How would you like to celebrate your special day?

Where would you like to make or renew your vows?

In a rustic barn or historic house? On a clifftop or by a waterfall? In your favourite pub or an allotment? In an ancient stone circle or in a beautiful garden, surrounded by flowers and birdsong?

Humanist Weddings and Vow Renewals can be conducted anywhere, as long as you have the consent of the landowner. And that opens up a wealth of possibilities…

It’s an extraordinary privilege to be a celebrant and meet couples who want to declare their love to the people who mean the most to them. Humanist ceremonies are inclusive and designed to be meaningful and poignant to everyone present, whatever their beliefs. They are chosen by a whole range of people – straight and gay, with or without children and of all ages.

No two love stories are the same and so every ceremony should be as unique as the two of you. Perhaps you’d like to have a handfasting, a sand blending ceremony, to jump the broom or light candles with family and friends? Maybe you’d like a ceremony which is traditional and time honoured? It all begins with your ideas and then together we will create your perfect ceremony. If you’re not sure what you would like, I can help. I have lots of ideas for vows, music, poetry and readings – being creative is a big part of the job!

My Fees and Promises to you:

• An initial free, no obligation meeting in person or via Zoom
• A 2-4 hour planning meeting to help me write your love story and structure your ideas
• Any further emails, meetings, Zoom and telephone calls we need
• My attendance at your ceremony rehearsal/run through
• Conducting your Ceremony on the day
• A keepsake copy of your completely bespoke script
• My travel expenses within a 30 mile radius of my home for our meetings, rehearsal and Big Day*
• Full Public Liability and Indemnity Insurance and DBS Certificate

My current fee is usually £600. A £100 deposit secures my exclusive booking for your special date. Once we’ve met, planned your ceremony and your script is written and agreed, another £350  is due – I can still make alterations to the script up to the day before the ceremony! The balance of £150 is payable a full week before the ceremony day.

I have an electric car, powered by green energy – so I’m helping to reduce the carbon footprint of your big day 😀 I’m very happy to work anywhere in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and further afield if requested!

Please contact me to check my availability. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

*Anything over this is a standard 45p a mile.
