Ceremonies Filled with Heart, Meaning & a Personal Touch

Services

I’m Ria Gilchrist, a celebrant based in North Yorkshire, passionately devoted to creating ceremonies that truly resonate with each unique couple or family.

With years of experience working as a Ceremonies Assistant in North Yorkshire, I’ve had the privilege of helping with hundreds of weddings before launching my own celebrant journey.

From the sweeping landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales to the romantic castles and intimate barns scattered across the region, I’m intimately familiar with North Yorkshire’s most popular venues—and I’m delighted to share my knowledge with you!

How can I help?

My role as a celebrant is to bring your story and values to the heart of the ceremony. Whether you’re looking for a grand celebration or a quiet, personal gathering, I offer three main services to help you mark the milestones of life:

Weddings & vow renewals

From traditional vows to modern unity rituals, let’s craft a personal, heartfelt ceremony that is uniquely you. My extensive experience in North Yorkshire’s top venues means I can guide you through everything from local regulations (if needed) to recommending trusted florists, photographers, and more.

Baby naming ceremonies

A baby naming ceremony is all about celebrating new life and the love and support that surround your child. Whether you prefer a small gathering in your family’s garden or a more formal event, I’ll help you design a ceremony that feels inclusive and deeply meaningful.
