Celebrating Love at Every Stage Of Life
Inspired by the seasons and the natural cycles of life, we work as civil celebrants to honour love as it grows, changes, and endures
Who we are
Pagan-style ceremonies inspired by you rather than a rulebook
We’re Nick and Jane, a husband-and-wife team of civil celebrants working with people who want something personal, nature-led, and a bit different. Our work is rooted in pagan traditions, the natural world, and the cycles of life. We create non-religious ceremonies for weddings, handfastings, naming ceremonies, and celebrations of life, taking time to really get to know you or the person you’re honouring.
We’re inclusive, open, and non-judgemental, and we happily work with LGBTQ+ couples, nudist couples, and anyone who wants to celebrate love and life in a way that feels right for them.
our Approach
How we work as non-religious civil celebrants
We don’t rush people, and we don’t rush ceremonies. We want to really understand the people at the heart of your ceremony before we write a single word, so most of our work happens over time: lots of conversations, plenty of checking back in, and space for things to change as you think them through.
Some people we work with are drawn to pagan rituals, the elements, stone circles, or the seasons. Others just know they want something non-religious that feels more “them.” Whatever you have in mind, we’re open to exploring it together! We’ll help with all the practical bits, too (like locations and logistics), so when the day comes, you can relax knowing that everything is settled and ready.
Locations
Where we’re based
We live in the Pewsey Vale, right in the middle of Wiltshire’s old stone landscapes. Avebury and Stonehenge are nearby, and Marden Henge sits just down the road. These places have seen people gather, celebrate, and mark important moments for a very long time, and you can feel that when you’re there.
Living among the sarsen stones has shaped how we think about ceremony: slower, more grounded, and connected to the land. We lead ceremonies across the UK and Scotland, especially outdoors and in historic settings, and we also know some lovely, quieter places for those wanting something more private. We do occasionally travel further afield in Europe, too. Just ask!

What guides us when we’re working with people
We don’t think of these as values in a formal sense. They’re just the things we keep coming back to, ceremony after ceremony.
1
Care for People and Place
We’re guests in very meaningful moments, and often in very old places. We treat people, land, and traditions with the care and thought they deserve.
2
Bespoke, Handwritten Ceremonies
We don’t work from scripts or stock wording. Every ceremony is written slowly and carefully around the people it’s for.
3
Doing Things Properly
We’re accredited, insured, and well practised, which means you can trust us to handle things responsibly.
4
Being Genuinely Ourselves
We don’t perform a persona. We show up as we are – calm, attentive, and present – and that tends to give others permission to do the same.
5
Emotional Awareness
We’re used to working with nerves, grief, excitement, and uncertainty, often all at once. Compassion guides how we lead.
6
Gratitude
We never forget that being invited into these moments is a privilege. It’s something we treat with seriousness and care.
Our team
Not your typical wedding and funeral celebrants
We genuinely love this work. We love getting to know people properly, hearing their stories, and shaping ceremonies that feel thoughtful, alive, and true to them. And we never forget what an honour it is to be trusted with moments that people will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Meet Nick
Hello, I’m Nick. I’ve been a civil celebrant for many years, and I still feel incredibly lucky to do this work.
I work mostly with couples and families who want something a bit freer; non-religious ceremonies that feel connected to nature, to old traditions, and to who they really are. Many people come to me because they like the idea of pagan-inspired rituals but don’t want anything heavy or performative. That suits me perfectly.
My Druidry gives me a strong grounding in symbolism, storytelling, and the elements, but I always keep things accessible. I explain what’s happening, why it’s there, and how it fits. No one should feel confused or left out.
I don’t use scripts, and I don’t believe in “standard” ceremonies. Every ceremony I write starts with conversations – often many of them! I want to understand how you met, how you live, what matters to you, what you believe (and what you don’t). Sometimes that takes months, and what we discover in that time is always worth it. The ceremony always grows naturally from there.
On the day itself, my role is to gently lead. I take responsibility for the structure, the flow, and the words, so you don’t have to worry about any of that. People often tell me they feel guided rather than directed, which is exactly how I want it to feel. If you walk away smiling, lighter, and thinking “that really felt like us”, then I know I’ve done my job!
Meet Jane
I’m Jane, and I work alongside Nick as a civil celebrant. I’m also an NHS Matron, and I’ve spent many years in senior healthcare roles, supporting people through intense, emotional, and often life-changing situations.
That background feeds into how I approach the ceremonies we lead. I’m very attuned to how people are feeling, whether it’s nerves, grief, excitement, or uncertainty, and I know how much difference a calm, reassuring presence can make. Often my role is about supporting people, answering questions, and helping them feel settled without drawing attention to myself.
I’ve learned over the years that people don’t need fuss or formality, they just need to feel looked after. Sometimes that’s a quiet word, sometimes it’s making sure someone knows where to stand, and sometimes it’s just a reassuring smile at the right moment. I find a lot of joy in that, and I feel very grateful to do this work alongside my incredible husband, sharing responsibility for moments people will remember forever.
