My name is Leigh Carmichael.  My partner Sue and I live in idyllic North Yorkshire, running self-catering cottages in the Dales. With Olive our cat, we are living the good life.


I am qualified Family and Funeral Celebrant with UKSOC.  I look forward to meeting and beginning a journey with you to ensure that the ceremony encapsulates the essence of what you wish to create.


Prior to becoming a professional celebrant, I enjoyed 25 years in Primary Education as a Class Teacher before serving as a Headteacher.

I am a people person with emotional intelligence in abundance. My warmth and assurance will put you at ease and with this trust I can create the ceremony befitting the occasion.
