About Charmian Todd
London Wedding Celebrant – part of Humanist UK’s trusted network of accredited Wedding Celebrants
Hi, I’m Charmian
A very warm welcome to you. My name is unusual. It’s of ancient Greek origin, pronounced “shaar-mee-uhn‘‘ and means ‘joy/delight’
Humanist wedding ceremonies are non-religious, inclusive, bespoke and meaningful. No two Humanist weddings are the same. Each ceremony reflects your values, personalities and style
As a humanist wedding celebrant I offer you encouragement, inspiration, support and guidance. It’s a wonderful mixture of cheerleading, facilitation, pragmatism and storytelling. I’ll write and deliver a uniquely personalised ceremony that’s all about you, is full of fun, laughter and some happy tears too
Celebrating love, you do you Humanism is inclusive, embraces reason, empathy and respect for others. I welcome couples of any gender identity, sexual orientation and ethnicity/heritage: First timers, blended families, I look forward to marrying you all!
Your day is my priority. I only ever conduct one wedding a day
Your peeps a select few or 100+ guests what matters is celebrating with whoever is important to you
Your vibe You aren’t restricted to licensed venues, you choose your special place. Humanist weddings have been held in:
an elegant villa, chic château, fairy tale castle, plush hotel, eco-friendly wedding venue
open air ceremonies in a beautiful park, on a hill top, in your favourite field, in the dappled shade of a woodland, on a beach
a brilliant best peeps bash in a back garden
How does it work?
- Our relationship is key (chemistry, rapport). We’ll have a free, no-obligation conversation. This could be in person or a call
- Your dream wedding celebration, hopes and concerns are all part of us getting to know and feel comfortable with each other
- Once you’ve agreed to book me, we’ll sign a contract and you’ll pay a booking fee to secure the date
- We have an in-depth planning session and talk about your preferences for the music, readings, cultural/symbolic gestures, vows and much more
- We’ll keep talking and ensure that your love story is just right for you
- I’ll write your ceremony script. You’ll get a keepsake copy to enjoy and treasure after the ceremony
- We’ll have a full rehearsal before the big day
- Your wedding day. I’ll check in with planners, wedding team, bridal party and anyone else to ensure that we’re 100% good to go
