I am a Humanist celebrant creating bespoke ceremonies with heart from the start

05/09/2026

Getting an enquiry is lovely but meeting couples for the first time is EVERYTHING.

💗😃💗😃💗😃

Whether it’s on Zoom or IRL, I love meeting the faces and voices behind the enquiries - hearing about the hopes and dreams, the challenges and worries, the visions and ideas. It’s such a gift to get to know a couple in this way and exciting to think about what could lay ahead if we all decide to work together to make their dream ceremony come true.

💗😃💗😃💗😃

If you’d like to hear from me about all the amazing ways we can make your ceremony beautifully and authentically YOURS, then drop me a DM. I honestly can’t wait to hear from you.

A few weekends ago I had the most wonderful experience marrying Adam & Alice at Higher Eggbeer Farm near Exeter.

💍💐🥂💍💐🥂

It was just before the heat wave started so the weather was clement and beautiful for this stunning outdoor ceremony. Surrounded by the rolling hills of South Devon and so much love that hearts were bursting everywhere, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

💍💐🥂💍💐🥂

Working with Adam & Alice was a joy from start to finish and I knew we were a well-suited team as soon as we first met. With their natural creativity and values that aligned beautifully with Humanism, it made for a joyful ceremony that they have since described as ‘flawless’, ‘brilliant & wonderful’ and ‘the most special day of our lives.’

💍💐🥂💍💐🥂

Watch this space for some beautiful photos and videos taken by Me on the Hill and Photography. Can’t wait for those!

💍💐🥂💍💐🥂

Huge congratulations to Adam & Alice and thank you for trusting me with your wedding ceremony!

In my experience, wedding celebrants are a pretty well presented bunch but that doesn’t stop most of us from writing our wedding scripts in our pyjamas and doing the odd Zoom call in our trackies.

However, one of my FAVOURITE parts of prepping for a wedding is getting dolled up and reminding myself I can still look fabulous. Because the better I feel in myself, the more brilliant your wedding ceremony is going to be.

And by the way, and did you know that you designed the PERFECT dress for wedding celebrants? Look at those love hearts sparkle!

Last weekend I had the absolute honour of marrying a gorgeous couple called Sarah and Graydon.

💐💍🥂💐💍🥂

A bright and sunny day at Topsham Brewery in Exeter made for the most beautiful day filled with smiling humans, party-fuelled energy and love from all angles.

💐💍🥂💐💍🥂

I adored telling Sarah & Graydon’s love story during their bespoke ceremony and making sure they got the fun, joyful and humorous experience they wanted. I came away on such a high so I can’t imagine how they felt.

💐💍🥂💐💍🥂

Watch this space for some brilliant photos taken by Alex Beckett and huge thanks to Stephen Simmons for being such a brilliant emcee throughout the day.

💐💍🥂💐💍🥂

Huge congratulations to new Mr & Mrs Rigby and thank you for trusting me with your ceremony!

Tomorrow is a VERY big day for Sarah Caine & Graydon Rigby and I couldn’t be more excited for them.

💖💍💖💍💖💍

The day before a wedding is SUCH an exciting part of being a celebrant - the months of hard work are all coming to fruition and even if you’re not quite in the wedding venue yet, you can feel some sort of special magic in the air.

💖💍💖💍💖💍

Before we dive in, I want to take a second to wish Sarah & Graydon the most beautiful wedding day of their dreams and remind them to keep stopping to take a breath, look around, and really feel the love that will be in the room for them.

💖💍💖💍💖💍

See you at Topsham Brewery tomorrow!!! I’ll be the one dressed in love hearts. 💖💖💖💖

(Well, I did say I do ‘ceremonies with heart from the start’) 😉

It’s about time I got a new ceremony script stand and I have to say I am delighted with this one!

💍💖💐💍💖💐

My first wedding for the season is in a little over week and this little beauty will look great with a few wedding decor touches. Sarah Caine - keep some crochet aside for me!

💍💖💐💍💖💐

Watch this space for wedding sharing a plenty!

It’s sometimes a nail-biting moment when I send the first draft of a ceremony script to a couple. Have I really understood who they are? Have we had enough connective chats? Have they felt comfortable enough to be themselves with me? Have I, essentially, got it?

📄💖📄💖📄💖📄

Of course, there’s always time for edits and adjustments - that’s just part of the process - but sending the first draft is a special moment. It’s nerve-wracking but also very exciting as I wonder, ‘What will their response be?’

📄💖📄💖📄💖📄

I usually share my scripts on Google Docs, which means we can all pitch in and send each other comments. When this comment popped up for after a particular couple’s first reading, it gave me that wonderfully tingly celebrant feeling. I’m on the right track. We all ‘get’ each other. It’s going to be GORGEOUS.

📄💖📄💖📄💖📄

This wedding is towards the end of June and I absolutely cannot wait for it. Hopefully photos will follow but in the meantime, if you’re looking for someone to get to know the REAL you and write a wedding script that will reflect your absolute awesomeness as a couple, then you know what to do. 😉😘

Oh how I love a wedding venue visit!

💍💖🍻💍💖🍻

This week I was lucky enough to visit the function rooms of Topsham Brewery where I’ll be marrying the brilliant Sarah and Graydon in a few weeks time.

💍💖🍻💍💖🍻

I’ve known Sarah since our school and college days where we were addicted to romantic literature and love poems. And here we are, decades later, planning her wedding ceremony and gasping at the absolute perfection of her chosen venue.

💍💖🍻💍💖🍻

These venue visits are so important to me as a celebrant because they help me feel and visualise the ceremony as well as watch couples come alive for all the reasons they chose it. It’s like magic in action and gives me the fullest confidence that the ceremony will be everything they dreamed of.

💍💖🍻💍💖🍻

Watch this space for photos of this gorgeous ceremony in the weeks to come. In the meantime, if you’re planning a wedding and looking for a celebrant that will bring warmth, magic and fun to your ceremony, maybe drop me a line: [email protected]

When you’re trying to choose a celebrant for your wedding, it can be so hard to tell anything about a person simply by their website and a couple of recommendations. That’s why I put together this post of things I’d love you to know about me, before reaching out and potentially booking me for your wedding.

💍💖✨💍💖✨

Obviously there’s a ton more I could have shared like my tendency to hug trees, my love of live music and the fact that I’d choose a sea-salt chocolate bar over a Dairy Milk. But at least this gives you a head start and gives you a feel for what I’m all about.

💍💖✨💍💖✨

I’m always up for a free, no-strings initial chat. I still have some availability this year and quite a bit for 2027 - can’t wait to hear from you! 😃

When a wedding guest exclaims feedback like this, you know you’ve got something right.

💍✨🥂💖💍✨🥂💖

To me, each of the couples I work with are special for an entire team of different reasons - but what they do have in common is that they deserve a ceremony that truly reflects their own personalities, values and love story.

💍✨🥂💖💍✨🥂💖

That’s why I work really hard on creating a script that befits them. A script that harnesses all their joy, all their dreams and all their love so that family and friends feel it down to their bones. Getting to know each couple properly so that my creative writing writing skills can do their thing, is an absolute joy and I feel honoured every single time.

💍✨🥂💖💍✨🥂💖

So thank you to any guests who notice that and make sure I know about it - you rock!
