The Yorkshire Celebrant
Hi, my name is Sue Havenhand and I am a five star celebrant (check out my reviews ) that will make your Yorkshire ceremony fabulous. Why? Because I have a unique skill set of “on point” communication, empathy, writing and public speaking. And that is what a celebrant needs in her tool kit, right there.
Whether you are planning your Wedding, wanting to celebrate life with a Funeral, welcoming someone new into your family through a Naming ceremony or hoping to Renew your Vows, you deserve the best.
There’s no second chance to get it right.
I will listen to your story, turn it into the written word and flawlessly deliver it at your ceremony.
No one ever regretted booking quality.
For your peace of mind, I am trained to a high standard with the International College of Professional Celebrants and carry Public Liability and Indemnity Insurance, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. I also hold the NOCN Level 3 Certificate in Civil Celebrancy in the UK.
Fully committed to equality and diversity, I am an LGBTQ+ friendly celebrant – everyone’s story is safe in my hands.
Don’t accept anything less than you deserve, it’s your big day, let’s do it!!!

How It Works
A Little Bit About Myself
For the vast majority of my working life I have been a professional singer, mostly on the island of Tenerife, where I lived for twenty years. After returning to the UK in 2018, I, along with my husband Tony and son Alfie, ran a pub near Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Like many people, Covid 19 lockdowns changed our perceptions and life expectations and we began to look at just how many hours we were working. I was ready for yet another career change.
Suddenly losing my dear father, Kenn, in June 2020 meant us using the services of a celebrant, as we wanted a non religious service. I realised at that moment that I had this skill set already, from my years of singing to the public, my people skills and my love of writing. It seemed too obvious to ignore so I retrained as a civil celebrant early in 2021 with the International College of Professional Celebrants (ICPC), and am loving my new life.
I am very lucky to have two bases, one in the stunning Yorkshire Dales near Skipton, and the other in Pontefract West Yorkshire. This means I can easily cover Yorkshire and beyond if and when needed.
