Think of Katie as your ultimate wedding fairytale godmother—if your fairytale involves no strangers, less rigid rules, the right vibe and a lot more laughter, authenticity, and personality!
It is probably your first time planning a wedding, but Katie is a former wedding manager and in-house celebrant, she has planned, delivered, coordinated, and officiated at hundreds of weddings for all kinds of couples. So you and your wedding are in incredibly safe hands! Katie's version of a fairytale wedding completely bins the stuffy, boring traditions and instead puts your vibe, your core values, personalities, humours and your actual love story right at the centre of the day.
As a former luxury country estate Wedding Manager turned award-winning Independent Celebrant, Katie knows the UK wedding industry completely inside out. Operating right where the vibrant Lancashire borders meet the gorgeous, rugged Yorkshire Dales and the stunning Lake District, she brings her signature warmth and storytelling magic to couples marrying across the Ribble Valley, Settle, Skipton, Gisburn, Wennington, Kendal, and the South Lakes.
Katie is more than happy to travel beyond the Yorkshire and Lancashire area, covering the while UK, as well as destination weddings worldwide.
Let’s dive straight into her wedding secrets, local planning hacks, and why the old wedding script is officially being thrown out the window.
Katie’s Vibe
Q: Describe your ceremony style.
A: My style is built entirely around you and creating an immersive guest experience that makes you two and your love story the absolute main characters. I’ve seen too many strangers stand and read a template at couples, guests are bored stiff, I don’t believe your guests should just sit there passively watching a rigid script play out. Instead, I design a custom-written ceremony that completely wraps everybody up in your world and from the very first second, they are onboard! By putting your journey under the spotlight, your guests feel like an active, emotional part of the magic rather than just a crowd waiting for the drinks reception to start. Most importantly, you are in the driving seat — you choose the ceremony time, you choose the location for the ceremony (licensed or unlicensed), you choose the content, no music or words are banned.
Q: What made you transition from running luxury venues to standing at the front as a celebrant?
A: During my time as a luxury country house Wedding Manager, my team and I built absolutely amazing relationships with our couples. We spent months getting to know them inside out, we knew all their secrets, their unique vibes, their core values, their personalities, their senses of humour, their faiths, their families, and their beautiful love stories. We were even sworn to secrecy on a few pregnancies!
But then, minutes before the ceremony was due to start, we had to hand over our lovely couple to two complete strangers with a rigid, content-policed process for the most important bit of the entire day. When you deliver hundreds of weddings each year and you constantly see that exact same disconnect, everyone goes a bit ‘airport security’, you reach a turning point: you either become part of the problem, or you do something about it.
I chose to do something about it. I wanted to mend that disconnect entirely. I wanted to keep the wedding energy consistently high, from bridal squad hair and MUA and right through the day, rather than watching it take a massive dip during a boring ceremony. I stepped up to the altar because I wanted to create a ceremony that actually fit the couple, matched their personalities, and set the perfect tone for the rest of their amazing celebration.
Q: Who is your absolute dream couple to work with, and who is definitely not your vibe?
A: Let’s be completely honest, I am not "the show"! So if you’re a couple looking for a theatrical, crazy haired, OTT staged 'act', that’s simply not my bag. I am a modern storyteller with a warm Yorkshire vibe (think Jane McDonald if she did weddings). My job is to weave your actual, beautiful love story into a bespoke wedding ceremony infused entirely with your unique vibe, your quirks, your personalities, and your core values.
It will look, sound, and feel completely like yours, immersing your friends and family from the second they take their seats. By the time we're done, your guests will be saying it's the best wedding they've ever been to! My absolute dream couples are intentional; they do things because of the genuine sentiment behind them, they love adventure, slow intentional living, and they might have a fur baby they want to involve at some point!
Q: You didn't just stop at becoming a celebrant; you founded Celebrant Led Digital Wedding Magazine. How does the mag actually help couples plan a personal, intentional, and immersive wedding ceremony?
