Jonathan Dolling is dedicated to serving you, whatever the occasion. Celebrated Ceremonies has become his passion since qualifying as an Independent Celebrant in 2014.

He cares deeply about what matters to the people he works with, honouring ordinary people with extraordinary dreams. His desire is to personalise the way we commemorate the most important moments in the lives of ourselves and loved ones.

After attaining his B.A. Honours degree in Theology at Westminster College, Oxford Jonathan trained as a teacher. His very first RE classes included exploring rites of passage such as weddings and naming ceremonies. His own students relished participating in simulated marriage rituals in the classroom!

Whilst he is an accredited lay preacher in the United Reformed Church, Jonathan now offers a wider, inclusive ministry. He believes that a love for our neighbour calls us to embrace all faiths and belief systems. His own research and experiences equip him to officiate at many types of ceremonies – modern or traditional, spiritual or non religious.

Your Celebrated Ceremony could even employ some of Jonathan’s other interests which include:

  • Travel, relishing the rich cultures of China, India, Cuba, Egypt, Italy, Greece and other climes -contrasting with the wonders of New York and Las Vegas!
  • Singing- occasional Tenor soloist and choir member; part of The Big Chorus at a Royal Albert Hall Concert recently
  • Director and Acting coach
  • Social Tennis and friendly Golf
  • Musical Theatre and film
  • Magic and Illusion
  • Children’s Science parties.

In 2006/7, Jonathan undertook a Certificate in Theatre Studies and joined The Actors’ Company. This enabled him to pursue his love of drama at a professional level including roles in a Victorian play in the west end, various modern works and Pantomimes- “Oh yes, I have!!”

If you would relish a little theatre in your ceremony or seek the extra magic touch of a natural entertainer and communicator, then look no further. Jonathan can produce a day of wonders and heart-felt gladness, bringing your world of imagination into being.
