Lisa said: “It is a great achievement to have been nominated by one of my families.

“I have been a funeral arranger/funeral conductor for many years, but after officiating my best friends wedding in August 2020 at her insistence – as I didn’t think I could do it – it was suggested that I had missed my calling, so I decided to go for it and train as a civil celebrant I qualified in February this year with a higher merit diploma.

“I am so pleased that I decided to change my career and love making ceremonies for families, whether it be to say goodbye to a loved one, welcome a new member of the family or making dream weddings come true.

“I offer ceremonies in weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies and renewal of vows. I cover east and West Sussex but am willing to travel further if requested.”

“The past year has shown how integral Celebrants are within the funeral and weddings industry, working and supporting families through life-changing events.
