I Called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Engagement 11 Days Early (Here's the TikTok to Prove It)

Okay, so. I need to talk about the time I accidentally became a Taylor Swift prophet.

On 15th August 2025, buzzing after watching Taylor's appearance on New Heights, the podcast Travis co-hosts with his brother Jason (watch the episode here), I did what any self-respecting wedding celebrant would do: I made a TikTok about it, mid-delight, and told the internet exactly what I thought was coming. "I'm placing my bet now! These two will marry THIS YEAR!"

Eleven days later? Engaged. 🎉

Eleven months after that? Married. Madison Square Garden. About a thousand guests. The whole spectacle.

I mean, I KNEW IT.

The video's sitting at 186,000+ views and 4,000+ likes now, and honestly the comments are the best part. "You called it!!!""WELL YOU SAID THE TRUTH.""Girl guess whatttt." Someone asked if I'd thought about taking up fortune telling as a side hustle. Listen, I would not be mad about it.

Wedding Celebrant Predicts Taylor and Travis engagement

Here's the thing people forget about that episode: Taylor absolutely had something to sell. She used it to announce her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, release date, cover art, tracklist, the lot. It was one of the biggest promo moments of her year.

But that's exactly what made it so telling. Taylor Swift doesn't hand a reveal like that to just anyone. Her future fiancé got first access, before the label rollout, before the official countdown clock, before any of it. That's not a press strategy. That's a woman letting the person she loves be the one she shares it with first, and being happy enough about that fact that it leaked through every second of the episode.

It was, without question, the most "her" we'd seen Taylor in years. Not performing happy, that unmistakable, can't-quite-hide-it happy. And when you've sat across from as many couples as I have in the run-up to their weddings, you learn to spot that shift: the moment someone stops performing and starts just being, easily, obviously, "we already know and we don't even need to announce it yet" happy. That's the energy that made me shout "END GAME, this is IT" at my phone and immediately hit record.

Celebrity "prediction" videos are everywhere and most of them are safely vague: "they'll get married eventually," sure, thanks. Mine was dated, specific, posted before the fact, and eleven days out from the real thing. That's not a horoscope. That's pattern recognition from doing this job for real couples, regularly.

Reading a couple, spotting the exact moment they've quietly already decided, before they've told a soul, isn't a party trick I save for TikTok. It's genuinely the job. I just happened to do it, for once, in public, about two of the most famous people on the planet.

Wedding Celebrant Predicts Taylor and Travis engagement

I'm not saying Taylor and Travis are booking me for anything! But whether it's Madison Square Garden or a barn in Buckinghamshire, the joy looks the same once you know how to spot it. If you and your other half are somewhere in that "we already know" phase, I'd love to hear from you.

Wedding Celebrant at Blenheim Palace:

Victoria & Tom's Story

There are few venues in England as awe-inspiring as Blenheim Palace, and being the wedding celebrant for Victoria and Tom's celebration there was a genuine privilege. The couple travelled from Jersey to marry at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, and from our very first in-person meeting, it was clear their wedding was going to be as warm and personal as it was grand.

Meeting In Person

Victoria and Tom made the journey from Jersey to meet with me ahead of the big day, and that face-to-face time made all the difference. Writing your own wedding vows can feel daunting, and for many couples it's the part of the day they worry about most. We took it step by step — talking through their relationship, the moments that mattered most to them, and the tone they wanted their ceremony to strike. What emerged was a ceremony that balanced heartfelt sincerity with genuine humour, reflecting exactly who Victoria and Tom are as a couple.

A Luxury Wedding at Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace is one of the UK's most iconic luxury wedding venues, and Victoria and Tom's day was planned by Bespoke London, whose meticulous, tailored approach to luxury wedding planning helped bring every detail of the day together beautifully. Working alongside their team to deliver a ceremony that matched the scale and elegance of the setting was a wonderful experience.

The Ceremony

On the day, the goal was simple: make Victoria and Tom feel completely at ease, so their personalities — and their story — could shine through. Here's what they had to say afterwards:

"We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding celebrant for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Kathryn made us feel completely at ease. Initially, the ceremony and writing our own vows was something we were quite worried about but Kathryn helped us through every part. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our ceremony really reflected that. It was the perfect balance between heartfelt and humour which is exactly how we are as a couple. We really can't recommend Kathryn enough, she was calming and always very responsive, coming back to us pretty much immediately on any questions we had. She made the day so personal and touching. We can't thank her enough!"

If you're planning a wedding at Blenheim Palace, or any other luxury venue across London and the Home Counties, and want a ceremony that's entirely your own — heartfelt, personal, and true to who you are as a couple — I'd love to help. Get in touch to talk through your plans.

What Is a Wedding Celebrant?

(My Neighbours Still Don't Know, So I Made a TikTok About It)

A few months ago I filmed a little sketch on my doorstep. Two versions of me. One asking, in that classic "quick question" tone, "What's a wedding celebrant?" The other trying to explain it while very obviously losing the room halfway through, the way people do when someone asks about your job and their eyes glaze over by sentence three.

It's now sat at 184,700 views, 2,282 likes and 155 saves, which tells me one thing loud and clear. Nobody actually knows what a wedding celebrant is. Not my followers, not my neighbours, and if I'm honest, not even some of my own family before I started doing this for a living.

So let's actually answer it properly.

A wedding celebrant is someone who works with a couple, from the very first conversation, to write and lead a completely bespoke ceremony. Not a template. Not a script pulled off a shelf. Your actual love story, structured into words, read aloud by someone who's spent hours getting to know how you met, what you love about each other, and what you want this particular hour of your life to feel like.

Wondering what a wedding celebrant actually does?

