Hi, I'm Tim

I am a humanist wedding celebrant based at the English/Welsh border just outside Monmouth. I am prepared to travel widely , but most of my wedding services are based around the Herford area and Welsh Borders.

I really enjoy writing wedding ceremonies and working closely with couples to tell their story and celebrate their love for each other. Generally , we make contact a year or so away from your date and then begin the amazing process of creating your ceremony! It is incredible how quickly the time passes! If you need it, I will coach and guide you all the way so that you truly express your feelings for each other. Don't be afraid to talk about love.

Come the day we will be prepared and ready to go!

I love the feel of a wedding and love to see the looks of joy and happiness on everyone's faces.

It is a very special thing when two people commit to each other for life.

I have received excellent feedback and lots of laughs, smiles and hugs from my couples.

Thank you so much for for a fantastic ceremony. Everybody loved it, especially my Dad, he hasn't stopped talking about it! He loved the humanist element and that is really something for my Dad.
