ABOUT ME

ANNETTE PALMER

Solihull and West Midlands Celebrant

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.

Every life is defined by its milestones - the sweet promise of a naming day, the breathtaking joy of a wedding or the quiet, sacred reflection of saying goodbye. As an Independent Celebrant, my wish is simply to help you honour and celebrate these milestones in a way that feels entirely true to you.

My journey to this work has been shaped by a lifetime of being passionate about everything I do.   For years, I worked in project management, which taught me how to handle the finest details with calm efficiency. When you work with me, you can simply breathe and be present, knowing that every logistical piece is gently and securely taken care of.

As an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Life Coach for the last 20 years, my heart is always centred on empathy.  I focus on listening, understanding and connecting with you to create a truly safe, comfortable space where you can share your stories, your wishes, and, during times of loss, your grief. I am here to listen and ask questions to enable me to weave your emotions into words.

And if you’re wondering how your ceremony will feel on the day, please rest assured you are in experienced, caring hands. For many years as a Qualified Professional Trainer, I’ve had the joy of inspiring and guiding people—whether in intimate, quiet groups or in front of large audiences. Alongside this, my deep passion for singing in a choir to large audiences has taught me how to truly connect, share a passion for life, and hold a room with warmth. I bring that same grounded, calm presence to your ceremony, gently lifting away any pressure so you and your loved ones can simply be present in the moment.
