About me
Hello, I’m Claire Anna, or as I’m affectionately known, The Rosy Celebrant—a name that reflects the warmth of my ceremonies and, of course, my ever-rosy cheeks!
I am a qualified celebrant, having completed my training with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants (FPC), and I am also a registered member of the FPC.
I’m based in Portsmouth, where I grew up, and live with my husband and our cheeky little kitten, Tiki. When I’m not at my desk or conducting a ceremony, you'll likely find me walking along the Southsea seafront, braving the unpredictable British weather, or enjoying a coffee and a slice of something delightful at a local café. I love any excuse to explore a new destination, and I have a piece of my heart in New Zealand, where my brother and his lovely little family now live.
I’ve been lucky enough to live and work around the world, which means I’m more than happy to travel, and can conduct a ceremony for you throughout the UK and overseas.
For the past six years, I’ve worked as a Registrar of Marriages, Births, & Deaths, which has deepened my respect for the traditions and legalities surrounding life’s milestones. My background as a Registrar gives me a solid understanding of the legal processes involved in marriage and death registrations, and I’m always happy to share this knowledge with those I work with.
I’m passionate about providing a high-quality, heartfelt service to every couple and family. I understand the significance of the moments we’re creating, and I promise to craft meaningful, personal and fitting ceremonies, whether for a wedding, family celebration or a funeral.
I’m here to guide you with warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail, ensuring your ceremony is exactly as you’ve envisioned—with that added rosy touch.
I look forward to being part of your memorable day, delivering a ceremony you’ll cherish.
As a wedding celebrant, I work closely with couples to craft personalised ceremonies that celebrate your love, tell your story, and mark the beginning of your new chapter together. Whether you envision an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I’ll ensure your ceremony is heartfelt, memorable, and exactly as you’ve dreamed.
In times of loss, I offer compassionate support as a funeral celebrant, guiding families in honouring the life of their loved one with dignity and care. I take great pride in crafting ceremonies that truly reflect the spirit of the person who has passed, providing comfort, empathy, and a respectful space during life’s most difficult moments.
