Christine Berrisford - Bespoke Ceremonies Leeds

Christine is simply the best! She was absolutely brilliant from day one and made us feel totally comfortable with her right from the start. She is warm, funny and caring and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Since our wedding, loads of friends and family have siad to us how personal and touching the ceremony was and many have said it's the best ceremony they've ever been to. We cannot recommend Christine highly enough and we're looking forward to finding excuses to use her services again!

"This lady is awesome! Christine took so much time getting to know me and my now husband(!) and created a beautiful bespoke ceremony which reflected us as a couple perfectly. You can tell that she loves doing what she does and completely got into the spirit of our day (particularly singing our disco hymn- I would share a picture but I can’t work out how to do it on here!) Thank you Thank you Thank you" xxx

Christine was an absolutely incredible celebrant; she created a fun and relaxed atmosphere for our wedding. Christine worked hard to create a script that reflected our story and from our initial meetings it was clear the passion she has in being a celebrant. Christine's ability to put people at ease made us feel super confident that she would do a great job. Christine was extremely organised in the build up to our wedding which alleviated a lot of stress as we knew she had everything under control, so we could focus on other things! On the wedding day she put us at ease and conducted the ceremony with professionalism and caught the emotion of the day perfectly. Our guests also really enjoyed the service and many said it was one of the most enjoyable they had been to. We cannot praise Christine highly enough for the wonderful job she did and how she helped make our day even better, we would wholeheartedly recommend her for your ceremony".

We first saw Christine at a friend's naming ceremony. It wasn't really something we'd seen before, but we were impressed by the personal touches the ceremony had. When we started planning our wedding, we'd crossed off a religious ceremony, as neither of us follow a faith. That's when we thought back to Christine and her Humanist ceremony. We got in touch and organised a meet up over coffee, where she came across as organised and friendly. We instantly knew we wanted her to do the ceremony! We met up again a few month later to hammer out the details of the ceremony and she held our hands through all the planning, especially on details where we weren't sure how'd they'd play out! The ceremony came and went without a hitch; Christine even helped organise some of our less clued up family! Many people have told us how nice and "us" it was, which was down to Christine's hard work. Christine is a genuinely lovely human being; she is easy to get on with and I feel like I've known her a lot longer than I actually have!!

"The ceremony and the whole day were fantastic! We both had the best time ever and really enjoyed it. Thank you again for doing the ceremony and writing the script. It was really unique and very us and everyone loved it".

What a joy meeting and working with Christine! We knew as soon as we met her for the initial meeting that she was the one for us! She is fun, lively, energetic and really wanted to get to know us as individuals, but also as a couple. Christine was great at communicating with us, keeping us in the loop, letting us know what stages she was at, draft copies, and sending us lovely text messages wishing us luck on our 'legal' marriage day. On our big day Christine was awesome, so many of our friends and family commented that she was great, enthusiastic, funny, and the whole ceremony felt very genuine. We loved it and so did our guests. I would, without a doubt, totally recommend Christine to anyone looking for a humanist celebrant. A MASSIVE thank you Christine!

Christine was absolutely amazing. She helped make our wedding unique to others and perfect in so many ways. Even with the threat of rain during our outdoor ceremony she helped keep us calm! I can’t thank Christine enough for all that she did on the day, even posing with our cardboard bridesmaid! Thanks again Christine!! Will be recommending your services to any newly engaged couples I stumble across! x

What can we say - Christine was absolutely amazing!!!! From the first moment we met her for a chat and a cup of tea, to the day of the ceremony, everything has been fantastic! Christine is one of the loveliest people we have ever met and for her to do our ceremony was an honour. We knew from the beginning that a humanist ceremony is what we wanted, but what we had at the end exceeded our expectations. It was so personal, funny, romantic and relaxed! All of our guests absolutely loved it and thought she did an amazing job! Christine, it was an absolute pleasure to have you on the day and we can't thank you enough for making it so special for us. We will remember this ceremony forever. You put us at ease and made sure that everything ran smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing. THANK YOU!! We will recommend you to everyone that is planning a humanist ceremony and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. Lots of love, Andrew and Julia

Christine, we received and read your draft of our wedding script last night and cried our eyes out! Thank you so much. It's beautiful." x

Where do I begin? The start you say. Ok, well this weekend we headed to Leeds to celebrate the joint 30th birthday party for two of our closest friends. What prevailed was a surprise wedding, shocking all of the guests (including all family members). This involved a beautiful, bespoke Humanist ceremony with personalised (witty) vows and a reading which I was asked to deliver during the ceremony having never seen the beautiful narrative before. Congratulations Mrs and Mr Webster, a perfectly conceived wedding.
