Nick is a Weddings celebrant, accredited by Humanists UK.   He trades as Rainbow Celebrations UK, offering bespoke ceremonies that are both inclusive and celebratory.

WEDDINGS – and ceremonies to make or renew vows of commitment – are a key ritual in all cultures, and mark significant public affirmation of our choices to share life’s joys and challenges in partnership.   Humanist weddings offer a highly personalised alternative to religious or civil ceremonies, and can take place virtually anywhere!

Ceremonies can and often do include some symbolic action or gesture, and some make inclusion for all, youngest to oldest, the focus of the occasion, including the public witnessing of promises to each other.  The ceremony may also include readings and music, but the actual content is entirely up to you.

In particular, Nick views Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremonies not only as joyous, heart-warming and fun occasions, but also naurally one’s of great significance to the couple concerned, for many the biggest occasion in their lives so far.    He aims to make the process of designing the ceremony relaxed and user-friendly so that you can trust on the big day that you are in safe hands and that the ceremony will be delivered as planned, being both enjoyable and inclusive for all those present.

Testimonials on his celebrations (namings and non-accredited civil weddings/partnerships) include:

“You were brilliant – witty and warm – an absolute natural at this.  A great combination of serious reflection and celebratory humour.  A great ceremony delivered with authority, clarity and great warmth – funny, touching and heartfelt.  An excellent blend of the joyous and the memorable.  Thank you”

“In enacting his ceremonies, Nick displays all the confidence and delivery attributes that one might expect from a professional in his field.  It is like you have Sir Ian McKellen telling your story but with an appropriate gentle sense of infectious fun and ‘fizz’…  It really helped put us at our ease and able to enjoy it to the full”

“Nick brings a naturally infectious warmth and joy to his delivery and remains brilliantly able to deal with the unexpected.”

“The ceremony was brilliant, and we have had nothing but compliments from our guests, saying how wonderful and personal the ceremony was and how great you were at leading it. Thank you for making it all so easy in the run up as well. You took the limited information we told you and turned it in to a beautiful story for our daughhter’s Naming.
