Welcome to Neil Patrick Celebrancy, creating meaningful Weddings, Funerals, and Naming Ceremonies with care and compassion, tailored to your unique story.
Creating cherished moments that say “I Do” in a personalised way, bringing your love story to life.
Honouring lives with poignant ceremonies, ensuring every farewell resonates with love and remembrance.
Celebrating your new beginnings with joyous naming ceremonies that honour your child’s unique journey.
When I am entrusted with writing and performing ceremonies for those most treasured of moments, it is both an honour and a privilege. Each and every life story is unique and my uplifting and bespoke ceremonies aim to reflect that.
A life in the performing arts has allowed me to develop story telling skills that help capture the essence of what makes a couple who they are, or what made a loved one as treasured as they were. A specially scripted ceremony, delivered with feeling can resonate with the guests in a way that a series of generic platitudes simply can’t. My goal is to leave all guests with warm feelings, treasured memories and glad hearts.
All ceremonies can be crafted with or without live musical tributes, but what is non-negotiable is that every ceremony will be endowed with just the right levels of humour, solemnity, heart and soul. As a trained actor, I can also cater for those who would like a themed or costumed ceremony.
I’m based in Brentwood, Essex but can all cover all southeastern counties and London or further afield with fees reflective of any additional travel costs. Any questions, please just give me a shout and I’ll help in any way I can.
Best Wishes
Everyone loves wedding. Make the big day all the more special with a unique ceremony lovingly crafted and based solely around you and your story. Celebrant led ceremonies are 100% bespoke. We will have an initial meeting and then in the lead up to the wedding day itself, there will be periodic get togethers to ensure we are still all on the same page and nothing has been missed or left to chance.
Marriage is an institution steeped in history and tradition, but society is finally waking up to the fact that any couple is far more than just a sum of its parts. It is two unique people, becoming one, wonderfully unique couple. You are not an ‘off the peg’ couple, so why settle for an ‘off the peg’ wedding?
Live musical tributes are very much optional but can add an extra dash of glitz to the day and of course, the choice of music is entirely up to you. Live instrumentalists can be booked in addition to live vocals, but additional charges will apply.
Weddings and Renewals – From £850.00
Themed and Character Ceremonies £950.00
Add a unique and unforgettable touch to your special day with a themed wedding celebrant! Whether you’re dreaming of a fairytale romance, a vintage-inspired gathering, a whimsical fantasy, or a pop-culture extravaganza,
I’m here to bring your vision to life. As a themed wedding celebrant, I can dress in costumes that match your chosen theme, creating an immersive and personalised experience for you and your guests. From classic elegance to playful creativity, your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple. Let’s work together to craft a ceremony that is as distinctive and memorable as your love story.
Each and every life lived is a new and unheard story just waiting to be told. Life is never linear, it has it’s share of thrills and spills, love and laughter, triumphs and tragedies.
My funerals, memorials and celebrations of life are devised and delivered with the just the right balance of humour, solemnity and celebration. They are respectful and inclusive and will allow everyone in attendance to feel part of the story, whatever their own personal beliefs.
The live music option could nourish the feelings of love and belonging in a way that words alone seldom can. Personal dedications are of course always warmly welcomed.
Live instrumentalists can be incorporated into the ceremony, but will be subject to an additional fee.
Funerals and Celebrations of Life – From £234.00
The arrival of a new baby is a time of heart bursting pride, an awesome sense of awakening and responsibility and of course some sleepless nights along the way.
Why keep it all to yourself? As with all my ceremonies, my naming’s are built upon a non-religious framework, but cultural, spiritual or religious elements can be incorporated upon request.
Rest assured, they will fully inclusive, engaging and welcoming and a joyous way to introduce your beautiful bundle of joy to the big wide world.
No child will ever suffer from too much love!
Namings – From £250.00
Gill Lothian23 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently lost our husband/dad and, from the first time he came to visit us one evening and all the way from Essex to the Kent/East Sussex border, Neil was nothing other than caring and completely understand the type of eulogy that we wanted. On the day of the funeral he was very professional and conducted the service in exactly the upbeat way that we had hoped which helped make it a day of happy memories. We would have no hesitation in recommending Neil. If he can do such a fantastic job at conducting a funeral, his weddings must be amazing! Thank you Neil chloe Waygood22 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure to meet Neil and have him to support our family at a very difficult time. Neil helped us to put together a great service to remember my Dad, thoughtful, kind, compassionate and at times lighthearted, which is just how Dad would have wanted it. Neil listened so carefully to our stories and wishes for the day and created a lovely ceremony to remember my Dad. Many people commented on the service and some thought Neil was a family friend- a highest compliment. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Neil he truly is a wonderful celebrant. Alan Weatherill20 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have known Neil since he was about seventeen as he was a cricket teammate of mine. You get to know quite a bit about someone playing team sports and Neil was always a polite considerate determined young man. For my wife Janet’s 60th birthday party Neil provided excellent entertainment singing her favourite soul songs and being the DJ. After her passing I had no hesitation in asking Neil to be the celebrant at her funeral. On such a sad day Neil helped greatly to make it a celebration of her life talking with great affection and sincerity about her. Of course he knew her but I’m sure he could do an excellent job even if he did not know the person who has passed away. Neil put a great deal of effort preparing her eulogy and service making very sure it was just as we wanted. Lee Tumbridge14 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were incredibly fortunate to have Niel Patrick as the celebrant for my father’s funeral. From the very start, he was compassionate, professional, and truly dedicated to creating a heartfelt and personal service. He captured my father’s essence beautifully, delivering a eulogy that was both touching and uplifting. His warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care made a difficult day so much more bearable. Niel’s presence brought comfort to our family, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for a celebrant who truly goes above and beyond, Niel is the perfect choice.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
