I live on the wild west coast of Wales where I've been lucky enough to raise my three, now grown up children. I'm at my happiest when I'm surrounded by people. Whether it's at a gig or a festival, a bar or a restaurant, a theatre or the cinema, the beach or a lake. I simply love the company of others. I enjoy chatting and socialising and generally getting to know people. I also love the outdoors and will either be in flip flops, wellies or walking boots, depending on whether I'm at the beach, in the woods or walking the coast path.
I've always worked in a people-centred environment - banking, teaching and, for the last eight years, as a management trainer and coach. I have a love of music, literature and poetry and so when I started thinking about becoming a wedding celebrant it felt like a really natural fit.
Being a celebrant means that I get to indulge my love of creative writing, I get to use my planning skills, I get to think about the choreography of a ceremony, I get to talk about music and words, but most importantly I get to meet some gorgeous couples and be a part of what will be the most special day of their lives.

Holly and Wayne got married on Christmas Eve 2020 with just a handful of guests and their beautiful little boy Freddie.
Throw in a candlelit festival stage and a guitarist sat in a sleigh, not to mention a global pandemic, and you'll get some idea of what an incredibly special wedding this was.
Click the picture if you'd like to read about how we managed to pull off the seemingly impossible, just five days after lockdown was announced.
"We cannot thank you enough for making our dreams come true.
You are an amazing lady and we are so pleased that we were your first wedding".
Mr & Mrs Wayne & Holly Morse, and Freddie of course

As a humanist I believe that we have just one life. For me that means this life is incredibly special and I fully intend to grab every moment and make it count. I'm lucky in that I am surrounded by family and friends. I live in a beautiful part of the world and I am also able to travel and see so much more than what lays within my comfort zone. I fill my life with experiences that bring me joy, that nourish me and make this one wild and precious life worth living. I bring this joy and zest for life to my ceremonies in the hope that together we will create something truly magical.
