A Humanist wedding can be whatever you want it to be!
What happens in a Humanist wedding ceremony?
We’re not bound by any set formula. Typically, couples choose elements from traditional and modern weddings - music, readings and vows. I like to include a symbolic action, like a ring exchange or a hand fasting too.
What makes a Humanist wedding really special is the emphasis on the personal; using words and music that matter to the couple and telling the couple’s unique love story. This is my favourite part of the wedding ceremony!
Choosing the parts that are important to you, I can create a ceremony that celebrates your love in a way that feels true to you and your values.
What my couples say…
“Can we say once again how grateful we were for everything you did to make our wedding ceremony what it was.
We've had so many people say how lovely it was and how clear and engaging you were.
I LOVED your enthusiasm for aghd ceremonies and was so impressed how quickly you learned about them, even before our Zoom meeting!”

“Rachael was the perfect celebrant for our humanist ceremony. She was completely on board with our rather short time frame and wasn’t phased that we were trying to plan a wedding in about 7 weeks! She still took the time to get to know our story and put together the perfect script that combined both personal touches and some laughs for our friends and families.
After the ceremony everyone commented on how personal the ceremony was and how they think all weddings should reflect the couple as ours did. Rachael was always so easy to talk to and made the process of planning the ceremony enjoyable and stress free. We had the perfect day and a huge part of that was our ceremony thanks to Rachael.”

“Rachael made us, and all our guests, feel so at ease throughout the whole ceremony!
Our guests kept saying they felt as if she’s known us our whole lives! She took the time to get to really know our story and build a ceremony around it.
Rachael’s personality and ability to bond with people make her the perfect wedding officiant!”
