Celebrant Of Curiosity

Absolutely! I really see humanist wedding celebrancy as my vocation and so I happily travel for the couples I work with. I create ceremonies throughout the UK, whether that's comparatively close to home in Kent and Devon or further afield in Wales, Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, or where I grew up in Yorkshire. I love travelling for couples who feel drawn to my curiosity-driven style. 

My fees are all inclusive, so there also aren't any additional costs for travel within the UK.

Yes! I'm very happy to travel internationally to create ceremonies abroad, and I can support couples with logistics and symbolic elements.

I am deeply involved and intentional in my approach to ceremony-crafting. I work with a small number of couples each year, because creating a truly personal ceremony takes time and I want to give each couple the kind of attention and creative space that simply isn't possible in any other way. 

During my own wedding planning I also found the amount of time I spent feeling like I should be doing something but not knowing what because all my suppliers took a deposit and then said 'okay, we'll be in touch 3 months before' very strange! I won't do that. I'm here as much or as little as you need me, every step of the way.

We'll meet and we'll chat, and we'll meet and we'll chat. 

Unlike most celebrants, I ask lots of questions but I don't use a 'questionnaire'. I don't believe that the stories which matter can be captured in tick-boxes or short written answers, and instead I'd much rather sit down and have proper meaningful conversations.

To support this I provide all of my couples with a gorgeous printed Almanac, a collection of activities, prompts, reflections, and adventures for you to explore together between our meetings. Couples often tell me this becomes one of their favourite parts of wedding planning. 

This high-touch process means that ceremonies are curated from a depth, nuance, and genuine connection, so that you feel like you're stepping into a world built entirely around you. 

I am a walking, talking, whimsical ceremony ideas machine! I love designing ceremonies around unusual objects, curiosities, scientific metaphors, literary references, pets (whoever said never work with children or animals had clearly never seen how cute they look in bow ties!). I've produced escape-room in an envelope games which needed solving to unlock the wedding favours. If there's something you'd like to try, even if it's just a vague idea, I can absolutely help gfind the shape of it for your ceremony. 

My fee includes all of our meetings, my bespoke celebrant's 'almanac' guide complete with prompts and activities to take the two of you through your wedding planning journey, support writing vows and selecting readings, ritual design, your bespoke ceremony script with any revisions you request, travel across the UK, ceremony and rehearsal delivery, ongoing support throughout planning, and a rehearsal if you'd like one!

My fees for ceremonies in 2027 and early-bird 2028 bookings are currently £1,250, although I have been known to waive my fee entirely for a very limited number of dates each year which are gorgeously weird and wonderful. 

Yes. As a queer celebrant it would be a little bit odd if I didn't! I joyfully create ceremonies for queer couples and celebrate all identities, relationships, and family structures. 

Truthfully, if you're even a little bit curious about a humanist ceremony you're already pretty interesting in my book! 

But to give you a bit more of an idea, the people who find my way to me are often: 

- Fellow lovers of a good rabbit hole, whether it's historical, or about folklore, science, art, boardgames! 

- Drawn to places filled with stories: museums, libraries, archives, old houses, botanical gardens. We'll get on well if you enjoy a weird or wonderful space. Somewhere to feel connected to the world around us and the long-line of people we share it with.

- Non-traditional in spirit, even if their wedding might look traditional on the surface.

-Thoughtful about their relationship, reflective, and excited to collaborate.

Yes! Personally, I didn't do my own 'big celebration' until 5 years after the registry office bit and so that spent a long time being called a vow 'newal'. I adore crafting vow renewals. Whether you want the focus on your journey, your growth, new promises for the years ahead, the significance of new friends and family in your lives, we can piece it all together! 

Yes! I create intimate elopments in Sussex, the South Downs, and UK-wide , with a focus on the significance of your day and the atmosphere you'd like to foster.
