Hi, I'm EJ
Congratulations, you are getting married!
Humanist weddings offer legal, non-religious ceremonies without a set script, enabling you to have the ceremony that you want. This will be an opportunity to make a public commitment to each other with the focus on celebrating what you have together. Whatever your age, wherever the location.... this is a unique celebration in your life. You can be assured that my experience will support the creation of your bespoke ceremony & give you the occasion that you deserve. Together, we can make it what you want.
"The ceremony was exactly what we had wished for, all our friends and family thought it was perfect for us. The sun shone, the words spoken were personal and meaningful and I tried to absorb as much of it as I could despite all the nerves on the day. We just wanted to thank you for helping us to make all our thoughts relating to our wedding come to life and helping us create a ceremony which was everything we had imagined. It set the day off to a roaring success and it will be one we will never forget (and nor will our family and friends!). The ceremony provided so many of our friends with an alternative to how they had traditionally thought of wedding ceremonies and highlighted to them it can be whatever they want it to be, wherever they want it to be.
— Caitlin & Peter
Just to say thank you for everything, above & beyond the ceremony itself. You were amazingly helpful in keeping us on the right track and reminding us why we were there when we were struggling. I referenced you as our “emotional support celebrant” in my speech!
— Danny & Ellie
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work and for carrying out such a beautiful ceremony. It felt so personal and it was everything that we had wanted and so many people commented on this. Having my mum included was such a special touch and meant the world to me.
— Gary & Gavin
My heartfelt thanks for the wonderful job you did for our wedding. Your calm competence and good humour contributed so much to the warmth of that day which all of us present felt. It was more than we could ever have hoped for!
— Edward & Reena
Thanks so much for everything EJ, we & everyone else, thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony, a perfect mix of dignified ceremony with a lovely good humoured light touch. It was truly lovely & reflected us completely.
— Theresa & Martina
We are so grateful that we chose you to be our Celebrant & thankful for the guidance & support you gave us in the lead up to our big day. You're an amazing person, & you made our day so special.
— Grace & Ben

Where I work
Across Northern Ireland - over the past 8 years I have been officiating at an increasing preference for legal wedding ceremonies held at outdoor locations, such as gardens, beaches and woodlands. Overall, there are more ceremonies held indoors but no matter where, this will be a wedding which is unique to you. Lets make sure that its as easy as possible.
