As a humanist wedding celebrant based in Bristol and Somerset, I create warm, joyful and completely personalised wedding ceremonies for couples across the West Country and beyond. Whether you’re planning a relaxed outdoor celebration, a beautifully intimate gathering, or a bold and brilliant celebration full of personality, my role is to shape a ceremony that feels unmistakably you. Every ceremony I write begins with your story - who you are, how you met, what you love about one another, and the moments that define you. I blend sincerity, humour and heart to create a ceremony that is inclusive, meaningful and a genuine reflection of your relationship.
1From the moment you get in touch, I support you throughout every step of the journey. We begin with a friendly, no‑obligation chat so you can get a feel for who I am and how I work. If we decide we're the right match, we will meet (in person or online), and I’ll spend time getting to know you both through relaxed conversations and thoughtful questions. These chats help me understand your personalities, your values, and the atmosphere you want to create on your wedding day. Many couples tell me this part of the process becomes one of their favourite pre‑wedding experiences, as it gives them space to reflect on their relationship and the meaning behind their celebration.
Using everything you share, I craft a fully bespoke script that tells your story with care and creativity. You’ll always have the opportunity to read and review the ceremony draft — nothing is ever a surprise. You can edit, change, add, or remove anything you wish, ensuring the ceremony feels comfortable, authentic, and true to who you are. I can help you include symbolic elements such as handfasting, sharing cups, or bespoke rituals that hold meaning for your family, as well as readings, music, or contributions from loved ones. Whether you want something light‑hearted and uplifting or something deeply romantic and profound, we shape it all together.
On the day itself, I arrive early, check in with everyone involved, liaise with your coordinator or venue team, and make sure everything is set for a smooth, joyful ceremony. My delivery is warm, confident and engaging, bringing together your guests in laughter, emotion and shared celebration. I hold the space with calmness and energy, ensuring you feel relaxed, supported and fully present in the moment.

I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that is joyful, genuine and crafted with love. If you want a celebrant who brings warmth, creativity, professionalism and a good sense of humour, I would be absolutely delighted to help you create a ceremony you’ll remember forever. 💛
I am based in Bristol and Somerset, and cover the West Country and into Gloucestershire and South Wales. Please do ask though, if you’re further away, as I am sure something can be arranged.
Yes, I have public liability insurance through my association with the Humanists UK Celebrant Network.
Humanist weddings are still not legal in England and Wales, but Humanists UK is campaigning hard to change this. Currently you need to have a separate civil service to get the legalities out of the way. You can get officially married for as little as £58 in a registry office. Often couples will have their civil ceremony at a date of their choosing and then have their actual wedding in front of their friends and families in their humanist ceremony. Think of it like registering a birth of a baby- they aren’t born the day their parents register them, that’s just when they did the legal part!
You can have your ceremony wherever you choose- an established venue, a private home, a farmer’s field, the beach, a pub, a bar or a village hall. I am happy to discuss any option with you, and nowhere is off the table!
