Your Day, Your Way!

“Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity” – Khalil Gibran a Lebanese philosopher

Romantic, beautiful, fun, elegant or even outrageous and quirky – it is all possible with a Humanist Celebrant by your side.

My promise to you is a beautiful ceremony that will light up your special day and the start of your new life together. Let’s just take the stress out of it all with a simple process and enjoy thinking about the important stuff – your love story and how you want to express it!

Whether deep in the woods, standing in the waves on a sun-drenched beach, in your garden, by a bedside, or a more formal gathering in a large elegant venue I am there for you and don’t worry about your vows – we can write them together or you can bring your own.

I look forward to raising a glass to every Mr & Mrs, Mrs & Mrs or Mr & Mr – be it a first wedding, a second or a third! Or maybe it’s just time to relive memories of your special day with a renewal of vows or even a celebration to bring two new families together.  

I know it is really important to find the right person who you can relax with and enjoy the ride so don’t hesitate to be in touch if you would like a chat and we can see where we go from there.

How it works:

Phone Call

Initial Meeting – in person or zoom

An Agreement and 1/3 deposit

Second meeting to plan the ceremony

Drafting the ceremony

Agreeing the ceremony

Final payment

Maybe a rehearsal then The BIG DAY!

Mini-me: Music, dancing and going to festivals are a must. Artistic, creative – love writing your wedding stories, experienced public speaker and event host. Enjoy meeting people and hearing about their lives across all cultures, all genders & identities.  I cycle, do yoga, play sport, walk the dog, watch films, read in between hanging out with those who bring me joy - my grandchildren, my family and friends.

Thank you for being part of our day. We absolutely loved the ceremony and have had so many compliments on how personal it was.

Liz was great at creating a ceremony that was unique to us. She understood what we wanted and put together something that we both loved. Would highly recommend"
