Hello and welcome,
I’m Dawn Rees, a humanist celebrant based in Norfolk but very happy to travel in the name of love. And I do – all over the UK and Europe – but I am still awaiting that Tahiti gig! I absolutely love being a humanist celebrant – it is incredibly rewarding. I get to create unique non-religious ceremonies and share in some really special life moments. What’s not to love?
Choosing the right Celebrant……
If you’re looking for celebrant, you already know that you want something different, something quirky, or funny, or tender. You want a ceremony that reflects who you are – one where your guests recognise the story I will be telling throughout your ceremony.
I deliver tailor-made humanist ceremonies and mMy calling-card is to give your ideas life and make them sparkle.
Some of the best wedding planners in the business have introduced me to their clients and I have a long list of trusted and recommended suppliers too. I actively collaborate with suppliers so that together we deliver so much more. Take a look at my suppliers page.
If you are looking for an experienced humanist celebrant with an enviable reputation, frequently booked 24 months ahead, who has style and panache, lots of experience and who injects fun as well as contemplative and private moments into your day then get in touch.
What is a Humanist Ceremony?
A humanist ceremony is a non-religious or secular celebration that marks a significant life event or milestone. Typically conducted by a humanist celebrant like me, trained and accredited by Humanists UK to create and lead meaningful, personal ceremonies including; weddings, commitment ceremonies, transition ceremonies, renewals and naming ceremonies.
To be honest, a celebrant can help you celebrate any life event – and I have – so don’t be shy if you are looking for a coming-of-age celebration, a gender-affirmation or a special celebration for getting through tough times. And why not celebrate? You only have one life – it’s worth celebrating!


Why Choose a Humanist Ceremony?
Because you can choose someone who shares your values and approach to life, plus they’re incredibly personal, super flexible and memorably unique!
Whether you want a festival themed wedding in the woods, a ceremony on the beach or a simple quiet affair with a few special people – the great thing about a humanist ceremony is that anything is possible.
Maybe you want your friends or your children to play a central role or you want to ensure that your culture is slap bang in the middle of your day. Indoors, outdoors, at home or abroad – the possibilities are endless, as is the fun we can have whilst planning your celebration.
Why Me?
‘Loving’, ‘Laughing’, ‘Living’ reflect my fundamental values and approach to my work as a celebrant. I have written and delivered scripts for hundreds of ceremonies and whilst all are unique, they all celebrate individuality, humour, equality, fairness and love.
Personal, family and relationship milestones are important and how we celebrate them should be memorable. That’s my promise to you – a day you’ll remember, filled with love and laughter.

“Quite the most romantic wedding ceremony I’ve ever been to. The individual touches, their story, their personal vows, the setting – all tied into one amazing package. Perfect! Dawn has quite a presence and authority. The ceremony was incredibly well thought out and personal.”
