North East based Celebrant
Hello, I’m Alex Connolly, a celebrant from Newcastle upon Tyne. I’ve been guest speaking at festivals and delivering presentations in front of a crowd for years. Lets meet up for a coffee to chat about your day!
Relaxed, simple ceremonies
Thank you!
About Alex
In my day to day life, I work in animation for children’s TV, when i’m not making TV shows i’m giving lectures and talks about animation at festivals across the country.
Before that, I was a jeweller at Reid and Sons in Newcastle, and have fond memories of chatting about engagement rings over a cup of tea with my customers!
I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne with my husband and two young daughters.
Your Ceremony
My animation title is storyboard artist, meaning I'm pretty good at researching and building a story!
Over a coffee, i’ll get to know you both, what you’d like from your ceremony and the tone you’d like the day to take, your sense of humour, any family readings, flower girls, poetry (We had ‘On the Ning Nang Nong by Spike Milligan for our wedding ceremony which had everyone in hysterics) and any other special little bits you’d like.
There will be time for revisions, all approved by yourselves.
If you’d like a hand-fasting ceremony so you can officially ‘Tie the knot’ in front of family and friends, that’s something I can do for you.
