Congratulations! This is a great time, planning and organising the big day. Don’t get stressed, get organised. You have probably found the perfect location for the wedding, the next bit is finding the right person to perform your ceremony.

If you want a truly unique and personalised ceremony where you make all the decisions, I would suggest a humanist ceremony is ideal for you. This is the most important day of your life, make it a day to remember. My job is to make sure your dream ceremony is all you hope for.

Humanist weddings allow you to design the ceremony you both want, I am here to help you do that, creating a truly bespoke non-religious ceremony that fits your personalities. This is all about you! I will also help you to choose readings, music, symbolic rituals or different ways to include those other important people or pets in your lives.

Thank you so much for your support, knowledge, confidence and experience in making our special day so unique to us and full of love!

— Callum & Kaye

Thank you for all your advice, laughs and hard work on planning and delivering our wedding day. You made us feel like we were in expert hands all along, whilst at the same time as though our wedding was the most special of all you had worked on - quite a skill! It has been lovely getting to know you over the past months and we are so grateful that you created such a fabulous energy to our day. Eimear & Gerard

As soon as we decided to get married, we knew that a humanist ceremony was the perfect fit for us. After a bit of research on the humanist website something about Lorraine just stood out to me, and trusting my intuition turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From our very first contact, I knew we had made the right choice. Lorraine showed a genuine interest in getting to know us, our story and what mattered most to us. She worked tirelessly to create a ceremony that was uniquely and beautifully tailored to us. The ceremony itself was simply unforgettable. Lorraine helped us weave in some of our more unconventional ideas in a creative and heartfelt way that felt so true to us. There were moments of tears, bursts of laughter, and even a few surprises that kept our guests completely engaged and entertained, all while beautifully emphasing the deeper meaning of love and marriage. Lorraine's celebrant skills are truly second to none, but what makes her even more special is the kind. warm and thoughtful person she is. We genuinely feel like we gained a friend through this experience, someone who made our wedding day even more meaningful. If you're considering a humanist ceremony, do not hesitate to book Lorraine. She will create a ceremony that is truly dream-worthy,
