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…

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…

Dan & Hannah’s Urban Humanist Wedding Ceremony at Gorilla

Dan and Hannah are globe-trotters to the absolute max. Having spent the past decade moving houses (and lives) between England and Australia multiple times they decided to get married one of their favourite places in the world – Manchester!     Dan is an Aussie and Hannah is a home grown Manc, although they met…

Sunflowers & Donkey’s on a very special day for Rory and Lee

Rory and Lee were a couple of rum buggars from the start because these two literally ooze mischief and are always cracking jokes at each others expense. Although they currently live in Dubai, they came back to the UK to officially tie the knot, and their wedding was never going to be anything other than…

A Humanist Wedding on Cloud 23 at the Hilton Hotel for Simon and Emma

Quite often, celebrant Stef helps couples plan their big days long distance and with Simon and Emma (an Aussie and a Brit who met and currently live in Dubai) she was presented with quite the trans-global challenge! They were having a few complications when it came to choosing which country they would like get married…
