Yes, I co-create wedding ceremonies with you, so you can have all your favourite readings or poems and music that you wish to. I create non religious humanist ceremonies.
Anything you want really. Humanist weddings are about honouring you and what is important to you. This is your celebration and should include content that reflects you as a couple. Humanist weddings are not religious weddings. They can be as formal or informal as you wish.
I live in St Albans in Hertfordshire and support couples across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. I spend a lot of time in London too and am happy to travel.
The ceremony can be as long or as short as you want it to be. I will share the wedding ceremony script with you well before your wedding day and we can ensure the timing is perfect for you.
I have been trained and tested. I am an accredited wedding celebrant with Humanists UK and I believe I am privileged to work with all couples in creating the best possible ceremony. Vow renewals, first weddings, blended family weddings - I love them all!
I meet with you to find out what is important to you. Once I understand your story I create a wedding script for your wedding ceremony. I send the script to you and once you have approved it, we then countdown to your big day. It may be helpful to organise a rehearsal the day before your wedding.
On the day of the wedding I will arrive well before you to ensure there are no last minute nerves and I will lead the ceremony.
Following the ceremony I will send you a keepsake presentation script.
Absolutely. Most couples have a pretty good idea of what they want to say but aren't always sure how they want to say them. I can help you get started on your vows with some ideas and examples - it is really up to you.
Vow renewals are a wonderful way of confirming and recommitting your promises to each other. Ceremonies for vow renewals can follow a similar format to weddings and can be great fun as couples are very relaxed, second time round.
Yes, definitely. I think it is important that children get a chance to play a role in the ceremony and can witness the importance of your ceremony and your commitments. We can work out a special way that they can participate so that they feel comfortable and confident.
