Hey there!
I’m Jake Benson
accredited celebrant, actor, writer
I’ve been an actor and writer for theatre, film, and audio for over 10 years. As an ICPC accredited celebrant, I'm interested in hearing your stories and working with you to create ceremonies that perfectly capture your spirit and love and with the complete creative freedom that a celebrant can bring. From the soaring love of Weddings to meaningful, compassionate Funerals for your loved ones, from traditional ceremonies to amazing alternative, even ancient, rituals, such as handfasting - all across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
We can laugh, cry, and everything in between - even during the harder times.
It’s a privilege to work with you and to hear your stories. Let’s grab a coffee, a drink, or just have chat and create a beautiful ceremony together!
your wedding ceremony should be the most magical part of your big day. why shouldn’t it be exactly how you want it?
Let’s set the scene and together - create an amazing ceremony that celebrates you, your love, and your journey,
your way.

All with support every step of the way.This can include traditional services, such a crematoriums, but we can also discuss any alternative funeral styles and sites too - you can hold a funeral anywhere. Let’s make it perfect.
