Hi, I'm Jen

I have the honour and privilege of creating and delivering unique, fully tailored, non-religious wedding and vow renewal ceremonies.

All Yours

My mission is to make sure your ceremony fits and feels exactly the way you want it, whether it be short or long, fun-filled or sentimental, quirky or traditional, understated or extravagant (or a mix of it all!), and you love every minute of it. In future years to come, my dream is that you will look back at that special day, and your unique ceremony, and remember it as one of the best days of your life.

One of the many great things about Humanists weddings is that they are completely flexible and allow you to choose what you want – the location, music, readings, symbolic acts, the vows you make, and if you want to include family and friends in the ceremony (or even four-legged friends!).

Making It Easy

I aim to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. I spend time getting to know you and what’s important to you, and to understand your vision for your special day. If needed, I am also here to support if you want some ideas or inspiration.

After meeting with you, I then weave together your personal stories, along with meaningful moments, into a bespoke ceremony script that is all your own. Once it is spot on, and we’re nearing the big day, I can join you for a rehearsal to make sure everything is clear and goes smoothly on the day. Then when the time has come, I will be there to guide and support you, and deliver your perfect ceremony in a warm, friendly, and open way, that celebrates the uniqueness of the two of you and your relationship.

Informal Chat

If you would like to have an informal (no obligation) chat, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We were so impressed by the emotion captured in our ceremony script and loved how Jen listened carefully to our funny stories and incorporated them in. She was easy to contact throughout and if we needed to change anything she was very accommodating, Our ceremony was held in a woodland and we added in a couple of our own twists including cutting a log to seal our vows and also a live band playing whilst I walked down the aisle, which Jen made sure was a highlight for us. All of our guests said how beautifully constructed the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed listening to our personalised story as told by Jen. Thank you again!
