Hi, I'm Julie

I am a humanist wedding celebrant conducting non-religious ceremonies in Cheshire and all over the UK. I've also been a TV Producer for years, producing entertainment shows, writing scripts and telling stories but there is no greater joy or privilege than being invited to write the love story of two people. Its the perfect way to use my skills to good effect by creating a meaningful, sincere and unique ceremony for you.

Your story is the most important thing and getting to know all about you. When and how did you meet? Where was your first date? And that first kiss, do you both remember it? And of course, who doesn’t love a proposal story, no matter when or where it happened?

A Humanist wedding is a wonderful, richly fulfilling experience that is personal to the two of you, whether it’s a simple and intimate gathering, with a few loved ones or a grand occasion with a long guest list, we’ll work together to find the right tone and feel for the day.

Your wedding can be WHEREVER you want it to be and HOWEVER you want it to be. There is no set formula. We will design the perfect ceremony that you will cherish for a lifetime and you can be sure of a smooth and stress-free experience.

And because it's important we get along, here's a few things about me that might help you decide if I'm the one for you:

I am a mother, I have a son and a daughter, who are the true loves of my life. They make me proud every day.

I am a dog lover, all dogs. Even the slobbery ones. 

I enjoy exercise, reformer Pilates, strength training, running and long walks

I love food and my weakness is chocolate, the good stuff though, 70% dark, hence the need for regular exercise!

I like to read and spend time with friends and watch a good TV drama

I am a music lover, my darling late husband, Graeme was the guitarist in Deacon Blue. Music was a shared passion, I love reminiscing whilst listening to the songs we both adored.

I am a dedicated Manchester United fan (don’t let that put you off, City, Liverpool, Arsenal fans) with a season ticket at Old Trafford in the Bobby Charlton stand alongside my parents. And I absolutely love it!

I’d like to think that my best traits are being thoughtful, kind and fiercely loyal.

I’ll also admit to being determined (yes, some might say stubborn) but it’s with the best of intentions, as I believe in doing the right thing.
