Who am I?
I’m Clover Jean (yep, that’s my real name) an expat, stand-up comedian and the London Wedding Celebrant based in Amsterdam. Since 2008 I’ve performed more than 500 shows and non-legal wedding ceremonies in EU. Born in Shepherds Bush, UK in 1968, at the age of 5 I became a multi-talented performer entertaining my school friends and making them laugh. On my 18th birthday I got a job offer to move to Amsterdam. While working as a management assistant, I pursued a profession as a improvisation actress (one woman show) and singing master-of-ceremonies. This is my life!
What’s my background?
As a European of mixed-nationalities; British Afro-Caribbean. My parents West Indian; Jamaican mum (Baptist) and St. Lucian dad (Atheist), gave me the gift of expression, creativity and Rheumatoid Arthritis. It’s a challenge, but my work life balance gives me energy. I enjoy singing, swimming, storytelling, listening to BBC 4, messing around in my garden, eating apple pie and chilling out on my sofa.
How did I become a celebrant?
Good question! Well, call me crazy, but I love seeing people have fun. So, in 2008 a couple asked me to conduct a non-legal wedding ceremony (in Dutch) on Texel island, they said; ‘Put on a toga, a wig and act!’ I did! And stand-up comedian wedding celebrant was born.
Why choose my services?
As a stand-up comedian and wedding celebrant in Amsterdam, I know that love knows no boundaries or colour. So, I entertain people of colour from all around the world with different faiths and cultural backgrounds. Need I say more about me?
