First things first…congratulations – you’re getting married! More than anything I want you to know that being a celebrant is a privilege and an honour; you can expect a highly personalised and professional service. I work with you to craft words, symbols and actions to form a memorable event that you will draw upon for the rest of your lives.
This is your day and I want to help you to do it your way. That might be traditional in style or something quite outlandish; inside or outside, large or small…live or live-streamed! One of the great things about a Humanist celebration is that there are no rules – just an opportunity to celebrate and formalise your love before those who are special to you. I also celebrate diversity and inclusion; I aim to help remove any barriers that might prevent you or those you care about from fully participating in the ceremony.
I was raised in Manchester, studied in Liverpool and have worked in Manchester, Cornwall, Botswana and Somerset where I now live. I come from a background in teaching and training and now enjoy using my experience in planning and presentation as I engage with couples to deliver special ceremonies. Whilst my default manner is to make people relaxed and find humour...I can also put my serious hat on too!
I enjoy the outdoors and all it has to offer; from surfing and kayaking to long dog walks in the West Country (Dora - the Vislador in case you're interested). I am a keen guitarist and chose to step into celebrancy after also performing at many weddings across the South West.
Have a browse and watch my introductory video to get a sense of what I am about and whether my style and manner seem right for both of you. I am based in the centre of Somerset but am happy to travel further afield. The starting point is always a no obligation phone call / video chat.
I look forward to hearing from you.