Luxury celebrant Kathryn B Wilson explains, with the viral TikTok that proves nobody quite knows.

One comment on the video asked, quite fairly, "so a wedding planner?" Nothing like a wedding planner, and it's worth being precise about the difference, because I get this one a lot. A wedding planner handles the logistics, the venue, the flowers, the timeline, the seating chart. A registrar handles the legal side, the bit that makes the marriage official on paper, following a fixed script with very little room to personalise. A celebrant is neither of those. My entire job is the ceremony itself: the words, the story, the fifteen or twenty minutes where everyone in the room actually stops checking their phone because what's being said is genuinely about the two people standing in front of them.

That's the part people don't picture when they hear "celebrant." They imagine someone reading from a book. What actually happens, on the day, is that a couple's whole relationship and love story gets built into something they'll remember word for word, told by someone who was trusted to write it properly.

For the kind of weddings I work on, at places like Blenheim Palace or Cliveden House, that distinction matters even more. A grand setting deserves a ceremony that matches it, not a generic script that could belong to anyone. The venue sets the scene. The ceremony is what makes it yours.

So if you're currently the person on the other end of that "what do you actually do?" conversation, or you're planning a wedding and wondering who's meant to write the bit everyone actually listens to about you and your relationship, that's the job. And if you'd like to talk about yours, get in touch.

Luxury Wedding Celebrant at Petersham Nurseries:

Autumn & Adam's Story

Most people know Petersham Nurseries as a garden centre and restaurant tucked away in Richmond, which is exactly what makes it such an exciting choice for a wedding. It isn't the obvious venue, and that's the point. For Autumn and Adam, that quiet exclusivity was exactly what they were looking for, and being their luxury wedding celebrant for their intimate garden dinner party wedding was an absolute joy.

An Intimate Garden Dinner Party, Not a Traditional Wedding

From the outset, Autumn and Adam knew a conventional wedding format wasn't for them. Instead, they chose to host an intimate garden dinner party: a beautiful outdoor ceremony, followed by a cocktail drinks reception, and finished with a Michelin star four course meal inside Petersham's stunning indoor garden room. It's a format that suited both their personalities and the setting perfectly, and it meant every part of the day flowed naturally into the next.

Wedding Ceremony Reception at Petersham Nurseries

A Venue Built Around Nature

Petersham Nurseries is known for its glasshouses filled with antique furniture, trailing vines and seasonal blooms, offering a botanical, softly lit backdrop that feels a world away from the city just minutes outside. The venue's own team works alongside expert florists and a Michelin Green Star restaurant to curate every wedding, using seasonal British blooms and produce led menus, which meant Autumn and Adam's day felt genuinely rooted in its setting rather than layered on top of it.

A Ceremony That Brought Everyone In

One of the most important parts of the day for Autumn and Adam was making sure guests who had travelled from out of town, and from abroad, and who hadn't been present for their legal ceremony, still felt part of the full ceremonial experience. Together, we wove in traditional British rituals so that every guest, wherever they'd come from, felt genuinely included in the moment, not just the celebration afterwards.

What Autumn Said

"For our special day, we didn't want the typical, traditional fair and hosted an intimate garden dinner party instead. Kathryn helped us bring that vision to life while making our friends and family feel part of the magic and ceremony. It was important for us to have those from out of town/abroad who didn't attend our legal ceremony have the full ceremonial experience filled with some traditional (British) rituals.

Thanks to Kathryn's creativity, humour and ingenuity, our day was a success for us and all our guests. Plus as a seasoned pro, she eliminated any wedding planning stress (or concerns) from the ceremony part of the day. Seriously! If you're looking for someone to help make your special day uniquely YOURS, highly recommend Kathryn as your humanist celebrant."

If you're drawn to something a little different, a beautiful, botanical setting that isn't the obvious choice but is all the more memorable for it, Petersham Nurseries offers a genuinely unique backdrop for a luxury wedding celebration. I'd love to help you create a ceremony as personal as Autumn and Adam's. Get in touch to talk through your plans.

An Intimate Vow Renewal at Cliveden House:

Gennifer and Jei - Vow renewal after 22 years of marriage - Cliveden House

Jei & Gennifer's Story

When Jei and Gennifer got in touch from Seattle, Washington, they were planning something special: a vow renewal at Cliveden House to mark over 20 years of marriage. They wanted to travel across the Atlantic for an intimate celebration in one of England's most beautiful stately homes, and I couldn't have been more honoured to be part of it.

Planning a Vow Renewal from Across the Atlantic

Distance is never a barrier to creating a meaningful ceremony. Jei, Gennifer and I began the process over Zoom, and from that very first call it felt less like a planning meeting and more like catching up with old friends. We talked, we laughed, and — by their own admission there were a few happy tears too.

Vow renewals are a wonderful opportunity to reflect on a marriage as it stands today, not just as it began. Rather than repeating the vows from 20 years earlier, Jei and Gennifer wanted words that reflected who they are now: the years they'd shared, the life they'd built, and the love that had only deepened with time. Through a series of thoughtful questions and gentle encouragement, we crafted vows that were entirely their own — personal, honest, and full of the kind of detail only two decades together can provide.

Why Cliveden House

Cliveden House needs little introduction. With its formal gardens, sweeping parterre and unmistakable grandeur, it's one of the most sought-after luxury wedding and vow renewal venues in Buckinghamshire — and a setting that matches the significance of a milestone anniversary. For Jei and Gennifer, it was the perfect backdrop for an intimate, elegant ceremony surrounded by close family and friends.

The couple's wedding planning was also expertly handled by Susie Evans, an award-winning luxury wedding and events planner based in Surrey, specialising in bespoke celebrations at exclusive venues across the UK. It was a pleasure to work alongside Susie's meticulous planning to bring the day together seamlessly — this is one of several luxury weddings I've had the privilege of being celebrant for alongside her.

