Hello, I'm Kate - a wedding celebrant trained and accredited by Humanists UK. I create and conduct personalised non-religious weddings and vow renewal ceremonies that are deeply personal and truly reflect who you are as a couple.

What I offer

My see my celebrant role as a facilitator and guide: I'm here to understand your vision for your wedding, be a reliable support to you and make your ceremony *yours*

- Each ceremony, no matter how big or small, how simple or multi-layered will be given equal attention and care.

- I take care to research suggested music, poetry, readings, traditions, symbols, rituals (or even dances!) that you may like to incorporate.

- I’m happy to include Gaeilge/Irish or other languages

- And of course, I assist with organising legal side of things.

Each humanist wedding is each focused on creating something authentic and deeply meaningful to reflect the couple themselves. I work closely with every "to-be" to create bespoke humanist wedding ceremonies that celebrate your relationship and commitment to each other.
