Hi, I'm Eleanor
First of all CONGRATULATIONS are in order! You're engaged! And you've decided to take a huge step & seal the deal! Planning your wedding can be exciting but I know, from experience, it can also be a wee bit stressful! However, don't despair, I'm here to help you create the most personal & unique wedding ceremony; one which you will remember so fondly for many years to come!
A wee bit about me
I'm a mum of two legendary teenagers & a stepmum for another three amazing kids. I’ve lived on the North Coast for over 16 years but I’m a Scottish girl through & through, from just outside Glasgow! I live with my husband Mark & I spend alot of my time stoating along our gorgeous coastline with my beloved pup Ziggy. When I'm not out walking I love to read, drink red wine infront of the fire (during the colder months) or sip crisp cold fizz in the back garden (during the brief warmer months). I also love to write & occasionally take part in a life drawing class or a similar creative pursuit. I'm not good at the latter but its wonderful for destressing. Same with yoga which at the moment - with one teenager who has just passed his driving test - is a necessary part of my week. Coffee, real bread & delicious treats also feature heavily in my life; we only have one life so I'm here to enjoy it!
My first introduction to a humanist ceremony was actually a funeral for my dear Dad. It may seem strange but it truly was a personal celebration of his full life & this got me thinking...when it came to planning my own wedding with Mark I knew we had to go down the humanist route. Together with a wonderful celebrant we created such an amazing unique celebration of our love. And this is what I can offer you!
My offering to you
First of all I want you to throw out the rule book & any ideas of what you think a wedding has to include. Your humanist ceremony can take place anywhere, you just need a postcode! It would be the greatest privilege for me to help you write your love story & guide you in creating a completely bespoke ceremony that is all about you; music of your choice, readings or poems that are special to you & we can also include a symbolic gesture or two if that floats your boat! I can offer inspiration & advice for all of this. We can also include any traditional elements that you love; this, of course, is all about you & your partner.
if this sounds good please get in touch for a no-pressure chat!
