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!

Every now and then you meet someone who is on this planet to do a thing.

Every now and then you meet someone who is on this planet to do a thing. Connie is one of those rare cookies. For so many people at our wedding, including close friends, they said they had no idea of the story behind our relationship, how we met, twists, turns, lefts, rights - everyone was laughing, crying and just about every emotion in between. So glad we chose Connie. She told our story in the most amazing way. A true gem.

A simply wonderful ceremony

We are so pleased we met Connie at the start of our wedding planning. From start to finish, she was absolutely brilliant and we knew after meeting her we didn't want anyone else to tell our story and go on this bonkers journey with! Wedding planning can be confusing, and it can take you in all sorts of different directions and you can find yourself asking lots of strange, random questions - Connie was there to ease any anxiety and give us a guiding hand throughout the process. It was a lovely experience sharing our journey with her, and all of our guests commented how they had never witnessed a ceremony quite so personal or romantic before. It was my favourite part of the day, and so much of that is due to Connie being the wonderful celebrant she is.

Thank You, Connie!

We decided to have a celebrant facilitate our wedding celebration as we wanted a personal ceremony that reflected us a couple. We first came across Connie from Wit & Wonder on Hitched, and from the very first message found Connie to be incredibly responsive and knew as soon as we met Connie that she was the perfect celebrant for us!
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!

Simply the best!

There are not enough words to describe how utterly BRILLIANT a celebrant Connie is. From start to finish she helped to make our ceremony perfectly personal, emotional, and completely out own!!
Don't just take our word for it- listen to what our guests were saying after our ceremony:
- "We didnt know you could have a ceremony like that. It was so beautiful!"
- "It was the best wedding ceremony we've ever seen"
- "We wish we could have had her at our wedding!!"
From making all our guests cry, and laugh, throughout our ceremony, she delivered a truly incredible, personal, and emotional touch to our wedding that made it more special than we could ever have imagined.
It would not be hyperbole to say that hiring Connie as our MC as well as celebrant was the best decision we could have made! Everything from meeting with her for the first time, to the process of planning our day including all the little details, and the big day itself was an absolute delight and a pleasure thanks to her efforts. Connie was wonderful at listening to us both, helping us work through and bring together all our ideas for our wedding, as well as encouraging us to really embrace the elements of our wedding that made it our own.
One of the absolute best parts of hiring Connie was that it meant we could truly relax and enjoy our day because we had absolute confidence in her to stay on top of everything, managed every situation, and keep everything organised and on-track.
We truly cannot recommend Connie highly enough!! Hiring her will be the best choice you can make for your big day!

The best celebrant there is!!

If you’re looking for a celebrant to make your day perfect then look no further!

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”

Tropical disco like no other

We recently had Connie (Wit & Wonder Ceremonies) conduct our wedding ceremony at five four studios in Salford. From start to finish of the whole process of Connie gathering our details/getting to know us was so much fun and the ceremony was a completely tailored to how we liked.

Connie created a ceremony that was funny, sweet and emotional all in one. Connie had our guests all warmed up and whooping before I walked down the aisle and then took us on a trip down memory lane reminiscing on our relationship, she made it such a relaxed and joyous environment. We had so many of our guests coming up to us throughout the day saying how much they loved it and how different it was to anything they had witnessed at a wedding.

We were so thrilled with our day and Connie is so lovely and easy to get on with. Five stars all round!

The perfect celebrant!

We first met Connie at a wedding fair in Manchester and we knew instantly that we wanted her as our celebrant. Her welcoming and personal approach made the process easy!. She made sure the whole day was incredibly special. From start to finish, from first meeting us personally and creating our personalised speech to delivering the most emotional and thoughtful service, she ensured to provide us with a unique experience that we would recommend to anyone. Everyone was so complementary of her and nothing was too much, even helping me getting into my wedding dress and helping out with the guests!
Thank you so much again for making our day so special! Worth every penny!

The best decision we made!

We cannot speak highly enough of Connie! My partner initially wasn't sold on the idea of a celebrant but after 5 minutes of meeting Connie at a wedding fayre he came around! One of the most personable, warmest and funniest people you will ever meet which is exactly what you want in someone telling your story. She made the whole process from start to finish a super fun and relaxed one and always checked in to make sure we didn't have any questions or concerns. She wrote us an absolutely beautiful ceremony filled with laughter, emotion and energy and further than that, was the first to fix my maid of honour's hair or even offer to lend us a backdrop for the ceremony itself! Our guests all loved her and the ceremony she gave and we couldn't have been happier she was free for our date. Connie - thank you so much for everything and can't wait to run into you at a Frank Turner gig in the future (the references to his songs in the ceremony were noted and appreciated!)💙

Connie is the BEST!

