Hi, I'm Emma

Hello and welcome ! I'm a humanist wedding celebrant based in Weymouth and I have been an accredited wedding celebrant with Humanists UK since 2011. I’ve now taken well over a hundred ceremonies - I just LOVE weddings ! I’m also a mentor and a Humanists UK trainer, teaching people how to become wedding celebrants on our acclaimed courses.

I'm here to understand and deliver exactly the wedding ceremony you have in mind. To help you get the bespoke ceremony that’s perfect for you, I write the ceremony script strictly according to your wishes and can suggest ideas for the vows, exchange of rings wording, poetry, readings, additional symbolic acts (hand fasting with ribbons, for example) and music. Above all, you can relax in the knowledge that your wedding ceremony will be full of love, warmth and very importantly, a true reflection of who you are as a couple. No two ceremonies are ever the same - yours will be unique to you.

I have a degree in French and Spanish, so I can take parts of the ceremony in Spanish, French and German and I am equally willing to learn phrases in other languages if you have any guests who might appreciate this. I lived in London in my 20s and 30s, then got married and came to live by the sea in 2006 . My professional background has been in advertising, corporate event organising and artiste representation in the music industry. As a result, I'm very organised, professional, calm and have a great attention to detail.

The whole process was amazing, from meeting you … to walking down the aisle . I can’t tell you how relieved I was to have such a friendly,warm person marrying us.

We just wanted to say again, thank you SO MUCH for the most beautiful ceremony on 26th May. We both loved it so much and you made it so special for us. We also had so many of our guests saying how much of a lovely presence you have and that it was a touching and personal service.

— Julia & Matt

THANK YOU! It was wonderful. Better than our wildest dreams. The ceremony was absolutely magical. We spoke with so many of our family and friends afterwards, and the response was universal – by parts beautiful, moving, uplifting, sincere and wonderfully personal

— Richard & Paul

Your organisation, professionalism and lovely nature was so key to it all, you made the whole process, enjoyable and smooth and stress free. We don’t have enough words to thank you but we are so glad we found you and could work alongside you for one of the most important moments in our lives so far.

— Sophie & José
