Looking for an unforgettable ceremony? Your Three Days wedding, handfasting and vow renewal ceremonies by experienced Humanist Wedding Celebrant Hannah Wroe Gill across Yorkshire (Halifax, Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, N Yorks), the Peak District and North West.
LOVED ONES' WORDS INCLUDED AS STANDARD. 500+ 5 star reviews. Est. 2010. LGBTQ+ inclusive.
'We deliberated countless options for our wedding. You were absolutely the best choice we made.
You have this utterly lovely combination of authoritativeness and warmth, like everything’s completely in hand. All your small details had a seismic effect on the feel of the ceremony and your delivery was brilliant, holding the energy and filling the space. It felt amazing, enormously precious and so perfect - all we could have hoped for.
Literally every guest said how incredible it was and even the string quartet were in happy tears - we’d never met them!!! It was the highlight of our whole wedding.'

So many Celebrants and too little time? Here are 3 reasons why I’d love a place on your shortlist: the unique way I write, the calibre of my reviews and my emotional return on your investment. Typically, personalised ceremonies use information collected by interview. In contrast, I’d write using answers to bespoke individual and joint questions you’ve both had time and space to think about, privately and together. I also include loved ones’ words in every script which, as far as I know, no other Celebrant does. It’s all part of a genuinely original, fun and flexible multi-phase creative process I’ve been honing over the last decade and more. If we get to chat on the phone, which I hope we do, I’ll offer to read some of my 'Story so far' sections or vow and ring exchanges so you can hear and feel the difference my particular approach makes. I love what I do.
‘The creative phase was such a lovely period of our engagement. It’s impossible to describe how perfectly Hannah met our needs - experience shows in everything she says and does. Safe to say she’s even had an impact on our marriage.’
Megan + John
Have you had chance to explore any of my 500+ testimonials yet? As well as the 50+ reviews on this profile (apologies for the algorithm’s quirky order), there are 350+ quotes revolving on my site page tops as well as a link to my 2010-2020 Anniversary Collection and its 12 themed chapters. My Instagram has a quote a picture too, bringing my 14+ years' experience up to date with my most recent weddings. All these reviews give the best sense of the profound effect my way of working can have: the lengths I go to for my couples, the quality of my writing, my intuitive attention to detail and engaging performance style. Yet whilst I’m very proud of every one, I’m never, ever complacent. After nearly 400 ceremonies, I've a wealth of passion, experience and expertise which can prove invaluable, but you’re only as good as your next one in my view.
‘Our heads are still spinning: just far and away the best day of our lives and you were a massive part of that. No amount of thanks is enough - the time, care and attention you put in was mind-boggling.’
Caro + Karen
I’ll tell you now, some Celebrants charge less than I do (and others more) - but consider which part of your wonderful, wonderful day is going to mean the most to you both. I don’t just mean on your first anniversary or fifth, but for the rest of your lives. If we do this right, it’s going to be the half hour or so when we told your story in a truly life-affirming ceremony, joyful, thought-provoking and wholly authentic; when the hairs stood up on the back of people's necks; when they laughed and cried and reached for their partner's hand, nobody ready for it all to end quite yet. The Celebrant market may be crowded, but that doesn’t mean we all deliver the same result on the day. There isn’t another offering the same combination of skills, creativity, choice and back catalogue I do. You can't find the same ceremony experience anywhere else.
‘Guests came up to us afterwards crying, telling us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. The emotion captured in the room and between the two of us will stay with us until we take our last breath.’

Reviews for Hannah Wroe Gill
Just amazing
We knew that we would have to do some ‘work’, however you made it enjoyable and exciting so it didn’t feel like work at all. The questions you asked were so in depth and captured so much. It was great thinking of past and present happy moments in our lives and expressing our feelings in response to them. It was the main core of preparing for the big day and we thoroughly enjoyed it. You literally covered everything.
The time and dedication you put into us both is just incomparable: how you helped when we were a little confused with any of the questions and how comfortable you made us feel. Nothing was ever too much.
Hannah you were just amazing, exceeding all expectations. We were so lucky to have you on our special day. You ensured things ran smoothly, not just the ceremony but the whole build up and arrival of the guests. We don’t actually know what we would have done without you. You were so warm and welcoming and very free flowing when we needed you to be with Tilly, yet so professional. We’re just so grateful.
We have had so many compliments from family and friends on how amazing the ceremony was and that they’ve never been to one like it. There was not one dry eye in the barn! A huge thank you also for how you helped with seating our parents on the front rows. Your advice was just perfect and we’re really thankful how it worked out.
We wish that we could do it again!! And we miss you in a funny way. You’re just such a lovely, kind and clever lady and you’re absolutely amazing at what you do. We will always recommend you.
Sending lots of love to you and your family and thank you so much for everything. You made our day so special and we will be forever grateful.

