I create ceremonies and rituals filled with love.
Whether it’s a wedding, funeral, naming ceremony, or anniversary, I help you find the right way to celebrate and commemorate important occasions with you and your friends, families and community.
I bring over a decade of experience as a performer and creator of participatory theatre together with the empathy and listening ear of a counsellor.
“Miriam is one of those people you can’t help but feel happy being around. She’s the kind of person you want to have around on your special day, both for her infectious energy, but also her calming warmth. It was a joy to be a part of her celebration and to witness how she wove song, story and love into the ceremony.”
– Szerdi Nagy, Wedding Photographer
I can:
- Design a ceremony that’s unique to you and your loved ones
- Host and officiate for you on the day
- Provide speech writing and public speaking support for your contributors
- Bring in musicians to perform, arrange and even compose music for your event
I am based in London but I’m open to travelling to where you are.
“Thank you for a wonderful evening dedicated to my friend’s centenary. First and foremost, I appreciated the charming way you managed to avoid sentimentality. It felt like any moment the door would open and she herself would appear. The fact that so many vivid memories are associated with someone means that their life – with all its ups and downs – was worth living.”

My fees depend on what you would like me to do. Get in touch and we can have a free initial 20-minute phone or video call to discuss.
“Miriam has the gift of creating a space in which everyone feels not just welcome, but celebrated. She makes theatre that feels somehow as if it’s been designed just for you, and the show has been waiting for you to come along and experience it. She brings care and joy to everything she does, no matter how big or small.”
– Maddie Wilson, Producer, Soho Theatre
