Marcia Bravo Celebrant UK and Spain

I provide bespoke wedding ceremonies. and I am especially passionate about helping couples to achieve their dreams and aspirations for the wedding ceremony of their dreams be that an elopement, bilingual wedding in English or Spanish or micro wedding or outdoor ceremony. In fact I have always been passionate about helping people having chosen to work in the charity sector for over 20+ years. I feel very proud to have helped vulnerable individuals and those in crisis situations to recover and achieve their life goals and aspirations. It is these skills, my caring nature, motivation; along with my rich experience of life that I bring to my ceremonies. I have a flair for listening to the needs of clients with whom I work driven by my passion for ensuring that individuals have the best customer journey possible and I continue to review and evaluate their needs frequently. I have an extensive vault of life experience and experiences of supporting and motivating individuals based on my time working with the charitable sector and these skills and experience enable me to offer a wrap around service to clients with whom I work. I have extensive experience of supporting individuals from a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles and my approach is driven by my values and commitment to ensuring that clients receive a personal service. As a professional who has always worked providing customer facing support, advice and motivation to individuals I am able to bring something special to my work as a celebrant.

Having worked and networked with different communities whilst working in the charity sector, I have always strived to ensure that all individuals received a quality accesible service.  I worked closely with local lgbtq groups in the community to ensure the services I managed were inclusive.  In addition being proactive about developing my personal learning supporting individuals from lgbtq communities who contacted the organisation where I worked.  As an lgbtq ally within my organisation I was part of an lgbtq working group. championing and contributing to policies and e-learning for staff to ensure that individuals who identified as being from lgbtq communities were supported, procedures were inclusive and that all staff had an awareness of issues faced by individuals from the lgbtq community and followed best practice in respect of referral processes, support and review.

As a creative person who loves creating pieces in ceramics and abstract painting, I love to use the energy I gain when I am creative to influence my ceremony writing and flow of ideas.  I also like to take influences from nature when researching and writing my scripts and often write my scripts when I am outside connected to nature.  I am driven first by the needs and aspirations of my clients and I  use my celebrant training and creative thinking to suggest ideas that are specific to the couples I am working with to ensure a personalised ceremony.  My continuous personal development helps to ensure that I am always searching for ideas and unique ways to create a vibrant and energetic ceremony.

What I love the most is listening to the stories of couples and supporting and guiding them to achieve a ceremony that is personal and reflects their dreams.  I love taking ideas from paper and shaping them into reality.  I have always been passionate about working with people and being a celebrant allows me to continue to do so, injecting my personality, ideas and vault of experience and skills that make the experience personal and memorable.  As a creative person I get to use my creative skills regularly writing and officiating wedding ceremonies, I don´t think it can get any better than that.