A: I built it because I realised couples needed a sanctuary away from the rigid, outdated establishment rules. I wanted to create a high-end digital magazine and matchmaker that empowers you to build an unconventional ceremony from the ground up. Through Celebrant Led, we actively connect couples with the wedding suppliers and venues who love celebrant led weddings.
The mag is full of wedding planning inspiration and trends, tips, guides, wedding industry insider secrets, dream venues, supplier spotlights and much more! Check out Celebrant Led Magazine.
Q: What geographical areas do you cover? Is there a limit to how far you'll travel?
A: I’m a Yorkshire Dales Lass, but I live on the edges of the Ribble Valley and South Lakes. I’m the premier wedding celebrant across the Ribble Valley, Wennington, Kendal, Skipton and Settle. I’m a regular at the fabulous James’ Places Dream Venues and I live less than 60 seconds away from the Falcon Manor, Settle — so if you’re looking for a sustainable celebrant, you can’t get closer than me!
I will travel anywhere for a love story, UK or destination weddings abroad. Wherever you want to say your vows, whether it's a barn in the Yorkshire Dales, country house in Lancashire, a chic London loft, a vineyard in Tuscany, or a beach in Cornwall —I’ll be there. Distance is no object when it comes to a great love story.
Q: Having a deep background as a luxury country house Wedding Manager is gold. How does that operational experience protect your couples?
A: Wedding operations and logistics are my absolute superpower. Before taking the leap to become a full-time independent celebrant, I was the Wedding Manager at a luxury country estate with three wedding coordinators reporting directly to me. Together, we planned and operationally delivered hundreds of weddings, and I even trained with the International College of Professional Celebrants and became the in-house celebrant to officiate them!
Because of that background, I see every single second of a wedding day through expert operational eyes. I can spot and solve a potential problem before it has even had a chance to cross your mind! While other celebrants only understand the words written on their page, I’m tracking the venue staff, the photographer's angles with the sun, the musician, and the room's energy. I’ve seen it all, run it all, and fixed it all. It means you get to stand at the altar with total, stress-free "main character" energy, knowing the ceremony is completely under control. You just focus on each other; I’ve got the rest sorted.
I’ve already had to turn down one date in March 2027 three times so far this year, so make sure you get in touch with me as early as you can to avoid disappointment!
🏛️ Busting the "Celebrant Myth" & The Legal Bit
Q: What is the single biggest misconception couples have when they hear the word "Celebrant"?
A: They assume a celebrant ceremony is "fake, when it’s actually the complete opposite! It’s the most authentic, real ceremony you will ever experience, because it is written exclusively for and about you.
The alternative is a rigid, 13-minute legal box-ticking exercise led by complete strangers following a strict, unchangeable process. Traditional registry options can leave guests feeling a bit bored, while your location, timing, and even your music choices are fully controlled and restricted by the establishment. A celebrant wedding hands the steering wheel completely back to you.
Q: How does a celebrant-led wedding work for couples planning a destination wedding abroad?
A: Oh, it is the ultimate stress-saver for destination weddings! Trying to navigate local legalities, language barriers, and foreign registry paperwork in another country can be an absolute nightmare.
Instead, my couples do the quick, £62 statutory legal bit here in the UK before they go. Then, we all jet off. Because I already know you inside out, your destination ceremony is delivered flawlessly in English, completely customised to you, and free from any rigid foreign legal restrictions. You get to have your dream ceremony under the Italian sun or overlooking a Greek beach, completely on your own terms!
Q: How do you explain the financial and legal side to couples marrying in the UK who are worried their families will think it's not "official"?
A: Couples are frequently shocked to find out that cost of a celebrant AND the 2+2 statutory ceremony is frequently cheaper than just having the registrar attend the venue and read the boring government template at you! The value in a Celebrant led ceremony is huge, because you are buying 100% freedom — you choose the ceremony time, the location, there is no restricted content, spontaneous vows are allowed, music containing religious wording isn’t banned. Your ceremony isn’t on a clock and it can breathe.
