Information For Anna Bowen Celebrant

I’m Anna and I’m a UKSOC qualified Wedding and Family Celebrant based in Weymouth. I am all about the power that words hold, and how I can use them to create unforgettable memories on your special day.


MORE ABOUT ME

I live in the beautiful county of Dorset, and I love living next to the sea and the calmness and serenity it brings to my very busy life. A very active person, I’m always on the go whether it be working, walking my dog, organising my volunteers’ group, or keeping fit.

I love to help others – for the last 5 years I have organised a volunteer dog walking group, on Christmas day I always spend my day delivering meals to elderly people, and I have far too many rescue pets!

In October 2023 I was received an award for “Dorset Volunteer of the Year” which was just wonderful.

My biggest passion is cooking, and I’ll feed anyone who will eat my food! With an Italian heritage, cooking relaxes me, and I am ever the experimental cook.

Back in the 90’s I studied at the London College of Music wish aspirations of being a famous rock star! However, the entrepreneurial side of me always kept me grounded and I am also a qualified accountant having predominately worked in a senior finance roles in education and training my entire career. For a day job, I now work part time for a small Cancer Charity, which I absolutely love.

Not your usual accountant, I am a very creative person, and I love to bring this into the ceremonies I lead. I also have a great sense of humour, a passion for saving the planet, and I truly believe in equality and diversity in all aspects of life.


HOW I CAN HELP YOU

There are many occasions in our life which we want to celebrate with family and friends, and I can provide you with a unique ceremony that reflects you as a couple and your journey together.

My role as a celebrant is to make your day stress free, so you can enjoy your special day together whether it be for your wedding, renewing your vows, a naming ceremony, or remembering a very special departed furry friend at a pet memorial.

You choose your venue, guests, food and theme, and choose me as your celebrant to make your perfect day happen.

Working with you I will ensure that your ceremony is bespoke and unique and one that you and your guests will cherish in your memories and hearts forever.

Your ceremony will have sentiment, reflect your story together, your personalities and style, be engaging, and include a bit of humour and whatever else you wish for. Of course, that includes the Dr Who themed ceremony I produced recently for a wonderful couple!

I will help make the whole process stress-free for you. I am always happy to suggest readings, poems, music and to give you ideas on how to include other members of the family. Yes – you can have your little ones dress up as security guards, walk up the aisle to “Bad Boys” carrying your wedding rings in a briefcase! After all, what could go wrong?!

On the day, you don’t have to panic. I will hold the whole ceremony together, even if the unexpected happens. That’s what I do, that’s my role as your celebrant. “Keep Calm and Carry On – your Celebrant is in control”!

If you are interested in exploring a future celebration with me, then it would be wonderful to hear from you - we will just have an informal chat to begin with, and you can gauge if I’m the right person for your special day.

Last minute wedding
We contacted Anna with just a week's notice when the Celebrant we had booked let us down. All I can say is thank goodness she did let us down, because Anna was simply great. Albeit she was working away 3 days of the 1 week we had, she was so organised and calm, she was more than happy work fit us in and produce a really beautiful ceremony for us. How she did it I'll never know, and we are so very thankful. x

Amazing LGBT Friendly Celebrant
Anna was truly amazing, so organised and friendly - she really went above and beyond and included all the things we wanted and some humour! She embraced our LGBT flair into the ceremony, just as we wanted. It was full of happiness, romance, emotion and humour.

She really made our day feel so special and we can't thank her enough for her prompt professionalism and heartfelt delivery. Thank you Anna!

High Recommended
I can highly recommend Anna as your celebrant. She wrote and led our ceremony and it was more than we could have ever wished for. How she put the words together from just one meeting with us was astonishing! It had the right amount of romance, not too much (we didn't want that), told the story of our journey together, and had some really lovely poems.

Not everything went right on the day - you cannot rely on children to actually bring rings up the aisle, but Anna was totally in control, didn't panic, and carried on and improvised. Nobody was any the wiser. She was truly amazing.

Thank you so much Anna x

Brilliant!
We had no idea what to expect from a celebrant meeting, nor did we know how stress free the whole process was going to be.

Thank you Anna - you made it a very personalised ceremony, all we could have wished for.

Professional, organised, great communication
Sincere, professional and trustworthy is
exactly what Anna delivered. She made the effort to understand what we wanted and wrote a beautiful, sincere service that totally reflected our journey.

Our guests all commented on how personal, sincere, touching and funny our service was. Anna had a total understanding of the proceedings from the moment she arrived to the moment she left.

Made us feel totally at ease
Anna made us feel so at ease in our first meeting, making us feel no pressure to use her as our celebrant.

Once we decided to use her, we met up in person so she could craft the perfect script from the stories we told her. We then received a draft of our ceremony by email, and we had a ZOOM catch up (purely because I was too unwell for face 2 face meeting) to go through alternations we wanted made.

Throughout the process she made alot of suggestions we hadn't thought about, which was really helpful.

She is very kind, approachable, personable, funny. She made our ceremony perfect.

Excellent Celebrant
Anna worked with us recently and our ceremony turned out to be everything we hoped it would be and more. The words she said made the whole thing just the best day and she had lots of ideas of how to involve other members of the family (which we would never have thought of). Great service, lovely lady, best celebrant!
