Ceremony
Sarah and I talked for a long while about the key persons in my life that the ceremony revolved around .  Through Sarah’s patient listening and wise questions we identified the main area to focus on. During the preparation of the ceremony I felt supported and respected as Sarah guided me through the process. I also benefited from Sarah’s  patient, caring and enthusiastic approach and felt full ownership of the final ceremony which marks an important transition in my life
Thank you very much!

 Whenever Sarah is involved in a project, I breathe a sigh of relief. Partly this is because she’s reliable, organised, and brings cheery professionalism to her work. More, though, it is because her attention to detail encompasses the finer points of any production and what each individual involved hopes to achieve. That she is able to steer a straight course away from the dodgier suggestions is another reason that I grab the chance to work with her whenever I can. Rebecca

I would trust Sarah to hold any space, be it joyful or sombre, to ensure the occasion was respectful and relaxed. Diana

Sarah’s background as a performance poet shows in her keen sense of timing and delivery, engaging her audience creatively and according to the requirements of material and events.  Whether reciting her own work or that of others, Sarah’s clarity and expression give due recognition to the significance of words… Sarah has an eye for detail, sets high standards, has a feel for the uniqueness of celebratory occasions and also has a sense of fun.  Sarah’s creative flair is also evident in her awareness of the importance of space, colour and layout to both a room and printed materials in contributing to the feel of an event.  I feel this combination of factors, as well as her many other skills and talents, would enable her to provide a memorable ceremony tailored to and expressive of the desires and needs of the individuals involved.  Sandra

Tailormade Poems
Thank you so much for your work, it makes a very special gift. Catherine

Thanks for the poem – it is so lovely – exactly what I wanted without knowing what I wanted! Jenn

I am very honoured that you have written this wonderful poem for me. Thank you again: it was a beautiful tribute. Mary

The service you’re supplying with Tailormade is unique. It’s a really imaginative thing and incredibly good value when you consider what it is you’re doing. I think it’s a privilege to have access to poets like that, and to ask you to write a poem. Paul

You have done what I asked, captured and celebrated the energy and spirit of my aunt in a great ‘yes’ poem and it moved me to tears. Thanks for using your magic to stitch together memories and moments of my aunt. Sandie

I was delighted by the poem you wrote for my final Munro… It was a complete surprise, and a very original and imaginative idea … the poem relates a lot to me and my tastes and foibles: food, drink, music, habits and even an oblique reference to my mathematical background . And you incorporated these references into metaphors for my progress in the long quest over all those hills. I very much like the result, in particular the way you use the devices of language in an unsentimental way, so that they (metaphors etc.) work more on the parallels of ideas and thence reach their effect. I suppose this accords with my character – and you haven’t even met me! Tim

I was really bowled over by my poem. It is so personal and the details of my life so simply and beautifully expressed. Joan

We can’t thank you enough for the lovely card and absolutely beautiful poem. We have shown this off to everyone and will be getting it framed. We really will treasure it forever, so thank you for an incredibly special and personal gift. Katy

  1. We were delighted with the service Sarah provided for our son’s naming ceremony. She eloquently conveyed a perfect picture of the values, characteristics and history of our family from the information we shared a few weeks prior to the ceremony. She played a key part in making the day such a special one. We would not hesitate to recommend her.
