“Helen writes with passion and extraordinary clarity, composing exactly the right wedding for her couple.”

Thanks for finding me and, since you must be thinking of getting married, congratulations! If you’re looking to create a uniquely personal wedding, wedding affirmation or vow renewal ceremony that reflects who you are and celebrates an important moment in the one life we have – then we’re on the same page and I’d love to work with you.

Words are my passion and joy: reading, writing, literature – you name it, I love it. If you would like support to find the right words, it would be my pleasure to help you. It turns out all those hours spent reading had a purpose – to help find the right readings for couples, some well known, many unusual and telling. I can’t explain how it works, but somehow this facility with words helps me to identify or create a symbolic gesture that expresses the character of a couple.

I’m often asked, ‘What’s in a humanist wedding ceremony?’ The answer is anything you like (so long as it’s not religious – that’s already well provided for), and anywhere you like. Each humanist wedding is different, because what matters most to each couple is different. I work with you to understand you, what brought you to this point, and your hopes for the future, so that your wedding ceremony reflects your story.

I’m based in SW London but more than happy to travel, including abroad where permitted by current Covid regulations, and am also happy to assist with online ceremonies. If you want to ask any questions, or like what you hear and would like to find out more about how I can help you to create a truly personal, meaningful ceremony, please get in touch using the contact details to the right – I’d love to meet you.

I’m trained, accredited and insured by Humanists UK.
