Humanist and non-religious funerals, weddings, elopements and vow renewal ceremonies
written with you, spoken with care.
Ceremonies
Funerals and celebrations of life
When someone dies, everyone deserves a goodbye that actually sounds like them; the stories, the quirks, the music they loved and the things only loved ones would know.
I'll sit with you, listen properly, and write a ceremony that honours their whole life, not just a list of dates.
Crematorium, graveside, woodland, beach, village hall or your own back garden; wherever feels right.
Weddings, elopements & vow renewals
Your ceremony, your story, your way!
Your wedding should feel like the two of you, not a standard script.
I’ll get to know you both, hear how you met, what makes you laugh and what you want to promise each other, then write a ceremony that tells your story in your own words.
Whether it’s a big celebration with all the trimmings, a handful of loved ones on a beach, on a hillside or just the two of you somewhere that matters, I’ll make sure it’s heartfelt, relaxed and completely authentically yours.
You can include family and friends in readings, bring in traditions that mean something to you; handfasting, a quaich, a ring warming, or just keep it simple. There are NO rules!
That’s the beauty of a non legal ceremony, you’re free to make it exactly what you want, and leave the formal paperwork for a quick, quiet trip to the registrar.
How we’ll work together

I write
After our meeting, and once I’ve gathered all the information I need I draft the ceremony and then share it with you. I’ll then make any tweaks as necessary.
Nothing is said on the day that you haven’t seen and been happy with.
I’m happy to meet or talk as many times as is needed..i want to make sure we get it just right!

We talk
It all starts with a relaxed conversation about the life we’re honouring or the love we’re celebrating.
For funerals, I’ll usually come to you at home. For weddings, we might meet over a coffee or on a video call, whatever suits you best.

We gather
On the day, I'll hold the space calmly so you can be fully present with the people who matter most.
I’ll coordinate with other suppliers and key people on the day to make sure the ceremony runs smoothly.
