About Jess Masterton-Smith

Celebrate YOUR day, YOUR way!

One-of-a-kind, non-religious wedding ceremonies that tell your unique love story, in a place of your choosing

Hi! I’m Jess, a Humanist Wedding Celebrant based in West Sussex, covering the whole of the UK and beyond.

I collaborate with couples to create and deliver bespoke, personal, and ultimately unforgettable wedding ceremonies. I love weddings, love making people happy and LOVE MY JOB.

Your wedding day is a celebration of your love for one another….so let’s CELEBRATE! My aim is for you to feel relaxed and to really enjoy your ceremony. The ceremony is the HEADLINER of the day, let’s make it totally awesome; one your friends and family will talk about for years to come.

Why choose a Humanist Ceremony?

Unique and personal-

I will help/collaborate with you to create a ceremony that is personal and friendly. Every ceremony I write and conduct is written from scratch. I will work with you to create a one of a kind ceremony that tells your individual love story and truly reflects who you are.

Creative freedom-

Your ceremony can be simple or grand, traditional or quirky and can include as much or as little as you want. The readings, music choices, vows, promises, structure, and symbolic gestures (for example handfasting, lighting of candles, ring warming) are chosen by you. You can include whoever you want to be part of your ceremony, friends, family, children, and even pets! I encourage couples to take as much ownership of their ceremony as they wish but I can guide and advise along the way – as much or as little as needed.

Where you want-

You no NOT need a licensed venue! Your wedding ceremony can take place ANYWHERE, inside or the great outdoors, the possibilities are endless….

Choose your Celebrant-

Unlike a Civil service, where you don’t know who you get until the day, you can choose your celebrant, someone that will tell your story your way. Before your ceremony a I will get to know you as a couple and what you want from your big day, meaning that your ceremony will be led by someone you feel that you know.
