Hi, I'm Mark

My name is Mark and I am an experienced Lifecycle Celebrant accredited by Humanists UK. That means that I am trained and accredited in all three ceremony types: Naming Ceremonies, Weddings and Funerals.

I have a background in fiction writing, sports MCing, and radio presenting. I specialise in writing bespoke wedding ceremonies to suit any couple. If you want a warm wedding full of love that is tailored to you and your partner that will make your special day even more perfect, then a Humanist Ceremony conducted by me is what you’re looking for! I can cater for any ceremony that you might want from a traditional style to an outdoors wedding to a wedding in your favourite pub to a wedding as far out as you can imagine!

I believe that it is a privilege to conduct ceremonies for the milestones in people’s lives, and I am always more than happy to work closely with people to make sure that their ceremony is perfect for them.

I cannot recommend Mark enough! Mark made our wedding day totally perfect, and our ceremony was totally magical. Mark worked closely with our wedding coordinator on our day, and managed to make our wedding day stress free and full of love. Our ceremony captured our love story in the most perfect way, and Mark even had a hanky ready for my crying during our vows! If you want your wedding to be stress free, full of love and someone who will ensure you have lasting memories then choose Mark.

From the first time we met Mark we found him very friendly & approachable. We had no hesitation in choosing him as our celebrant. He has a great ability to put people at their ease. He guided us through our ceremony the whole way and felt that he understood us from the start. Everyone expressed how lovely the ceremony was, so relaxed and personal. Mark was fantastic when my 8 year old granddaughter burst into tears when it was her turn to do her short reading. He reassured her and then they read the words together. She says she wants to thank Mark ‘for taking away her shyness and making her feel better.
