An experienced humanist celebrant based near Chester, I relish being involved in ceremonies celebrating love.
Whether your relationship is new or if you have been together for some time, your Wedding, Vow Renewal or Commitment Ceremony is about your love and commitment to each other - they can be held practically anywhere.
My “way” is to work with you and really try and reflect your individual and melded personalities and values and help you express yourselves and share your feelings for each other with your guests.
With a casual relaxed approach, I’d like to meet with you both, learn something of your story and understand what sort of celebration you are looking for. I’ll use my experience to help you consider ways to achieve the feeling you would like. Together we can weave a ceremony that is memorable, full of meaning and emotion and fun!
We can discuss the inclusion of music, poetry or readings, how others get involved, your vows to each other and what symbolic actions you’d like to include. All the while we’ll look to ensure your celebration is warm, intimate, meaningful and fun.
There are no rules - your ceremony can be tailored to truly reflect who you are. Your ceremony might be short or long, follow quite a traditional structure or forge a different path.
I'll write a script for your ceremony and share this with you to make sure you are happy with everything. I'll lead your ceremony on the day, liaising with others who play a part and try and ensure you enjoy it as much as your guests.
About Me
I’m passionate and enthusiastic about life and people. I genuinely believe that we’re all connected in some way to each other and ultimately to all life.
My partner, children and their families and latterly grandchildren too, always help remind me how lucky I am to have them in my life!
I’ve had a varied working life – working with folk in industrial, professional, commercial, care and charitable settings.
I enjoy art, reading and writing, music, gardening, walking and travel. I’ve helped create and deliver courses and presentations for schools and other organisations to help look at life and living.
My work as a celebrant allows me to meet so many people and be involved in some aspect of their lives in one way or another - learn of other’s lives – share emotions. I always gain something from meeting others - hopefully I get to help people myself in some small way.
