Sue Burton - Award-winning Celebrant & Wedding Stylist
Weddings really are my passion!
With 15 years’ previous experience as a Registrar, Sue brings a unique blend of skills to her celebrant services. She specialises in delivering heartfelt ceremonies but also provides expertise in arranging the legal aspects of your marriage. From vows to paperwork, you're in capable hands!
Sue is honoured to be a recipient of the 2025 ‘Hitched’ Wedding Award for Celebrants - a recognition based entirely on outstanding reviews from couples she’s had the pleasure of working with and testament to her experience and passion. She is also a proud member of the Association of Independent Celebrants (AOIC), a well-regarded organisation representing celebrants throughout the UK and overseas. These accolades reflect Sue’s genuine commitment to creating bespoke, heartfelt ceremonies delivered with care, integrity, and excellence.
Sue provides more than just a beautifully delivered ceremony - she’s also your personal wedding stylist, dedicated to helping you look and feel your absolute best. From guidance on posture, positioning, and movement during key moments throughout the ceremony, to mastering those picture-perfect poses (including the iconic 'dip-kiss' as you make your exit!), Sue ensures every detail flows gracefully. With her eye for style, she’ll help create a cohesive, polished look for your day - a personal touch couples truly treasure.
Sue takes time to truly get to know you both well before the big day, so when your wedding arrives, you're not greeted by a stranger - but by a familiar, friendly face. This personal connection brings a sense of ease and reassurance, helping you feel more relaxed, confident, and able to fully enjoy every moment of your ceremony. From your first conversation to the final moments of your ceremony, Sue will be there to ensure everything flows seamlessly. She’ll craft a celebration that truly reflects YOU - thoughtful, heartfelt, and full of personality. Your wedding day deserves the perfect balance of elegance and warmth. Sue brings both - with a calm, reassuring presence and a genuine passion for making your ceremony truly memorable for you and your guests.
Whether you're saying "I do" at a typical wedding venue or somewhere completely unique, Sue is an experienced event host (complete with her own PA system if necessary!). She will liaise with your chosen suppliers and, if needed, can offer trusted recommendations to help elevate your day and bring your vision to life. See Wedding Specialists
Rest assured, Sue's own attire is chosen with your ceremony's overall look and style in mind, making sure she complements your day beautifully. When Sue stands at the top of the aisle, it's essential she considers what to wear. After all, she might appear on some of your cherished photos! Drawing on over 30 years' experience in Colour & Style Analysis Image Consultancy she will carefully select her own outfit influenced by various factors, including your venue, colour scheme, and the season in which your wedding takes place. As your Celebrant, her role is to be the 'supporting act,' not the main attraction, so her outfit will complement the overall colour scheme rather than clash or distract. Sue's primary focus is to deliver an elegant and stylish ceremony, keeping the attention where it belongs — on YOU! Whether you're planning a daytime or evening ceremony, or a themed celebration like a Gatsby or Halloween-inspired event, Sue is more than willing to dress accordingly to match the theme – within reason, of course! It's your special day, so she's happy to make it even more special.
Choosing the right Celebrant is all about connection and Sue offers a relaxed, no pressure chat – in person or over Zoom – so you can really get to know each other before reaching a decision. No obligations, just a friendly conversation. Or meet Sue in person at a forthcoming WEDDING SHOWCASE.
As a stylist & image consultant, Sue is also able to help create a harmonious look for your special day. See Sue's 'other role' HERE Sometimes there's a crossover of both roles - seeing the wedding through from beginning to end! Read newspaper feature HERE.
