About Us
About Laura Simpson
Hello, I’m Laura Simpson — the independent celebrant who runs Ravenswood Ceremonies. I'm devoted to crafting ceremonies that feel deeply personal, beautifully meaningful, and entirely you.
Life is full of extraordinary moments — the joyful, the tender, the transformative. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, welcoming a new life, honouring a loved one, or marking an important milestone, your story deserves to be told with care, warmth, and authenticity.
That’s where I come in.
My Approach
I believe no two lives are the same — so no two ceremonies should be either.
From our very first conversation, I take time to truly listen. I want to understand your journey, your values, your personality, and the little details that make your story unique. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and memorable for everyone present.
My style is warm, inclusive, and thoughtfully crafted — blending sincerity with moments of lightness where it feels right. Whether you envision something traditional, modern, spiritual, symbolic, or completely unconventional, I will guide you every step of the way.
Weddings
Your love story is one of a kind — and your ceremony should reflect that.
From romantic and elegant to relaxed and joyful, I create bespoke wedding ceremonies that capture your connection and celebrate your future together. I can include personalised vows, symbolic rituals, readings, or meaningful cultural elements — all tailored to reflect who you are as a couple.
Naming & Family Ceremonies
Welcoming a child or affirming family bonds is a moment to treasure. Naming ceremonies are a beautiful way to gather loved ones and celebrate new beginnings. I’ll work with you to design a heartfelt and joyful ceremony that honours your hopes for the future.
Funeral & Celebration of Life Ceremonies
In times of loss, compassion matters most.
I create thoughtful, respectful ceremonies that honour a life with dignity and warmth. By listening carefully to family and friends, I craft a tribute that reflects the person behind the memories — celebrating their story, their character, and the legacy they leave behind.
Why Choose Me?
- A fully personalised, bespoke ceremony.
- Compassionate guidance throughout the planning process.
- Professional delivery with warmth and confidence.
- Inclusive and welcoming to all.
Above all, I am here to make you feel supported, understood, and completely at ease.
