All the Wedding ceremonies I have conducted over the years are bespoke, suiting the  specific wishes of the couple, and vary in style from fairly formal and traditional with maybe lots of guests, through to being more informal with just a few friends attending. I have conducted ceremonies in castles, manor houses, hotels, barns, university colleges, on river banks and clifftops overlooking the ocean … and in beautiful family homes and gardens. Currently Humanist Weddings in England do not have legal status, so my couples tend to do a simple legal registration at a time that suits them.

Funerals and Memorial ceremonies are very special occasions. The majority of the funerals I conduct are still held in crematoria or cemeteries …   but with the growing trend for direct cremation, more people are choosing to have a memorial ceremony in a beautiful and special location where we can tailor the occasion to your exact wishes, without the usual constraints.  Alternatively, a natural burial ground is also a really personal and natural environment to hold a funeral ceremony.  I believe an important aspect in all my services is to create a calm and appropriate atmosphere, where the ceremony words and music have been carefully chosen to ensure we are giving the person a great send off. I have experience of all sorts of funerals and memorials – having conducted well over 1,000 – and for all ages and situations, in a variety of locations.
