Heart Warming Ceremonies for Happy Days

The best ceremonies are the ones which have people belly laughing one minute and reaching for the tissues the next…

Brian was our wedding celebrant and we were not disappointed! He made planning the ceremony a breeze for us and personalised it all to our taste.  Many of our friends and family complimented us on how they enjoyed our ceremony and in particular how excellent Brian was as a celebrant and how he delivered the relaxed but fun atmosphere we wished for on the day.

What's My Vibe?

In a nutshell…I am about making the most of the one life we all have, seeking to understand the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and hoping there is something out there, bigger than us. I like treating those around me with warmth, understanding, and respect.

As a religious solemniser I am not typical of religion in a traditional sense. I am all about all faiths and none, so to me it doesn’t matter whether you believe in spirit or not- let’s live and let live.

A ceremony is about celebrating culture, roots and heritage and everything in between. Your ceremony will feel totally welcoming and inclusive regardless of the faith or beliefs of you or your guests may have. And you don’t necessarily have to ‘identify’ as anything, in order to have someone like me marry you. I will take you as I find you.

Love is Love – An Inclusive Approach

Love knows no boundaries, and neither do I. As an LGBTQI+ friendly celebrant, I passionately believe that love is universal and should be celebrated without limits. Whether you’re planning a Civil Ceremony, a Non-Religious Wedding, or another milestone, my approach ensures that every detail resonates with inclusivity and warmth.
