Hi, I'm Eliza

I love collaborating with couples to co create unique, meaningful and intentional ceremonies which are totally bespoke to you and which celebrate your love story, values and personalities. My style is relaxed and warm and I'm inclusive and considered. I want you and your partner to really feel connected to your ceremony experience, after all it's one of the most important moments in your lives, so I want you to feel it's done with, rather than, to you! I make every effort to ensure you and your guests feel your ceremony is totally 'you', enriched by laughs and some happy tears along the way. If you know what you want, or haven't a clue where to start, I'm here as your guide, ally and champion all the way through the planning process and beyond! Check out what I'm up to on my Instagram @naturallty_connected_ceremonies or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/HumanistCeremoniesElizaJohnson
Eliza was an absolute gem as our humanist wedding celebrant! Her care and attention in crafting our ceremony made it truly special, bringing tears of joy to everyone's eyes. Her warm and humorous personality shone through, making the day even more memorable. She went above and beyond, even finding a drum at the last minute to guide our guests to the forest. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a unique and personalized wedding ceremony that truly reflects their individuality. Eliza made our day unforgettable, and we couldn't be happier with her services.

Eliza was the perfect Celebrant from the moment we met her we loved her. She is kind funny and engaging. We met with Eliza in person and on Zoom and over the months leading up to the wedding we were able to send on snippets that we thought would add to our ceremony in messages or voice notes. Eliza met with us the day before our ceremony and put us at ease. She made our ceremony so personal to us and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful and personal it was. We feel so lucky to have had Eliza on our special day. She really is fantastic at what she does. 1 millions stars🤩🤩🤩

We booked Eliza for our wedding in August 2023 in Cortijo Bravo, Vélez Málaga. Honestly, from start to finish, she was amazing. From the first meeting via video call, to the ceremony information gathering, we found Eliza to be easy to chat to, super friendly and genuine, and a bit of fun 🙂, which is exactly what we wanted for our day. She scripted a beautiful ceremony for us, full of personalisation and all of our guests had only good things to say about it, and Eliza. If you are looking for a celebrant who genuinely wants to make your day as special as you want it to be, look no further. Eliza is your celebrant.

Eliza was the celebrant for our rustic mountain villa wedding in Sayalonga in June. She was excellent! She really took the time to get to know us and our story to build a beautiful ceremony.
The ceremony was amazing and so personal! All our guests said how special it was and how great Eliza was! It was really nice to have such a special ceremony telling the story of how we met with the right balance of humour. We wouldn't change a thing! Thank you so much ❤️
— Abigail Phillips
Eliza was the celebrant for my sister's wedding I'm Nerja and did the most beautiful ceremony. She made such an effort to make the ceremony personalised and intimate. I would highly recommend!
— Alannagh O'Sullivan
Eliza was the celebrant for our wedding in Spain. She was absolutely fantastic and made our day very special. She went over and above expectations, and made us feel very at ease throughout. She mentored us through the whole process on the run up to the wedding and helped us with vows to make sure they were balanced. I would recommend Eliza to anyone getting married in the UK or Spain!
— Andrew McKelivie
How I would describe Eliza with 3 words ?
Friendly, funny, professional.
You don’t need to look for anyone else you just found your celebrant.
— Lubomir Hajas
We honestly cannot thank Eliza enough for creating and delivering the best ceremony for us on our wedding day.
Eliza really took the time to get to know us and we felt like the ceremony perfectly suited us and our story. By the wedding day we felt so comfortable with her and she allowed us to be ourselves completely, everything felt totally unique to us. Eliza even learnt and spoke some Slovak throughout the ceremony for my Husband’s friends and family and provided some Slovak guests who do not speak English the whole ceremony written down so that they could follow and understand.
So many guests complemented Eliza and the ceremony, saying it was the most heartfelt and real wedding they had attended. Eliza promised that she would represent us, make us (and guests) laugh and cry and boy did she deliver!
We honestly cannot recommend Eliza enough; we had the best day and Eliza was a huge part of that.
Much love K & L xxxx

