Hello!
I'm Eleanor
I'm a humanist wedding celebrant based in Northern Ireland. I live on the north coast; a place full of stories, and I’d be honoured to help tell yours. I believe that every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that reflects who they truly are. I’ll work with you anywhere in Northern Ireland to create a ceremony that’s personal, inclusive, and deeply meaningful. As a humanist celebrant, I offer ceremonies that celebrate love, connection, and shared values. There’s no template, no script — just your story, told with warmth, honesty, and a touch of gentle Scottish humour. I’ll take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most, and craft a ceremony that feels true to you both.

J&A
"An insanely amazing experience from beginning to end - Eleanor was an absolute joy to have as part of our wedding day. The ceremony she put together was perfect & she managed to maintain a very authentic feel of my partner & I throughout. In the lead up to the ceremony she helped us sort everything that was required, we couldn't have done it without her! We felt like she was a good friend after only one meeting & we couldn't recommend her more."
M&C
"Thanks so much for everything. The ceremony couldn't have gone better. Thanks again Eleanor we're forever indebted"
A&E
"Eleanor, we have just read our ceremony script and we are crying SO MUCH!"
R&C
"Eleanor, is a dream celebrant, a true professional but full of so much passion, joy and fun. She helped give our wedding the character and identity were were hoping for, she saw our vision from the get go and worked tirelessly to make it a reality. She was an incredible help with practicalities and thinking ahead but always kept things light and relaxed. Her script and delivery was beautiful and we could really see all the diligence she'd taken in preparation". E&C
