Hi, I'm Helen

You're planning a wedding! Hooray!

Perhaps you already have a moodboard, a shortlist of cake flavours and a down-to-the-minute schedule. Perhaps not. Either way, I can't wait to hear from you.

My job (and I take it very seriously) is to tell your story. So you won't find any tired platitudes about marriage here. Instead, I'll make your story the star of the show. Together, we can craft a ceremony that has your guests laughing and/or crying, but most of all nodding in recognition - something that feels totally YOU.

Bring me your pet names for each other, your most on-brand stories, and the moment you knew you'd met a main character in the rest of your life.

I'll weave them into a ceremony to remember, and a fitting start to your big day.

Drop me a line if that sounds like something you'd want, or check out my Instagram for wedding inspiration and what I'm up to right now.

HUMANIST CEREMONIES™ is the network of more than 550 celebrants, trained by national charity Humanists UK to a gold standard to provide memorable and meaningful humanist ceremonies to non-religious people. Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem. We all pay a monthly fee to Humanists UK to further support the work of the charity, and are part of a regional network for like-minded celebrants for support and learning.

Humanist weddings

A humanist wedding ceremony is a wonderful option to celebrate your wedding in the way you choose: without religion but with meaning, and totally true to the two of you. They are uplifting and heartwarming occasions, personal to each couple to reflect your personalities and interests, and your love story. Sincere and significant, your ceremony will be crafted to create an occasion which is unique and fitting to you both.
