Celebrating Life’s Most Meaningful Moments

Explore ceremonies

  • The radio and the funeral story

  • A celebrant listens deeply to your story and helps you shape a ceremony that truly reflects who you are.

    Think of a celebrant as both your storyteller and guide — someone who takes the time to understand what matters most to you and helps bring it to life through words, rituals, and heartfelt moments.

    Whether it’s a wedding, vow renewal, baby naming, or farewell, each ceremony is created with care, warmth, and meaning.

    Celebrancy is about celebrating life’s milestones — honouring love, new beginnings, and the beauty of a life well lived. There are no templates or rules — just your story, your values, and your voice.

  • I’ve got your back! Together, we’ll craft words, vows, and moments that feel genuine and personal. Whether you wish to honor tradition or create something entirely your own, I’ll guide you in choosing meaningful music, readings, rituals, and blessings that bring your story to life.

    A celebrant is here to make sure that whatever you’re celebrating — love, family, or remembrance — your ceremony feels authentic, heartfelt, and truly yours.

    Have more questions? I got you covered.

  • I’m more than a celebrant — I’m your guide and coach.

    As a professionally trained celebrant with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy and a certified Resilience Coach, I bring warmth, energy, and calm professionalism to every ceremony. My role is to help you tell your story — creating a ceremony that feels authentically you and runs seamlessly from start to finish.

    Whether you’re stuck writing your vows, unsure where to begin, or navigating tricky family dynamics, I’ll support you through it all with empathy and gentle guidance. My background in coaching helps couples handle those emotional or stressful moments with clarity and confidence.

    The result? A heart-led celebration filled with laughter, emotion, and lasting memories — thoughtfully crafted just for you.

  • I specialize in destination ceremonies across Spain and the United Kingdom, including Barcelona, Girona, Madrid, Tarragona, Valencia, and Alicante.

    From intimate elopements to refined outdoor celebrations, I create bespoke ceremonies that capture the essence of your journey together.

  • I speak English & Conversational Spanish

  • Need someone to keep the energy flowing after your ceremony? I can even MC your wedding celebrations.

    I also offer personalised ceremonies for baby namings, vow renewals, and farewells, along with coaching and holistic support beyond your wedding day.

  • "You could really see the bond that you had made with the newlyweds, and it was lovely that you had taken the time to really get to know them."

    “It was so clear to see and feel how invested you were in them. It was also lovely to meet and chat with you at the reception – you seemed to radiate love and warmth A magical celebration all round I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a celebrant. Thank you so much.

    — Georgia

  • "So many of our guests told us it was the best ceremony they’d ever been to, which meant the world to us."

    “We can sometimes find ceremonies a bit stuffy or overly formal, but Amanda struck the perfect balance. It was relaxed and put everyone at ease, but also incredibly heartfelt and poignant. She also continued hosting throughout the day – introducing speeches, guiding everyone to dinner, which really helped the whole day flow smoothly.”

    — Henry Bannister-Ward

  • "We were blown away by the graceful memorial service that you organised."

    "I have been struggling for words all day, but I just want to let you know that we were blown away by the graceful memorial service that you organised. Every word, every song, every detail touched our hearts. Thank you so much.

  • "Thank you for giving our brother one awesome farewell."

    "Thank you for giving our brother one awesome farewell, he’d be smiling down this morning, sending everyone so much love from the depths of his beautiful heart."

  • "She was instrumental in helping us craft our wedding vows, guiding us with confidence so we could share our story with our guests."

    We were fortunate to have Amanda marry us at La Baronia in Barcelona, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant. From the moment we began planning, Amanda was deeply involved, taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. She was instrumental in helping us craft our wedding vows, guiding us with confidence so we could share our story with our guests.

    — Jack Robertson

  • "...for anyone who wants a true honouring of their loved one at their funeral, while they themselves feel held and nurtured in their grief."

    I have attended many funerals in my life, but none like the one Amanda officiated for Paula. The combination of her ability to acknowledge everyone’s grief, while being able to masterfully and sensitively remind us all of the cycle of life and the inevitability of death with such love and compassion, was incredibly moving. It was personalised, kind, loving, gentle, and everyone in the room felt held. I would highly recommend Amanda O’Shea for anyone who wants a true honouring of their loved one at their funeral, while they themselves feel held and nurtured in their grief.
