Wedding Celebrant in Manchester

Hello, I’m David — a Manchester-based celebrant creating warm, relaxed and story-led ceremonies across the city and Greater Manchester.

If you're dreaming of a wedding, vow renewal or naming ceremony that feels authentic, human and deeply personal, you’re in the right place.

My ceremonies are written entirely from scratch, shaped around your story, your personalities and your vision for the day. No templates, no recycled scripts — just meaningful words crafted with intention.

Manchester weddings have a distinct energy — something vibrant, expressive, and grounded in real life. There’s a beautiful honesty to the stories couples share here, and a desire for ceremonies that feel genuine rather than traditional for tradition’s sake.

One of my ceremonies at Halle St Peter’s in Ancoats captured this perfectly. With its blend of historic character and modern openness, it created a space where the couple’s story could unfold with simplicity, warmth and emotional depth. Moments like these remind me why Manchester ceremonies feel so special.

Wherever your celebration takes place — industrial, modern, intimate or creative — my role is to help craft a ceremony that complements the atmosphere and centres your connection.

The Heart of a Manchester Ceremony

💍 Weddings

Your ceremony should feel like you — meaningful, heartfelt and free from rigid traditions. Manchester’s creative spirit makes it a wonderful place for ceremonies that feel authentic, flexible and full of personality.

💞 Vow Renewals

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply honouring the journey you’ve lived together, a vow renewal in Manchester offers the perfect balance of reflection and joy.

🌟 Naming Ceremonies

I write naming ceremonies that feel gentle, uplifting and full of warmth — personalised to your family’s values and the hopes you hold for your child.
