Master Storyteller

Let’s be honest: nobody wants a wedding where the guests are staring at their watches, wondering when the fun bit starts. I’m an ICPC trained Independent Celebrant, and with my background as a luxury Wedding Manager, I know weddings inside out!

I don't do templates, and I certainly don't do boring. I take your vibe, values, personalities and love story, I edit out the fluff, and deliver the most important scene of your life with heart and soul.

The Full Main Character Experience

Working across Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, and beyond. I’ll write a bespoke ceremony from scratch that sounds and feels exactly like you, I manage the energy of the room, and weave your love story into a modern celebration where you two get the main character energy.

Expect happy tears, laughter, and the peace of mind that comes from having a wedding pro at the helm.

The Expert Script Writing Service

Have you asked a friend or family member to officiate, only to realise they’re now waking up in a cold sweat and considering spending thousands of pounds on celebrancy training? Don't let them wing it.

As a freelance wedding writer, I’ll craft the entire ceremony for you. I’ll provide the bespoke ceremony, the flow, and the vital prompts that us wedding professional know, so your bestie can deliver the goods without the panic.

Katie is also the Editor in Chief of Celebrant Led, where she freely shares her extensive wedding knowledge and showcases the best suppliers and venues for modern, celebrant led weddings.

The Reviews

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Katie was nothing short of perfect. From the very beginning she took the time to truly get to know us, not just our story but who we are as people, and somehow turned that into the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony we could ever have imagined. She told our love story in a way that was magical, personal, and so us that it felt like she had known us our whole lives. Every single guest told us how special and unique it was, and many were moved to tears. Katie’s warmth, kindness and talent made the heart of our wedding day unforgettable. We will treasure those words forever. I could not recommend her more highly. She does not just create ceremonies, she creates memories you will hold in your heart for a lifetime. ”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The biggest THANK YOU!!

We were lucky enough to have Katie marry us two weeks ago, and from the very beginning she was absolutely amazing. She took the time to really get to know us, even coming to our home, and created a ceremony that was so personal and meaningful. She beautifully included our daughter, told our love story in such a special way, and made sure every single detail was perfect.

The ceremony was more incredible than we could have ever imagined – heartfelt, relaxed, and completely us. We honestly couldn’t have wished for anything better. Choosing a celebrant-led ceremony was the best decision we made, and we’re so grateful to Katie for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you!

Katie was absolutely wonderful she not only wrote us a beautiful and special ceremony but she helped us make sure the day ran smoothly, supported our planning, helped keep us calm and content and made us feel so at ease. Everyone complimented our ceremony and we completely know why. It was perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking for a personalised ceremony. ”
