Jess May was able to create such a beautiful celebration of life ceremony for our Late Grandfather. She perfectly accommodated our request for a service that was sincere but not ‘heavy’, and made an environment that was welcoming and full of genuine warmth and respect. Her ability to attune to the room, and openness to everyone’s different experiences of grief left us feeling like we were in caring and capable hands. I could not imagine a better funeral celebrant to help us say goodbye like this and am infinitely glad we chose Jess instead of not doing the funeral. Would recommend her to everyone.

What a wonderful recommendation Jess May Special Days was When our son died it was more than we could cope with, not only shock but pure grief. Jess was incredible taking all of the difficult parts of the service on her shoulders. She met with us and our sons friends on the beach to chat about our son and get a good understanding of the person he was of. She was in constant contact with us to get our approval every step of the way. She started a What's App group so as to collate all photos and memories. On the funeral day many people said that it was as though she knew our son. I totally recommend Jess she is professional and compassionate We felt safe in her hands.

Jess helped to give our friends the most wonderful wedding day. It was both jubilant and very intimate. She helped share the happy couple's story in a very special way and there were some extra touches catered for, including celebrating the bride's Greek heritage.

We met Jess at an open day for the venue we had booked for our wedding. I honestly didn’t know anything about the role of a celebrant before. We immediately love her full stop.  Jess’ energy and enthusiasm for what she creates with her couples was something catching that we wanted to be part of. It also helped that the venue raved about her, saying that they have had so many celebrants do their venue but Jess was by far their favourite. Jess took the time over 10months to get to know us and our family life.  She put together a service that was so personal to our story but that was filled with warmth and humour.
She helped me put together my vows,  which I was petrified of delivering and on the day I just felt like I permanently had her holding me up. I don’t know if Jess will know truly how grateful we are for everything she created for us on our day. Guest repeatedly said they could feel the love and emotion in the room. If you were wanting a service that’s different, fun and emotive then a celebrant is beautiful choice and there is no better one than our beautiful Jess.

From the moment we met Jess we knew that having a celebrant was the perfect choice for our wedding. But also that it had to be Jess!
The time Jess took to get to know us, to listen to our stories and to understand our lives together, enabled her to put together the most amazing and unique ceremony.  She has so much knowledge and experience of different cultures and traditions that also really helped us bring in things that we would not have thought of by ourselves.
Jess also helped to plan in all aspects of the ceremony, such as readings from family members, timings, music, and really the whole order of service.
Our wedding day was an amazing experience, she absolutely nailed every moment of our ceremony from start to finish, with our guests all laughing and crying together with us.
On the day Jess was there by our sides as a reassuring guide and as our cheerleader, helping ease nerves, making sure we were confident, ready therefore able to enjoy it.
We loved every part of the process with Jess, and I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding who wants to have something unique that truly shared their story.

I worked with Jess on a wedding in Birmingham recently and can say that she delivered a personalised and beautiful ceremony for the couple. Great communication with me and other suppliers to ensure that we all were all able to do our work efficiently and with great knowledge about what was happening and when.  She is a top top celebrant and I hope I get to work with her again in the future!

Jess pulled off yet another wonderfully personal and touchingly insightful celebration for my daughter’s sister in law’s wedding having done exactly that for my own daughter’s wedding five years ago ! Can’t wait for her to celebrate my own wedding next year !!!
Sensitive, colourful and very emphatic Jess always combines humour , love, wisdom and pure joy in her celebrations .
Love her !Xx

I have just attended a memorial service for a deceased friend.  The Celebrant, Jess May, led it with gentle joyfulness as well as with genuine compassion.  She included the contributions of several participants with friendly and warm informality as well as with accuracy and tact.  It was a beautiful and uplifting occasion.