If you’re still deciding who to book as your celebrant then let us help you make the decision - Connie is the one!! We feel so so lucky to have found Connie. We didn’t really know much about celebrants but right from our first conversation, through to our evening at the pub, the wedding day itself and then now reminiscing about the most perfect day, we couldn’t have chosen a better person! We’ve had so many guests commenting on just how special and unique our ceremony was. It was so personal to us and Connie told our story in the most amazing way - with just the right blend of emotion, humour and professionalism. We really will cherish these memories forever and Connie had a huge part to play in making our wedding day perfect. Thank you Connie ❤️

Amazing wedding celebrant!

Connie did an incredible job at our wedding as Celebrant and MC! She took a lot of time beforehand to get to know us properly as a couple, which made the ceremony story so special, and we had so many comments from guests about how amazing the ceremony was. On top of that, she went above and beyond to make the rest of the day so smooth. We can't recommend her highly enough! We feel so privileged that she got to be a part of our day.

Connie @Witandwonderceremonies

The short review: Connie made our wedding ceremony. She was fun, enthusiastic, moving, funny, she’s your biggest cheerleader and you’ll feel like you’ve known her for years after being in her presence for around 60 seconds. Words cannot possible describe how highly recommended Connie is.

Long review- buckle in:
We decided to have a celebrant about a year before we were due to get married after watching many many (lovely but) very boring registrars at our nearest and dearests ceremony’s. We knew there had to be a better way. And there was CONNIE, Connie is the better way, the best way, nay the only way.

My partner (the main wedding coordinator) asked me to look at celebrants about 6 months into our wedding planning, we looked at websites and reviews and it was Connie we decided to meet one fateful day in Wilmslow in a coffee shop.

We met, started chatting and around 5 minutes into the conversation my partner and I exchanged a this is the one look.

Connie asked us about our lives, together, separately. We met up multiple times so Connie could build us a bespoke wedding ceremony. In the build up Connie helped us make decisions we didn’t even know we would have to think about making. Her job isn’t a back up wedding planner but she moulds herself to whatever you need. Last minute family drama, she’s there, she’s got you. You need inspiration for a wedding idea - she’s here, she’s got 3.

Our ceremony itself was perfect, we laughed, we cried. And our guests didn’t stop GUSHING about Connie, and we had so many people tell us it’s the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever been to.

Connie once again thank you, we bow down to your amazing storytelling ability, we will NEVER forget the ceremony you made for us.

Connie is Amazing!!

A year after our wedding and I still cannot put into words just how incredible Connie is.

We opted for a celebrant-led wedding so that our day would be as personal as possible and feel like 'us'. Wit & Wonder Ceremonies was the perfect choice for this. Connie could not have captured us as people (individually and as a couple) more beautifully. The whole ceremony was full of emotion. We've had so many compliments of it being the best ceremony our guests had been to - all thanks to Connie. Her efforts, her talent and her guidance.

The process was a lot of fun too. After being together for 12 years, it was lovely to sit and answer the questionnaires thinking over our relationship to a carefully curated wedding planning playlist.

Connie is far more than a celebrant though. She is a font of all wedding knowledge, she is MC and wedding planning extraordinaire, she is an amazingly talented writer and speaker. She was able to embrace and include our quirky requests and somehow managed to get our vows aligned despite our very different approaches to writing them.

I cannot recommend Connie of Wit & Wonder Ceremonies enough.

Everything we hoped for and more!

Connie was an iconic part of our wedding day. She fully lived up to her billing, writing witty and wonderful words to provide a beautiful look back through our lives together. All our guests loved her ceremony, which set up the fun and happiness for the rest of our day perfectly.

In the months beforehand, we had trips to the pub, alongside Zoom calls and WhatsApp messages, where Connie gave us so many great ideas about what our ceremony could be like. She added added a huge amount of fun and magic to the build up and planning stages, to make us forget about other elements that were becoming stressful. She even joined us for an evening of Disco Bingo at our chosen venue, to help get an idea of who we were as a couple and what the feel of the big day should be.

We honestly cannot recommend Connie enough to other couples. She is immensely thoughtful, a very talented writer and an extremely confident and assured presence, who will immediately put you at ease when you stand up in front of your guests. On top of everything else she was a great friend throughout, and booking her was easily one of the best decisions we made. 10/10!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
