Hello, I’m Katie, AKA the wedding bestie you didn’t know you needed!

I am a Wedding Manager turned Editor and Celebrant and aiming to be the No.1 UK resource for celebrant led weddings. I believe you deserve better than a stranger with a government template. Before I moved into the editorial world, I was a Wedding Manager at a prestigious county estate where I planned and delivered hundreds of wedding ceremonies. I saw first-hand that energy drop the moment two strangers walk in to read a generic script. It totally kills the vibe, and I made it my professional mission to fix it.

Shaping the Future of Weddings

I don’t just write about weddings; I help shape the future of them. I am proud to speak as an advisor on Marriage Law Reform, advocating for a world where couples have the freedom to marry in a way that truly represents them. You will also find my industry insights in the WedPro Wedding Report 2026, where I share my expertise on where modern weddings are heading.

As a professional wedding writer, I am always writing. Whether I am on press visits scouting the most incredible UK venues or researching the very best in honeymoons and mini-moons, I am constantly gathering insights to share with you.

Your Go-To Wedding Resource

Celebrant Led is designed to be your ultimate planning companion. Think of it as your modern wedding encyclopedia with:

• How-To Guides: Practical, expert advice to help you navigate the planning process.

• Real Life Wedding Inspiration: A look at how other couples have ditched the template and done things their way.

• Meet the Venue Teams: We go behind the scenes to introduce you to the people who will actually be looking after you.

• Supplier Spotlights:We only champion the very best in the business who truly get the celebrant led vibe.

• Am I Being a Bridezilla?:My anonymous advice column where you can vent, ask the awkward questions, and get a dose of expert perspective.

The Home of the Slow Living Wedding

This website is my love letter to modern couples who crave a connected, personal wedding. Celebrant Led is the home of the slow-living wedding, where we prioritise experience and intention over tradition for the sake of it.

My goal as Editor is to connect you with your wedding day and help you find a brilliant celebrant who matches your vibe, values, location, and budget. Whether you are here to find your perfect storyteller or you want me to direct the most important scene of your life personally, I am here to ensure your wedding is a treasured memory.

I want your ceremony to be the heartbeat of your day, not a stiff and boring assembly before the bar opens. I am so glad you have found this corner of the internet.
