Hi, I'm Helen
I hear you are tying the knot. Congratulations! Well, I might be just who you need.
I’m a Humanists UK accredited celebrant. What is that, you may well ask? Well, think of me as a vicar but without the dog collar, oh, and the religion.
My role as your celebrant will be to produce a bespoke ceremony that is totally unique and completely tailored to you. If you want traditional or bonkers, or a mixture of both, then I’ll accommodate your wishes—unless it’s jumping out of a plane or swimming with sharks, then maybe not. Whether you go big, small, indoors, outdoors, the local pub, a stately home, field or a forest, the choice is yours. Unlike other ceremonies, there are no set words, no cut and paste, insert name here. I will be guided by you and your wishes.
As a Humanists UK celebrant, I believe in promoting tolerance, rational thinking, freedom of choice, and kindness. That is why a Humanist ceremony will be a very inclusive, joyous occasion, regardless of your race, religious beliefs, gender, or sexuality.
I’m a good listener; I want to find out all about you so that your story can be woven into your ceremony. I care about people, and I’m kind. I will guide you through each stage of the process, make suggestions if you need ideas, and create a script that will encapsulate everything you want on your special day, with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.
