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…

A Harmonious Meeting of Hearts at the Whitworth Art Gallery
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…
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…
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…
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,…
Conducting a Humanist Ceremony for your Besties is the Best!
Over the past 3yrs I’ve had the absolute pleasure of conducting nearly 30 personalised humanist ceremonies for various couples; from regal affairs of 150 people near Bolton Abbey, to hippie lovefest’s in tipi’s in Mobberly, as well as woodlands hidden deep in the wilds of Sheffield. Variety is something my job promises in abundance and…
