A humanist wedding ceremony aims to be a celebration of the lives and the shared love of those getting married.

There is considerable scope for creativity and personalisation in a humanist ceremony; my role as your celebrant will be to create for you a ceremony that’s about both of you.

There’s no set script, I will write a tailored ceremony based on conversations I have with you and your partner. I will also discuss with you and develop any ideas you may want to incorporate into your wedding.

If you’ve ever dreamt about a wedding set to the theme of the movie “Titanic”, one based on the songs of Meatloaf or would prefer something a little more akin to a traditional style of marriage ceremony all of these ideas and more can be part of your wedding if you wish.

There’s also no set length of ceremony, while many ceremonies would be expected to run roughly 30 minutes there’s no rule here. I will work with you to design a ceremony that’s the right length both for you and for your guests. You also have no restrictions on where you can get married, you can do it in your garden, in a hot air balloon or in the ballroom of a five star hotel.

About me

I have been performing, directing and generally spending time being heard in large rooms for well over 20 years now. I started performing when I did a two year performing arts course back in the 90’s and I also have a degree in Drama and Psychology. Throughout my working life I have engaged in public speaking on an almost daily occurrence. Be it in gale force winds up the side of a mountain or in the middle of a farm surrounded by animals I will make sure you and your guests hear every word of your ceremony!

If you have any queries or would simply like to chat through your options I would be delighted to meet with you and your partner, with no charge or commitment to continue, on a mutually convenient date to discuss your requirements further.

I can be contacted directly on eamonn.oreilly@humanistceremonies.org.uk or on 07904 403304.
