Wedding Celebrant, Kathryn B Wilson in London and the Home Counties

A humanist wedding is a completely non-religious, personally tailored celebration that is welcoming and inclusive. Rather than following a fixed script, it focuses on your love story and the things that matter most to you as a couple. I conduct wedding ceremonies, civil partnerships, vow renewals and divorce ceremonies, and every ceremony can include unique vows, readings, poems, music and rituals such as handfasting or symbolic knot-tying. Unlike a civil or register office ceremony, it can take place anywhere that feels significant to you, and can be as small and intimate or as large and celebratory as you like.

A registry office ceremony follows a fixed, standardised script with very limited scope for personalisation, it's a legal formality rather than a celebration of you as a couple. A humanist ceremony is the opposite: it's written entirely around your story, your relationship, and the people who matter most to you. You can include your own vows, readings, music, rituals and humour, and hold it wherever feels meaningful, rather than a register office room on a fixed timetable. Couples often tell me it's the part of their wedding day their guests remember and talk about the most.

My fees for a bespoke UK wedding vary depending on the day of the week, with weekday availability limited for 2026 & beyond.

Starting from £1500.

I love getting to know couples as they plan one of the most meaningful days of their lives, and I bring 15 years of experience as a presenter across radio, TV and online to every ceremony I write and deliver.
