My name is Paul Fox and I live in the beautiful village of Hemblington, in Broadland, Norfolk. I am married with grown up children, step children and lots of amazing grand children.
Born and bred in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, I fulfilled my childhood ambition and joined the police in 1987. After serving my probation in Kings Lynn and then an overseas posting to Bermuda for a further 2 years I eventually settled in Acle, between Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
As the “Old Fashioned” type of policeman, for the next 25 years I forged a close, yet professional relationship with the parishioners of many of Broadlands wonderful villages, my priority always being the people I served.
My last few years in the police was spent working as a liaison officer in the various mental health hospitals within Broadland. This was a thoroughly rewarding job dealing on a daily basis with the most vulnerable in our society.
Upon retiring from the police in 2015 I carried on working within the world of mental health before having a complete change of career and becoming the concierge at a leading 4 star hotel on the outskirts of Norwich.
As a people person I loved this job and spent all day helping guests in various ways in order that they got the most out of their stay.
No story is the same and I believe no ceremony should be the same.
I will ensure your ceremony is true to your wishes and your style.
I will be organised and punctual and follow through with everything we agree upon.
I will break the mould or honour tradition, whichever you prefer, or create a mix of the two.
I’m all for equality, diversity and individuality. All couples welcome.
I will draw on my experiences as a celebrant, a guest and an all-round organiser to assist and guide you through the process of planning your ceremony.
