Hi, I'm Charmian

If you're looking for a bespoke, joyous and unforgettable celebration of your love - you've come to the right place.

Your day, your way

Unlike civil ceremonies, non-religious humanist weddings 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 wedding ceremony - the grandeur of a chateau - a chic, iconic or quirky central London location - a park, woodland, spectacular beach setting - a bijoux best peeps bash in a back garden - an elopement somewhere breathtaking. 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 a bit and see if we would be a good fit to work together

2. We agree to work together, secure the date and start planning your dream wedding. We'll keep talking until it's just right. You have an option for a full rehearsal before the big day

3. Your wedding day. I’ll get there early to ensure we’re 100% good to go

About me... 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, diversity and inclusion

* 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 the hustle and bustle of city life and cityscapes and my trips to the tranquility of big natural landscapes and seascapes

* enjoy podcasts about people, ideas and politics. I'm a big fan of (1) `Desert Island Discs’ with episodes that will make me laugh, be inspired, learn something new (2) ‘What I Believe’ Chief Executive of Humanists UK, Andrew Copson interviews with a huge 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' for 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 still curious and eager to discover new places, people, to pitch in and learn new things

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