Hannah made our wedding day incredible!
From the moment we met she put our nerves at ease almost immediately. It was evident she takes this job seriously but thoroughly enjoys the process of getting to know a couple's stories and history.
It is a very personal way of getting married, with a tailored ceremony where you can decide what you do and don't want included. Hannah asked us questions during the few months before we got married, then compiled a draft that we could edit. You also get to ‘act’ out the ceremony in advance, which makes the wedding day that much easier.
When the big day came she was absolutely fantastic. It was genuinely reassuring to have her around, mingling with every guest and getting to know our families. So many friends and family told us how much they enjoyed the personal ceremony and Hannah's delivery of it. It all went very well, and Hannah had been so helpful that it was a shame to say goodbye to her later in the day.
We would strongly recommend Hannah for your big day. It is our pleasure to have met and also worked with her. We will never forget that day, and Hannah played a huge role in that.
Perfect all round!
She listened to exactly what we wanted and truly delivered. We wanted a celebration of our relationship and family and to also tell our story. She used our words by asking us all of the right questions and brought it all together in a beautiful and entertaining way.
Hannah has a really warm and funny presence and she has this incredible way of reminding you to keep it light-hearted and fun.
The ceremony itself got so many compliments on the day and we're forever grateful for how special she made this day for us.
Thank you!!

Couldn’t have been more perfect!

The most perfect and personal wedding celebration
We spent a lot of time researching Humanist Celebrants, and came across Hannah on the Humanist website. After talking to her on the phone, it was clear Hannah was the Celebrant for us: she was as excited as we were about our engagement and wedding! She gave brilliant advice, without pressure or judgement, and was more than happy to calm any worries or concerns with a friendly email.
Hannah really took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, which made the ceremony even more personal, it felt more like a friend was conducting it. All our friends and family commented on our unique, personal and moving service even to this day!
Hannah was brilliant in guiding us through the process of creating the humanist ceremony and when we decided to write our own secret(!) vows. With her infectious excitement, Hannah took time in helping us to write the vows and perfectly understood the importance of them to us.
The cost of hiring Hannah reflects her experience, enthusiasm and professionalism. We approached other (cheaper) Celebrants, but no other gave us the feeling that our wedding was as important to them as it was to us. Nor did they seem they would be as involved as Hannah was in helping craft the perfect day.
As we were always set on having a humanist ceremony, we always viewed the separate legal ceremony as just that – a paperwork exercise (even dressing in our comfy clothes to reinforce the fact we didn’t see that as our official wedding!). Our venue was not licensed to perform weddings, so we ‘had’ to have a separate legal ceremony on the morning of our humanist wedding. But it meant we could have a little private moment with just our parents and each other before the madness of getting ready for our actual wedding and ceremony.
So overall, we cannot recommend Hannah enough! She has an amazing ability to make you feel like you are the only couple she’s working with. The humanist ceremony she created for us was more than we could ever imagine. Every detail had been considered, and it was personal to the very end, nothing was generic.
To this day our friends and family comment on how our wedding was a beautiful day and how the ceremony reflected us perfectly as a couple. We loved every minute of it! We cannot thank Hannah enough for all her time, excitement and for the delivery of the ceremony itself.
Perfect doesn’t even cover it!!
Roisin and Paul
Amazing Celebrant, highly recommend!
So many people commented on how amazing the humanist ceremony was, so you may have some people contact you. Perhaps, when we have little ones of our own, we will be in touch about naming ceremonies!
Warmest regards,
Matt and Kerry
Perfectly informal…
Hannah came highly recommended by Richard at the Craven Arms and although it felt strange being so open with someone we didn’t know, in our first conversation Hannah couldn’t have made us feel more comfortable.
Her methods and techniques for putting our ceremony together worked really well and by the time it came to our rehearsal it felt like Hannah had known us for years.
On the big day there was lots of emotion and Hannah’s experience, calmness and total investment in our ceremony was obvious as she guided us through without a hitch.
From filling our two kids with encouragement and confidence to read out their poems to bringing tears (and laughter!) to our guests Hannah was fantastic and we are so happy that she was part of our family story.
Our day was everything we wanted it to be and more and having Hannah there to lead it was one of the best decisions we made.
Thank you Hannah!

