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 and presenting personalised naming ceremonies to welcome a new baby into the world. I can cater for any ceremony that you might want from an outdoor celebration to a huge party at favourite venue to an intimate ceremony in your kitchen!

I am always more than happy to work closely with people to make sure that their ceremony is perfect for them.

Thank you to Mark for a wonderful Naming Ceremony for our daughter. He did an excellent job of capturing and celebrating the personality of our little girl. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted.

HUMANIST CEREMONIES™ is the network of more than 550 celebrants, trained by national charity Humanists UK to a gold standard to provide memorable and meaningful humanist ceremonies to non-religious people. Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem. We all pay a monthly fee to Humanists UK to further support the work of the charity, and are part of a regional network for like-minded celebrants for support and learning.

Humanist naming ceremonies

A humanist naming ceremony is a joyous event, and the perfect opportunity to gather friends and family to welcome your child into the world, with no reference to religion. It focuses on the child, their future and the circle of love and support around them, offering a sincere and personal alternative to a christening or other religious ceremony.
