Heart of Helios
Ceremonies for life, created with love, passion and sincerity

Welcome to Heart of Helios! I’m Lorraine, an independent, fully qualified, heart-led celebrant…
As a celebrant, I can create and deliver beautiful, personalised and meaningful ceremonies for you to honour and celebrate the special times in your life.
My ceremonies are unique and they are designed around your ideas and wishes, because it’s important to me that your ceremony reflects you and tells your story.
I’m based in a village where the Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire borders meet, and as I used to live in Derbyshire I’m always happy to travel across the whole region – from around Grantham to Bakewell, to Chesterfield and Leicester.
Choose Your Ceremony

Weddings & Renewals
I’ll work with you to create a unique and joyful ceremony, celebrating your commitment with meaning and style.

Naming Ceremonies
A beautiful way to welcome new children or a meaningful celebration of a new identity, naming ceremonies are such positive and joyful experiences.

Funerals & Memorials
We’ll create a beautiful ceremony that truly celebrates the life of your loved one, doing justice to their memory.

Bespoke Ceremonies
Blessingways, House Warmings, Pet Funerals, Rites of Passage and Parting of the Ways… or anything else… I will work with you to create a totally unique ceremony.
Feel free to get in touch any time for a chat about your ceremony… I would love to hear from you.
Why Choose a Celebrant?
As an independent celebrant, I can personalise your ceremony to include anything that is important to you, whether that means religion, your own brand of spirituality, the environment, or the moon and the stars.
Music, poetry, prayer or readings can all be incorporated to reflect whatever has special meaning for you. Rituals can also form part of your ceremony, such as the scattering of rose petals, the lighting of a candle or something more bespoke… perhaps a handtying for a wedding or a gentle anointing with spring water to bless a new baby’s name.
Whatever the occasion, my job as your celebrant is to lovingly and creatively weave a ceremony that is perfect for you.
