“Your wedding – your way!

Personal, unique, meaningful, and memorable"

Wouldn’t it be great to start your married life with a ceremony that really means something? To tell your friends and family what your relationship means to you, and why you are choosing to get married?

Oni fuasai’n wych i gychwyn eich bywyd priodasol gyda seremoni sydd wirioneddol yn golygu rhywbeth i chi fel cwpl? I gael seremoni sy’n datgan yn glir eich rhesymau dros briodi person mor arbennig?

Humanist weddings are amazing. They allow couples to marry where they want, when they want, and how they want. It focuses on the love and commitment between two people and nothing else matters. You probably know this already, but there’s no set format and script. Instead, each wedding is tailored to meet your requirements, and is totally unique and personal to you.

I recognise that the day that you join in marriage is your big day, and will do everything I can to ensure that you remember it for the rest of your lives. That's my aim! Elegant and classic, quirky or informal – what matters the most is that the ceremony is right for you, and reflects exactly who you are as a couple.

You will have hopes and expectations of your big day, and when we meet I will provide you with ideas and suggestions to ensure your own ideas become reality. There will be choices to be made, including personal wording you may want to use to exchange vows and rings. You may also want to include readings and music, or another symbolic action such as hand-fasting or lighting a candle. Some couples choose to involve other family members, or even their pet, in their ceremony. There’s a lot to think about, but it’s my job to help guide you through your choices and make the experience as fun as can be!

I’ll write a draft ceremony, which we then edit and perfect together. We can have a rehearsal prior to the wedding. On the big day itself I will deliver your ceremony, guiding you through the process to make sure that your day is the truly special occasion you dreamed of. You’ll receive a printed copy of your script as a keepsake, so you can remember every last word of your loving vows.

​If you are considering a humanist wedding, or simply want to renews your wedding vows, visit my website or contact me for a no-obligation chat. And if you want your wedding ceremony bilingually, or in Welsh, I can help with that too!

I have motor neurone disease and surprised my wife with a vow renewal, so Dawn faced a problem of not speaking to my wife and relying on myself for the information. Dawn’s ceremony was an amazing piece of work – personal, humorous, and some words of reflection and wisdom. That day 60 guests were blown away by Dawn and her personal approach and the way the ceremony was delivered with heart, respect and passion. There were tears, but plenty of laughter too. So for myself, my wife and fellow guests, Dawn made a great day into a special day for so many people.

​I can't thank Dawn enough for the amazing ceremony at our wedding in Faenol Fawr recently. All of our guests commented on how special and unique the ceremony was, unlike anything they had seen before. During our meetings with Dawn she was so warm and friendly and took so much time to perfect our ceremony. The detail she went to in finding out our story was incredible, turning it into something so touching with just the right amount of humour. We feel so incredibly grateful that Dawn was part of our wedding day and we will cherish the memory for many years to come.

Thank you so much Dawn for being our Humanist Celebrant last week at Hafod Farm. Your expertise, professionalism and encouragement knows no bounds and thank you for being so positive and willing to be lived streamed to Australia for my family to watch and for our little elderly rescue terrier to be in the ceremony. I could not recommend Dawn and her services enough for your important and meaningful occasions. Thank you for being part of our journey and making it so special for us.

— Eleni and Carl

Dawn was absolutely brilliant - our wedding ceremony felt so personalised to us and Dawn included bits of humour which suited us perfectly. She really took the time to understand who we are as a couple and our story, and we had so many comments from guests about how lovely the ceremony was. On top of this Dawn also replies really quickly and is great at keeping in touch. I would highly recommend!

What an amazing ceremony we had with Dawn at our family home in North Wales. After chatting to Dawn before the ceremony , the effort and thought that went into the words Dawn read was just beautiful. It was funny, personal and heartfelt and helped us have the most special day.