As a wedding manager I never saw registrars thanked by family or guests for a wonderful or amazing ceremony, because it’s always the same templates delivered... and it’s far from amazing. As a celebrant I cannot tell you how many family and guests have made a point of thanking me and expressing how much they enjoyed the ceremony. I’ve had couples and one Mother of the Bride spontaneously hug me and express their absolute delight, before exiting down the aisle at the end of the ceremony.
So how do you do a 2 part wedding? In the UK, you register the legal marriage separately. You just book a basic statutory 2+2 ceremony at your local register office (which costs just £62 plus the standard fee per person to give notice). You still need to give notice and you must book a date for your ceremony. Go in your casual clothes (or full wedding attire if you wish) with two witnesses, sign the paperwork, and handle the legal paperwork, you can read more about the 2+2 statutory ceremony here.
That means your actual wedding day is completely freed from legal tape. Your family won't think it's fake for a single second; they'll be completely blown away by how emotional it is and how much it actually feels like you.
Q: You focus exclusively on weddings and don’t offer funeral services like many other celebrants do. What led to that decision?
A: That was a very deliberate boundary for me. While conducting funerals is an honour and others juggle funerals and weddings, my office operates on a strict, uncompromised rule: 100% weddings and happy ceremonies such as vow renewals and naming ceremonies only. With my extensive background, weddings are my absolute superpower, so it made no sense to dilute my expertise and pivot to include the somber celebrations of life.
Writing and delivering a deeply emotional or harrowing funeral service requires an immense amount of emotional input. Grief is incredibly heavy. I strongly believe that there are inevitable, invisible trace elements of "grief transfer" that can happen if a celebrant is juggling writing or conducting a difficult funeral right around the same time they are supposed to be crafting or delivering your wedding script and I don’t want to risk anything affecting your wedding ceremony.
Q: How does that strict "weddings-only" policy benefit the couples who book you?
A: It means your wedding ceremony never has to share an office, a laptop, or an emotional headspace with sorrow.
By dedicating my practice entirely to the happy celebrations of life, I can guarantee that the energy I bring into your planning space fits your vibe. When I sit down to write your love story, my mind is entirely clear of the shadows of loss. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and it deserves a celebrant who is 100% focused on your happiness and your future!
💡 The Masterclass: Pro Tips & Local Advice
Q: Given our notoriously unpredictable English weather, what is your top advice for couples planning an outdoor ceremony in the North, from the Ribble Valley up to Kendal?
A: You need a seamless contingency plan, darling. Choose a backup space and decor setup that can easily moved and become a simple, beautiful "Plan B" without causing any logistical fuss or panic on the morning of.
Lean into the climate: consider providing umbrellas or fans for your guests. It’s England—there are some days you might genuinely need both at the exact same time! Crucially, make sure your live musicians or DJ have a canopy over their heads and are utilising a high-quality, completely wireless amplifier setup so they can move easily if the wind or rain shifts.
Q: What is one wedding industry tradition you wish couples would officially bin because it kills the ceremony vibe?
A: The rigid registrar restrictions. When the registrars arrive at a venue there is a disconnect and an energy change that is palpable, not just for the couple, but for the entire wedding team, the venue staff, the musicians, the photographers, the videographers, and the content creators all deflate when a couple of strangers are added to what has felt like a really lovely and supportive, private members club!
When it’s celebrant led, everyone can finally breathe! The photographer isn't being yelled at about where they can stand or for clicking the camera shutter too much, the venue team isn't stressed about the strict council clock ticking (registrars rush off to other venues to read the same script again, and again) and as a result, your suppliers can actually relax and do what they do best.
Q: Can I find recommendations for celebrant friendly UK wedding venues and suppliers on Celebrant Led?
