About

Margaret is a humanist wedding celebrant. She believes every couple deserves a ceremony reflecting their unique love story and personalities.

A humanist wedding differs from a civil or register office ceremony; it is entirely personalised, focusing on you, your love and your story. Your wedding can occur anywhere you feel is significant to the two of you.

She will work with you to create a ceremony that's not only meaningful but also entertaining and engaging. A bespoke ceremony, telling your story in a way that no other kind of wedding ceremony can. From humorous anecdotes to heart-warming stories, she will weave together a ceremony that celebrates your love in a way that's uniquely you.

Most importantly, with over 20 years of experience, Margaret can create a ceremony that you and your guests will remember for years to come, bringing warmth, humour, and professionalism to your special day so that you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Services

A bespoke wedding or renewal of vows ceremony - just about the two of you. Margaret will meet with you to listen to your story, write a ceremony script that will be unique to the two of you and deliver it on your special day.

If you need help deciding what to include, Margaret guides you through music, readings, and symbolic rituals, like ring warming or handfasting. She ensures your family and friends are included in your ceremony. If you'd like to say your own personal vows to each other but need help knowing where to start, she can help you craft those special words.

You will have unlimited contact via phone or video call before your ceremony and a rehearsal at the venue if required. On your wedding day, Margaret will calm your nerves if you need reassurance and will be there every step of the way to ensure your wedding is the perfect day to start the rest of your lives. She will also leave you with a presentation script so you can always remember the words spoken on your special day.

A truly personal ceremony, crafted with care and heart

From the beginning we knew we wanted a ceremony that was personal, meaningful and reflected us as a couple. Margaret absolutely delivered that and more. She took so much time and care to get to know us, understand our story and craft a ceremony that felt completely bespoke. Our guests were genuinely impressed and weeks later continue to comment on how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was and how it was unlike any wedding they’d seen before. Margaret’s dedication and warmth was there throughout the entire process. She genuinely cared that we had the ceremony we dreamed of and her passion for what she does shone through. We could not have asked for a more beautiful or meaningful way to begin our married life. Thank you Margaret for making our day so special!

Our Guests Still Talk About Margaret!

We honestly cannot recommend Margaret highly enough. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly kind, thoughtful and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. It was so clear that she truly cared about us, our relationship and our story, and she poured that care into every part of the ceremony.
Margaret took the time to really understand who we are and what was important to us, and she created a ceremony that felt completely personal and true to us. It was heartfelt, meaningful and full of warmth – exactly what we had hoped for and more.
So many of our guests told us how special and unique the ceremony was, and how beautifully it reflected us as a couple. That is entirely down to Margaret’s incredible talent, attention to detail and genuine passion for what she does.
She is exceptional at her job and we feel so lucky to have had her be part of our day. If you are looking for a humanist celebrant who will create a ceremony with love, care and a truly personal touch, Margaret is the one.

A truly warm, thoughtful and talented celebrant!

Margaret was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have wished for a better celebrant!

From the very first chat, she put us completely at ease. Margaret has such a motherly warm, welcoming and calming way about her that made the whole process so much easier and far more special than we ever imagined. What we thought would just be planning a ceremony actually became this lovely journey that brought us even closer as a couple. She was always available for advice and to make changes to match our preferences as they developed over the months of planning.

She went above and beyond to make the ceremony truly personal, weaving in beautiful traditions that reflected our backgrounds and making everything feel deeply meaningful. Despite the sweltering heat on the day, Margaret delivered the ceremony so beautifully, capturing our story perfectly with just the right mix of heartfelt moments and lighthearted touches.

Our guests were full of compliments afterwards, saying it was one of the most personal and memorable ceremonies they’d ever been to. Margaret has an amazing ability to make everyone feel included and relaxed, and she brought such warmth and joy to the whole day.

We can’t thank her enough, Margaret didn’t just officiate our wedding, she made it unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your celebrant, you’re in the very best hands.

Margaret, the perfect celebrant

From our first meeting with Margaret, we knew we wanted her to conduct our wedding ceremony. She put at at ease immediately, she is so warm and knowlegable. She spoke with us over the next few months, listened to our story and what was important to us in our marriage, and out of our conversations, she created the most incredible, touching, personal ceremony. All of our guests talked about how meaningful it was, and how much more personal than a traditional ceremony.

Margaret also worked with us individually to write our vows. By spending time getting to know us, she helped shape our feelings into the most beautiful words.

Margaret is warm, creative, knowledge and very professional in a relaxed way. I we renew our vows, we will definitely want Margaret to be our celebrant again.

Amazing Ceremony!

Margaret is such a talented and thoughtful celebrant. She made our wedding ceremony unforgettable and gave us some amazing ideas, which just added so much to our day. All our guests commented on how much they loved our ceremony and how personal it was. Margaret took the time to get to know us both and told our story brilliantly. We were beyond thrilled with everything and can't recommend the Gower Celebrant highly enough.

Thank you, Marge!

The Gower Celebrant aka shining star of our day

Thank you Margaret for giving an extra bit of sparkle to our day! Your kind, soft nature helped us feel comfortable sharing our story with you! Nothing was too much to ask with all the endless emails and changes that were made. You made our guests feel included, they were completely engaged in everything you said, you truly are one in a million and we are so grateful to have met you! Thank you again, Sam and Charlotte

Margaret made our day incredibly special. We loved the meetings with her in the lead up to the day, she had a fun and engaging style which made it a great experience to chat through our journey as a couple. She had great ideas for the ceremony and on the day her speech was exactly the right level of funny, touching and personal to us as a couple. A lot of our guests stated that she was a real highlight of the wedding. I would highly recommend.

Amazing Celebrant

As a retired wedding photographer, I have attended many weddings. Margaret was the celebrant at my daughter's wedding. The ceremony was by far the most personal, touching, and amazing ceremony I have ever heard - not just because it was my daughters, but all their guests, thought so too. It was because Margaret really got to know my daughter and son-in-law. She had several one-to-one meetings with them, she listened and then put everything they told her into the most wonderful love story. She is a genuinely lovely lady, professional and caring. So, if you’re looking for a wedding celebrant with a very personal touch - look no further!

Above and beyond expectations - simply amazing

From our first meeting with Margaret, we knew that she was a cut above the rest of the celebrants we had spoken to.
She was incredibly warm and welcoming but also clearly a professional and excellent at what she does.
She made us feel at ease throughout the whole process of planning the ceremony. Not only did she make us feel secure, knowing that she was going to do a good job but she also brought ideas and experience that enhanced our ceremony beyond what we had hoped it would be.
We’ve had numerous comments from family and friends about how much they enjoyed the ceremony that Margaret had put together and delivered.
We would strongly recommend Margaret to anyone considering using a celebrant - she was fantastic.

Wonderful Wedding on the beach

Margaret is a real star and her warm, flexible way of listening, suggesting and organising meant that we arrived at the perfect wedding for us and are families.She has a very friendly, light touch with a good sense of humour and from the off I just knew our ceremony was in safe hands.
We had good planning meetings and lots of emails back and forth to make sure everything was just right.
Margaret met us again on the beach on the morning of the wedding, to make a circle of stones in the sand, which my grandsons decorated, and to make sure that everything was just right and that we were happy with it. Which we were!
When the time came we met up with everyone by the stream, Margaret had mingled with the families and from then on everything just joyfully fell into place!
Margaret led the most wonderful and moving ceremony, tailor made for us, in the nicest possible way!
After the ceremony my nephew rushed up and asked Margaret if she could do his wedding next year! he could tell that Margaret does things in a very special way.
We cannot recommend her highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
