Hi, I'm Chloe

Who am I?

In a nutshell, I became a humanist wedding celebrant because I'm a deeply curious person. I'm curious about the world we live in. I'm curious about the people we surround ourselves with. Above all... I'm just a bit curious! 

What are my ceremonies like?

I curate whimsical weddings which celebrate the unique experiences, quirks, and eccentricities of each couple and their relationships. Plus (as a queer, non-religious feminist who also happens to love a wedding) I understand the delicate balance many couples have to navigate between tradition and individual authenticity, and I am always delighted to help create something which feel meaningful, significant, and 'just right'.

What are my couples like?

The answer, of course is that you're lovely, the lot of you! The people who find their way to me are often:

Also lovers of a good rabbit hole, whether that's history, folklore, science, art, or board games!

Drawn to places filled with stories: museums, libraries, archives, old houses, botanical gardens. We'll get on well if you enjoy a weird or wonderful space. Did you know Wookey Hole cave do weddings? You can even invite the witch!

Non-traditional in spirit, even if their wedding might look traditional on the surface.

Thoughtful about their relationship, reflective, and excited to collaborate.

What's it like to work with me?

Working with me is a thoughtful experience. I only take on a small number of couples each year and there are no preset scripts, prescribed conversations, or rigid questionnaires. Instead, we'll meet often, talk widely, and work to create a rich, considered, utterly bespoke ceremony.

I provide all my couples with a gorgeous printed Celebrants Almanac, full of advice, discussion ideas, and activities to support them in thinking about their relationship and shaping it into a ceremony which celebrates them in every detail.

Let's talk!

Whether you're dreaming of something poetic, thoughtful, or delightfully off-beat, I'd be honoured to talk about what you have in mind and how we could work together to shape a ceremony that reflects your values, your humour, your history, and the future you're choosing together. Let's start curating the countless tiny details we need to compose a ceremony that is unmistakably yours.
