Why choose me as your celebrant?

I’ve been taking weddings for over 44 years, initially as a Church of England priest. Yes that means I’m in my 70s, and I like to think I bring a certain gravitas (as well as grey hair), along with a lightness of touch, to any wedding that I lead. Now that I've retired, I can provide just the right wedding for you both.

You need a Wedding that works to create a Marriage that means something today, and over the years ahead. You’re ready to make that commitment to that special person, and they to you. The Wedding, and that can be a glorious excuse to have a party, but the meaning can be lost in the fun. If you want a marriage that means something, go for a wedding that really gives you the chance to start as you mean to go on.

I weave my experience together with what you want. If you want religious, I can do that; if you want to keep religion out of it, I can do that. The importance is to create a celebration that means something, and I’ll liaise with the venue you’ve chosen to ensure a smooth and memorable event. Typical fee £500 including all preparation and support.

If you want your wedding to have legal status you’ll need to do that bit with a licenced Registrar at a place licensed for weddings. Then I can take over for the bit that has real meaning, along with spirit as your two hearts link together. Or if you want to be committed without the need for a legal status, we can create the whole thing.
