Story-led, beautifully crafted and heartfelt ceremonies to treasure forever…
Hi, I’m Megan. If you’re engaged and planning a wedding - congratulations!
As a humanist wedding celebrant, my job is to capture and celebrate the magic in every love story.
Stepping into moments of joy is an immense pleasure and privilege. It’s also an immense responsibility; a wedding ceremony is a profound and pivotal moment in a person’s life, so it needs to be just right.
I put my heart and soul into every ceremony and will be with you every step of the way as we bring your romantic vision to life. Your ceremony will be one of a kind, unforgettable and wonderfully authentic!
Why choose a humanist ceremony?
From the flowers to the cake, every element of your wedding day is tailor-made to reflect your unique vision, so why should the ceremony be any different? Call me biased, but the ceremony IS the main event. Never mind the seating plans or table decorations, the ceremony is where the magic happens — it’s the climactic moment where your life changes forever; it’s the beating heart and emotional core of a wedding.
Humanist ceremonies are non-religious, so there’s no rules or restrictions. You can express yourself and tell your love story in whichever way that feels right — from the simple and understated to the wild and exuberant. Every word is hand-crafted and every action is intentionally choreographed with you and your relationship in mind.
Humanist weddings are steeped in meaning because they are imbedded in your values and beliefs — on love, marriage, family, friendship, philosophy, your passions, hobbies/interests and beyond! Rather than a generic formality, they are enjoyable, memorable and life-affirming opportunities to capture and solidify what matters most, to reflect back on your relationship and set intentions for your future lives together.
Every aspect is completely customisable. For most people, planning a ceremony — the tone, feel, content and symbolism — is a deeply rewarding and creatively fulfilling experience. But, if all the choice feels overwhelming, don’t worry! As your celebrant my job is to help spark ideas and present you with a plethora of options, and to make suggestions if this is something you want.
You don't have to be a humanist to have a humanist wedding. Although my ceremonies are grounded in humanist principles (the profound importance of love and human connection in our lives, open-mindedness, care and compassion for all living things and a belief in equality and tolerance), they are suitable for anyone who doesn’t identify with any particular religion.

What is the difference between a humanist celebrant and a registrar?
A registrar is a local authority representative who is sent to conduct legally binding ceremonies and officially record them with the local council. Ceremonies have to conform to strict guidelines i.e. wording and length (max 15 minutes). Registrar-led ceremonies can only take place in licensed wedding venues.
In contrast, a humanist celebrant builds a close personal relationship with a couple. They work together to create a totally bespoke and deeply meaningful ceremony with the scope and flexibility to include anything they desire. Humanist ceremonies can also take place at any location. For example, as well as licensed wedding venues, they can be held on a clifftop, beach, back garden or in your favourite pub!
NB: Humanist ceremonies aren't yet legal in England and Wales, however in October 2025 the UK government announced its intention to make them legally recognised as part of wider marriage reform. A consultation is planned for 2026, with legislation to follow at a later date.
What can be included in a humanist ceremony?
Readings and poems delivered by myself, family or friends, live music (even singalongs!), symbolic rituals — the possibilities are endless, and that’s the beauty of a humanist ceremony. As your celebrant, my job is to advise and make suggestions should you wish me to. After a booking is made, I send couples a range of resources to spark ideas and provide inspiration.
What actually is humanism?
In its simplest terms, humanism is a non-religious philosophy based on liberal human values. It is about finding purpose, meaning and joy in a world without an after life, and using scientific reason, rational thinking and humanitarian principles to guide progress. We believe that you don’t need religion to lead an enriching and moral existence. Just being alive, connecting with others and experiencing the beauty of the natural world is magical enough, and inherently worthwhile.
Although my ceremonies are grounded in humanist principles (the profound importance of love and human connection in our lives, open-mindedness, care and compassion for all living things and a belief in equality and tolerance), they are suitable for anyone who doesn’t identify with any particular religion.
How long does a humanist ceremony last?
Unless your chosen venue/vendors have set a time limit, which rarely happens, the duration is completely up to you. However, in my experience, around 30 minutes is an ideal length of time.
How far in advance do I book you in?
In short, the longer the lead time the better as it increases the likelihood that i’ll be available on your chosen date, and makes the ceremony planning/crafting process as relaxed as possible. In saying that, if a tight turnaround is required, and I’m free on your chosen date, that’s completely fine too.
Religion is important to family members so can I include prayers/hymns etc?
Yes, humanist ceremonies are inclusive, and featuring religious content is absolutely fine so long as its framed/contextualised in an appropriate way and no acts of collective worship take place. Whatever the instance or concern, I’m sure we can find a solution that makes family members feel comfortable while not compromising your beliefs and values.
How are you accredited?
Being accredited with Humanists UK means that I have been through a rigorous training process. To maintain accreditation I’m required to develop my awareness and knowledge through ongoing CPD, alongside regular peer review. My work is covered by full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, I have an advanced DBS check and comply with the Data Protection Act.
I am also an accredited funeral celebrant and trained mentor, which allows me to guide and support trainees in my regional network.
How far will you travel?
Unless your chosen venue/vendors have set a time limit, which rarely happens, the duration is completely up to you. However, in my experience, around 30 minutes is an ideal length of time.