My partner & I had Eliza as our humanist for our wedding but she was so much more than that. From the get go she made things super easy to follow, always catered to our needs and always wanted the best for our wedding day. Not only did she help with our vows but she also helped with the general ‘running’ of the day. All of our guests complimented us on Eliza as the ceremony was beautiful, sensitive yet had some fun Scottish character which was just what we were looking for. She told our story just how we wanted it & I would highly recommend!
— Anna Denobriga
After several years of delay due to you know what, we found Eliza to lead our long-awaited wedding ceremony. Gosh was it worth the wait and we can honestly say that the process itself was really enjoyable as a couple.
Eliza took the time to get to know us and we came up with some really touching ways to shape our anglo-german fusion wedding around our shared values. She even learned some simple German words for us like "das Hochzeitsherzausschneiden".
It really made our day and could not recommend her more highly. Thanks Eliza, we're so glad we found you 🥰❤️
— Jamie Salt
Eliza was an absolute dream to work with. We had a connection from the first time we meet via zoom 2 years before the wedding then to meet us in Spain a year before. Eliza’s communication throughout was amazing and she completely put us at ease with any questions we had. Eliza met us at the wedding location the day before for a run through also. The ceremony was just perfection with laughs, cries and everything in between. It was so personal and told our love story like we could have never imagined. We really could not have asked for a better day. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day we will cherish the memories for ever. Stephanie & Dermot

Eliza delivered the perfect ceremony for our small family wedding in Nerja. Everything was relaxed and seemless from the preparation video calls, through to meeting in person the day before the wedding and finally a meaningful and fun ceremony on the day. All of our guests enjoyed Eliza's natural and easygoing delivery with the personal touches from our story. We would highly recommend Eliza to anybody looking for the perfect celebrant for their big day. Thanks Eliza!
Aine and Tom, September 2023.

Eliza has been instrumental in the planning of our wedding next year, we really felt at ease going through our vision and wishes. We acknowledge we want something quite different to the norm and Eliza was on hand to lead us through the process. A huge thanks for making us feel relaxed and excited about it all
— Ange Morton
I can’t recommend Eliza enough. She lead us by the hand through every step of our preparations and our back garden ceremony. She got to know us and helped us make our important decisions and supported all of our ideas whilst carefully and kindly making expert suggestions where she knew what would work best. She is kind and warm and knows how important it is that this is absolutely your day to be designed how it best fits you. I was really, genuinely touched by parts of her script and she was a steady, friendly and calm presence on the day. Thank you Eliza!
— Sophie Holland
What can I say, Eliza is just amazing. Although we only had a very small intimate ceremony, this certainly did not reflect on the time and amount of work Eliza put into our special day. From Zoom meetings, whatsapp updates, to even taking on the role of wedding planner on the day, organising the photographer, the videographer, florist to printing out beautiful booklets with our vows on. We had great fun getting to know Eliza lots of laughs, she truly is a beautiful person inside and out. Our ceremony was so special and so personable we couldn't have wished for more. We would highly recommend Eliza if you want a very special ceremony. Sue & Paul.
— Sue Flood
Eliza was the perfect celebrant. Everything about our day was just right and the lovingly crafted and personal ceremony over which she presided was the icing on the (wedding) cake!
She spent many hours on zoom and over whatsapp helping us customise our day and tailor it truly to what we wanted. Eliza's advice and wonderful delivery on the day was an absolute godsend in a stressful and emotional time.
Would recommend Eliza to anyone who will listen and I think she converted a few of our friends to humanism on the way.
Thanks for everything!
— George Dimery
After we met Eliza for the first time, my wife and I instantly knew that she was the one to officiate our wedding. Due to the pandemic, we had to cancel the ceremony in the end, but nevertheless, Eliza was there for us the whole time. She was always patient, helpful, kind and insightful, helping us to organise our most special day.
— Panagotis Tsallos
We had only one idea, we wanted our ceremony on a boat; apart from that we really had no clue! The greatest/hardest thing about creating your own ceremony is that there are no signposts...Luckily we clicked with Eliza's easygoing attitude, and she put in the work researching some fantastic ideas that really made our ceremony special to us - we thank her for being so patient and helping our day go smoothly, adding a sense of fun and solemness at the perfect moments. And pulling it all together in such a small space? We often reminisce, it was everything we wanted and more. Thank you
