If a conventional church wedding isn’t your bag, and you’re after something more personal and joyful than just a register office, you've come to the right place...
I may not be religious, but I’ve always been a massive fan of rituals and celebrations that mark the important moments in life with family and friends - and it doesn't get any bigger than your Big Day! Whether it's an intimate wedding in your front room, a romantic elopement in a woodland, or a grand do in a castle, I can work with you to create your bespoke dream ceremony: something old, something new, something different, something YOU.
As a humanist celebrant, there’s no one size fits all... I’ll consult with you and write and deliver an uplifting non-religious ceremony that’s a real one-off and expresses who you are as individuals and as a couple. I ensure that every detail is tailored to your preferences; you may choose to involve family and friends, music, readings, and symbolic rituals. It's your day, your way. And I promise it will make you and your guests laugh and cry (in a good way), will be remembered by everyone (for all the right reasons), and will never, ever, be boooooring!
I live in Crouch End / Hornsey in North London with my husband (who’s a musician), two teenagers and our cats Maude and Arthur. I'm unofficial social secretary for our friends, I run the girls’ section at a local cricket club and I'm an Arsenal FC season ticket holder (but don't let that put you off!) I'm happiest in nature: walking, wild swimming and wildflower spotting. I enjoy the theatre and exploring the city. I love food and read vegan cookbooks like they’re novels. I’m passionate about equality and inclusivity - and one of the brilliant things about Humanists UK is that it was always at the forefront of the campaign for equal marriage. I love being a wedding celebrant and I find that being a good one draws upon many of the same skills and passions as my career as a music and arts curator/producer in live events and television, for example getting to know people and telling their stories, and mining my library of literature and contact book of musicians.
Anyway, enough about me… I want to hear about you and your plans, so please do get in touch. We can arrange a (free) initial chat on the phone/online/in person and find out whether I am the right person to marry you!
