We used Binny as our celebrant for our wedding back in May. Couldn’t recommend her services enough!

We couldn’t recommend Ewan more. He had come recommended to us by another celebrant, and we are so grateful that our paths crossed as it really was the most special ceremony and everything we dreamt of. We knew from the moment we got engaged that we didn’t want a traditional (or religious) ceremony, and that we really wanted a ceremony that reflected who we were, our values, and one that brought some joy to the day… and Ewan answered the brief perfectly! Leading up to the wedding we spent a few laughter filled evenings in the local pub together, where he asked us about our backgrounds, our story, our families, our interests and he crafted all of these conversations into a ceremony filled with lovely stories, lots of laughter and some really beautiful personal moments that we wanted to share with our loved ones. Our families didn’t understand why we weren’t having a ‘traditional’ ceremony, and they didn’t really know what a humanist ceremony entailed but after the ceremony they really got it, with guests commenting on how lovely (and refreshing) it was to experience a ceremony so personalised to us as individuals and our lives together. Many said it was the best ceremony they have ever experienced. I couldn’t recommend Ewan more, he really is the best in the business and we often talk to this day about how much we loved working with him. Thank you for everything Ewan!

Denise was the celebrant at our wedding and made the whole occasion very special, her warmth and professionalism helped to guide us through the logistics and planning in a timely manner which meant we felt very confident we would have the relaxed informal ceremony we wanted. We had a wonderful day and we were thrilled to have Denise as our celebrant.

Our son and daughter in law worked with Rachel for their wedding in May and it was such a beautiful ceremony. Rachel obviously had taken the time to get to know them both and their ‘story’. The ceremony was very personal to the couple and really made their day so special. Thank you Rachel.

We were so lucky to find Eleanor to craft and lead our wedding ceremony. From the very beginning, Eleanor was so incredibly warm and encouraging, meeting us on multiple occasions to discuss every part of the ceremony, and suggesting ways to weave our ideas together, both logistically and creatively. She took the time to get to know us and our story, and then created a beautiful ceremony script (with plenty of humour) that was completely ours - being flexible with any tweaks (not that we had any!). Eleanor welcomed our wish to involve as many important people as possible, making it easy for them to put their parts together, and keeping these a wonderful surprise until the wedding day. Considering our love of music, she encouraged a hearty group sing-along, which will be one of our favourite memories of the day, as well as a beautiful ring warming accompanied by song. On the day, Eleanor's ceremony delivery was just perfect, and many of our guests asked afterwards if she was a friend of ours (we now definitely feel she is!) The ceremony set the tone for the day - warm, personal and joyful. Eleanor printed our family and friends' readings and stories, and afterwards we received a beautiful copy of our ceremony script for us to treasure. These touches matched Eleanor's level of care throughout the planning process - checking in, questionnaires, sending us a 'date night' package etc. If you are considering a celebrant-led ceremony, do it, and choose Eleanor! We knew with confidence our ceremony was in safe hands - Eleanor is truly wonderful at what she does.

Melody officiated our wedding on New Years Eve at The Milner, York, and did an incredible job. Melody made sure to get to know us personally and learn our story, including zoom calls and an in-person meeting at a pub in York, which really helped give the ceremony a personal touch. Melody gave us great advice on different options for the ceremony, and even helped review our vows which we wrote personally, giving us tips, example vows for inspiration, and pointers to tweak them so that they didn't have totally different lengths or vibes, which we both found really useful. Melody told our story during the ceremony which was great for all the guests, and the ceremony ran amazingly. We actually received many compliments from multiple different guests throughout the day, all saying how great a job Melody did! We both highly recommend Melody!
