Weddings

Let’s celebrate your way

Your wedding …

Congratulations on your engagement! What an exciting time for you both.

I’m so pleased you’re exploring the idea of a humanist wedding, and truly honoured that you’re considering me as your celebrant.

A humanist wedding is such a meaningful way to celebrate. It’s centred entirely on you – your relationship, your values, and your story. You can choose a location that matters to you, invite the people you love most, and create a ceremony that’s authentic, heartfelt, and one-of-a-kind.

I would love to help you create a ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple – celebrating your bond, the promises you’re making, and the future you’re stepping into together. I’ll bring warmth, care, joy, and just the right touch of humour to make sure your day feels deeply personal and wonderfully memorable.

… your way!

Perhaps you’d like to say your vows on a mountaintop; in a meadow; or on a sandy beach? Maybe you’re imagining an intimate ceremony in a cottage garden? Or a woodland wedding with friends, family and the family dog? 

Then again, maybe you don’t yet have a vision for your special day? And if that is the case, I have lots of ideas and suggestions.

Either way, please get in touch to book a free, no obligation chat. This is a great chance for you to tell me what you’re envisaging and ask questions of me. After that, if you decide I’m the right celebrant for you, we’ll create a standout ceremony that is all about the two of you, your love, and your commitment. Just as it should be.

Your package includes

online meeting

Free, no-obligation chat

A 30-minute chat to help us get to know one another. You can tell me about the celebration you’re planning and ask questions about my work.

We can do this face to face or on zoom.

Face to face meeting

Our first meeting

This is likely to be our longest. We’ll consider the people being celebrated; shape the story we’ll be telling; and discuss any elements, symbolic gestures, poems or music you’d like included in the ceremony.

Script writing

Script writing

I’ll get to work on your bespoke ceremony and send you a draft for review. I’ll keep revising it until it’s perfect!

online meeting

Dry run

We’ll agree a time and place for a rehearsal. We want to run through everything before the day, so that everyone involved in your ceremony feels relaxed and prepared.

Phone call on mobile

I’ll be there for you

From our first meeting onwards, I will be available to chat and discuss all aspects of the ceremony as and when you need to.

Wedding certificates

After the ceremony

I will send you a beautifully designed keepsake copy of your bespoke script. If your celebration was a wedding and you opted for a signing, this will include your certificate.

FAQs

I charge a flat fee of £800. This includes all our meetings, my time to plan and write your bespoke ceremony, a full rehearsal in advance of your ceremony and, of course, my time on the day of your celebration. 

I’m always happy to travel further afield to conduct ceremonies, but I may need to charge travel expenses. If this is the case, I’ll let you know before you book, so there are no unexpected additional costs.

A humanist wedding is an opportunity to celebrate your love with your friends and family in ways that are meaningful to you. You can customise the event to your hearts’ content; hold your celebration wherever you like; write your own vows and promises; choose your favourite music; and include symbolic actions such as handfasting, ring warming, drinking from a quaich … the possibilities are endless.

Above all, a humanist ceremony will be written just for you – one that is personal, poignant and unique.

Not yet (although Humanists UK are working on it). As it stands, couples need to book a civil ceremony at their local registry office for their marriage to be legally recognised. The cost of this varies from council to council, although all offer statutory legal registration for less than £100. 

No. A registrar is a government-authorised official who can legally marry a couple. A registrar’s ceremony conforms to strict guidelines, with specific legal wording and a strict time limit.

A humanist celebrant, on the other hand, can create a ceremony that caters to exactly who you are as a couple and include everything you want to share.

100%! Many of my couples choose a traditional ceremony that has a modern feel to it. You can include as much tradition as you like, and break from it wherever you choose. There’s no need to include extra activities or symbolic elements in your ceremony unless these have special meaning for you.

For many people, the traditional Signing of the Register is an important part of the ceremony, not to mention a good photo opportunity. While there is no formal registry, if you’d like a signing, I can provide a certificate for you and your wedding party to sign on the day.

Absolutely, and if you like I can work on them with you – individually and together – to help you create something truly special.

On average, my ceremonies for weddings are around 30 minutes, but this varies depending on the level of detail, the length of readings, symbolic elements, etc.

Absolutely. If you already have someone in mind to conduct your ceremony, I can work with you to plan the entire service, and create your perfect, personalised script for them to work from. See Writing & Coaching.
