A Humanist Wedding Celebrant in London.

Hi there Lovely, I’m Kathryn…

Joyful, inclusive, personalised wedding ceremonies, individually crafted to celebrate modern, warmhearted, and conscience-driven couples.

Feel-good Ceremonies, for Fabulous Days

Congratulations- It is so exciting that you’re planning a wedding or civil partnership!

If you want a relaxed, meaningful, and enjoyable wedding ceremony, a ceremony that’s 100% “you”, with a London wedding celebrant who’s inclusive, warm, supportive, and highly experienced, then that’s where I come in…

I’m Kathryn Palmer-Skillings, a people-loving, equality-loving, cat-loving, ‘love’-loving humanist wedding celebrant in London, marrying and civil partnering couples far and wide.

As a wedding celebrant, I create sincere, joyful, unique wedding ceremonies for couples who want to start their wedding celebrations in a way that’s so much more considered, meaningful, and enjoyable than ‘just another template’ ceremony.

I love getting to know you and learning what matters to you. Those gorgeous memories of your life together, the little quirks you love about each other, and those pesky irritations that occasionally drive you up the wall. I weave it all, along with ideas for readings, music, and meaningful wedding rituals, into a bespoke wedding ceremony that could only and would only ever be yours.

As your wedding celebrant, I’ll craft, curate, write and lead a wedding ceremony completely tailored to you both.

What is a celebrant wedding? Why choose a humanist celebrant?

I work with couples who have chosen a celebrant wedding because they want to enjoy their ceremony, who want a heartfelt wedding with just a sprinkling of humour, that reflects and celebrates them! Couples just like you, who: 

Are planning personal touches across their wedding day celebrating the real them; honouring their quirks, love story and communities.

Are keen not to follow the crowd, and want a non-religious wedding ceremony that feels familiar, sincere and with real meaning.

Are challenging wedding traditions that don’t feel right and making meaningful choices that reflect them.

Instead of the same old, standard template, you want a bespoke wedding ceremony that’s special, wholehearted, and fun. As your wedding celebrant, I’m here to help you have a wedding ceremony that’s less of ‘the usual’, and a whole lot more YOU!

A warm, professional, experienced and inclusive wedding celebrant.

I’ve had the joy of leading weddings and civil partnerships across London. In Victorian-terrace gardens, beautiful city parks, cosy restaurants, trendy loft spaces, cool cocktail bars, and in some amazing London museums or landmarks like Kew Gardens. Can you tell I love being a London Celebrant!? 

A London Wedding Celebrant, who adores city weddings and country ceremonies!

Being a wedding celebrant in London doesn’t mean I never leave the city or don’t have a soft spot for a country or suburban wedding or civil partnership too! I often create non-traditional, non-religious wedding ceremonies in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and beyond! Further afield or planning an overseas wedding? I’d love to hear all about it!

  • Kathryn was an incredible wedding celebrant, so helpful & fun! She wrote the most perfect ceremony that captured us both so well, it fit perfectly! Kathryn understood us from the get-go and tailored her words as if she'd known us forever.

  • We're not a 'traditional' couple. We don't need (or even want) our ceremony to be 'Picture Perfect', We want it to feel special, real, authentic! Kathryn was the perfect wedding celebrant for us!

A Wedding Celebrant in London specialising in wedding ceremonies for introverted, equality-loving, feminist and conscience-driven couples – a.k.a. you!

I became a wedding celebrant because I love people, weddings, and people at weddings. I’m passionate about ensuring that every couple can enjoy a wedding ceremony that truly celebrates them. 

I know how it feels not to see yourself represented when planning a wedding. So I specialise in creating non-traditional, non-religious and feminist wedding and civil partnership ceremonies for couples who don't always see themselves reflected in the wedding world:

  • Maybe you're introverted, or nervous about feeling ‘on display’.

  • Maybe you're celebrating finding love for the second (or third, or fourth!) time.

  • Perhaps you're Neurodivergent, Disabled, or managing your mental health and need your ceremony to prioritise your comfort.

  • Perhaps you’re navigating tricky family dynamics and want a wedding ceremony without assumptions about what ‘family’ means and who’ll be supporting you.

💜I see you!💜

You deserve a wedding or civil partnership ceremony that makes you feel seen, heard, and celebrated! A wedding ceremony that prioritises your comfort instead of making you feel like the proverbial square peg. As your wedding celebrant, I’ll make sure that instead of feeling constrained by tradition, expectations, assumptions and/or the patriarchy(!), your wedding ceremony is full of warmth, fun and joy.

You deserve to be celebrated, and I’d be honoured to be the person celebrating you!
