Hi, I'm Conor
I'm Conor (he/him), and I'm a wedding celebrant based in Liverpool, where I live with my wife, Kirsty, and our cats, Bruce and Hugo, who are monsters. I'm originally from Ireland, and lived in Oxford for a very long time, before relocating to Liverpool in 2022.
I've had a varied career, working in theatre, publishing, comedy and radio - lots of jobs where I've had to talk to people, be entertaining, and write and edit scripts. Basically, everything I've done in my career so far lends itself very nicely to the work that a celebrant does! I'm currently studying for a Masters degree in Comedy Writing, too.
In 2019, my wife and I had our own Humanist wedding in Belfast. Humanist weddings had only recently been awarded legally-binding status in NI (something which Humanists UK are working hard to achieve for England and Wales, too).
I was raised Catholic, as was my wife, but neither of us have any religious beliefs. Therefore, we wanted to do something non-religious. A simple civil ceremony could have done the job, but we chose a Humanist ceremony after meeting our amazing celebrant. She told us how our wedding could be a genuine reflection of us as a couple, and contain our favourite pieces of music, literature and poetry, and we were sold!
Our wedding ceremony was honestly the best experience of our lives, and pretty much that day, I realised that I wanted to work with couples to help them realise their perfect wedding in the same way we had. After a huge amount of encouragement from friends and family, I finally took the plunge and in 2022, I completed the training with Humanists UK.
I love working with and getting to know people, hearing their stories, meeting their friends and families. It's a genuine privilege to work with couples and be trusted with such an important and meaningful job, and I would love the opportunity to chat to you about how we could work together to craft, perfect and deliver your dream ceremony.
I'm really passionate about this work. It's such a privilege to work with couples and be trusted to tell your story, and deliver your ceremony. And it is SO fun!
As a confident, creative, calm person, I have the skills and enthusiasm to bring your story to life in a memorable, fun and totally unique way. Your guests will never have been to a wedding quite like yours, because there isn't another couple quite like you.
Please do visit my website or ping me an email if you'd like to chat about your ceremony - I'd love to hear from you!
We couldn't have asked for a better Humanist celebrant. Conor made our ceremony so personal and very much about our little family with Theodore and Belle. Everyone raved about how fantastic he was!

We loved having you there! Our ceremony was perfect - just what we wanted! We had so, so many comments throughout the day about how great the ceremony was. We’re so glad we found you!
— Sarah and Mark
We were so excited to book Conor to perform our ceremony. His fun nature really excited us and the attentiveness he showed whilst asking us about the story of us, were really central in why we chose him. And the fact he is so open to alternative readings/quotes that suits our style/incorporating things we’ve loved since childhood (aka my obsession with Buffy 😂) to make it really unique and really “us”.
