Your Day. Your Way.

About Humanist Ceremonies

A Humanist ceremony is the most beautiful thing. It connects with you to communicate your passions, it celebrates the fact that you are the most important person at your own wedding. This is your day, this is your story.

I can help you tell your tale and using my experience take your loves, your stories and journey and craft the perfect wedding ceremony you never thought possible.

About the process

Every couple is different, so every experience of crafting a ceremony is different.
Some couples book me straight away and I only meet them properly six months before the big day.
Other couples we have a Zoom chat or meet up and go over things before they book.
Some couples like to send messages and tag me in posts on social media, others are more private!
The right way to do this is your way, and that's different for everyone.

However, at the end of the process, the result is the same.
A unique ceremony crafted for you, sent in advance for approval, and then delivered on your big day.


What will I do?
- I will 'Save the Date' while you decide if you want to make a booking.
​- My quote will be for the full cost of services including any mileage costs, there are no 'extras'. 
- You receive a copy of the ceremony in advance, you can request as many changes as you need to get things just right.
- I will issue a contract with all the important details clearly in black and white.
- For legal weddings I give you guidance on the legal process to ensure that on the big day I can legally marry you. 


​Any Questions?
Contact me now with a cheeky wee WhatsApp or text to get it off your chest or just go straight to my Quick Date Check to see if I am available and 'Save the Date'.

About Me

Since my own Humanist marriage in 2014 I've been working with couples to help create their perfect wedding ceremony, delivering with my distinctive style on the day and legally marrying couples.

Time and time again my couples say their ceremonies are better than they could ever have imagined setting them up for a brilliant evening party. Guests often tell me
 it's the best ceremony they have every been to and they feel like they know the couple better.

That is because I aim to capture something of the couple in my ceremonies with heart and humour. I always want people to enjoy themselves, to hear laughter and for everyone to feel relaxed and engaged with the ceremony.

​If that's the kind of ceremony you want, then get in touch to see if I am free for your date.
