Hi, I'm Bernard

Thank you so much for visiting my profile.

I’m originally from Kenmare in Co. Kerry (yes, I have an accent!) and now live just outside Dungannon with my family. As a son, brother, husband and father, I’ve had plenty of reasons to celebrate love in all its forms.

Over the years, I’ve also had the joy of attending many humanist weddings for family and friends and I always leave having learnt something new about people I thought I already knew. That’s the magic of a well-told love story.

I’ve been a professional storyteller (also known as a teacher!) for over 20 years, and I’m excited to bring those storytelling skills into the realm of love. Your story deserves to be told honestly, brightly and truthfully.

Your wedding ceremony shouldn’t feel like something people have to sit through before the party starts. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that feels exactly right from the moment you arrive: full of warmth, laughter and meaning. A ceremony that truly reflects the people getting married.

We’ll celebrate your unique journey: how you met, the first moment that made you laugh, the experiences that shaped you, and of course the unforgettable proposal that made saying “yes” feel so easy.

Being a wedding celebrant feels like having the most wonderful superpower: I get to marry people! It’s a privilege and a responsibility I take seriously, and I’d love you to trust me with telling your story.

Tá Gaeilge líofa agam, je parle francais assez bien aussi. Hablo un poco de espagnol e pochissimo italiano.

If you’re looking for a relaxed ceremony filled with fun, emotion and love, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem. We all pay a monthly fee to Humanists UK to further support the work of the charity, and are part of a regional network for like-minded celebrants for support and learning.

Humanist weddings

A humanist wedding ceremony is a wonderful option to celebrate your wedding in the way you choose: without religion but with meaning, and totally true to the two of you. They are uplifting and heartwarming occasions, personal to each couple to reflect your personalities and interests, and your love story. Sincere and significant, your ceremony will be crafted to create an occasion which is unique and fitting to you both.
