Hazel Jane‘s biography

How lovely to meet you.

My name is Reverend Hazel Jane, and I believe in magic.

I believe in honour, in history, in symbolism, in truth. I believe we can celebrate love differently. I believe we can do death better.

I am an interfaith minister and creative celebrant living in a wee village in Fife, Scotland.

I conduct weddings, funerals, and rites of passage for gorgeous souls in Scotland and beyond. I’m passionate about telling stories. I craft with language and ritual to create beautiful, safe spaces – holding people wherever they are, offering whatever they might need. I take the act seriously, and believe in the meaning, but laughter is medicine too and my ceremonies are often joyful and relaxed.

I came to ceremony after experiencing the power of a deeply personal and authentic funeral in my family. I witnessed true healing and true grieving and felt this is where I belonged. In 2018, I trusted the calling and trained with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. Wanting to deepen this practice, in July 2021 I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister with the OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation. I respect, love and appreciate all faiths and those with no faith.

Rituals are incredibly powerful. A ceremony can welcome a new life to this world, or bind two souls together. Ceremony can let go of a life beautifully lived, or aid in the grief of a life gone too soon. This time we carve out, directing our collective energy into love and celebration, is truly sacred.

I combine my celebrancy and ministry with a love of journalism – I am curious and want to find out about you so I can create something that is authentic and completely bespoke.

If you are planning a ceremony in the future, I would be thrilled to join you. If you want to find out more about what I’m up to, I update Instagram regularly.

Love always, in all ways.

Hazel