The Ceremony

On the day itself, Cliveden's timeless setting provided the backdrop for a ceremony full of warmth, laughter and a few happy tears. Guests later said it was the best vow renewal they'd ever witnessed — and hearing that kind of reaction from a couple's nearest and dearest is exactly why I love this work.

Here's what Jei and Gennifer had to say afterwards:

"Vows 2.0 with the Ultimate Love Celebrant! Let us just say, when you decide to renew your vows at a place as stunning as Cliveden House, you need someone who can match the magic. Enter — Miss Kathryn.

From our first Zoom call (we're from Seattle, WA), it felt like chatting with an old friend who just got us. We laughed, we cried (well, maybe just one of us) and my husband and I instantly knew she was the perfect person to guide us through this milestone.

Kathryn didn't just show up with a script, she brought soul, sparkle and the kind of care that made every step feel personal. She walked us through crafting our vows that truly reflected who we are now, not just who we were over 20 years ago when we first said "I do." Her thoughtful questions, encouragement and tips made it easy and even fun to put our hearts on paper.

The ceremony itself? A dream and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kathryn brought so much warmth and joy to the moment that even our family and friends couldn't stop raving. Our guests told us afterward that "that was the best vow renewal I've ever witnessed," and my husband and I know exactly why — it was because of her.

Thank you so much Kathryn for making our vow renewal unforgettable. We wish we could relive it all over again just to have you marry us. You made us laugh, cry and fall in love all over again. Truly, you're the officiant dreams are made of."

Planning Your Own Vow Renewal or Wedding at Cliveden House

Whether you're renewing your vows after 20 years, getting married for the first time, or planning an intimate celebration far from home, a humanist ceremony at a venue like Cliveden House offers something truly personal — a script written entirely around your story, with the freedom to include exactly what matters most to you.

If you're planning a wedding or vow renewal at Cliveden House, Or Hedsor House which is only moments away. Or perhaps you’re looking at Blenheim Palace, Claridge's, or any other luxury venue in London and the Home Counties, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch to talk through your ideas.

Wedding Celebrant at Hedsor House:

Victoria & Declan's Story

Some love stories take an unexpected turn along the way, and Victoria and Declan's is one of the most moving I have had the privilege of being part of. Their journey to their wedding celebration at the stunning Hedsor House is a testament to patience, resilience and the enduring strength of their commitment to each other.

A Wedding Postponed

In 2020, just days before their wedding at Hedsor House, the couple found themselves facing something no one could have planned for. COVID hit, and with it came the sudden need to rethink everything. Rather than lose the day altogether, Victoria and Declan made the decision to marry quietly and intimately, choosing to save their grand celebration for when it could truly be shared with the people they love.

Wedding Celebrant at Hedsor House

The Celebration, Finally

By March 2022, that moment arrived. Since Victoria and Declan were already legally married, what they wanted was something different from a traditional wedding ceremony: an opportunity to revisit their vows in front of family and friends, and to properly celebrate the milestone that COVID had once threatened to take from them.

Finding the right celebrant for such a personal and unusual brief took time, but once we met, it was clear we were the right fit for each other. Together we crafted a ceremony that honoured everything Victoria and Declan had been through since 2020: the setback, the patience, and the love that carried them to this point.

Hedsor House

Hedsor House is one of Buckinghamshire's most beautiful wedding venues, set within acres of parkland with sweeping views across the Thames Valley. As a celebrant based locally in Buckinghamshire, I have a real fondness for this venue and the way its history and grandeur provide such a fitting setting for a celebration of enduring love.

See more of what I’ve blogged about Hedsor

What Victoria & Declan Said

"When COVID hit in 2020, just days before our wedding at Hedsor, everything we had planned was suddenly up in the air. We had to rethink our approach and ultimately chose a more intimate ceremony, saving our grand celebration for a later date. By March 2022, it was finally time for our long awaited celebration. Since we were already married, we wanted a celebrant who could help us revisit our vows in front of family and friends. The search took time, but when we found Kathryn, we knew she was the perfect fit. She brought warmth, energy, and a unique perspective that made our ceremony truly special. Kathryn took the time to understand our journey and made sure every moment felt meaningful. If you're looking for a celebrant who brings passion, authenticity, and a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn."

Planning a Celebration at Hedsor House

If you are considering this beautiful venue for your own celebration, I would love to hear from you. Get in touch to talk through your plans.

Wedding Celebrant at Old Luxters Barn:

Mark & Megan's Story

Set within the Hambleden Valley's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Old Luxters Barn is one of my favourite local venues to work at, an 18th century converted barn on the grounds of Chiltern Valley Winery, surrounded by vineyards and orchards near Henley-on-Thames. Being wedding celebrant for Mark and Megan's celebration here was a genuine joy from our very first conversation to the final moment of their ceremony.

Getting to Know Mark & Megan

From that first call, it was clear Mark and Megan and I were the right fit for each other. My approach has always been to ask the right questions and really listen, so that a ceremony ends up sounding entirely like the couple standing in front of me rather than a generic script. With Mark and Megan, that meant drawing out their stories, their feelings, and the small details that mattered most to them, then shaping all of it into something that felt authentically theirs.

Luxury Wedding Celebrant Kathryn B Wilson with Megan & Mark

A Ceremony Built Together

What made this wedding special was how collaborative the process was. Mark and Megan were never afraid to ask for changes along the way, and I loved being able to refine and adjust their ceremony until it felt completely right, right up until it truly reflected who they are as a couple. That care paid off on the day itself, with a ceremony that struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and genuinely funny.