A wonderful day
From your regular and kind messages helping us organise the ceremony to your indispensable help on the day managing people and ensuring things ran smoothly all the way through to the heartfelt ceremony you performed which left us caught somewhere between laughing and crying (we honestly didn’t stop smiling all evening!) you were absolutely indispensable.
So many of our friends and family commented on how sincere and professional your ceremony was and many more now have a much better understanding of why we chose a Humanist ceremony. We could not recommend you highly enough to any couple planning for their big day.
Thanks you so much for making our day so special!

Hannah is simply the best
As childhood sweethearts we had so much we wanted to say to each other in front of our loved ones. Hannah magically crafted our words into a beautiful, unique ceremony, suiting our laid back and playful style as a couple. She's just incredible at what she does, making the entire process fun and exciting and as painless as possible. She helped make sure there wasn't a dry eye in the place. We felt soooo lucky we had found her!
My brother, who was actually single at our wedding, made sure he had Hannah as his celebrant recently. It was fantastic to catch up with her years later, as she definitely feels like a family friend now.
Thank you Hannah, we love you 💚
The most amazing ceremony by Hannah
absolutely the right decision
Choosing to have a humanist ceremony was absolutely the right decision: it allowed us to personalise our ceremony entirely and ensure everything included was truly meaningful to and right for us. For us, the humanist ceremony was the centre point of the day: the main event, the most important and symbolic – our true wedding ceremony. So being able to make it our own was crucial.
You gathered all the right information and put so much effort in to crafting a beautiful ceremony, allowing us freedom to input and adapt as well, which was perfect. It flowed and built momentum, tastefully and with all the gravitas a wedding ceremony should.
We were able to include people close to us as well. It really was the epitome of bespoke and consequently meant all the more. We will treasure the words of our wedding forever, knowing they were just for us and true to us. The vows we made to each other in our humanist ceremony were unquestionably our wedding vows.
I had concerns about having both ceremonies on the day, but the humanist ceremony was so clearly the important, focal, conclusive ceremony that actually it wasn’t a problem at all. I have no doubt our guests saw the humanist as the real wedding: so many people have commented on how it was the best wedding they’ve been to, even after 40 years of wedding attendances. Another guest said she wished she’d known humanist ceremonies were an option.
Not only are we delighted we decided to go with the humanist ceremony, but also that we chose you as our Humanist Celebrant.
You guided us beautifully, not only in writing the ceremony, but in putting together wonderful vows and listening to our opinions. I was especially impressed with the amount of thought and consideration you gave to our ceremony, and planning the flow of time around the ceremony as well. You counselled us about the day, helped us in our times of concern of how others might see things, and gave great and wise insight in to the process, which I was especially grateful for.
I am so, so impressed and happy we chose you. It was just wonderful and wouldn’t have been had the ceremony not been so perfect.
I think the work you put in around the ceremony goes in to making the whole day better too: relaxed, happy couples who understand and know what they’re doing, why, and have been able to craft their own wedding (with your expert help) are always going to have a more positive, meaningful experience. And on the day you were relaxed, confident, helpful, flexible, funny, the utmost professional. Just brilliant.
Even my Mum – a big sceptic – was happy. And that probably says it all.
Thank you so much, we couldn’t have asked for more from you. It was a dream. So, so, so very worth it. You should charge more!!
Our fondest wishes,
Becky and Ric
A truly wonderful experience from start to finish!
The ceremony was everything we could have wished for and we had many positive comments from all the guests – a few were talking about arranging humanist wedding ceremonies for their children!
We’ve very much enjoyed the whole process with you. It has certainly made us think about our relationship and what we want out of our future together.
Thanks again for all your help.
Best wishes for the future,
Beccy and Mark x
Truly exceptional service
We played the ceremony out with you and in our heads many times but on the day it was one million times better than we could have ever imagined. It really was the most perfect day!
From the moment we entered the room the atmosphere was electric. The ceremony was so personal to them and us that there was not a dry eye in the congregation. The emotions were so high and there was so much love in the room that we are still feeling extremely blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives.
The wedding quite honestly would not have been what it was without your recommendations on room layout, logistics, your amazing delivery of the ceremony and stage presence and not least your crowd control skills.
Everyone is still talking about it and it will forever be the best day of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream come true!
Sharon and Dave
