Hi, I'm Linda
I'm a big believer in choice and want to help you to have the day that is exactly right for you. I'm a wedding celebrant accredited by Humanists UK and create, design and deliver bespoke wedding ceremonies that reflect the two of you.
I create ceremonies that are relaxed, fun and sentimental and aim to capture not only the big milestones of your story but also celebrate the little everyday moments that make the two of you, you. Within your ceremony you get choice around each and every moment, you can keep the traditions that you like, throw out the ones that don't resonate with you or even create brand new ones of your own. That said, I won't just abandon you without any support, I'm here to help guide you where you need it and as I get to know you I love to offer in creative ideas to make sure your ceremony feels unique to you! I also blummin' love a wedding, so more than happy to help talk through any other elements of your day too!
We'll meet as many times as we need to throughout the process, often in a lovely local cafe, bar or your even your living room (video calls, of course, absolutely fine too!), stay in close contact via email/whatsapp in the lead up and on the day you'll be safe in the knowledge that I am all yours. I'll only ever do one ceremony in a day, I'll arrive in plenty of time to help get things set up, hand you a glass of water before you knew you were thirsty and to check-in with anyone who might be involved in the ceremony. You'll get the biggest double hug and the warmest congratulations when everything is finished and then I'll leave you to the rest of your day to continue celebrating with your favourite people.
I absolutely love what I do and it is a complete honour each and every time a couple choose me to be their celebrant. If you like what you've heard so far, please do have a look at my website, check out my instagram profile and feel free to get in touch to ask any questions that you might have at all.
Can't wait to meet you!
Linda is just wonderful!
From our initial meeting where Linda asked us all about our story, we felt completely at ease and had so much fun - Linda came up with lots of little ideas for the ceremony which made it super special and personal to us. On the day, Linda was a calming, reassuring presence and delivered our ceremony beautifully - so many guests complimented us (and her!) on how amazing it was.
We would 100% recommend using Linda as your wedding celebrant! ❤️

We just wanted to say a huge thanks to Linda for making our wedding everything we'd hoped for! From the first meeting, right through to the day Linda was brilliant. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and put together a perfect ceremony.

Linda is incredible. From talking us through the whole process from the very beginning, to the check ins as the big day drew closer, to making us feel relaxed on the day and of course writing an amazing script for the ceremony. Lots of guests were raving about the ceremony and Linda afterwards. Thank you!!

In September 2019 we chose Linda to be our celebrant for our wedding. We were interested in a humanist ceremony because neither of us is religious, but we wanted something more personal and meaningful than the wording of a civil registration. We also love the outdoors and met running, so we were ideally wanting to get married outdoors (weather permitting!) and we wanted to have a sand blending service.
Linda was warm, organised and engaging throughout our entire wedding planning process. She was really flexible as to meeting up to discuss the ceremony and prompt at giving us a draft script. Linda worked closely with us to refine the script so that it was just right for us and showed us a really personlised approach.
The day before the wedding, Linda made herself available to do a walk through of all the details of the service and was great at putting us both at ease as the wedding nerves started to kick in.
On the day of our wedding we were blessed with some of the best late summer sunshine Yorkshire has to offer and we had an amazing ceremony in the warm sunshine. Everything went perfectly to plan and our guests afterwards complimented us on how much they enjoyed the original, relaxed and personal ceremony.
We couldn't be happier with how everything went and I can't recommend Linda highly enough as a celebrant for your wedding who listens and responds to exactly how you want your special day to proceed. She also followed up with a lovely gift with the printed script as a lovely memento of our day.
Thank you so much Linda.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Linda! We received so many compliments and they all said this was the best ceremony they have ever been to! Linda has made everything so special just for us, and has been so patient with us when we wanted the story to be edited a couple of times. The story was very beautifully written and made us all cry. Thank you so much, Linda. And thank you for all the tips you gave and the card as well. The whole ceremony was just perfect.

It is hard to put into words how fantastic Linda is. We knew we wanted a humanist wedding but struggled at first to find a celebrant who made us both feel completely at ease, but the moment Linda showed up on camera over our initial meeting we knew she was the person to do our wedding.
Not only is she incredibly empathetic but she has a cracking sense of humour, and the ability to be a comforting and supportive presence through what can be a stressful time.
On the day she was an brilliant presenter and leader, she even made the venue staff tear up a little!
I cannot recommend her highly enough and her passion for her work makes the whole process just delightful.
Thank you Linda 💜💜
