Welcome

 

Hiya! I’m Helen, and I hear you are tying the knot.

Congratulations!

Well, I might be just who you need.

 

 

I’m a Humanists UK accredited celebrant.

What is that, you may well ask?

Well, think of me as a vicar but without the dog collar, oh, and the religion. My role as your celebrant will be to produce a bespoke ceremony that is totally unique and completely tailored to you. If you want traditional or bonkers, or a mixture of both, then I’ll accommodate your wishes—unless it’s jumping out of a plane or swimming with sharks, then maybe I’m not the one for you! Whether you go big, small, indoors, outdoors, the local pub, a stately home, field, or forest, the choice is yours. Unlike other ceremonies, there are no set words, no cut and paste, insert name here. I will be guided by you and your wishes.

As a Humanists UK celebrant, I believe in promoting tolerance, rational thinking, freedom of choice, and kindness. That is why a Humanist ceremony will be a very inclusive, joyous occasion, regardless of your race, religious beliefs, gender, or sexuality.

Who am I?

I was born and bred in Hertfordshire. I have no children of my own, but I do have two amazing goddaughters despite not being christened, “Is that even allowed?!”.

I’ve worked as a Graphics Operator in the television industry for 34 years, on many and varied programmes – from the sublime to the ridiculous! I’m used to pressure and always try to keep my sense of humour. If you can’t laugh, what else is there?

I spend my summer months by the Thames. I love anything creative – writing, art, and cinema. ‘Jaws’ is my all-time favourite film; hence, I won’t be doing any weddings in a shark cage! 

Why choose me?

The key thing is, I’m a good listener. I want to find out all about you so that your story can be woven into your ceremony. I care about people, and I’m kind. I will guide you through each stage of the process, make suggestions if you need ideas, and create a script that will encapsulate everything YOU want on your special day, with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.

Get in Touch.

I offer a free consultation so that you can find out if I’m right for you. It’s a big decision, and you need to know you’ve got it right, and I need to know I’m the right person to deliver on your big day. I am happy to discuss further details including my fee and travel arrangements. Although I’m based in Hertfordshire, I am happy to conduct ceremonies in Oxfordshire and the surrounding area within an agreed mileage.

Until then, I wish you all the very best and hopefully speak soon.