The Reaction Said It All

Since their wedding, Mark and Megan have told me about the sheer number of guests who came up to them afterwards with comments like "that was so you, it was perfect" and "that was the best ceremony I've ever been to." One guest even called it one of the most spectacular weddings they had ever attended. Hearing that kind of reaction from a couple's own family and friends is exactly why I love this work.

What Mark & Megan Said

"From start to finish Kathryn was amazing. As soon as we had our first call we knew she was the perfect fit for us, our ceremony and our vision of the day! She was always there to support and answer questions and was so enthusiastic, warm and friendly. She knew just what to say and ask to get the best out of us. We loved the final result, the ceremony was so true to us, who we are, and so special. Kathryn was so helpful with pulling out our ideas, feelings and stories and bringing them to life through a beautiful story. She was willing, enthusiastic and happy to get feedback and make edits as needed to make it 'more us', you can tell making it feel genuine and special is what truly matters to her. She was also a star on the day! Her presentation was heartfelt and moving, with the perfect touches of humour. Since the wedding, we've had numerous people comment on the ceremony, saying things like 'that was so you, it was perfect', 'that was the best ceremony I've ever been to', 'it was so genuine and full of love, so personal', and 'one of the most spectacular weddings we had ever attended, the ceremony, simply outstanding'. We cannot thank or recommend Kathryn enough! You made our day truly unique and special and you were absolutely amazing to work with. Thank you!"

"Kathryn was great right from the start! We knew right away she was the perfect fit for us and our day. She was kind, creative and knew how to get us to open up and share our stories. From there she was able to take our words and create something truly unique. From our first meeting to all the calls and support along the way to the final day, even making sure I had eaten beforehand, Kathryn was great. Thank you so much for everything, you really helped make our day something special."

A Family Affair at High Billinghurst Farm:

Rose & Tom's Story

Some weddings are about two people. Others, like Rose and Tom's celebration at High Billinghurst Farm, are unmistakably about a whole family. With their two children walking Rose down the aisle and a carousel turning away in the background, theirs was one of the most joy filled days I've had the honour of leading as celebrant.

A Setting for Something Different

High Billinghurst Farm, hidden away at the end of its own private lane in the Surrey countryside, has a way of encouraging couples to think beyond the traditional. Its barns, fireplaces and open countryside give a day room to breathe, and Rose and Tom used that space to bring in something few ceremonies include: a full size carousel, turning quietly nearby as guests arrived and celebrated.

Walked Down the Aisle by Her Children

For Rose, having her two children walk her down the aisle was never going to be a small detail tucked into the day, it was the heart of it. Building a ceremony around that moment meant thinking carefully about pacing, words and tone, so the significance of that walk landed exactly as it should. It's the kind of request that reminds me why no two ceremonies I write are ever the same.

Finding the Confidence to Speak From the Heart

One of the parts of this work I care about most is helping a nervous bride or groom find their own voice. Rose has spoken since about how much it meant to be encouraged to say exactly what she wanted to say on the day, in her own words, rather than following anyone else's script. That confidence, paired with plenty of warmth and fun throughout the planning process, shaped a ceremony guests are still talking about.

What Rose & Tom Said

"I cannot thank Kathryn enough for giving us a wedding ceremony that was so true to us. We have had so many comments on what a beautiful and different ceremony it was. Kathryn encouraged me to have the confidence to say what I wanted to say and she were kind and fun throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone xxx"

Luxury Wedding Celebrant at High Billinghurst Farm:

Charlotte & Rene's Story

Tucked away at the end of a long, meandering private lane in the Surrey countryside, High Billinghurst Farm is one of those rare venues that feels like an exclusive secret the moment you arrive. On 30th June 2022, I had the pleasure of being luxury wedding celebrant for Charlotte and Rene's celebration there, and it remains one of the most elegant, vibrant ceremonies I've had the privilege to be part of.

A Venue Full of Character

Set within 65 acres of rolling countryside and wildflower meadows, High Billinghurst Farm blends rustic charm with genuine glamour. The main barn, with its huge inglenook fireplace, sparkling chandeliers and warm timber interior, sits alongside the adjoining Elizabethan barn, giving couples a natural flow between ceremony and celebration. It's exactly the kind of setting that invites a couple to bring real personality and style to their day rather than follow a template, which suited Charlotte and Rene perfectly.

A Ceremony Full of Colour

Luxury Wedding Celebrant Love Celebrants at High Billinghurst Farm

Charlotte and Rene's ceremony was a masterclass in styling. Charlotte's bridesmaids wore striking orange and hot pink, chosen to match the couple's vivid floral designs, and the effect against the timber beams and soft countryside light of the Elizabethan barn was simply gorgeous. It's a detail I still think about, proof that a beautifully considered colour palette can transform a ceremony space into something truly memorable.

Creating Something Unique

From our very first conversation, it was clear Charlotte and Rene wanted a ceremony that felt entirely their own rather than a conventional one. Together we worked through ideas until we landed on something that reflected their personalities, their story as a couple, and the elegant, colourful vision they had for their day. Bringing the right energy to match a couple's own is one of my favourite parts of this work, and Charlotte and Rene's celebration had that in abundance.

What Charlotte & Rene Said

"Kathryn was amazing from start to finish, she came up with the best, most unique ideas for our day. It wouldn't have been the same without her! She had the perfect energy for our special day. I can't recommend her enough!"

Five reasons why you should consider hiring a humanist wedding celebrant for your wedding

Hello, hello, hello! If you’ve made it to this blog, you’re probably considering hiring a humanist wedding celebrant for your special day. HOW EXCITING! It can be difficult to decide on this key part of your wedding, so let me provide some reasons on why I feel I’d be the PERFECT fit for you!

