Hi, I'm Charmian

Looking for a bespoke, joyous & unforgettable celebration of your love? You've come to the right place for Wedding Ceremonies - Vow Renewals - Commitment Ceremonies - Elopements - Civil Partnerships

Your day, your way

Unlike civil ceremonies, non-religious humanist ceremonies are never bland or unmemorable: Intimate or grand, they're always a personalised expression of how you choose to celebrate your love and commitment.

You aren't restricted to licensed venues either. You choose your special place to have your ceremony - from the grandeur of a chateau - chic, iconic or quirky central London location - a park, woodland, spectacular beach setting - an elopement somewhere breathtaking or a bijoux best peeps bash in a back garden: You do you.

Humanist Ceremonies are inclusive and welcoming.

3 simple steps

1. A free, no-obligation chat. A conversation that gives us the chance to get to know each other and for me to hear all about your hopes and dreams for your celebration of love

2. We sign a contract to secure the date and start planning the best ceremony you can imagine. We'll keep talking until it's just right

3. Your wedding day. I’ll be there early, be by your side and ensure it's everything you wanted and more

Me in a nutshell ... I

* live in South West London and enjoy walking in the abundant green spaces it has to offer

* care deeply about climate action, human rights, children's protection, education and literacy

* love music, literature, art, dance, film & opera

* believe storytelling is a fundamental form of creative expression - essential, enriching and helps connect us with others

* adore cityscapes, the hustle & bustle of city life and big natural landscapes, seascapes & tranquility

* enjoy podcasts about people, ideas and politics. My 3 favourites are (1) `Desert Island Discs’ makes me laugh/be inspired/earn something new (2) ‘What I Believe’ interviews with a wide range of prominent humanists about their values, convictions and the beliefs they live by. [Fav. Episode 41 with personal hero, A C Grayling]. (3) 'The Rest is Politics' championing "disagreeing agreeably", in depth analysis and exploring issues from different viewpoints

* wanted to be a Blue Peter presenter when I was a child. I'm just as curious to discover new places and people; still eager to travel, pitch in and learn new things; remain an animal lover

* believe a judicious blend of serious-mindedness and light-heartedness
