About
Feel like you have to get your wedding ceremony out of the way before the fun starts? That's where I come in!
I'm Connie, the face behind Wit & Wonder Ceremonies. I'm a wedding celebrant based in Manchester, Greater Manchester, UK, and I'm here to put the love, life, and laughter back into your wedding ceremony. I'll work with you to create a funny, moving and memorable ceremony that reflects your relationship, your personalities and your love for each other.
As a classically trained actor, standing up and performing in front of large crowds is second nature to me, and means you won't have to worry about me not being heard at the back. The five years I spent as a wedding venue coordinator before I became a celebrant also means I can help you with any wedding planning questions you might have along the way. Need supplier recommendations, wedding day timeline tips or family drama advice? I've got you covered. I'm basically your own personal wedding guru!
I'm available to host your day as well! Once the ceremony is done, if you'd like me to stick around and make sure your day runs without a hitch, round up your family for the group shots, shepherd your guests around the venue, and give you the kick-ass introduction to the room that you deserve, then ask me about my Ceremony & MC/Host package.
If you want a ceremony that truly reflects you as a couple, and has plenty of belly laughs, happy tears and a few emotional sucker punches thrown in for good measure, then get in touch. Let me tell your story in all its glorious, messy, hilarious detail, and you'll get a ceremony that you and your guests will remember forever.
I'm based in Manchester and cover all of Lancashire, Cheshire and the North West, but I'm very portable, and I will happily travel wherever a good love story takes me. All the information you need, including my pricing and what's included, can be found on my website, or send me a message on here and we can have a natter. I can't wait to talk to you about your big day!

Reviews for Wit & Wonder Ceremonies
Wit you Wondering for? Book Connie now!
Connie is warm, chatty, thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, and endlessly helpful. She supported us in planning the day, arranging vendors, and was the ultimate hype girl when I bought my wedding dress- in fact she was one of the only people to see the dress before the big day!
When planning the ceremony we met for lunch to go over everything. Connie took the time to really get to know us and learn our story. As a result of this our ceremony felt so personal, warm, and US. It was heartfelt, funny, and completely unique. So many of our guests have since told us it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever attended and our family and friends all loved her too. She took the ceremony from being the legal bit that can sometimes drag to being one of the highlights of the day. Something I loved was knowing Connie would be there, not just a random registrar, but just having her in the room took the stress out of us, things were in control, someone we knew and trusted. (Sorry registrars!)
We didn’t just have Connie for the ceremony, but also hired her to stay for the rest of the day as our MC and wedding host, something we highly, highly, recommend. She was an incredible organiser, seamlessly managing all the little details we might have missed: hyping up the crowd for our entrance, adjusting music for speeches, coordinating the confetti, and so much more (some of which we probably don’t even know she handled!). She also dipped out for the first kiss photo and put my veil back in swiftly when it fell out haha.
Connie, thank you so so so so much for all of your help, support, for writing the most perfect ceremony and making sure we had the most perfect wedding.
100/10 review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
To say she put the Wit & Wonder into our day would be an understatement.
From the moment we met her at a wedding fair, we booked her on the spot. We hadn’t seen reviews, we didn’t need to. What we did know is that she was the right person to tell our story. Connie was the first vendor we booked for our whole wedding, and we chose our wedding date around her availability. Best decision we’ve ever made.
Connie took the next 18 months getting to know us, as a couple and as individuals. And we got the pleasure of getting to know her in return (an added bonus). She was always on hand with a host of knowledge on weddings, what to do, where to go, and what you need - topped off with a comical gif. We wouldn’t have been able to plan a wedding without her.
When the day came, she was truly in her element. Our ceremony was filled with energy, love and laughter. The warmth, joy, delicious wit, and wonderful personality we had come to know in Connie was shining and the whole room felt it.
A Wit & Wonder ceremony is unlike any other, it bypasses the grey suits and scary legal fanfare of a registrar and instead focuses on what really matters - the couple committing to each other. The whole ceremony was so personal to us and our guests were really engaged throughout.
All day, and after, friends and family kept coming up to me and saying how incredible she was and how amazing the ceremony was. A direct quote from a couple of engaged pals: “We’ll be having Connie”. Everybody loved her as much as we do.
We chose to have Connie as our celebrant but we also upgraded to her day-long package so she could be there on the day to help co-ordinate and we can’t recommend doing that enough. She had worked with most of our vendors previously and had a great working relationship that made things go smoothly so that we could spend the day enjoying ourselves with loved ones. The whole thing went seamlessly, how many couples can say that?
A review simply can’t capture how brilliant she is. We would give her 100 stars if we could. For that special ceremony we can’t recommend her more. Thank you Connie, for everything - The Rileys x
A brilliant celebrant and a wonderful person
From the start, Connie was so friendly and warm, making the entire process feel personal and relaxed. She delivered exactly what we had asked for: a ceremony that was filled with genuine fun and reflected who we are as a couple. The moment we saw her, all our nerves disappeared, and we knew we were in the best hands.
