Hi, I’m Helen,

a family friendly celebrant based in Leeds.

I love to craft and tell stories...
My name is Helen Fenton, I live in Leeds with my two golden retriever dogs.  I retired a couple of years ago from being an Accountant in the Hotel and Care Home Industries, a role I enjoyed for many years. I learned the value of team work, attention to detail and how to communicate well with people of different backgrounds and ages.  I have been public speaking from the age of 7 years old, when I used to perform the readings in a large airy church.  The elderly enjoyed it when I read aloud as they could hear me well, my voice clear and steady carried through the building.

These are the skills I bring to my services as a wedding celebrant, I have trained and qualified as a Certified Wedding Celebrant with the Academy of Professional Celebrants.  

My role as a celebrant is all about understanding you, so that I can create a bespoke ceremony for you to share your love and special moments with family and friends.

I would be delighted to have a conversation with you and collaborate on planning the ceremony of your dreams, whether that’s getting married under the twinkling night sky stars or renewing vows with a beautiful sunset as your backdrop.


No story is the same and I believe no ceremony should be the same.

  • I will ensure your ceremony is true to your wishes and your style.
  • I will be organised and punctual and follow through with everything we agree upon.
  • I will break the mould or honour tradition, whichever you prefer, or create a mix of the two.
  • I’m all for equality, diversity and individuality. All couples welcome.
  • I will draw on my experiences as a celebrant, a guest and an all-round organiser to assist and guide you through the process of planning your ceremony.
