I am a local Lyme Regis celebrant, crafting creative and meaningful wedding and funeral ceremonies for my community and beyond. Yet have you ever wondered why the name of my modern celebrant business is ‘Juliette by the Sea? It might seem like an odd choice at first glance insinuating that I only work by the sea! What does the sea have to do with being a celebrant? In this blog, I’m going to explain the meaning and inspiration behind this name, and why it perfectly encapsulates my philosophy and approach as a celebrant.
As a Local Lyme Regis Celebrant why do I choose to identify myself as by the sea?
The first question many people ask me is why I chose to associate myself with the sea. The answer is simple yet profound. In the UK, where I’m based, nowhere is more than 70 miles from the sea. This means the sea is a common, unifying factor for all of us. It’s a part of our identity, and it’s a part of our lives, whether we live by the coast or inland. And just like the sea, I am available to be your celebrant anywhere in the UK.
Moreover, I happen to live by the sea, so it felt natural to incorporate this aspect of my life into my business. It was a choice between ‘Juliette by a field’, ‘Juliette by a road’, or simply ‘Juliette Williams – celebrant’. But ‘Juliette by the Sea’ felt just right. It had a certain charm and an intriguing ring to it that the other options lacked.
The Sea and Emotions – my thoughts as a local Lyme Regis Celebrant
But the connection between my business and the sea goes deeper than just geography. The sea, just like life, is full of emotions. It can be calm and peaceful one moment, and turbulent and wild the next. It can evoke feelings of joy, tranquillity, fear, and awe, all at the same time. And just like the sea, your wedding ceremony will be a whirlwind of emotions.
As your celebrant A little bit about me , I am there to navigate these emotional waters with you, to guide and support you as you embark on this exciting journey. I aim to create ceremonies that reflect your unique love story, that resonate with your personal values, and that celebrate your union in the most authentic way possible.
The Sea as a Symbol of Inclusivity
The sea is also a symbol of inclusivity and acceptance for me. It doesn’t recognise gender-specific love, ageism, or any form of disability bias. And neither do I. As a celebrant, I am committed to creating inclusive ceremonies that honour and respect all forms of love.
The sea doesn’t judge you or make you feel uncomfortable, and neither do I. My role as a celebrant is not to impose my own beliefs or opinions, but to facilitate a space where you feel comfortable expressing your love and commitment to each other in your own unique way.
The sea is full of energy, but also full of calm. So am I. I bring a vibrant energy to every ceremony I conduct, but I also strive to create a calm and relaxed environment where you can truly enjoy your special day.
