At the end of the 2024 wedding season, I will be retiring. I do still have some dates available for next year so please get in touch and hopefully, I’ll be free for your wedding day.

Hello/bonjour…

My name’s Gaynor McKernan and I’m an English-speaking Celebrant here in southwest France. I’ve the amazing job of conducting wedding ceremonies for lovely couples in brilliant venues all over France. Yep, I really am that lucky!

If you’re looking for a wedding ceremony that is romantic, relaxed, warm, and a bit squishy with a magical sprinkling of humour, then I’m the celebrant for you. Get in touch (gaynor@celebrantfrance.com) so we can arrange a chat that lets us see if we’re a match and you can ask any questions you have.

In French they don’t say ‘I’m missing you’, they say ‘tu me manques’, which means you are missing from me. And that’s love.

“It’s very difficult to put into words the fantastic wedding I attended of my niece and her husband on Saturday 29th June in a Chateau where Gaynor was the celebrant.

The service from start to finish was absolutely fabulous and uplifting. Gaynor is so inspirational and everyone was blown away by her refreshing outlook. I highly recommend Gaynor to anyone getting married in this beautiful part of the world. Trust me you will not be disappointed.” 2019

English-speaking Celebrant in France

‘There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved” George Sand.

I really like people, so for me it’s great to hear your story and a delight to get to know you; this also allows me to write a beautifully personal ceremony.

People often ask me how I’m related to the family because my delivery is genuinely warm and sincere. As far as I’m concerned you are family, which means I’ll always go that extra mile to make your wedding ceremony perfect.

Beautiful ceremonies……. with a sprinkling of humour
