Hello and bonjour…

My name’s Gaynor McKernan and I’m an English-speaking Celebrant here in south west 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 which 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.

“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a massive THANK YOU for the quite simply brilliant job you did. The ceremony was just perfect; so special and it was lovely hearing everyone’s kind words and wishes. You wove it all together beautifully 🙂 We had so many comments afterwards from guests about how amazing the ceremony was, so natural and personal, the best they had heard at a wedding. Some people even thought you were an old family friend (although it sort of does feel that way now, ha!).

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
