About Laura

Laura Coates

 

Hi, I’m Laura! I’m an accredited UK humanist celebrant meaning that I can conduct legal weddings across Northern Ireland.  I create bespoke wedding ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds, working with them to tell their love story.

I love connecting with people and get such a thrill from it! (I’m also quite nosy and love hearing about people’s love stories!)  Part of my role is to draw out your story and use this to create a meaningful wedding ceremony that will leave your guests feeling as if they know you a little better. Moments of eye leaks mixed with comic relief are the goal!  

Weddings are such a joyous, fun and love filled day.  But the lead up can at times be overwhelming.  While my primary role is your celebrant, I truly believe having an impartial person to turn to for advice (or simply a vent!) is an essential part of wedding planning -another role I’m always happy to fulfil.

I first got involved in weddings in 2017 as a wedding planner for Galgorm Spa and Golf Resort. Fun fact – the first legal humanist ceremony in Northern Ireland took place shortly after I started and that’s how I came across humanism!
