Hi, I'm Hannah
It was at a friend's wedding that I first heard the word humanism, and where I first got to see just how personal and beautiful a humanist wedding ceremony could be. And I'm lucky enough to now be the one leading the ceremonies, and helping couples to create their very own expression of love for each other and share it with the world.
It's a real joy every time two people invite me to be a part of their special day, and I want to hear everything you have to say: about what you want from the ceremony, how you want it to feel, what you want it to mean. That's different for every couple, and listening to your story, and helping you craft something that only the two of you could create, is one of the best bits of my job
I will do everything in my power to make sure your wedding ceremony is the best part of your big day; and even it includes glowsticks and a DJ playing you down the aisle, or a brass band greeting you on exit, the words themselves will be what people remember, because they will be your words, capturing your love, and loyalty, and commitment to each other.
I'd love to hear your story, and see what we can create together!
We've had an amazing time, and you were a large part of that. We've had so many comments from our guests about what a very personal, lovely ceremony it was. It was just everything we wanted.
— Rick and Ruth
Hannah’s script for the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and something we will treasure for the rest of lives. Hannah put us all at ease and delivered the ceremony so professionally but yet so personally, capturing aspects of our relationship perfectly. I could not recommend Hannah enough, she was reliable, easy to chat to & a lovely person to have led our ceremony! All of our guests said how special the ceremony was, thank you again Hannah!

Do not hesitate - from the moment we met her Hannah was impeccable. She made an important day very special.