A: Absolutely! That is exactly why Celebrant Led was born. Celebrant Led is fast becoming the premier hub for couples looking to book their wedding day 'Dream Team'. We don't just list anyone; we actively curate and recommend exceptional UK wedding venues and suppliers who genuinely champion modern, celebrant-led weddings.
Whether you are searching for a hidden gem venue in the Ribble Valley, a wild hillside setting in Settle, or an open-air lawn near Kendal, our directory connects you with suppliers who know exactly how a celebrant led wedding day works without the stress.
Q: Are you inclusive, and do you specialise in non-traditional ceremonies?
If you are searching for a wedding celebrant who specialises in non-traditional ceremonies, you want someone who is deeply inclusive, completely unflappable, and entirely open to out-of-the-box thinking.
As a professional celebrant I make sure your ceremony is entirely about you two. That means I don't box you into a specific category. Your ceremony can be completely traditional, wildly non-traditional, or a gorgeous blend of both. We can weave in elements from all things, whether that’s a modern twist on a classic custom, something quirky you’ve just invented, or ‘tying the knot’ in a meaningful hand-fasting ritual of old.
I am not biased or fazed by neurodivergence, a crying toddler, or a grandad with dementia... or all three simultaneously. Whatever happens, I just adapt with warmth, humour, and grace, ensuring every single guest feels welcome.

Q: Katie: To kick things off, give us the quick headlines so our readers know exactly who you are and the magic you create!
A: I’m DJ Mark Green. Professional events DJ catering for prestigious weddings, corporate and sporting event.
DJ Mark Green in action!
Q: Katie: Where are you based, how far do you love to travel, and what are your favourite kinds of spaces to work with?
A: I’m based in Harrogate but I perform all over the UK. It’s hard to put a finger on my favourite spot for a wedding… far too many beautiful places to choose from. I do spend a lot of time travelling between Middleton Lodge, Tithe Barn - Bolton Abbey & Riverlands in East Yorkshire. Lots of love for all 3 of these!
I’ve been DJing for the best part of 30 years. In the early days I spent quite a few years performing overseas in multiple places across the Mediterranean. That was definitely my training ground.
Behind the Designs
Q: Katie: Let’s start right at the beginning! How did you find your way into the wedding world, and what was that exact moment you realised this was your calling?
A: There wasn’t really a life plan back then and weddings weren’t a thing I’d ever considered. My first taste of a came to me nearly 20yrs ago via a friend. He was getting married near Newcastle and asked if I could take care of his evening music. I jumped at the opportunity and haven’t looked back since… it was loads of fun.
I then spent a few years in bars and clubs, dabbling in the odd wedding, part and corporate event.
Around 2014, the workload between my day job and DJing was too much… something had to give. I handed in my notice at work and took the plunge and became a full time DJ. I haven’t looked back since.
Q: Katie: Every business has its own distinct personality. What is the core philosophy, style, and value system that defines your work today?
A: My couples and clients are at the core of everything I do. Pulling on my skill set, experience and expertise, I work closely with clients to deliver the exact vibe they desire form their special event. Once the planning and prep is nailed… it’s time to party and I love it. I don’t ever see myself as a supplier, more an extended guest. I love bouncing around to good vibes and I always bring the energy.
“Think carefully if your wedding venue has a 1am music cut off licence… you don’t need to go all the way. I see lots of parties fizzle out after midnight because the guest are absolutely shattered and physically can’t carry on. Plan your evening timings carefully and finish on a big high with all of your friends and family present.”
Q: Katie: Let’s talk about your ‘dream couple’. Describe the people that make you instantly say, "Yes, I absolutely need to work with them!"
A: I love the variety of events I do and the different people I work with. That keeps things fresh, challenging and exciting for me.
Trends & Expert Secrets
Q: Katie: What is the most unique, unconventional, or wonderfully memorable wedding setup you’ve ever been a part of?
