Not Just Another Wedding Ceremony…
This isn’t just any wedding or civil partnership ceremony, it’s yours!
You don’t want your wedding ceremony to feel like it could belong to anyone else. You want a wedding or civil partnership ceremony that feels personal, enjoyable, inclusive, and meaningful. You want more than a generic template where only the names have been changed (and not always correctly!).
With a professional, experienced wedding celebrant by your side, your ceremony will feel relaxed, heartfelt, and completely “you.” Your wedding ceremony will set the tone for your day and your future, rather than feeling like a formality for you and your guests to tick off before the real celebration starts.
A ceremony created especially for you? That’s where I can help!
Meet Kathryn – An Experienced Wedding Celebrant in London.
Congratulations, how exciting that you’re planning a wedding or civil partnership!
I’m a professionally accredited, highly experienced wedding celebrant, specialising in modern, non-traditional and equality-focused ceremonies. As a wedding celebrant, I create warm, inclusive, and joyful wedding ceremonies for couples across London and beyond.
Every ceremony I write is completely bespoke. I’ll take the time to get to know you both; your story, your values, your in-jokes, your memories, and the things that matter most to you. I’ll weave them into a ceremony that could only ever belong to you.
Together, we’ll craft a celebration that feels intentional, unique, and joyful. The perfect beginning to your wedding day and your future!

A Wedding Ceremony That Truly Reflects You
Your wedding or civil partnership deserves to be as unique as your love story. With a wedding celebrant, every word and every moment can be chosen with intention, creating a relaxed, enjoyable and meaningful ceremony you’ll remember forever.
Imagine a ceremony where:
Every word, action, and detail feels authentic to you both.
Outdated traditions are replaced with personal, heartfelt touches.
You feel celebrated, supported, and completely at ease
The ceremony is every bit as joyful as the party that follows
All this is possible with a celebrant wedding! Let’s make it happen!
If this feels like the kind of celebration you’ve been imagining, I’d love to hear from you. We can chat, and explore what’s possible for your ceremony.
My fee for your individually-crafted ceremony is £1,200.
You’re investing in a wedding that is completely personal to you both. So start the celebrations with a ceremony just as meaningful and unique as the rest of your day, led by a professionally accredited celebrant with years of experience.
A ceremony with me includes everything below, making sure that your ceremony is fabulous, and that you feel reassured, supported and celebrated!
Before your big day:
A no-obligation ‘connection call’ before booking, so we can double-check we’re a good match.
My collection of wedding planning resources and ideas, a great way to start thinking about your ceremony.
A couple’s wed-meet, where we chat all about you, your story and how you want your wedding ceremony to feel, so I can get writing!
I’m available throughout your wedding planning to answer questions, bounce ideas around and advise on hugely talented wedding suppliers that reflect real diversity.
An individually-crafted, lovingly-created ceremony script, written by me, but completely, uniquely yours.
A ‘You’re getting married!’ call, to reconfirm and reassure with a top-up of moral support!
Plus, I can support with vow writing too.
On your big day:
I’m exclusively yours - I only book one civil partnership or wedding ceremony per weekend, I’m totally focused on you!
I’ll expertly lead your civil partnership or wedding ceremony with warmth & joy.
Travel within London, and into Kent, Sussex & Surrey. I happily travel further afield and will confirm additional costs before you book.*
Full public liability and professional indemnity insurance and quality assurance via Humanists UK.
*If the journey time to your ceremony is 2 .5 hours or more, I’ll need to include a local stay the night before. I’ll always chat to you first, though.
After your big day:
A keepsake ceremony script for you to look back on, plus a couple of little extra mementoes.
I donate 5% of every booking to charity. I’m supporting Bromley & Croydon Women’s Aid (BCWA). *From April 2025, in response to the Supreme Court’s attack on Trans rights, couples can now choose between BCWA, or Not a Phase, a Trans-led charity uplifting the UK Trans Community.
Let’s Chat! Enquire about your date and book a call.
Feel free to share as much or as little as you’d like below. Don’t feel you have to have all the answers! I’ll work with you to figure out what will make your ceremony feel-good, fabulous and 100% YOU!
**I use public transport wherever possible - it’s a great way to take care of our environment

I pride myself on being a truly inclusive celebrant, here’s why…
I know how it feels to not see yourself represented when planning a wedding or civil partnership. So I specialise in creating ceremonies for couples who don't always see themselves reflected in the wedding world:
Maybe you're introverted, or nervous about feeling ‘on display’.
Maybe you're celebrating finding love for the second (or third, or fourth!) time.
Perhaps you're Neurodivergent, Disabled, or are managing your mental health and need a ceremony to prioritise your comfort.
Perhaps you’re navigating tricky family dynamics and want a wedding ceremony without assumptions about what ‘family’ means.
💜I see you!💜
You deserve a wedding or civil partnership ceremony that makes you feel seen, heard, and celebrated! A wedding ceremony that prioritises your comfort instead of making you feel like the proverbial square peg. As your wedding celebrant, I’ll make sure that instead of feeling constrained by tradition, expectations, assumptions and/or the patriarchy(!) your wedding is full of warmth, fun and joy.
You deserve to be celebrated, and I’d be honoured to be the person celebrating you!
“Kathryn made everything so special and unique to us... The ceremony was a magical moment!”
