Heartfelt Ceremonies for Every Chapter
Bringing Your Moments to Life
From first hellos to final goodbyes, as a Celebrant I create bespoke, meaningful celebrations crafted with care, warmth, and your unique story at their heart.
A little about me…
I’m Rachel Bellon, an independent Celebrant with a heartfelt approach and over 17 years of experience in weddings and events, having managed events in some of London’s most iconic venues, from royal palaces to historic landmarks.
Before working in events, I travelled the world as a professional dancer, sailing the seven seas, exploring new cultures, and making lifelong friends along the way. A Yorkshire girl at heart, I now live in Berkshire with my South African husband and our two gorgeous girls. Life’s patchwork of stories, traditions and connections has always fascinated me, and I’ve come to see how much those threads shape the way we mark our most important moments.
Whether you're planning a wedding, honouring a loved one, celebrating a milestone, or welcoming new life, I’m here to guide you with warmth, empathy, and a steady hand, crafting a ceremony that feels genuine, grounded, and most importantly, true to you.
Marking Life’s Moments
Honouring love, loss and everything in between with quiet confidence, kindness, and care
Weddings
I bring both heart and calm professionalism to every celebration.
I’ll take the time to really get to know you - what matters to you most, what makes your relationship tick, what you hope this day will feel like. Whether you're planning something grand or intimate, traditional or completely your own, I’ll craft a ceremony that reflects your love, values and personalities.
Together, we’ll shape a ceremony that feels natural and true to you both, where joy comes easily, emotions are welcome, and the focus is exactly where it should be: on celebrating your love.
Funerals
Saying goodbye is never easy, but it can be meaningful, honest, and filled with love.
As your celebrant, I’ll gently guide you through the process, holding space for memories, grief, and gratitude. I’ll take the time to really listen about the person you're honouring, their story, what they meant to you, their family and friends, and together, we’ll create a ceremony that truly reflects them.
Whether it's a quiet, simple farewell or a rich, full celebration of life, I’ll be there with sensitivity and care, helping you shape something personal and heartfelt.
Celebrations
Some moments in life deserve to be marked with joy and a sense of occasion - whether you're welcoming a new baby, reaffirming your love in a vow renewal, or simply taking time to honour a special milestone.
These ceremonies are a chance to gather your favourite people and celebrate a chapter in your life. Together, we’ll find the words, the tone, and ceremony that feels right for you.
With warmth, creativity and lots of heart, I’ll guide and help you celebrate in a way that feels natural, inclusive, and completely your own.
