Humanist Approach to Ceremonies
“You said take your time and talk to other celebrants too. That was generous. But we didn’t need to. Having talked to you we knew we just clicked with you. The laughter made all the difference!”
The Humanist Approach to Wedding Ceremonies
As a wedding celebrant my job is to give your ideas life and make them sparkle. All my tailor-made ceremonies are 100% unique to you.
The humanist approach looks at everything that makes you who you are and focuses on you as a unique individual/couple and your relationship with the world around you.
This is important when choosing a humanist wedding celebrant, because you can choose someone who shares your values and approach to life. The result is, that together you can create a ceremony that is incredibly personal, super flexible and memorably unique.
Laughing and having fun keeps me alive. Let’s face it – life can be so serious. I make it my mission to lighten it up a bit!
All About Connection
Finding out more about you is fun too. My conversations with couples happen in all sorts of places and in all sorts of ways, but a sense of humour is always present.
My humanist approach is to locate the ‘inner you’ – the you that your friends and family will recognise. I often ask couples if I can contact family and friends for stories and memories which helps to bring a ceremony to life.
I promise to tell your story. As I often say in the ceremony – “I don’t make this stuff up you know.”
Getting to know you
The best feedback I can get is when on the day a guest says to me “you really got them”.
The ability to be curious, to engage, to listen, to empathise, to ask the right questions (but not too many); the willingness to wait for your true story to reveal itself – and then the ability to write your ceremony and to engage your guests in what emerges in the telling, is what differentiates a good wedding celebrant from a great wedding celebrant!
When you meet one, you’ll know the difference.

How to make it legal
Find out the simplest and cheapest way to combine your bespoke humanist ceremony with the legal registrar part.
Together we create a memorable day.
I find out more about you, we talk lots, you tell me about what love means to you – it might be this person, or your child, your family or your plans.
Whatever love means to you, we put a spotlight on it. It becomes the main feature of your ceremony.
If you are looking for a celebrant who takes time to get to know you both, who knows how to laugh, and who you can trust – then get in touch and let’s start creating your perfect ceremony.
