Gillian Mason | Wedding and Funeral Celebrant

Hello, I am Gillian Mason your Family, Wedding and Funeral Celebrant in East Yorkshire. I am a daughter, sister, wife, mum of teens and dogs, lover of baking, walking and comedy.

Settled back and now living in my home county of East Yorkshire after being away for 25 years whilst I grew my career and started my family and living in Newcastle, London and Leeds - I love being back reconnecting with old friends and being closer to care for older family members.

I run my own business as a leadership and life coach, delivering leadership training and team development. I do a lot of public speaking and coach others in presentation skills. My purpose is supporting individuals, teams and organisations to be the best and happiest they can be. I live my own life knowing that I don't want regrets and that's it better to start, to try, to be positive, to look for joy and to just keep moving.

I spend my time supporting others to truly find themselves and their happiness. I find joy in helping individuals, families and friends to make the most out of life. But my real passion is helping people celebrate life’s big moments and ensuring the life we lived is also celebrated.

The move into becoming a Celebrant was very easy, clear and simple. After attending a number of funerals where a celebrant was present, I realised I could naturally, confidently and empathetically support families and friends. It is an honour and a privilege to be part of your journey.

I cover all of East Yorkshire, Hull and the Humber helping you with life’s most significant moments – from baby naming’s to civil partnerships and funerals.
