Meet the Owner

Joy Basdeo is the owner of Simply Weddings and its primary wedding celebrant. She has more than 25 years of experience as a Wedding Celebrant and has been a Civil Registrar of Marriages since 2007.  She is also a Justice of the Peace, a Notary Public and was made a member of the British Empire (MBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. Joy has officiated over 4000 weddings and hundreds of wedding vow renewals.  Joy is the author of your personalized ceremony, as she works with each couple to include the details that are most meaningful to their wedding, civil partnership blessing or renewal ceremony.

In June 2011, Joy was joined by her husband of 52 years, Sam and he quickly fell into the role of office manager. In recent years, Joy has been joined by her daughter, Samantha Paul (Civil Registrar of Marriages and Civil Partnerships) and son, Brett Basdeo (Civil Registrar of Marriages and Civil Partnerships), ensuring the continuity of the business for years to come.