Customised to your wedding

No two weddings are the same – so why would the same ceremony work again and again! I create a personalised ceremony that reflects your unique values and beliefs, your story and most importantly, YOU! As a humanist celebrant, I believe that your wedding ceremony should be a true reflection of who you are as a couple. (This is also my favourite part, as hearing the same stories from two different perspectives ALWAYS makes me laugh!)

Here for LOVE, not discrimination 

I am open to all couples, regardless of your backgrounds or beliefs! Humanism is a non-discriminatory philosophy that values the inherent worth and dignity of every human being! I am committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all couples, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. You deserve love, you deserve happiness, and I love to help you capture both of these things on your special day!

A non-religious alternative

Not everyone wants a religious wedding! I can offer a non-religious alternative to traditional wedding ceremonies: If you are looking for a ceremony that is free from religious language or symbolism, a humanist wedding may be the perfect choice for you. I can help you create a ceremony that is meaningful, authentic, and reflects your shared values and beliefs.

Environmentally conscious support

We all want to do more to support the environment – including on our wedding days! I can work with you to create a ceremony that is environmentally conscious, committing to promoting ethical and sustainable practices.

Whether that means using eco-friendly decorations, choosing a location that is easily accessible by public transportation, or incorporating sustainable rituals into your ceremony – there is always something we can do to help the planet a little more! 

Guidance, Support and Stress Relief!

There’s no beating around the bush here - wedding planning is STRESSFUL! So much goes into it, and it can be easy to get overwhelmed – and that’s where I come in! I can offer guidance and support throughout the wedding planning process, and I’m happy to help you every step of the way. Whether it’s choosing the perfect readings and music or creating a ceremony that reflects your unique love story, we can do it! Let’s craft your wedding the way YOU want it.

Five tips for planning the PERFECT Spring wedding!

Spring has sprung! The dark nights are in the rear-view mirror and wedding season is almost in full session… I am so excited! 

Planning the perfect Spring wedding involves careful consideration of various elements to create a memorable and beautiful celebration for your special day. I’ve done a LOT of Spring weddings in my time as a humanist wedding celebrant, so here are five essential tips for you to consider!

Find a flexible venue

Seems obvious, doesn’t it? Choosing a location that showcases the natural beauty of Spring, such as a space with a garden, outdoor park, or vineyard can encapsulate the season perfectly.

Ensure that the venue can accommodate both indoor and outdoor spaces, as the weather can be unpredictable during this season. It's important to have a backup plan in case of inclement weather! I have a couple of blogs from recent weddings on this site you can check out that perfectly cater for indoor and outdoor weddings – check them out for inspiration!

Capturing Colours

Select a colour palette that reflects the fresh and vibrant hues of Spring! Pastels like blush, mint, lavender, and soft blue are very popular choices for this season. Incorporating these colours into your bridesmaid dresses, table settings, and floral arrangements can create the perfect cohesive setup – with just enough diversity to celebrate the full wonder of Spring bloom!

Flowers, flowers and more flowers!

You can’t think of Spring without flowers, right? Embrace the season by using an abundance of Spring flowers in your bouquets, centrepieces, and decorations!

Popular Spring flowers include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, peonies, and cherry blossoms. Consider working with a local florist to source seasonal blooms and create stunning arrangements that reflect the beauty of the season.

Mastering your menu

It can be wise (and fun!) to create a menu that highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients to delight your guests. Spring is the perfect time for lighter dishes, such as salads with seasonal vegetables, seafood, and (arguably most importantly) fruit-infused cocktails!  

You could also include a delicious Spring-inspired dessert, like a lemon or berry-flavoured cake.

Dress to impress on your special day

This is one that a LOT of people forget about! Yes, Choose wedding attire that is comfortable and appropriate for the season. Lightweight fabrics are ideal for Spring weddings. Brides may want to consider a tea-length dress or one with lace details, while grooms can opt for lighter-coloured suits or even linen for a more casual feel. We want your special day to be MAGICAL, not worrying about being too hot or too cold! 

So there you have it! Spring is such a beautiful time of year and the perfect time to get married. If you are planning a wedding in 2024 or beyond and are interested in booking a humanist wedding celebrant, get in touch! I would love to help you capture your special day.

Love,

I’m lucky enough to have been to HBF a few times, and every time I’m greeted with an ambience and awe that lasts firmly in the memory bank. The team at HBF have a unique ability to transform the venue for every couple, perfectly encapturing their ideas and creating exactly what they visualised, every time.

VENUE FLEXIBILITY 

I’ve experienced a couple who wanted an outdoor ceremony and when the rain halted those plans, HBF were able to adapt quickly to an indoor ceremony – IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. The staff are warm, welcoming and go above and beyond to make your day as magical as can be. There is an obvious passion from the HBF staff for weddings and it’s obvious the people make this place the perfect venue that it is!

Words really don’t do this venue justice – you must go and visit to truly experience its beauty. From the stunning grounds to the beautiful rooms in which you can book and stay in with your family and friends, the whole venue is perfect for all wedding requests. The outdoor ceremony areas and explore the field and visualise what you’d like to add in to make it your perfect day. I can’t stress enough, if you are interested in booking this venue then BOOK to visit immediately; dates do go VERY quickly and we wouldn’t want you to miss out!  

TOP TIP FOR THE VENUE – VISIT BEFOREHAND!

Another reason to visit the venue in advance is to understand the exact way to get there – and to relay this information to your guests! The first time I visited the venue I lost signal about 10 minutes into the journey -  Google Maps then had me going around in circles for a half an hour!

