Hi, I'm Philippa

Hello

I’m Pip, a humanist celebrant dubbed the wedding fairy by my couples.

I'll be there to support you in all things wedding from the day you book me to the moment you say 'I do'.

I focus on creating beautiful, humour-filled and relaxed wedding ceremonies for couples who want to step away from the ordinary. I put you, your story and values at the heart of your ceremony. Choose me and you are choosing a personal, professional and relaxed ceremony that puts you first.

I’m creative, calm and an open book, a stickler for detail and a lover of words; combined these characteristics work pretty well in this industry!

​

"I've personally worked in the wedding industry for 10 years +, and Pip is a special one!"

— Katie & Dave

'For us there was one celebrant that really stood out because of her warmth, calmness, humour and understanding and that was Pip.’ 

—  Jonathan & Vincent

'One friend, who openly states that he hates weddings, even said ‘why can’t all wedding ceremonies be like that?!'

— Becky & James

'... our guests were just blown away by how personal it was. Some said it was the best service they had ever been to ...'

— Elena & Michael

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 weddings

A humanist wedding ceremony is a wonderful option to celebrate your wedding in the way you choose: without religion but with meaning, and totally true to the two of you. They are uplifting and heartwarming occasions, personal to each couple to reflect your personalities and interests, and your love story. Sincere and significant, your ceremony will be crafted to create an occasion which is unique and fitting to you both.