A: Obviously not mentioning names or location. I once did a large garden wedding that was more like an illegal rave. It was complete carnage and I spent the whole day on edge looking out for police cars coming down the driveway. I remember laughing to myself all the way home. I didn’t think I was going to get away with all my equipment in one piece - it was mental.
Q: Katie: The wedding world is always evolving. What exciting new patterns, directions, or details are you noticing right now in your brilliant corner of the industry?
A: No surprise here, but TikTok trends are certainly driving couples decisions.
Q: Katie: If you could predict the 'next big thing' or share one thing you’d love to see more UK couples embrace, what would it be?
A: People are regularly looking to recreate moments in videos they’ve seen. Aisle walk tracks, first dances, mixing styles etc…
Q: Katie: For couples currently planning their wedding, what insider secret or piece of advice would you give them from your area of expertise?
A: Think carefully if your wedding venue has a 1am music cut off licence… you don’t need to go all the way. I see lots of parties fizzle out after midnight because the guest are absolutely shattered and physically can’t carry on. Plan your evening timings carefully and finish on a big high with all of your friends and family present.
The Wedding Journey & Meaning
Q: Katie: When a couple books you, what does that journey look like from start to finish? How do you make sure they feel completely looked after?
A: My booking process is all automated and completely stress free. From first enquiry to delivery, I love to be responsive. Holding couples hands and guiding them through the whole journey. I’m contactable every day of the week. I love offering my advice and answering questions to ensure we get the desired outcome on the day.
Q: Katie: We are seeing a gorgeous shift away from 'perfect-for-Instagram' weddings toward deeply meaningful days. What is one old-school wedding tradition or rule you are secretly glad modern couples are ditching?
A: I’ve noticed a few couples recently ditching speeches and their first dance. It totally cool with me if that’s what they want, however it’s always nice to keep some traditions as the flow is tried and tested and works really well.
Q: Katie: When the wedding magic is done and you’re finally off-the-clock, where can we usually find you and how do you like to unwind?
A: I’m normally sleeping or running around after my 3 kids… lol

Behind the Designs
Q: Katie: Let’s start right at the beginning! How did you find your way into the wedding world, and what was that exact moment you realised this was your calling?
A: I got into the wedding industry through my mum, Katie Flanagan, editor at Celebrant Led, who used to work as a the wedding manager at a busy venue. When I was 16, she invited me along to play at a wedding fair and encouraged me to get involved in the industry. I started performing at weddings shortly after that and instantly loved the atmosphere, the people, and being part of such an important day in someone’s life. Four years on, I’ve been performing at weddings consistently and have built up experience creating live music moments that feel personal, relaxed and memorable for every couple.
Q: Katie: Every business has its own distinct personality. What is the core philosophy, style, and value system that defines your work today?
A: I’m all about creating a wedding atmosphere that feels relaxed, personal and genuinely fun. Live music has such a huge impact on the energy of a day, and my goal is always to make moments feel natural rather than staged. Whether it’s an emotional aisle song, laid-back drinks music or a packed dancefloor singalong, I want guests to feel completely present in the moment.
My style is modern, acoustic-led pop, mixing timeless classics with current songs people actually love singing along to. Couples often describe me as easy-going, professional and adaptable, and I think that comes from understanding that every wedding is different. No copy-and-paste playlists, no awkward wedding singer clichés, just great live music tailored to the people in front of me. Above everything, I value reliability, good communication and making the whole experience stress-free for couples from the first enquiry to the first dance.
“I’ve played at registrar led and celebrant led ceremonies and the rigid, registrar-led ceremony that can feel more like a pressured exam than a celebration. More and more couples are moving toward celebrant-led weddings, and it makes such a difference. Suddenly the whole ceremony is built around them, their story, their personalities. The room relaxes, the emotion is real, and honestly the music hits completely differently when everyone in the room feels like they’re part of something personal rather than just watching a formal procedure.”
Q: Katie: Let’s talk about your ‘dream couple’. Describe the people that make you instantly say, "Yes, I absolutely need to work with them!"
