My Story

MY STORY

My name is Lorraine Chappell.

I’m a busy mother of two wonderful children and known in my area as ‘Singing Lorraine’!

MY APPROACH

My approach is warm, compassionate, and deeply personal. I take the time to listen, to understand, and to craft ceremonies that truly capture the essence of the people they celebrate.

YOUR CEREMONY

As your celebrant, I will guide you through life’s important moments with warmth, understanding, and a deep respect for your story.

RANGE OF SERVICES

I offer the following services crafted to your wishes: Funeral Ceremonies, Wedding Ceremonies, Naming Ceremonies and Vow Renewal Ceremonies

TRAINED & CERTIFIED

My training and accreditation by The Academy of Professional Celebrants means I am expertly trained and insured, and support equality and inclusion.

MY STORY

My career has been predominantly in Musical Theatre and I’ve been fortunate to perform in many wonderful West End shows including Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Evita, South Pacific, Fame, Mamma Mia and Acorn Antiques, to name a few.

I run Mini Molesey Theatre Club and a Molesing Ladies Choir in Molesey, Surrey during the week and spend most weekends singing with function bands or as ‘Agnetha’ from Abba at other people’s weddings and events.

My approach

Working with people and story telling is my passion. I believe these are two vitally important skills to possess as a celebrant. Becoming a celebrant seemed like the most obvious and natural career choice for me. The opportunity to meet with families, listen to their stories and to have the honour to relay them with compassion, empathy, humour and humility to friends and family is a truly humbling and wonderful experience.
