughout the ceremony—it was pure magic from start to finish. She managed to express everything we feel for each other in a way that was so personal, so meaningful, and so authentically “us” that we’re still hearing about it from our guests weeks later. One of my favourite parts of our journey with Eleanor is that we were her first couple to choose not to read the ceremony script beforehand. We trusted her 100%, and I am so glad we did. Hearing our story for the first time, right alongside our loved ones, created a moment we will never forget. The energy in that room—the emotion, the love, the joy—was indescribable. It felt like time paused, and everyone was completely wrapped up in the world she created with her storytelling. Eleanor, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You weren’t just our celebrant; you were a calm presence, a creative soul, a cheerleader, and ultimately, a friend. The ceremony you crafted for us is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We will forever be grateful that our paths crossed and that you became such a meaningful part of our journey. If you’ve stumbled across this review while looking for a celebrant, honestly—look no further. Eleanor is your person. She brings warmth, authenticity, and pure magic to everything she does. Choosing her was the best decision we made for our wedding, and she will always hold a special place in our hearts. 🩷 Love from Mr & Mrs Powell"

"Hi Eleanor, thank you for all your hard work with regard to Holly and Henry’s wedding. It was a lovely day and many people said it was the best wedding they had been to as it was so personalised; which your role as celebrant contributed to in a very special way."

"I was hoping to chat to you on the day but I missed you, just wanted to say what an amazing ceremony that was!! It was so personal and was perfect for Andy and Katie!! Thank you"

"We are so grateful to have had Eleanor as our celebrant. From the start she was warm, professional, and took the time to get to know us, creating a truly personalised ceremony that felt so special and unique to us. On the day, she made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable, guiding us through everything with such calmness and kindness. Our guests all commented on how lovely she was and how beautifully the ceremony was delivered, it really set the perfect tone for the rest of the day. Thank you so much, Eleanor, for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and personal. We couldn’t recommend you more highly definitely a 5/5!"

"We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Eleanor as our celebrant at our wedding a couple of weeks ago, from the beginning she took the time to get to know us as a couple and as a result created a ceremony that felt so personal and special, every word was so “us”. On the day I felt so calm and reassured knowing it was Eleanor I would see at the end of the aisle! 🤍 so many of my guests commented on how meaningful and engaging the ceremony was- it truly set the tone of the day, If you’re looking for someone to tell your story in a warm, funny, loving way that you’ll forever remember, Eleanor is your lady. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough!!"

Where to begin with our review of Eleanor?! We could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant to create our wedding ceremony! My husband spotted Eleanor at a wedding fair and knew from the way she was talking to all the couples visiting her that she would be brilliant. In fact she was so popular that he didn't manage to speak with her at the time but just took her card and I'm so glad that he did! We arranged to meet Eleanor for a drink (with Mack the dog of course) just to chat and get to know if she would be the right choice for us. Eleanor talked us through her process of getting to know couples and how she went about writing her brilliantly personalised ceremonies. We came away from that first meeting, our heads buzzing with idea, reminiscing about funny stories and moments from our relationship and booked Eleanor immediately. I loved the fact that Eleanor sent us a handwritten card to confirm the booking, such a lovely individual touch! Eleanor's couples questionnaire and all her conversations with us helped her to write the most amazing, touching and personalised ceremony for us. We had so many wedding guests tell us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended and how brilliant Eleanor was. We could not agree with them more! Eleanor was always responsive when we sent messages, helped us when we had concerns about writing our vows, organised our guests on the day and even lent us her bell tent to camp in! Eleanor clearly really cares about creating the best possible ceremony that reflects who couples are, tells their relationships stories and suits their individual personalities. We could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant to help us celebrate our wedding. Thank you!! x

Eleanor is one of the most amazing people we have ever met, as soon as we had our first Initial call, we knew that Eleanor was absolutely the celebrant for us. She spent so much time getting to know us as a couple & when it came to writing our ceremony we were absolutely blown away. All of our guests keep saying it’s the most personal and wonderful ceremony they have ever been to and that’s all that’s to Eleanor. If you’re looking for someone to create a ceremony filled with love, stories & humour that people will speak about for a lifetime Eleanor is the woman for the job! What a woman and what a ceremony, thank you so much Eleanor!

