event hosting

only in the uk

Alexander Sparrow and Katie Boyle are available for corporate events and functions. They do everything, from MCing functions, quiz nights, and weddings; to making cameo appearances as any one of our hilarious characters!
Katie is also an independent marriage and civil union celebrant, and alongside Alexander, will choreograph and teach you your own personalized first dance.

If you want to book them, please fill out the below form and tell them what you need.

Alternatively, you can email them at info@sparrowandboyle.com.

“Asking Katie to be our celebrant was one of the best decisions my wife and I made for our wedding. She guided us through everything we needed to do, including writing our vows and sorting the paperwork. She even gave us a few dance lessons to put our first dance together.
She also doubled as our MC and ran the evening perfectly, she created a vibrant atmosphere and added the perfect amount of humour (at our request) throughout the night.

From start to finish, Katie truly came on the journey with us and our day went beyond our expectations due in no small part to her contribution. We couldn’t recommend a more professional, charming and warm celebrant”
— Peter Kim-Le Comte