 Luckily I wasn’t late for anything, but this is a tip if you are having your event or Humanist Wedding Ceremony there. You wouldn’t want anyone getting lost - or even worse MISSING out on the entrances! The team at HBF will provide clear, concise instructions on how to get there for you. 

SEEING IS BELIEVING

City Wedding London

Shauna & Thomas got married in the heart of Shoreditch, London in 2025

A Spring Wedding at Shoreditch Studios | Shauna & Thomas

There’s something about April weddings in London that just feels right. The city starts to wake up, the light softens, and you get those first glimpses of sunshine that make everything feel full of possibility. Shauna and Thomas chose this exact moment to celebrate their wedding at Shoreditch Studios, and it couldn’t have suited them more.

Shauna is originally from London, while Thomas is from Singapore, where they now live together. Bringing everyone back to London for their wedding felt really intentional. It gave them the chance to celebrate with family and friends in a place that means so much to Shauna, while also giving their Singapore-based loved ones a proper London experience.

A Shoreditch Studios Wedding in the Spring Light

Shoreditch Studios is one of those venues I always love working in as a wedding celebrant London couples come to for something a bit more relaxed and modern. It has that perfect mix of industrial character and soft, natural light, especially in spring.

The space looked incredible without needing to be overdone. Shauna and Thomas kept everything elegant and understated, letting the venue speak for itself. With the sunlight pouring in and a room full of people who genuinely cared about them, it created such an easy, joyful atmosphere.

Their Ceremony

I had the absolute pleasure of leading their ceremony, and it was one of those moments that just felt completely them. As a wedding celebrant London based, those are always the ceremonies I love most. Personal, relaxed, and full of meaning without feeling over-scripted.

They mentioned that the fact I was a humanist wedding celebrant was the real reason why they choose me.

We told their story in a way that reflected both where they have come from and the life they have built together in Singapore. There was laughter, a few tears, and that real sense of connection that you only get when a ceremony truly reflects the couple.

Celebrant-led weddings give you that freedom. You can shape the ceremony around who you are, include what matters, and leave out anything that does not. Shauna and Thomas really embraced that, and it made all the difference.

April Sunshine and That London Energy

And then there was the sunshine, which is never guaranteed in April. When it does show up, it completely transforms the day.

Guests were able to spill outside with drinks in hand, soaking up the warmth and catching up properly. It added a relaxed, almost destination wedding feel right in the middle of London.

For couples planning a spring wedding at Shoreditch Studios, this is exactly why April can be such a great choice. You get that softer light, a bit more energy in the air, and sometimes beautiful sunshine to tie it all together.

A London Wedding Worth Coming Home For

For Shauna and Thomas, this was about more than just choosing a venue. It was about bringing their worlds together, celebrating with the people they love, and marking the start of their marriage in a way that felt completely authentic.

That is always the goal.

Planning Your Shoreditch Studios Wedding | Tips from a Wedding Celebrant London

If you are thinking about getting married at Shoreditch Studios, or planning a London wedding from abroad, here are a few things I always share as a wedding celebrant London based.

Make the most of the light. Shoreditch Studios is all about natural light, so think about your ceremony timing, especially in spring.

Keep styling simple. You really do not need to over-style this space. Let the textures and architecture do the work.

Choose a celebrant for flexibility. If you want a ceremony that actually feels like you, working with a wedding celebrant London gives you complete freedom over how it looks and feels.

Think about your guests’ experience. If people are travelling, especially internationally, build in time to connect. Welcome drinks and relaxed moments go a long way.

Have a plan for the weather. April can surprise you, so make sure your plans work either way so you can stay relaxed.

Shauna and Thomas’ wedding was such a perfect reminder that when you focus on what really matters, the people, the story, and the atmosphere, everything else falls into place.

And as a wedding celebrant London, those are always the weddings that stay with you.

“What Does a Wedding Celebrant in London Actually Do? (And Is It Right for You?)”

If you’ve found yourself Googling wedding celebrant London and wondering what that actually means, you’re definitely not alone. It’s one of the most common conversations I have with couples at the very start of their planning.

Because here’s the thing… most people don’t realise there’s an alternative to a registrar ceremony until they start looking properly. And once they do, everything shifts.

As a wedding celebrant in London, my role is to create and deliver a ceremony that feels completely personal to you. Not templated, not rushed, and not something you’ve heard ten times before. Something that actually reflects your story, your relationship, and the way you want your wedding to feel.

What is a Wedding Celebrant?

A wedding celebrant in London designs and leads bespoke, completely personalised wedding ceremonies.

That means:

• Your ceremony is written from scratch

• Your story is at the centre of it

• You can include personal vows, readings, rituals, or cultural elements

• You can get married anywhere

Unlike a registrar, there are no restrictions on structure, wording, or location. Whether you’re planning a luxury London wedding, a Shoreditch studio celebration, or something more intimate, a celebrant-led wedding gives you complete creative freedom.

Wedding Celebrant vs Registrar in London: What’s the Difference?

This is usually the moment everything clicks for couples.

A registrar in London provides the legal part of your marriage. It’s structured, time-limited, and often takes place in a licensed venue with set wording.

A wedding celebrant in London, on the other hand, focuses entirely on the experience.

With a celebrant-led wedding in London:

• There are no scripts or standard wording

• You’re not restricted on time

• Your ceremony can be emotional, relaxed, and genuinely engaging

• You can choose any venue, not just licensed spaces

Most couples choose to do the legal paperwork separately (often quietly at a registry office), and then have their ‘real wedding’ ceremony led by a London wedding celebrant.

It means your wedding day isn’t dictated by legal constraints.

It’s designed around you. Your love story. Your life!

Why More Couples Are Choosing a Wedding Celebrant in London

There’s been a real shift towards celebrant-led weddings in London, especially for couples planning modern, luxury, or design-led celebrations.

