About

Hello, I’m Alex - and I love a good love story.

I’m a Manchester-based Wedding Celebrant creating ceremonies that feel like you - relaxed, emotional, fun, heartfelt and never copy-and-paste. Below you'll find some recent reviews from some of the amazing couples I've worked with.

It’s your story - huge moments, happy tears, laughs and a ceremony you and your wonderful guests will remember forever.

I work with couples across the UK (and beyond) to create celebrations packed with personality - whether that means elegant and romantic, chilled and fun, outrageously themed, deeply sentimental… or all four at once.

As a radio presenter, broadcaster and public speaker, words are my thing. I know how to hold a room, tell a story and create moments that genuinely land.

And the best bit? There are no rules (...except yours, of course).

Want your dog involved? Go for it.
A tequila shot mid-ceremony? I’m listening.
Fancy dress? A woodland handfasting in the rain? Absolutely.

I’m especially passionate about creating inclusive ceremonies where everybody feels seen, celebrated and comfortable being fully themselves. As an openly gay celebrant, supporting LGBTQ+ couples and communities is something incredibly close to my heart.

Whether I’m leading a wedding, celebration of life or another milestone moment, my job is simple:

To make people feel something.

I’ll be there throughout the process - helping shape your ideas, calm the nerves, craft the perfect words and create a ceremony that feels effortless, personal and unforgettable.

Big feelings. Big laughs. Zero beige energy.

You might already have plenty of amazing ideas already - that's brilliant. If not, don't worry, I can guide you towards what you're looking for.

If that sounds like your vibe, let’s talk x

"Alex was everything we had hoped for in a celebrant and more. We were so lucky to get him onboard! We had already had a few initial calls with other celebrants when we found him. I was looking for a videographer so was watching wedding videos only for my fiancé listening in who wasn't even looking at the screen to go "WE NEED THAT GUY". We were based in London so Alex just let us know when he was next in London and came to meet us so we could tell him our story.

He was so warm and just made everything so easy - we had so much fun talking about our journey with him.What came after was a beautifully written script by him, essentially putting to paper the four hour long conversation we had! Despite being our own story that we knew so well, we got emotional reading it, which was a testament how well-written it was. It was the perfect mix of storytelling, ceremonial, but colloquial enough to keep an audience engaged through an eight year story.

In the ceremony, Alex was so eloquent, articulate, humorous and somehow felt like an old friend telling a story he lived through with us. Basically ALL of our guests commented on the excellent job he did - he did wonderfully. The ceremony was the part of the wedding my husband and I were looking forward to the most, and it was everything we dreamed of It's now still our favourite moment from the day. Thank you, Alex, for making it so perfect. You were a bigger part of our day than you know."
Li Ann & Shameel - May 2026

*From the very beginning, Alex was genuinely invested in us as a couple. It never felt like we were just another booking, he really took the time to get to know us, our story, and what mattered most to us. From day one, he made us feel completely at ease, more like we were chatting with a friend we had known for years rather than planning an event.

That connection made such a difference. Alex created a ceremony that felt truly personal and unique, reflecting us in a way we hadn’t quite been able to put into words ourselves. He struck the perfect balance between heartfelt moments and humour, which not only meant there were plenty of happy tears, but also lots of laughter. It felt natural, warm, and completely “us”.

On the day itself, Alex was amazing. He helped calm any nerves we had and guided us through everything so smoothly. Our guests were fully engaged, relaxed, and really felt part of the ceremony, which was so important to us. We had so many people comment afterwards on how brilliant he was and how much they enjoyed it.

He’s also incredibly skilled at speaking to a large crowd, confident, engaging, and completely comfortable, which gave us so much reassurance. And we have to say, he looked the part too, very dapper and stylish, with the dicky bow being a particularly nice touch!

Alex played such a huge role in making our day feel so special, and we’re incredibly grateful. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care, put you at ease, and deliver a ceremony that’s both meaningful and memorable, we couldn’t recommend him more highly*
Andy & Shaun - August 2025

"The ceremony was everything we hoped it would be - relaxed, funny, genuine, and felt like “us”. Honestly so many of the guests were raving about you afterwards, with good reason. Thanks again for all your work - and for being such a chilled presence at the start, that definitely helped calm Jon’s nerves - it helped make the day really special for us." Leila & Jon - May 2025

"We want to thank you for being part of the most perfect day. We took the time to ask our guests what their favourite part of the wedding was and so many people said they LOVED you and the ceremony. People laughed, people cried and it was exactly what we wanted. I'll add that we thought the interview process and your getting to know us was so personal. We would recommend you to anyone needing a celebrant"
Amy & Luke - February 2025

"Alex was all we could have wanted and more for our big day. From first contact and all the way through, he was so friendly, warm and welcoming. When we met Alex he made us feel at ease, which was especially important to us as a queer couple. Alex wrote a beautiful ceremony for us, that felt personal and really spoke to our lives and experiences. On the day, Alex was phenomenal, leading our rather unruly guests through a perfect wedding ceremony, and handling all the big moments exactly as we wanted them. We can't recommend Alex enough. As many of our guests said; it was the most authentic, personal and beautiful ceremony they've ever been to! Thanks again for everything Alex, we will always remember you and our perfect day"
Zafi & Karenza - August 2025

"Alex was the celebrant at our wedding ceremony at King Street Townhouse in December and it couldn't have been more perfect. He took the time to sit with us ahead of the day to craft a truly unique and bespoke ceremony, which was a brilliant reflection of our relationship. A number of our guests commented that it was the most personal, heartfelt ceremony they'd ever attended and this was very much down to Alex."
Charissa & Neil - December 2023
