  • Do you travel?

    Short answer is yes.  


    I'm based  based in Nottingham, but cover most of the East Midlands.  


    I can travel almost anywhere,  when the cost factored into my quotation.

  • Is my Celebrant Wedding Ceremony legal?

    No, not at present, thanks to lingering impact of Covid and the UK Gov't. dragging their heels over the legal changes!


    (Unless you live in Scotland and have a Humanist Celebrant, and absolutely no religious content or supernatural/spiritual references are allowed)


    You and your partner will have completed your wedmin paperwork  (a simple 2+2 statutory wedding in a registry office costs about £150-£250 depending on your location) either on the day of, or prior to your "proper" Wedding Ceremony....


    .......the Celebrant led Wedding Ceremony that everyone remembers.
