Your wedding, your way
Creating the wedding ceremony YOU choose
A humanist wedding allows you to create your ceremony exactly as you want it to be, reflecting your personalities, your values, your passions.
Personal and meaningful, it will be an occasion built around the two of you, tailor-made and focused on your stories. Whether a large, grand affair or a bijou micro wedding it will capture your individuality, your quirks, your uniqueness.
You can choose to have an outdoors wedding, in a location with special meaning for you, or in a venue that may not be licensed for the registrar, at the time and date you want. At the heart of the ceremony will be your love story, and the totally individual vows of commitment you make to one another.
I’m a humanist wedding celebrant based in London and the South East of England who will help you create the unforgettable wedding ceremony you desire.

At the current time, during the pandemic, there are limitations on how wedding ceremonies can take place, but you can still have a wonderful, warm and memorable day. See here for more about humanist ceremonies at present.
Any place
You would like your wedding on a beach? Up a mountain? In a stone circle? You want to get married in a woodland setting? On a theatre stage? At a music festival? You can have a humanist wedding ceremony wherever you choose, indoors or outside - as long as it is permitted, of course! - even when it is not licensed for a registrar.
Any how
You’d like your pup to be ring bearer? No problem! You want to sing your vows to each other? Fine! You’d like to incorporate elements of your families’ heritage and traditions into the ceremony? Fabulous! This is YOUR wedding, and together we can craft and create the authentic and personal occasion you desire.
Any time
The date and time of your wedding doesn’t need to be limited by the availability or the working hours of the registrar. Sunrise? Sunset? Under the stars? At midnight? You can choose whenever works for you, and for everyone you want to be there with you on your day.
Vow renewals
Whether wed already for thirty years, or for three, re-stating your commitment to one another in a ceremony which reflects you and your journey together can be a powerful and joyous occasion. It’s a wonderful way to create new memories and involve family and friends.
Micro Weddings
Intimate ceremonies - eloping or at home, just the two of you, or with a very small group of family and friends - are sometimes the perfect way to affirm your commitment to one another. No need for the trimmings and extras that are so important for some, if that’s the way it works for you.
Reweddings
Sometimes a second ceremony, not so long after the first, is just what a couple choose - to involve family who couldn’t attend a wedding overseas, for example, or to have a bigger and more inclusive event after an initial modest one.
Inclusive
There are lots of ways to involve friends and family in the ceremony, with readings, music or a communal gesture - like asking everyone to warm the wedding rings or tie messages of good wishes to a tree. It brings people from different parts of your lives together, as they share in your special day.
Creative
Your Imagination is the limit! We can include symbolic rituals, like a hand-fasting or a sand-blending ceremony, or we can brainstorm and find something totally unique and original to you. Readings, poetry, music, performances, participating by friend and family members - the page is blank, and ready to be crafted into a ceremony unlike any other.
Love is Love
And that is all.