Connie has a remarkable gift for striking the perfect balance between heartfelt emotion and genuine humour. She told our story with such wit and warmth that our guests were captivated - laughing and tearing up at all the right moments. The ceremony felt incredibly personal, thanks to her thoughtful approach, and she even suggested a ring warming, which was such a beautiful and meaningful touch that we'll cherish forever.
So many of our guests came up to us throughout the day and talked about how incredible she was. When we thanked her during our speech, she received a well-deserved cheer and round of applause, which speaks volumes about her impact.
Connie's contribution made our special day truly unique and unforgettable. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. She is a brilliant celebrant and a wonderful person. Thank you, Connie, for your special contribution and for adding so much love and laughter to our wedding.
Best ceremony EVER
We hired her for the whole day which was a brilliant decision because she really kept the vibe going from getting guests swinging their napkins to just fitting right in!
I honestly do not have the words for what a perfect job she did but if I had to do it all again I'd hire her a thousand times over
She guided us through writing our vows and included every quirky thing we asked for, nothing is too rogue for her
She spoke to us in the morning and checked in with us and honestly just put us both at ease
Throughout the ceremony she had people laughing, crying, and gasping at the revelations from what we'd put in our questionnaires months before
It genuinely felt like someone who had known us our entire relationship was taking everyone on a journey through our lives and it will always be one of my favourite memories ever
Thank you so much Connie, you helped make our absolute perfect day that I will always remember so so fondly
The best decision we made
Connie supported us every step of the way, both in the lead-up and on the wedding day itself. She reviewed our timeline, recommended suppliers, helped us with our vows, and was always there to listen when things got overwhelming. On the day, she went above and beyond—fixing our audio guestbook when it stopped working, sewing me into my dress, pinning a bridesmaid’s dress, and constantly running around supporting guests and the venue team. She was Wonder Woman! I am a type A person but I could relax completely because I knew Connie had things in hand.
We were nervous about getting married, but by the time the day came it felt like we were meeting a friend at the end of the aisle.
Thank you, Connie, for delivering a ceremony that our guests are still talking about and calling the best they’ve ever been to. We’ll never forget it.
Don’t hesitate to book Connie it will be the best decision you’ve made!

A celebrant who made our wedding “unbelievably us”
On the run up she got to know us thoroughly, as reflected in her incredibly personal ceremony. She made everyone laugh and cry and we had so many comments about how wonderful the ceremony was. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone who wants a unique and timeless wedding.
More celebrant weddings please!
Connie from Wit and Wonder is a Friendly Wedding Ninja!
She has been a fountain of knowledge and a pillar of support, truly going above and beyond throughout our entire wedding planning process. Unless you do this professionally, planning a wedding is hard, but Connie made it all so much easier with her wealth of knowledge, awesome vendor recommendations, thoughtful advice on the order of the day, and simply by being there to listen. She’s been our biggest cheerleader, celebrating with us when we hit key milestones or finally tackled something we’d been putting off!
And of course, she delivered an absolutely amazing ceremony.
She told our story in such a beautiful way that had everyone laughing, smiling, and even tearing up with joy.
She was with us the entire day and helped things run so smoothly behind the scenes; from helping the photographers gather family and friends for photos, to ensuring the music and entrances were seamless and full of energy, hyping up the crowd when needed, supporting our vendors, and being a go-to person for guests. Thanks to her, we were able to fully relax and enjoy ourselves without a single worry.
If we ever need a celebrant again, Connie will be the first person we call, and we truly cannot recommend her highly enough.
Saying thank you doesn’t quite capture our appreciation for everything you did to make our day so special, but thank you Connie.
Joe & Jade
Just wow!!!
She lights up the room and brought so much fun and joy to our wedding! I've never known anyone with such an infectious personality that makes you feel so at ease
She was absolutely amazing on the day and helped out so much, even helped mark our wedding quiz!
Would one million percent recommend Connie to anyone getting married!
The best celebrant there is!!
From the moment we met Connie we knew she was EXACTLY who we needed to make our ceremony and day perfect ! We booked her for her MC package and she was amazing from start to finish - we still have people who come up to us this day and say “that Connie lady was brilliant wasn’t she?!”
AND SHE WAS!
She put together the perfect ceremony of us, a complete and total love letter to us as a couple and the journey we’ve been on, that had our family, friends and us in tears (of joy obviously) from start to finish. She helped us write our own vows, gave tips on planning for the day for things we hadn’t even thought about yet and was never far away with a funny gif!
I said it to Connie on the day and I’ll say it again “thank you for giving us the perfect wedding day”
A simply wonderful ceremony
Every now and then you meet someone who is on this planet to do a thing.
Thank You, Connie!
Connie took time to get to know us as a couple and was such a valuable source of support and guidance at every moment during our wedding planning and preparations. Connie became much more than just our celebrant and we are so pleased that we chose Connie to play such a special part in our wedding journey.
We enjoyed completing the couple's questionnaire which allowed Connie to create a beautiful ceremony which told our story so perfectly. Every single one of our guests commented on how personal the ceremony was and how it moved them to tears and laughter.
We can't thank Connie enough for providing us with a wedding ceremony that we could only have dreamed of!
100/10 the best experience!
Amazing wedding celebrant!