I had the pleasure of working with Eleanor, The Full Stop Celebrant, at a beautiful wedding at Brympton House in July —and she was absolutely fantastic! Eleanor brought such warmth, calm, and genuine presence to the ceremony. Her delivery was heartfelt and personal, perfectly capturing the couple’s story while keeping everyone engaged throughout. As a photographer, it’s always a joy to work alongside someone who’s not only professional and organised but also brings such a positive energy to the day. I hope to work with her again very soon! Highly recommended to any couple looking for a celebrant who truly cares and creates a meaningful experience.

"In short: Eleanor is an icon and a legend! We personally guarantee you will not regret choosing her as your celebrant!! In long: We feel so glad and lucky that we chose Eleanor to be our celebrant. Not just because of how she made the ceremony so engaging, fun, and personal, but also because of how she really made the effort to get to know us and was super helpful and caring along the journey up to the day. From the first chat we had with Eleanor, we knew we had found someone truly special. She is such a caring person who really makes an effort to get to know you as a couple and wants to do justice to your story. And wow does she succeed! We were actually a little shocked that someone could get to know us on such a personal level so quickly! As well as this, she was constantly available literally night and day to offer advice and support on any queries we had. What was particularly touching was how Eleanor was proactive in finding out if any of our guests had specific needs or considerations that she should be aware of. She wants everyone to have the best experience, and the thoughtfulness was really appreciated. As for the day itself – so many people came up to us after to say how fantastic and personal and fun Eleanor made the ceremony. ‘The celebrant is a legend’ was said multiple times. And we couldn’t agree more!! Eleanor - thank you so much for everything, choosing you was the best decision we made for the day!"

"We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant! From the very beginning (once Eleanor and Carl had put their United/ Liverpool team differences aside), Eleanor was warm, professional, and completely invested in making our ceremony personal and perfect. In the lead-up to the big day we had many a calls from Australia and the time difference was always accommodated. Eleanor helped guide us through the entire process, helped us shape our vows, and made everything feel easy and exciting. On the wedding day, Eleanor brought the energy we needed: calm, reassuring, and full of joy. Her words were heartfelt and meaningful, and she struck the perfect balance between emotion and light-heartedness. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, and so many of our guests told us how special and memorable the ceremony was. We’ll be forever grateful to Eleanor for making our day so unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!"

"Eleanor made our Summer Solstice Wedding the most magical of days! We knew on our first meeting that she was the celebrant for us and boy did she deliver! Our guests could not fault the ceremony they and Roderick and I had the most amazing time! The pace was perfect from laughter to emotional then back to laughter! The Hand fasting ritual was one we would recommend to anyone it was so emotional! “Wedding ceremony of the Century” said one guest.”Best Wedding ever”, “Never been to a Wedding like this before, love love loved it”."

"What can I say about Eleanor. Nothing but fantastic words for sure! Our love story couldn’t have been put together and told to all our friends and family any better than she presented it. With a calm smiling nature about her she filled the room with thoughts and laughter. If we were to do it again I wouldn’t hesitate in a heart beat to be coming back. So well communicated throughout! Thank you! A story we will always remember and hearing it told to us really turns it into our fairy tale. Our happily ever after 🫶🏻"

"I worked with Eleanor in a professional setting and I was honestly blown away by her character, charm and presence. Eleanor is a lovely lady, who is extremely professional, calm, and just genuinely wonderful to be around. If you are considering having a celebrant at your event, I would highly recommend Eleanor and her fantastic services."

"Eleanor brought a lovely energy to the ceremony — bright, friendly, and full of enthusiasm. Her warm and upbeat personality really shone through, and she clearly cares deeply about making each ceremony personal and meaningful for her couples. She has a very lively style which is uplifting and engaging, and she certainly knows how to keep guests smiling. It was a pleasure to work alongside her and to see the care she put into her couple's special moment. If you're looking for a celebrant with lots of personality and a heartfelt approach, Eleanor will definitely bring that spark to your day."

"It was such a pleasure working with Eleanor at Pennard House. Her energy on the day was so warm and uplifting, and she brought a lovely sense of meaning and connection to the shoot. She was a joy to be around and brought such a thoughtful presence to every moment — I’d absolutely recommend her to any couple or creative team."