London weddings aren’t one-size-fits-all anymore. Couples are choosing:

• Creative venues like studios and warehouses

• Multi-cultural ceremonies that reflect both families

• Personal storytelling instead of formal scripts

• A more relaxed, editorial feel to the day

Working with a wedding celebrant London based allows you to create something that feels effortless, but deeply considered.

What a Celebrant-Led Ceremony Actually Feels Like

This is the part that’s hard to explain until you experience it.

A celebrant-led wedding ceremony doesn’t feel stiff or overly formal. It feels natural. Guests are listening, laughing, sometimes crying, and actually present in the moment.

It feels like you.

As a wedding celebrant in London, I spend time getting to know my couples properly. The result is a ceremony that flows, that feels elevated but never forced, and that sets the tone for the entire day.

Love Celebrants Wedding Celebrant London

Can You Legally Get Married with a Wedding Celebrant in London?

This is one of the most searched questions around wedding celebrant London, and it’s important to be clear.

In England, celebrant-led weddings are not yet legally binding on their own.

What most couples do is:

• Complete the legal paperwork at a registry office (often on a separate day)

• Have their full wedding ceremony led by a wedding celebrant in London

And honestly, this is where the magic is. Because your actual wedding ceremony is no longer restricted. It becomes the experience you and your guests remember.

Why I’m So Passionate About Celebrant-Led Weddings

I recently had the chance to talk about this in more depth, including the difference between a registrar and a celebrant, and why so many couples are making the switch.

In it, I share exactly what goes on behind the scenes, what couples are really looking for now, and why a wedding celebrant in London offers something completely different.

Because at the heart of it, this isn’t just about having a ceremony. It’s about creating a moment that actually means something.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Celebrant in London

If you’re searching for a London wedding celebrant, this part matters.

You’re not just booking a supplier. You’re choosing the person who will tell your story in front of everyone you love.

Look for:

• Someone whose tone and style feels like you

• A writing style that resonates

• Experience with luxury or design-led weddings (if that’s your aesthetic)

• Someone you genuinely feel comfortable with

The right wedding celebrant in London will make the entire process feel easy, collaborative, and genuinely exciting.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a wedding and want something that feels considered, personal, and beautifully put together, working with a wedding celebrant in London gives you that freedom.

It allows you to create a ceremony that isn’t just part of the day, but the part everyone remembers.

If that’s what you’re looking for, that’s exactly what I do at Love Celebrants.

“How to Plan a Luxury Wedding Ceremony in London (That Actually Feels Personal)”

When you start planning a luxury wedding in London, it’s very easy to focus on the big visual elements first. The venue, the flowers, the styling, the guest list. But the part that quietly shapes the entire day, and often gets left until later, is the ceremony.

And in reality, it’s the ceremony that sets everything in motion.

As a wedding celebrant in London, I see this shift happen all the time. Couples begin with aesthetics, but what they really want is something that feels considered, personal, and completely their own. The ceremony is where that happens.

Start with the Ceremony, Not the Timeline

If you are planning a luxury wedding in London, one of the best things you can do is start with how you want your ceremony to feel.

Not the schedule. Not the logistics. The feeling.

Do you want it to feel intimate, even in a large space? Relaxed but still refined? Emotional without being overwhelming?

When you work with a wedding celebrant London based, the ceremony becomes something that is designed around you from the very beginning, rather than something that has to fit into a pre-set structure.

Choose the Right Setting in London

London offers some of the most incredible backdrops for a luxury wedding ceremony, and I’ve been lucky enough to work in some truly iconic spaces.

From ceremonies at the Natural History Museum to weddings at Cliveden House, Blenheim Palace, and the Bodleian Library, each venue brings its own atmosphere and sense of occasion.

I’ve also led ceremonies at some of London’s most refined hotels, including The Connaught and Claridge's, often for high-profile and celebrity clients who want something discreet, elevated, and entirely personal.

The key is choosing a space that aligns with your energy as a couple, not just how it looks.

Make It Personal (Without It Feeling Overdone)

Personalisation is often misunderstood. It doesn’t mean including everything, or making the ceremony overly long or complicated.

For a luxury wedding ceremony in London, it’s about refinement.

It’s knowing what to include, what to leave out, and how to tell your story in a way that feels effortless. That balance is where a celebrant-led wedding in London really stands apart.

As a wedding celebrant London couples trust for high-end weddings, my role is to create something that feels elevated but natural. Thoughtful, but never forced.

Work with a Wedding Celebrant in London

This is where everything comes together.

A wedding celebrant in London allows you to step away from limitations and create a ceremony that is entirely bespoke. No scripts, no restrictions, and no time pressure.

For many of my couples, especially those planning luxury London weddings or multi-day celebrations, the ceremony becomes a central experience rather than a formal requirement.

It also means we can work collaboratively. Every word, every moment, every transition is considered.

Create a Guest Experience, Not Just a Ceremony

For luxury weddings, the guest experience matters just as much as the visual elements.

Your ceremony sets the tone. It’s the first time everyone gathers, the first shared moment, and it shapes how the rest of the day feels.

When it’s done well, guests are completely present. They are engaged, emotionally connected, and part of something meaningful.

That’s always the intention.

Timing, Light, and Flow

London light is something people don’t always think about, but it makes a huge difference, especially for a luxury wedding ceremony.

Spring and summer weddings in London offer that softer, flattering light that works beautifully in both historic venues and modern spaces.

Planning your ceremony timing around this can completely elevate the atmosphere, particularly for photography and the overall feel of the day.

A More Considered Approach to Weddings

Alongside my work as a wedding celebrant in London, I also work as a broadcaster and regularly speak about weddings, relationships, and modern ceremonies.

