“What does that mean exactly?” is often the first response when people ask what a Humanist celebrant does. With more and more people wanting choices when they marry, when I explain the limitless options that are available to them, they become excited and curious to learn more, with conversation often including, “What an amazing job that must be?”. And it absolutely is.
As an accredited Humanist Celebrant, it is my privilege to work with you to create, from scratch, and conduct your unique non-religious wedding ceremony, or renewal of vows ceremony.
Having spent several years understanding the Learning and Development needs of clients in the business world, I have enhanced my communication skills to connect with my couples and understand what they really want from their ceremony, to ensure that when I deliver it, it tells their story, and their hopes for the future, in a way that best suits them, with my energy and authenticity. It really is truly such an honour, and it is great fun too.
Humanist ceremonies can include all that you desire. As unique as you, each ceremony is as individual as you are and the possibilities are endless.
My role is to work closely with you to craft your bespoke ceremony, one that celebrates your relationship and your commitment. Your ceremony can tell your love story (if you wish), and can include contributions from your friends and family, as well as surprise elements. You or your guests may shed happy and sad tears during your ceremony. It will reflect you as a couple, your personalities and interests. Your ceremony will incorporate any personal elements you choose, including readings, music or singing from your guests, and customs to make the day unforgettable and completely yours.
I am truly inclusive and respectful of all those I work with, so I welcome if you want to break with tradition and have flower boys scatter petals (or beer boys hand out bottles) as you walk up the aisle. Or if you opt to have a close friend from your open lifestyle club say a few words, have an owl as your ring bearer, or have an all-female sea-shanty crew sing as you walk up the aisle, I am happy to welcome any fanciful ideas and can work with you to bring these to life.
Ultimately, your ceremony can be as individual, authentic and as deeply meaningful as you desire. Guiding and supporting you at every stage of our relationship, reassuring you and helping ensure everything related to your ceremony happens exactly as it should, is all part of
