Hi, I'm Stu

Welcome to my wedding website. First let me offer you congratulations on your impending nuptials.

I hope I could be the right person for your special occasion. Partnership is a coming together of minds; it’s about being better than you can be on your own and it is an occasion that has been celebrated for thousands of years. It is right that we signify this moment, it is a huge and significant step in your lives. It allows you to confirm that special bond between you, to carve out a new niche and go out into the world as a team, rather than individuals.

I will work with you to find out exactly what you would like your ceremony to be. The colours, the music, the special gestures, the elements that will go together to make this particular occasion completely unique for you. We will take your treasured memories, funny stories and poignant moments, then combine them into an unforgettable mix.

Symbolic gestures can be incorporated within humanist weddings. These can be meaningful to the type of people you are: if you are sailors, we can use knots; if you’re into building, we can use bricks; if you’re project managers, we can use Gantt charts. You name it, we can personalise it. We can make it yours, we can make it treasured.

Whether your celebration will be a small one, with just a tight knit group of people around you, or whether it will be a big one in a big location, we can make all situations work. If you have specialist musical styles and requirements, we can weave them into the storyline, making it seamless, making a production worthy of cinema. Whether you want to do indoors or outdoors with particular types of clothing, with special sets or special settings, we will make it work for you. I’m as happy at the top of the mountain as I am in a cave; or sailing across the seven seas. We can use any and all of your passions to build something meaningful and true to you. Something that sings to your hearts, something original, something adventurous. Something for always.

I will find out all those secrets you would like to incorporate, and maybe some of the secrets you don’t, for that you can normally blame your nearest and dearest… to be fair, those are usually the bits the audience like the most too.

Throughout the process we can strive to make your ceremony sustainable and ecologically-friendly with zero waste; we can even utilise a circular economy system. Repurposing, recycling, upcycling, putting a special thing in a special place at a special time.
