Hi, I'm Emily

"Thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts for doing such a wonderful job. We and all our guests kept saying to each other how special the ceremony was and how personal it felt, you really nailed it. I think it ended up being the highlight of our day"

Hello, I’m Emily, a celebrant accredited by Humanists UK. I have the great privilege of creating and conducting personalised and unique weddings.

As a person without religion (not an anti-religious person), and someone who looks to scientific evidence and reason to make sense of the world, I am proud to be a humanist.  I guess my tag line (without sounding too self-righteous, I hope) would be that I live life as wholly, kindly and bravely as I can, and I accept my responsibility for leaving the world better than I found it.

I blumming love a good wedding, and I really want yours to be magical, meaningful and to perfectly reflect you both - it really matters.

From small and intimate, to huge shenanigans, from wild and rustic outdoors to a razzle and dazzle venue; Wherever and however you chose to get married (or to renew your vows), my job, and my pleasure, is to help you to create a unique and beautiful ceremony that is absolutely you.  

Please do contact me if you are looking for a professional celebrant to conduct your wedding - I'd love to hear from you and I’m happy to have a conversation in the first instance to explain more about what I do and how I work.
