Denise Gouge
DG Ceremonies – Professional Civil Celebrant
I am an independent Civil Celebrant based in Norwich but work throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond.
What is a Celebrant? A Celebrant is someone who conducts ceremonies anywhere, any place, anytime. Someone who can provide a ceremony which is meaningful to you; you may want something traditional, simplistic or quirky. Some couples are not aware that the ‘legal bit’ can be carried out in a quick signing at your local Registry Office either before your ceremony, six months later or never! More and more people are wanting a ceremony which depicts their personal journey away from any legal constraints, one which is a ‘Celebration of Life and Love’. This is where I come in! There is no other story to be told other than your own. Based on the information you share with me, I write all ceremonies from scratch which means that they are individual and dedicated to you and only you. You may have something special you want to include, that’s great, and I can ensure it is included! You may want your children or a family member to be involved, that’s great, again, I can include them! You have the final say on all written content so, whether it’s for a wedding, civil partnership, vow renewal or commitment to each other I will work with you to create the ceremony you want.
I only carry out one ceremony per day which also means that your ceremony won’t be rushed. My wedding packages include unlimited communication via email, video call and telephone, writing (with edits) ceremony, order of service and attendance at Ash Tree Barns to carry out the ceremony of your dreams.
Richard Jarmy
Richard Jarmy Photography – Photographer
Hi, I’m Richard, a professional photographer based in the awesome City of Norwich in Norfolk with my wonderful little family, Christina & Jude. I consider myself to be a happy and smiley guy with a passion for making people smile. The enthusiasm I bring to the party will put a smile on your face and I will always try one crazy shot just to add variety. It is not about posing people, it is about making people people feel at ease, which I can then capture them enjoying the day instead of fake smiles. I aim to capture personality and emotion, so it’s not always about the ‘looking into each others eyes’ I’m also after the laughter that usually always follows.
As a wedding photographer, I get the honor to capture memories that will last a lifetime. I will also bring to your wedding enthusiasm and laughter as my aim is to put every single person at ease and to bring out the wonderful personalities and natural candid moments.
My background is that I used to be an entertainer and had been singing in a wedding band for over 15 years, so my experience of having the best fun with a congregation comes from that. My approach is about capturing personalities and fun as well as the perfect moment, whether it be candid or posed. It’s all about the details and I try to look for the little things that make a big difference. From the very start, I’ve always offered my pre wedding / engagement shoots free with any package booked, because it’s the perfect way for us to get to know each other and break the ice. This ultimately leads to a much more relaxed wedding day and I can capture every unique moment as the day unfolds.
Download my brochure here to see a small collection of some of my latest couples who shared their experience so that you can hear it from them instead of me. Thank you to each of them. Any questions, I am always happy to offer advice so please do get in touch.
Lucy Dack Photography
View my Ash Tree Barns wedding photography
My name is Lucy Dack and I am a professional photographer based in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire who loves doing portrait and wedding photography. Photography has been my greatest passion since I was 14 years old, I have never wanted to do anything else. I was honoured to go to the University of Westminster (where they started the very first degree for photography!) where I achieved a first class honours degree.
My aim is to capture beautiful, candid photography during your wedding day for you to treasure. I am passionate about weddings because I love, love! I spend the entire day grinning because experiencing so much warmth, happiness, excitement, makes me feel the exact same way. It is my absolute honour to photograph all the different emotions throughout the day, from the jitters, the tears to the dad dancing – I want to be there for it all because it’s what I love to do.
I am elated to be photographing weddings at Ash Tree Barns, it’s such a unique and tranquil place to be whether I’m here photographing a yoga retreat or a corporate event. I met Claire and Gary at a networking meeting and have been working with them ever since. They have an authentic drive to create the best experience for their guests no matter what the occasion. I have felt at home at the venue since my very first visit! It is a photographer’s dream venue for a wedding due to the colours and the style – I don’t think there is an area there that wouldn’t look fabulous in a photograph.

Fleurellyer
My background in Fine Art coupled with a love of all things creative have led me to the World of Florals. As a child I was always surrounded with flowers arranged by my mother, it seems almost inevitable that my path would venture into Floral Design.
I have a Masters in Fine Art from the Edinburgh School of Art and formal Floristry qualifications (City of Guilds and a Diploma from The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers). From 2016 to 2018, I was part of the in-house Floristry Team at the renowned Narborough Hall Gardens, Norfolk – a luxury Wedding Venue. Here I was allowed to hone my own natural style and develop as a Floral Designer.
Today I continue to develop as an Independent Floral Designer. I enjoy creating naturally inspired Floral Designs for Weddings, Events, Editorials and more. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with others, especially to create unique experiences, drawing on my Fine Art practise. I have a number of people I can call upon to work with me, so I can deliver a personal, meaningful and bespoke experience to fit any event, large or small.
When I’m not working with Flowers or Creatives, I can be found in Cambridgeshire with my family or foraging in the Cambridgeshire Countryside!
