About me
I’m Clover Jean (yes, that’s my real name), a certified bilingual wedding officiant/celebrant based in Amsterdam with decades of performing and singing experience. I’ve delivered over 500 informal and formal ceremonies, plus live music shows. Celebrating weddings for international and interracial couples is my passion. No two love stories are the same; each one is unique!
What’s my nationality?
I’m British-Afro-Caribbean and the daughter of West Indian and interfaith parents. Sadly, my Jamaican mum (Baptist) and St. Lucian dad (Atheist) have passed away. I’m an auntie with nieces and a nephew.
What’s my background?
I was born in Shepherd’s Bush, London (1968), and moved to Amsterdam in the late 80’s. It inspired me to become a choir singer, travel and tour guide, and master of ceremonies I created a one-woman show. In 2008 I became a certified celebrant.
What do others say about me?
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, with an optimistic and holistic approach to life. People say my signature warmth, humour and high-energy delivery as a celebrant brings a spark to their event.Your love story excites me; I’m a social butterfly and solitary bee. I enjoy swimming, BBC 4, the great outdoors (nature, including my garden), apple pie, and chilling on my sofa.
Who are my ideal clients?
Couples with amazing connection and love stories who want an alternative ceremony or a bilingual wedding officiant. In 2008, a couple from Texel said ‘Will you be our ceremony speaker? ‘Of course!’ (I’d never done it before.) So, I put on a toga, wig and the Black Marriage Officiant and Celebrant Abroad service was born. Need my help? I’m curious! Contact me today!
