It’s always really lovely to be asked to perform a ceremony by somebody who’s seen you in action before, and this was the case with my Bride Sarah, who’d previously strutted her way through the infamous ‘Woodland Parade’ back in 2016 as a rabbit Best Woman (yes, you read that correctly!) when I was still…
Wild Scenes in a Withington Back-Garden Wedding!
Sometimes I get to work with couples who throw the wedding rule book out of the window and Kirsty and Jack, who chose to celebrate their nuptials in their back garden in Withington, gave themselves enough freedom and flexibility to do exactly that. I love these guys, their flamboyant but laid-back attitude, their home-grown eccentricity…
I have honestly never laughed so much during a wedding ceremony
Laughter is the key to any good relationship, we all know this, yet in my years as a humanist celebrant I have never laughed so hard whilst delivering a ceremony as I did during Alison and Adam’s big day. These guys, and their hilarious, heckling guests, had me in absolute stitches and if I could…
A Fetterman Family Affair
Over the past five years I’ve performed no less than 74 alternative wedding ceremonies for couples from all different backgrounds and walks of life. I’ve been plunged into the deep end of Victoria Baths (whilst it was empty of course!) done bespoke back garden weddings with less than thirty guests, conducted outdoor weddings in fields,…
Back to my Beginnings – A Spring Ceremony at Victoria Warehouse
It barely seems as if any time has passed since I performed my first ceremony on St. Patrick’s day at Victoria Warehouse, but would you believe it was actually half a decade ago?! Time has a funny way of circling back around on itself sometimes and in 2022 my first wedding of the year (and…
A Legally Binding Humanist Ceremony in a Glorious Glen in Scotland
This last year has been a particularly memorable one for me as not only was I asked to be the celebrant for my very best friend Marie and her partner Chris in an intimate family gathering in Scotland, but I was also granted special permission by the Scottish Humanist Society to do so! This was…
After a long Maternity Hiatus – I’m Back!
Holy Tamoly! What a crazy ride the past two years has been! Aside from the world-pausing fandango that every single one of us is all too aware of (and sick of talking about) I had a baby – a 7lbs 3oz bundle of gorgeousness whose has changed my life for the better. Quite a few…
Stefan and Alex’s Unforgettable Indoor Forest Rave Wedding
What a crazy rollercoaster ride of year 2020 has been?! Like everybody in the wedding and entertainment industry I’ve been on an enforced hiatus since March and I must say, wedding withdrawal is very a real syndrome…So what better way to beat the ‘Season-That-Time-Forgot’ Blues than to look back on one of my favorites of…
Our last wedding of 2019 – An Indoor Festival of Love!
Originally posted on Alternative Weddings Manchester:
We count our lucky stars every day to be approached by couples who are bold enough to do things their own way. Gone are the days when weddings were boring and predictable and with Delia and Phil, a couple who chose to get married at HMT last Nov, nothing…
A Mid-Winter’s Dream Hand-fasting on the High Peaks
As a natural born love junkie and theatre performer, I love nothing more than when couples ask me to design a ceremony that is bold, beautiful and completely out-of-the-box. Having had my own woodland wedding in Wales in 2017 I know how special it is to be able to have exactly the wedding you want,…