A: My dream couples are the ones who want both sides of live wedding music, the intimate moments and the big atmosphere. I love working with couples who want that emotional, personal feeling of walking down the aisle to their song performed live and acoustically, creating a moment that feels completely unique to them.
But I also love couples who want the energy to lift straight after the ceremony, turning the drinks reception into a fun, upbeat atmosphere where guests are singing along, dancing, and properly enjoying themselves from the very start of the day. For me, the best weddings balance emotion and energy perfectly, and I love being part of both.
Trends & Expert Secrets
Q: Katie: What is the most unique, unconventional, or wonderfully memorable wedding setup you’ve ever been a part of?
A: One moment that really stands out happened at the Coniston Hotel. I was playing Hallelujah as the bride walked down the aisle, and the emotion in the room was something else, the whole room was in tears before she’d even made it in. She actually had to wait outside for a moment to compose herself, so I did something you simply can’t do with a playlist: I extended the song, looping back through the verse and chorus to give her the time she needed. When she finally walked in it was perfect timing. That’s the thing about live music, it breathes and responds to the moment in a way nothing pre-recorded ever could.
Q: Katie: The wedding world is always evolving. What exciting new patterns, directions, or details are you noticing right now in your brilliant corner of the industry?
A: Couples are increasingly asking for really personal, specific song choices rather than the classic wedding staples, tracks that mean something to them as a couple, sometimes quite unexpected genres, and they want them stripped back and done in a way that feels intimate rather than performative.
Q: Katie: If you could predict the 'next big thing' or share one thing you’d love to see more UK couples embrace, what would it be?
A: Longer acoustic sets during the cocktail hour, that window between the wedding breakfast and the evening do. It’s such an underused part of the day and a live acoustic guitarist filling that space creates something really special, relaxed, warm, and memorable in a way a playlist simply can’t replicate.
Q: Katie: For couples currently planning their wedding, what insider secret or piece of advice would you give them from your area of expertise?
A: Don’t underestimate the power of the music during your ceremony. Most couples spend months deciding on flowers and table settings, but leave the music as an afterthought. Those few songs: your aisle entrance, the signing, your aisle exit, are the moments everyone will remember feeling something. Talk to your musician early, be specific about what those songs mean to you, and don’t just default to the obvious choices if they’re not really you.
The Wedding Journey & Meaning
Q: Katie: When a couple books you, what does that journey look like from start to finish? How do you make sure they feel completely looked after?
A: Once a couple enquires I like to keep things really simple and personal. We have a conversation, whether that’s over email or a call, where I get to understand what their day looks and feels like and what music matters to them. From there I send across all the details they need clearly, with no stress. As the wedding gets closer we check back in, confirm the setlist for the ceremony, and I make sure every song they want is ready exactly as they’d hope. On the day, I arrive early, set up quietly, and handle everything myself so they don’t have to think about it at all.
Q: Katie: We are seeing a gorgeous shift away from 'perfect-for-Instagram' weddings toward deeply meaningful days. What is one old-school wedding tradition or rule you are secretly glad modern couples are ditching?
A: I’ve played at registrar led and celebrant led ceremonies and the rigid, registrar-led ceremony that can feel more like a pressured exam than a celebration. More and more couples are moving toward celebrant-led weddings, and it makes such a difference. Suddenly the whole ceremony is built around them, their story, their personalities. The room relaxes, the emotion is real, and honestly the music hits completely differently when everyone in the room feels like they’re part of something personal rather than just watching a formal procedure.
Q: Katie: When the wedding magic is done and you’re finally off-the-clock, where can we usually find you and how do you like to unwind?
A: Honestly, you’ll probably find me at another gig. When I’m not playing weddings, I’m out doing live performances across Yorkshire, Lancashire, Manchester and the North West, it’s just what I love doing. Music is never really work to me, so unwinding and doing what I enjoy is a dream.