Through my work at Love Celebrants, I’ve become known as the UK’s only wedding expert and commentator, offering insight into how weddings are evolving and what couples are really looking for now.

What I see, consistently, is a move towards weddings that feel more intentional. Less formulaic, more personal, and ultimately more memorable.

Final Thoughts

Planning a luxury wedding in London is about more than creating something beautiful. It’s about creating something that feels like you.

When the ceremony is given the same level of thought as the rest of the day, everything else flows more naturally.

If you’re looking for a wedding celebrant London based who can create a ceremony that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely personal, that is exactly what I do.

And it’s always where the best weddings begin.

A surprise for the special guest at Tip Top

This weekend in late July I was Humanist Celebrant as a gorgeous Wedding Ceremony in Milton Keynes for Chloe and Ollie Jones. With an intimate ceremony of just 67 guests, the sunshine was perfect with a slight cloud cover as the bride made her way down the aisle.

The wedding was set beside a tipi on a lake at the Beautiful Tip Top venue. This day was a celebration of true love! The relationship of C & O had been that of best friends, boyfriend and girlfriend for over 15 years.

Take a look at the reel for this wedding.

As part of the Ceremony, the couple decided we would have a ‘Ring Warning’ ritual but before that, we would create some shock, surprise and wholesomeness for one special person. This was done with the Best Man – A very nervous but excited Kempy began by approaching the front with the wedding Ring Box filled with two Haribo rings instead of the actual rings! 

Stashing the rings.

This came as a shock to the guests gathered. I then suggested that this was a total “disaster”, and we simply could not continue the ceremony without an actual ring. After a few moments, I then let everyone in on the surprise by asking everyone to look under their seats. Pre-ceremony myself and the best man had planted a clear button bag underneath the seat of the groom’s sister – Kerry. This was made a little harder as we had to ensure she actually sat on that seat!

Kerry eventually found the bag with the rings then she brought them to the front and replaced the haribos! I believe she was completely surprised and I do hope it made her feel part of the ceremony as the couple intended.

Nothing like making everyone at your ceremony feel ‘Part of it’ by having to do something mid-ceremony.

Surprising a family member is highly thoughtful and includes something unexpected and fun.

 I’ve found some other ideas to surprise your loved ones on the day 

• Make a surprise entrance.

• Start a flash mob mid-ceremony.

• Make the first dance song special and learn something to surprise guests

• Introduce a little magic, someone unexpected or dressed up in a particular way 

Humanist Wedding Celebrant Kathryn Wilson Discussion on LBC

A conversation about Humanist Wedding Ceremonies with LBC

In July I was asked to go on LBC to discuss Humanist Wedding Ceremonies, The Law Commission Report, current rules on ceremonies and the plan for legalisation in England and Wales to match the laws of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Jersey.

In a conversation with Shelagh Fogarty we discussed her views on couples potentially having a legal ceremony in their own back yard and how this may cause weddings to become less ‘special’ the less public they are considered.

I pushed my belief that all couples should have the right to choose where, when and how they are legally married.

Some people have suggested Shelagh asked me some difficult questions but I handled the challenge well. What are your thoughts?

Listen to the full live interview here:

I just got engaged, How do I start planning my wedding?

My advice is to start a ‘dreamboard’ this can be on your phone, via Pinterest or even together as a couple (Great date idea, right?)

To get some inspiration there’s some cool weddings on youtube. I also scroll for hours on Instagram searching my favourite wedding hashtags. People are proud of their wedding day and like to share it with the world. I adore watching Humanist Wedding Ceremonies online because they are truly one of a kind and all about the couple.

Once you’ve had some inspiration it’s now time to start looking into your suppliers. Wedding Dresses? Flowers? That seriously boujee cake you want to rub into each others faces? (Not for everyone this one but I personally love it!)

Most companies in the wedding industry are FIRST CLASS in what they do which often means they are fully booked YEARS in advance. This is the main reason people book their venues or wedding ceremony date quite far in advance so they can get the suppliers they want rather than settling for the mediocre.

How to deal with wedding nerves

Nerves, we all get ‘em right? This doesn’t mean you have to suck it up. There are some tips below that help me when I’m feeling a bit nervous before my or someone else’s BIG DAY!

1/ Get prepared to feel prepared.

Want to read through your script with your celebrant so you know what to expect? Practice your vows?

2/ Visualise the day

Walking up the alise and seeing the faces of your love, Perhaps you are imagining how slick your groomsmen will look in their suits? Imagining these things that will make you feel happy will make you feel settled and less nervous

3/ Tell yourself its excitement and not nerves

This is one I use ALL THE TIME. Audition? “I’m so excited to be here” Job interview? “I’m excited at the idea of this role”

The brain and body can’t differentiate between the two; Sweaty palms, shortness of breath, heart beating that little bit faster. It’s excitement, right?

4/ Have a rehearsal

Not a lot of couples have rehearsals, I think this is because they don’t want to overly practice their vows or how the day will be. Some opinions on that include “We wanted it to be the first time and only time for it to be truly authentic”. Rehearsals are fantastic if you are feeling nervous as these only usually include the bridal parties and your Wedding Celebrant.

5/ Eat well and stay hydrated

We’ve all seen the memes of Brides/ Bridesmaids / Grooms / Priests / Wedding guests fainting! A lot of the time it’s down to lack of food, heat, and dehydration. This is due to nerves on a Wedding day. Plan out what you are going to eat and the morning drink before your wedding before the day itself and stick to it. We are humans that need energy. Discuss with your celebrant to have water to hand for you and your partner during the ceremony. If you’ve eaten well and managed to stay hydrated it means you can continue the party until the wee hours…am I right?