"The perfect ceremony in every way! We cannot begin to express our gratitude to Eleanor for the incredible love, care, and dedication she brought to our wedding day. From the moment we first met, it was clear how passionate she was about not being your standard celebrant who reads but crafting a ceremony that truly reflected us, our journey, our values, and the love we share. What really set Eleanor apart was the extraordinary effort she made to get to know us on a deeper level. She took the time to speak regularly with us and our closest family and friends, gathering stories, memories, and heartfelt insights that helped her build the most personal and meaningful ceremony we could have ever imagined. She didn’t just write a ceremony, she wove a beautiful narrative that brought our relationship to life in front of everyone we love. Eleanor’s warmth and support throughout the entire process made everything feel so special and calm. She poured her heart into every word, and her presence on the day brought a genuine sense of joy and connection that touched every single person there. There wasn’t a dry eye, her words were powerful, tender, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, not just to marry you, but to truly celebrate your story with heart, depth, and authenticity, then Eleanor is that person. We feel so lucky and honoured to have had her be a part of our day. With all our love and thanks, Olivia and Lee"

"Eleanor made what was a very special service into a very personalised, beautiful and emotional service with the perfect amount of humour and calm to ensure the couple were relaxed and happy without becoming over-emotional. It made all their friends and family feel included in a very memorable and loving experience. Thank you very much for a really wonderful occasion. Julia Russell (mother of the bride)"

"Thanks so much Eleanor, I don't think we could imagined it going any better, the ceremony was perfect. Right down to the bit where I completely forgot my line, looked at the line, immediately forgot it again....and then said the thing I was supposed to say We had so many people coming up to us saying how amazing the whole ceremony was and how 'us' it was too. Anyone looking for a celebrant for their wedding we would both fully recommend Eleanor, she took everything that made our relationship special and distilled it into the perfect ceremony."

"Well, you're just fab, aren't you? I hand on heart believe that we couldn't have found anyone better. You were EVERYTHING we wanted. Funny, kind, understanding, creative! The ceremony was absolutely perfect thanks to you, and we'll make sure everyone knows it!!"

"Eleanor made my son and son in laws wedding a perfect day. She listened to what we all had to say about them and made it into a wonderful experience of laughter, love and joy. We all cried at times but it was in a good way. I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married."

"Where to possibly start with Eleanor other than thank you so much! We first started chatting with Eleanor in summer, and immediately we hit it off, over food, drinks and shared love of music and life. Eleanor has constantly gone above and beyond to ensure that we had the most amazing celebration. Writing such amazing ceremony and helping us to formulate the idea of throwing paper airplanes inside the orangery with messages from our amazing guests. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, 🥰 you will be part of our lives forever (unfortunately for you!)"

"We had a brilliant day thank you and we can’t thank you enough for the ceremony. The number of people who told us it was the best, most personal ceremony and ‘genuine love story’ they’d seen was astonishing. So many people said how brilliant you were and, of all the amazing parts of the day, the ceremony was my favourite. Thank you for putting so much thought and love into it and for being so much fun along the way. We had a fair few people ask us before hand why we got legally married on Monday and I explained but as soon as they realised what you could do instead of a registrar, they absolutely got it! You also did a stellar job of staying calm with a life threatening wasp harassing you! Professionalism at its finest Xxx"

Wow, where to start?! Eleanor is just fantastic. We clicked with her (and Mack) instantly and knew that she was going to be the person who would marry us. What makes Eleanor special is that she truly cares so much about you as a couple and the story behind you. We loved sharing our moments with her and trusted her implicitly. This enables her to create a narrative that is totally unique and captures your vibe and chemistry as a couple and this is what everyone commented on at our Wedding. They all said they had never sat through a wedding ceremony and enjoyed it as much as they did ours, it was hilarious, emotional, and so completely different that it had everyone (including us) on their toes from start to finish and her delivery was superb. Eleanor is a wonderful human with exceptional communication skills and a true passion for love and commitment and we genuinely consider her (and Mack) as our friends. If you are looking for someone who will make your Wedding Day (or any special event) that bit more special and that bit more personalised to have all your guests saying ‘Wow, what a ceremony!’ then choose her. We are already planning the ‘naming ceremony’ of our not even conceived child to be able to have Eleanor back in our lives! Thank you so much, you really made our Wedding perfect.

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.

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!

"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."

"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."

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

"You were incredible and we couldn't have put together something so beautiful without you, thank you for everything'

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. Mr and Mrs Halstead x

I just wanted to say, what a fabulous wedding on Saturday, and what an amazing job you did. I would definitely recommend you.

"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"

"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"

"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"

"Eleanor led an absolutely brilliant ceremony. She made the the afternoon incredibly memorable and special."

"I really can’t imagine having done it without her. A dream to work with and truly was integral to the success of the day. Thank you Eleanor!
