Hello,  I´m Lorna. Welcome! I am a Humanist Celebrant and  firmly believe non-religious people, such as myself,  are entitled to and should be empowered to have the  freedom and choice to mark significant life events. Events which are all inclusive, embracing and welcoming those with all faiths and those with none.  These ceremonies include funerals and living funerals,  memorial services,   marriage, partnership and vow renewals.  My role is to help celebrate these occasions  in a way which is meaningful, sincere, personal and profound.

My background is in public speaking, in writing, training and giving presentations all over the world and to people from all walks of life, cultures and backgrounds. For some years I ran a B&B from my olive farm in Spain, ably assisted by assorted cats and dogs and friends,  happily welcoming, hosting and caring for people from all over the world – a lot of hard work and a lot of fun!  This was a great job as I am easy going, calm, and approachable but above all because I love people and am always curious to hear their stories – which makes my role as a Celebrant a genuine joy.

All this (together with more than a little smattering of good old “am dram) means I  am a confident,  flexible, relaxed and polished Celebrant; just as happy wearing a smart suit and heels conducting a formal wedding ceremony in a high end venue or – being a country girl at heart – donning wellies (preferably pink ones, obviously) and squelching around in a field or delivering an informal, dignified memorial ceremony on a beach feeling the warm, soft  sand beneath the toes.

Whether you are looking for a small, private, and sweetly simple intimate vow renewal ceremony or a memorial cermony to help comfort, soothe and heal, whatever you are looking for, I should be priviliged to help design and conduct the ceremony you want without any religious, legal or other constraints. I shall work efficiently, professionally, with warmth and without fuss.

Please call me or email for an informal chat using the contact details on the right.

Lorna
