Hi, I'm Kimberley

A huge Congratulations on your engagement – I’m glad you’ve stumbled upon my page! Planning your wedding is such an exciting time and if I’m the right celebrant for you both, I’d love to be involved.

My view is that a wedding ceremony should be the most significant part of your wedding day but more often than not, this is hurried through so the real celebrations can begin. By having a Humanist ceremony, I will work with you to ensure that the ceremony itself is reflective of your relationship and your love. 

Getting to know the nearly-weds; finding out all about their relationship, what matters most to them and their hopes for their future is a vital part of the process and this often happens over a cuppa, a glass of wine or a meal – whatever suits the couple best. There’s usually lots of laughter and the odd tear as I hear all about your story and what makes you work so well together! This close collaboration with couples enables me to create a unique ceremony.

All of my ceremonies serve to authentically reflect and celebrate the couple’s values, stories and love, in a non-religious way that is completely unique to them. Making the service reflective of the couple is where the real fun begins and we can be as creative or traditional as you like. Symbolic acts, readings, music and cultural inclusions can be intertwined throughout. The joy is in the celebration of each couple’s relationship, creating a seamless and memorable occasion.

It’s only taken us 6 months to get this review written, fortunately for us Kim does not lack the ability to put into words our story. We are very lucky to call her our friend and to have her write and preform our 10 year wedding anniversary vow and promise renewal ceremony. About this time last year we decided we would like to celebrate our 10 year anniversary by redoing our vows. We loved our first wedding, however, us and the relationship have been on a journey, grown and we wanted to write new vows to reflect this. A huge part of us now is our son and we wanted him to be a big part of the vow renewal. Kim met with us, we had a coffee, she ask us about our story, key mile stones and gave us some homework. We spent time together writing what we wanted to say to each other and to your son. That was it, we trusted Kim to do the rest. The ceremony itself was on Ogmore beach there was just 5 of us, it was perfect. The tale of the rings, each ring representing an adventure in our journey. It couldn’t have been more fitting for us! We choose sand blending to represent each promise we made to each other, something our son loved helping with. Afterwards we had a paddle in the sea and ate doughnuts, just perfect there are no other words. Kim got us, she listened and she made it our story, what we wanted, what we needed. We can thank Kim enough for what she has given us.

We had a wonderful time performing music at an outdoor ceremony led by Kimberley in Builth Wells earlier this year. It was an incredibly beautiful and personal ceremony tailored perfectly for the couple, covering all important aspects of their life together and included some funny moments that everyone enjoyed. It was everything a wedding ceremony should be and we can’t recommend Kim enough.

From our first meeting with Kimberley, we were struck by her warm and easygoing (yet always professional) manner, and her amazing perceptiveness. We were blown away when we received the first draft of our ceremony - She had managed to articulate the essence of ‘us’ and lots of the sentiments that we wanted to share with our guests in such a beautiful way, and after just one evening together! Her words made us laugh, cringe, and shed a tear all at once, and her attention to detail was incredible. She seamlessly incorporated our chosen readings, and gave us guidance, encouragement and confidence in writing our own vows. She made sure the ceremony was ‘just right’ for us, and was a wonderful presence on our wedding day itself, making us feel comfortable and relaxed in her capable hands. The best testament we can give to her gift for this role is that a number of our guests commented that it felt like our ceremony had been led by a close friend, rather than someone we had met only a handful of times. We are so grateful to have found Kimberley and we recommend her wholeheartedly!

Kim was the celebrant at our son’s wedding. She delivered the most beautiful, emotional and composed service. Kim had previously taken the time to get to know both Brad and Carly so personally that you’d have thought she’d known them for years, which showed in the relaxed way it was conducted. A truly memorable day that we will treasure for ever. Thank you for a wonderful day . Highly recommend.

Kim was the celebrant at my daughter's wedding, she is absolutely delightful. She took the time to genuinely get to know my daughter and her fiancé prior to the wedding, which made her reading during the ceremony truly perfect. Her warm and friendly demeanor made it feel as if she had been a close, trusted friend to the couple for a long time. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Kim for any ceremony.

— Laura Jackson

Kim was amazing for our wedding, When we first sat down to discuss the ceremony she was professional but made us feel at ease with talking about our relationship. We were pleasantly surprised at much she was able to capture and write down in such a loving way. On the day on of the wedding Kim was as professional as even, Even going as far as printing out our vows which was unexpected but very much a nice touch and very welcomed. Everyone at the ceremony mentioned how warm and personal Kim's script was and that they enjoyed the story's that she was able to tell about me and my Wife. Highly recommended, thank you Kim!

— Mark Bennett

I attended my first humanist wedding where Kim was the celebrant. She was fantastic and made the service fun and engaging involving all the guests throughout and showed how much she cared about the happy couples day.

— Simon Dooley

We want to say a massive thank you for the ceremony. We had so many compliments and a lot of people said to us that they'd never seen that kind of humanist ceremony and loved how personal it was. We loved the process of getting the script, you made us feel really comfortable and we felt that it meant the script was really specific and touching. We also really appreciated the opportunity to edit it afterwards and loved the touches of asking the guests to make a vow and including our personal thoughts about the other. It was very reassuring to have you at the walk through with us so that you knew the venue and we appreciated your guidance on the day too, you were a massively reassuring presence. I thought your presentation was great. We loved the pace and the humour.

Kim delivered the most beautiful ceremony for our friends, it was personable, engaging and she took every step to ensure that everything was perfect for them! The ceremony was completely them and delivered wonderfully, you could tell she had really taken the time to cultivate each part with the bride and groom in mind and it really showed!

— sophie marston

We could not recommend Kim enough, from the moment we first sat down with her she was fantastic. Kim was ever the professional yet made us feel like we’d known her for years. She had loads of options and ideas for what our ceremony could look like and put together the perfect script telling our story from what felt like a 10 minute conversation. Kim captured us perfectly with her humour and sweet words. So many of our guests complimented her work and said it made them feel more part of the day from the stories and laughters Kim shared. Thank you Kim, we had the most amazing day and it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Attended a wedding and Kim was the celebrant delivering a humanist ceremony. It was just beautiful! Kim was extremely professional but also had a lovely way with words to make the ceremony feel really personal and not too formal!

— Stephanie Williams

I was best man at a wedding yesterday, Kim delivered the service for the happy couple. She was amazing, Kim told their story with such passion that you could picture the events she was recounting in your mind. She was funny, moving and passionate. It was the first Humanist wedding I've seen and it was really fantastic.
