Saddle Room Humanist Wedding, Leyburn | Laura + Steven
Laura and Steven’s humanist wedding ceremony in the beautiful Bell Barn at the Saddle Room in Leyburn meant so much to the couple from the beginning.
Having already attended the humanist ceremonies of loved ones, they knew exactly the kind of wedding ceremony they wanted if they ever tied the knot. Their ‘Story so far’ started with a great retelling of what has to be one of the longest first dates in history, followed by a cataloging of their passions and hopes for their future together. Vows and an exchange of rings that reaffirmed their lasting commitment to one another were followed by a hand-fasting led by two of Steven and Laura’s best friends.
You can hear how much the ceremony meant to the couple via their testimonial below.
‘We are so pleased that we chose Hannah as our Celebrant – from the very beginning of the process she was extremely warm and friendly.
During the whole planning stages, you could tell it was going to be a very personalized ceremony, due to the amount of effort and care she took in getting to know us as a couple, our lives and backgrounds. She also encouraged us to write down our own words and stories about each other, so she could incorporate this into her ceremony. She was exceptionally organised and always responding to emails, so it was just one less thing for us to worry about in the build up to the wedding knowing she had everything in hand.
On the day she was warm and heartfelt, moving many relatives and friends to tears with her words. People commented on how it was a lovely, personalized and different service to the usual wedding ceremonies. We have been to a few Humanist wedding ceremonies now and (I am not just being biased when I say this!) it was by far the best, as the effort that went into getting to know us really made the difference.
We would thoroughly recommend her to anyone and it even inspired one of my cousins to meet with Hannah about becoming a Celebrant herself!’
