About Paul
Having been vision impaired since birth, my current Guide Dog is called Stevie.
Recently, I graduated with BA (Hons) and MA degrees in creative writing.
I was also Head of Wardrobe at CITV and The Disney Channel.
It was my great honour to serve as Deputy Mayor of the town in which I live in East Sussex.
My hobbies are travelling, reading, going to the theatre, music and doing jigsaw puzzles.
I am passionate about providing a thoughtful and caring service for you, your family and friends, and being a professional celebrant is both a privilege and a pleasure.
Having originally trained as a ceremonies registrar for weddings and citizenship ceremonies with East Sussex County Council in 2016, I had the pleasure of training as a funeral celebrant with The Celebrant Circle in 2025.
Pride runs though everything that I do, whether it is my appearance, the words I write or, how I deliver them.
It is an honour and privilege to be a part of people's lives at such significant milestones, so it would be my utmost pleasure, honour and privilege to support you with all of your ceremony requirements.
Stevie
Woof!
My name is Stevie, and I qualified as a Guide Dog in 2023 when I was 18 months old.
I love supporting my Dad and guiding him to new places and making lots of new friends.
Outside of work, I love to play with my toys, go on long walks and eat my juicy bone.
I do hope that I can get to meet you soon.
