Description

Beautiful bespoke ceremonies for weddings, funerals and other special occasions. Rooted in imagination and love, where stories grow and celebrations blossom. Heartfelt ceremonies, creatively curated with loving care.

I am a fully qualified independent and heart-led celebrant offering ceremony services across Gloucestershire, surrounding counties and beyond.

Each individual human is as unique as each tree that grows in the world. Each ceremony, whether a wedding, a vow renewal, a funeral, a naming or any life event you wish to celebrate can reflect this uniqueness. I am passionate about making life’s transitions truly celebratory and meaningful. My role as The Tall Trees Celebrant is to design a script that forms a sincere and special ceremony, that shines a light on you and your love story, life story or new beginning. A memorable and heart-full celebration embracing personalised word-story, music, memories, rites and rituals and all that feels precious to you.

In honour of the ceremonies I write and officiate, I pledge to donate a number of trees annually.

My training experience with Heart-Led Celebrants expresses a distinct way of working, taking considered time to get to know you. I will hear, honour and nurture your ideas, wishes, dreams, experiences and memories, creatively weaving them into your ceremony. Each Tall Trees Celebrant ceremony script is consciously crafted especially for you.

I’d be delighted to hear from you and highly recommend that you contact a handful of celebrants in your preparation and planning. In essence, find a connection that feels comfortable, warm, trusting and respectful.
I'd love to hear from you and talk all things ceremony!

This young lady did a sterling job for us when we celebrated our silver wedding and renewed our views yesterday. Highly recommended, we love you Jilly

I cannot thank Jilly enough for her help, empathy, understanding and professionalism helping and guiding both myself and family through the very emotional process for the cremation of my late wife. Jilly ensured that everything went as planned on the day, and we thoroughly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position to what we have recently been through

I can’t recommend “The Tall Trees Celebrant” enough. My wife and I weren’t really sure what elements we wanted to include in our wedding ceremony. From our first meeting, Jilly sussed out our vibe and what was important to us in our relationship, and from that, she came up with so many great ideas for rituals that would have special meaning to us. The whole process was delightful. We felt like we were in very safe hands as Jilly took the time to really get to know us and gave us many opportunities to check in while preparing the script for the big day. It was definitely the least stressful of all the wedding planning elements. Thank you so much for a wonderful and unforgettable ceremony.

Booking Jilly Drywood to be our celebrant was the best decision we made for our wedding day. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to truly understand us as a couple. Jilly took the time to absorb our history, our quirks, and our values, spinning them into a beautiful narrative. On the day, the ceremony felt so unique to us. Jilly delivered it with the perfect balance of quiet authority, deep empathy, and genuine warmth. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards saying it was the most moving and personal wedding they had ever attended. If you want a ceremony that cuts out the generic formalities and focuses entirely on the essence of your love story, look no further. Thank you Jilly from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so memorable.

I wish there were more stars. I knew from our first meeting Jilly was the perfect celebrant for us. She worked with us to craft the most beautiful ceremony and the whole process was so relaxed. On the day she kept me calm whilst waiting for my wife. She went above and beyond in too many ways to list here. She also introduced us to an amazing community of suppliers which helped make the day so special. I whole heartedly recommend her. A very special human.
