Wedding Celebrant & Vow Renewals: Oxfordshire & Cotswolds

A Bespoke Ceremony, from £715

If you're considering a non-religious celebrant for your wedding or for the renewal of your vows, it's because you value someone who will take the time to tailor the ceremony for you. You're probably not the sort of people who follow the crowd or are happy to go with something vanilla. Maybe you like traditions, as long as you put your own twist on them. And for you, it doesn't need a religious element. In which case, we're already on the same wavelength!


When it comes to the wedding ceremony itself, you are likely to want someone who can switch between light-hearted and solemn, as the moment dictates. Because then you will get the ceremony that lifts your hearts and reflects who you are as a couple.


Creating wedding ceremonies that will leave you and your guests with incredible memories takes a lot of preparation. And a lot of thought. You will need guiding through this process so that you leave no stone unturned. It will be a wonderful journey - as much part of the fun as the day itself.


The typical process for engaging with a celebrant can be found here.


Can a humanist celebrant legally marry us?

It's important to note that whilst engaging a humanist celebrant gives you huge scope to tailor your ceremony, we're not able to legally marry you (yet, but that is changing). That's fine, as that can be addressed separately. I explain more about the process here.


Which area do you cover?

I am based in the Cotswolds, in Oxfordshire. To read more about my story, click here. I mostly work along the M40 corridor, but am available to officiate ceremonies anywhere, subject to travel expenses.

Recent Weddings

Here's a flavour of some recent weddings...


In 2025, I've had the pleasure of doing a number of beautiful and varied weddings throughout the Cotswolds. These include Jess and Gus (see picture, right) with a lovely, relaxed ceremony at Woodstock Town Hall. I married Conor and Amber in the garden of one of the Oxford colleges. And one really memorable event, was when Californians, Elliott and Zoe, engaged me to officiate a truly intimate wedding in the garden of a beautiful Cotswold country farmhouse.
